Guns N' Roses Live Earth Press Release

[Gargh!]

Its not a Psalm


But its basically about when you give you shouldn't make a big song and dance (pardon the pun) about it and parade your generousity.

^^that is so true.  and alot of these "charity" concerts seem to be just a way for some performers to make themselves look good.  i'm sorry, but what did live earth do?  wasn't it supposed to be for the environment, but look at the tons of electricty and such wasted to put on the show.  doesn't seem too "green" or "anti-global warming" to me.

It's for awareness that we are destroying the planet and individual people can make changes to help.

I thought it was all about if Guns N' Rosess were performing or not.

See, with Live Aid 85, the crowd had no idea who would be performing - people were there for the cause first!

No I really do believe that people thought that it was all about Guns N' Roses performing.

  Well, lets just say, it seemed to be a more powerful event, for some reason.......

Yeah, it did.? Possibly because it was the first of its kind on such a large scale, whereas these days there seems to be some sort of charity/memorial event practically every few months - (maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but you know what I mean).

Oh and forgot to say earlier...White Rabbits!? ?

[stolat]

And to you!

Live Aid also had a better line-up, of course.

live aid 85 kicked the shit out of live earth.  and the concert itself did benefit the cause.  the money earned went directly to fight famine, sending food and fresh water, etc to the impoverished areas of africa, making for immediate relief.  the money for live earth will more then likely go to research, they may or may not do any good.  live earth seemed more like a pagaent for certain pop stars then a benefit.  and i think the spontanaety of live aid made it seem more sincere too.  when certain artists just show up to do a show it means more in my eyes.

you don't need a concert to be aware of global warming.  it's all around us, just watch the climate and such where you live, chances are your seasons and such are getting strange, they are here in northern america.  plus there is no proof that any one thing can stop or slow or reverse it.  they "experts" aren't even sure what causes it or what will stop it.  and there is scientific proof that it is a natural occurance, with some studies even suggesting that polution and green house gases may in fact be slowing it instead of aggrevating it.  the earth has been gradually warming since it's birth, the older the planet gets, the hotter the core gets, therefore warming the planet and atmosphere.  some scientists think the cover of smog and greenhouse gases may actually be acting as barrier to keep some heat from the sun out versus holding the earth's heat.
