Massive Attack's 3D has claimed that his and Damon Albarn’s anti-war adverts got their petition an extra 18,000 signatures. With this in mind he is now appealing for other musicians to join the campaign. Writing on the Massive Attack website 3-D said: "CND called to say the ads myself and Damon took out in the NME were responsible for over 18,000 extra signatures on the petition against the war on Iraq." Hitting out at those who have criticised his campaign he said: "Any stubborn lifeless lazy or cowardly people who have visited this messageboard with dumbstruck negativity - indeed to the silent majority of my peers in music - I hope you can reconsider your position and use the little power you have now, not at a safe distance later. Do not wait until your only option is to support the Red Cross after the massacre." 3D has told the NME more anti-wars ads are likely to follow.
