I always thought that this was a piece of performance art as the point was weather you believe they burned the money or not There was only the film of the money burning and the information about how much money was found on that beach, so only these two men knew how much actually was burned Or how much money they took to the Island to begin with so do you believe they burned all that money? or have I thought about this too much?

To not be born with any millions, make a million or two, then burn a million green queens. It doesn't get much better. I miss The KLF. Personally, I couldn't burn the fiver in my pocket, without a lifelong regret....

Try getting a million quid in cash out of the bank these days, you can't even take a grand out without the teller asking what it's for, The obvious answer? "I'm going to burn it".

giving the money to charity or other thought to be good causes is missing the point. money should never be the issue when it comes to getting the help people need, community is more important for that, so much money is sent to charities and so called good causes , its a bottomless pit and but it rarely reaches those that really need it, it corrupts and is one of the main causes for the controlled politicians of today, we have money in this country but a lot of it is sent abroad supposedly to help others and yet our own people are increasingly left uncatered for. Money is held too highly in many peoples minds and it corrupts but obviously not them.

If most folk on the street really understood how money works in the modern financial system they would be more relaxed about KLF burning a million quid. Central Banks literally produce money with the click of a mouse and then distribute it as debt for clearing bands to sell to us mugs in the street as debt for the banks to earn interest on. Being unlinked now to Gold, most new currency is Fiat Currency issues as a debt for some worker drone to realise its value in the future. An IOU as it were for the future of that country's economy. At the end of the day Drummond or Cauty could have brought a yacht with it, so the whole charity argument is a straw man. Most people who own millions of pounds just keep it in the bank or put it into property or assets that do nothing but appreciate (they hope) and make them richer still.

I love KLF, I’m 43 and still listen to them today. The way Gay Is putting it to them about people needing hip replacements and people being in poverty who need that money is unbelievable…If at that time, and it was a long time ago, that people had to fast in Cork to raise money for the homeless…what the fuck has that got to do with the KLF? Would that not be the government’s problem and not an electronic bands problem? And the the audience are going along with Gays’ narrative…Fucking unbelievable…The KLF were inspired by an artwork to do this, and they copied it but seriously upped the ante on it…Bollox to anyone who tells you what to do with your money when the CEO’s of “charitable organisations “ are sitting pretty on a fortune and expect the people who are being screwed over day by day to give their hard earned cash away…Bollox, it’s your money and you should do with it what you choose…If Gay was that concerned or any audience member felt the need for that money to go to someone needing a hip replacement why didn’t they put their hands in their pocket…there was nothing stopping them…Years too late but a rants a rant…stop looking to musicians and celebrities to sort shit out..Live Aid done fuck all and where’s the government?
