(MUSE) KROQ Show boasts galaxy of stars at annual bash

Kerrang! 
January 8th 2005, Issue #1038

Velvet Revolver, Green Day, Muse and Sum 41 all performed live at the "KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas" concert in Los Angeles on December 11 and 12. 
The annual event, sponsored by Los Angeles rock radio station KROQ, was held at the 6000-capacity Universal Amphitheatre. 
The Saturday night concert featured sets from Muse, Jimmy Eat World, Interpol and The Music. The following evening bill was full of extra special Christmas surprises. Green Day chose to ignore their legacy of hits and instead performed their "American Idiot" rock opera in its entirety to the delight of the crowd. Not to be outdone, Incubus invited two members from legendary 80s rockers The Police onstage. Drummer Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers helped the California rockers perform cover versions of classic songs "Roseanne" and "Message In A Bottle". Good Charlotte, My Chemical Romance, Papa Roach, Social Distortion, The Used and Velvet Revolver also performed at the festive show. 
Santa, however, could not attend the star studded bash due to "prior commitments"...

c. July 2001 (Note - unfortunately the questions have been taken out, so this is fragmented) CHRISTOPHER: Yeah it's been...I mean the last couple of years we've done a lot really. We've sort of started off again in 99, just doing our own little tours, and just gradually building up to sort of going up to bigger tours with other bands, and then getting to the point where we can go out to do our own gigs. You know, gradually getting bigger and bigger.  MATTHEW: 2001... DOMINIC: No, year 2000... MATTHEW: 2000, last year...it's when we sort of found out who we were I think... DOMINIC: Yeah, a little bit more you know. We travelled around the world. Saw a lot of new countries and things like that, so we sort of learnt a lot of things about the band. You know who you are, you change as people, and I think the band just developed and moved forward.  MATTHEW: I think we spent the rest of the whole time touring. We spent the whole year touring, and for the first time headlining ...
