Guns N' Roses Live Earth Press Release

[D]

Does anyone even remember or care who played at Live 8?


This isnt a big deal.

Does anyone even remember or care who played at Live 8?


This isnt a big deal.

Ofcourse, Pink Floyd. For that alone Live 8 will never be forgotten.

Does anyone even remember or care who played at Live 8?

Are you serious?

The Pink Floyd 4 songs set (Speak To Me/Breath, Money, Wish You Were Here, Confortably Numb) was probably the greatest and most important musical performance of this century.

No one cares dude, hasnt changed shit

Is anyone gonna remember that GNR didnt play this?

U think kids are gonna go to the record store and say "GNR, they didnt play LIve Earth, FUck them and their cd........"

NO

I dont think anyone really cares who plays and who doesnt play


Everyone who rants and raves about Global Warming, Id love to see exactly what they are doing in THEIR lives to do something about it.

Living in 50 room mansions,driving hummers and jetting around the globe in private planes doesnt exactly help the cause which is why I dont take any of this shit seriously.

U gotta do more than organize a concert and drive around in a hybrid to make a difference.

U think kids are gonna go to the record store and say "GNR, they didnt play LIve Earth, FUck them and their cd........"

maybe, some kids would say, "hey what a cool fucking band, i have to check them out".. or some old fans, "damn axl still got it in him and these guys in the band aint that bad"

[Chief]

good to hear an update, very nice.

on a positive note, maybe they can do the next one? it seems like this is just the first live earth event...

If the prosecutor has her way...the Rio show won't take place.

Never mind dudes - hold your own exclusive Live Earth Gig as we did last night in a small South Australian country town. Here are some novel energy saving ideas that we came up with:

1. Pack everyone into a small front bar - heating bills nil!

2. Save water, no need to wash hands - enough dancing idiots with drinks in their hands will provide you with enough soakage.

3. Request Gn'R and AC/DC songs only - again much warmth fills the room and  the DJ can turn off the music two lines into the song because the whole bar will be belting out the words anyway.........

4. No need to drive home - a paddy wagon is at the front door closing time..........

Had a hoot!

[suntorytime]

Damn I wanted to see Guns playing in toh ji (a buddest temple), the  kyoto venue.

[33]

It would have been nice but hey ho! The organisers loss! At least we have the shows in Japan to look forward to! However whilst it is always the whole band we would would all like to see play, that would have been cool as fuck to see Axl perform with Lenny!!!

[daviebuckethead]

its a shame the band cant play, as well as being a good cause it would be the ultimate opportunity for the band to be seen by the worlds media.

i dont think there is anything "going on" with regards to them not playing live earth, it just thjink it was all a bit last minute, and trhe band and organisers cant really bend their schedule that much to accomodate..

good of Axl to say somehting about it though.

[stolat]

The Live earth line ups seem to be geared towards a young audience, whereas when Live Aid happened in 1985 the line ups were more universal - Queen, Rolling Stones etc.

The Live Earth gig also seems way too 'greeny' and 'nice' (save the planet m'ok!) - Gn'R make a different statement altogether and would probably give the Live Earth audience nightmares.......

There also seemed to be more anger expressed by the performers for the cause in 85.....

[The Catcher]

AN UPDATE FROM AXL ROSE!!! always welcomed!
thanks axl and good luck with the rest of the tour!

[badapple81]

Cool to have an update but I didn't expect nor see any media story suggesting GN'R would take part, or wanted/did want to.. so it's kind of a non event and pointless press release from my point of view..

Hopefully we get some news from Axl regarding other matters soon 

[Fingers]

Would have been neat to see them play it, but it's nice of Axl to explain things, he really didn't have to-I wish he would give more updates like this-I think it's cool-wonder what he would have played with Lenny

[illusionone]

Really would have been cool to see GN'R perform on a world stage like this.  As I said in an earlier post, although I am dissapoint they are not there, I think it's really cool that they offered to play.

[Gunner_Rose]

I can't believe that...A band that did a lot of sold outs in your country has to be in the Austraia/Japan Live Earth. I'm so sad.

[stolat]

Seriously, the more I am watching it on TV, this is not a GN'R gig. The vibe of this gig is so lethargic.......on second thought, maybe GN'r should've been there, if anything to rouse the mainly yuppie, white middle class audience. To the majority of the audience they are just being treated to some nice music..........

[doooodickiebr]

bummer!
