This would have been a great image rehabilitation event for Axl.? He could have performed for a great cause, to a huge audience.? Moreover, Axl could have done some duets with other great artists--the kind that seem to become legendary.? In addition, it is of my opinion, that Axl has delivered some of his best performances ever at huge festivals and at events of this nature.? Another opportunity missed.? One has to wonder, how many more they will have??

BTW, Hyde Park in London looks incredible--what an atmosphere for music!? Time for some Floyd!!!

I wouldn't have imagined Live 8 could be so huge. it's really a worldwide musical event? Shocked.
Axl was asked to participate, but he refused. Even a small apparition/ a duet would have been great...yeah...even just one song, 5 minutes... Undecided

Just saw that there are over 1 million people in Philadelphia. ?Axl could have made that city happy by giving a free performance for a great cause. ?If one is an artist, one must desire to perform. ?I could not think of a better opportunity and atmosphere to perform in that the ones we are watching today! ?Folks, it may be that the desire to perform, which is ok, may not be there. ?The best thing to do if that is (assumption) the case, is to stop the retainers so the other artists can move on, and inform the fans that there is no album on the way in the near future.

I have to disagree with you. ?

When Axl comes back, I want all eyes to be on HIM. ?I don't want him to share the stage with anyone.

I know Live 8 is for an excellent cause and everything, but I don't think Axl not showing is going to ruin his chances to make a comeback at a time when the hype will all be focused on him. ok

I'm sure Robin would have love to have performed, at least he's been to and experienced Africa.

As for Axl, well we don't know for sure he was even invited, do we? Maybe the others didn't want to duet with him?

Psychologically, you could consider this a reunion tour because I`ve managed to find enough pieces of my mind in order to be with you here tonight - - Axl Rose, Chicago 2002

I had major doubts about Slash the last few years, but all were erased today!  Him and Duff were phenomenal at Live Aid today!!!  BTW, Scott Weiland is a great singer

I wonder how Axl feels sitting at home watching Slash play kick ass solos and getting a half million people off in London???  No guitarist works an large setting like Slash!! 

Queen made their comeback in 85 at the first Live Aid, Axl missed his opportunity to relight his candle.  Only November Rain for now with the new GNR.

Honestly now, if you were Bob Geldof would you recruit an act that is constantly late for performances and has a tendency to walk of stage mid performance to play at an event that has been running like clockwork?

You're right Fretzo, this I was think he was never approached.

Just watched The Who, if he was going to have sung with a band it should have been them.

The Who was incredible!!!  Pete Townsend is incredible!  I would love to see Axl perform with him, but today Roger Daltry was dead on!  What a performance!

Folks if you are a music fan, this is the best since the Freddy Mercury Tribute!!!

You can bet your bottom dollar he's watching this on his home cinema...I just hope he is inspired to come back and participate in future events.

Has everyone signed the on-line petition at live8live.com?
It'll be amazing to watch Bob Geldof walk into the G8 Summit with 30-40 million signatures!

PINK FLOYD IS BACK!!!? Roger Waters on bass!!!

Pink Floyd, hand's down, maybe the greatest live band ever!!  This is amazing!  Axl might not have wanted to share the stage with legends like this, as they project a large musical shadow!  Simply irrestible sound!
