Guns N' Roses Live Earth Press Release

[Smokey]

Seams like the organisers made a dogs bollox of the situation, why not have them play in japan? fuckin retarded..

[stolat]

They're not in Japan .....yet.....

[fuckin crazy]

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.

I bitch about Global Warming, and I've cut my petrol consumption by 25%. and lowered my electric use by 10 -15%. The younger people on this forum will see dramatic changes in sea level by the time they reach old age ... and it only gets worse from there.

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

This was already worked out and the concert will happen here.

[gally]

metallica played today at the new wembly stadium, much the same way with the same songs as the freddy merc tribute, back in 92

in fact spinal tap also played who played or messed around back then aswell,

guns should have been there it would have been perfect, huge exposure!

[Dr. Blutarsky]

They screwed Guns over, the organizers are not very bright. Was there anyone beside Linkin Park who was recognizable in Japan?

[Wheres Izzy]

It woulda been great for Guns if they coulda played.Could have gone with 3 songs everyone knows, probably all from AFD then when they had em hooked with the old stuff reeled 'em in with TWAT.

[sandman]

"we have formally offered to perform but the offer of our involvement was declined."

wow! i mean all i can say is wow.

Yeah the organizers are real stupid; they only somehow managed to book 150 bands on seven fucking continents.

[stolat]

Did they book U2? No? Well, if Bono didn't think it was important.....

[fuckin crazy]

Did they book U2? No? Well, if Bono didn't think it was important.....

Hear ... hear, I havn't thought of that analogy, but ...

[chriskon72]

"we have formally offered to perform but the offer of our involvement was declined."

wow! i mean all i can say is wow.

? ? Yeah that is very strange but on the otherhand they could have been declined just because of logistics (travelling, transport of equipment and obviously Axl didn't want to change the Japan dates that had already been rescheduled).

Whatever no biggie, would have been cool to see Axl with Lenny (who by the way wasn't that great yesterday).

But fuck what a hell of flight sched. that would have been;

Australia-Brazil
Brazil-Japan
 

all in a couple of days and for a song or two...holy air miles Batman!

Not very green, that's for sure.

But then again I'm sure all of the artist got off stage and back into their Hummers, Helicopters and Private Jets. Just the way it is I guess.

oh yeah where the fuck was Bono? he couldn't possibly have given up trying to save the world. Now we're really screwed!!

I said they weren't very bright concerning Guns. I never said the organizers were stupid. Here is a link that may be useful:

whatever, I'm not going to argue with a 12-year kid who wasn't even born when AFD came out.

I just don't like it when people put words in my mouth. Let's drop it.  By the way, I'm 34.

[Rockin' Rose]

in fact spinal tap also played who played or messed around back then aswell,

I really enjoyed the Tap, liked how they invited like 10+ bass players to the stage for Big Bottom

[ppbebe]

Shame that it wasn't realized after all but it's nice to know that he/the band tried to take part in the event.

Thanks for the update.

[alex_27]

Is it posible that the organizers thought that Axl could bring problems to the Festival because of the delays in the starts of GNR Shows?  It is some stupid to think it but could it be posible?

[Maxi Fisher]

Oh well - at least Axl didnt get pulled up at airport security for looking like a terrorist 

Hetfield looks more like Paul Tuddle Snr everytime I see him
