If this was a big name band (or even a talented one) this would be seen as genius.
However, these guys are terrible. My eardrums are bleeding and my eyes are bleeding from the bad CGI in their video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsfeqw8Wzw4
U2 did this years ago in NYC, and while heralded, it was a different scene. Because they did it from a rooftop, they didn't stop traffic in the most traffic clogged city in the the U.S. (like these asshats did)
I think that if a more famous band did the same stunt, it would have been bigger news - but would have backfired on them, as the media (and consumers) would have expected them to know better. (With fame comes a different level of responsibility.)
That said, traffic stopping in L.A. isn't new - plenty of protests and marches have done similar things, too.

imperial stars might be good music for torturing dictators, that's about it
