Pretentious, unoriginal, ignorant arseholes. The guilt they feel and difficulty to justify what they have done is a reflection of the stupidity and the selfishness of their actions. If they didn't want the money, and struggling artists are supposed to struggle, I'm sure there are many other charitable organisations that would have hugely benefited from £1million, but hey thats not art, this is a statement afterall. You won't be remembered as anything other than a pair of complete morons.
@kmp3000 they retired from the music industry in 1992 thats why they havent put out anymore music. they werent pop stars they were artists and they burned the money because they didn't care about cars drugs and prostitutes
@CafetaoSuicidal You find it hard to believe some eccentric pop stars want to show the world they have become artists by buring a million quid? While it's not an everyday occurance, it's certianly not that hard to believe. Indeed, if it was not true someone would have come out by now and exposed the farce!
@kingkobra1978 Some people would ask that about money spent on Xbox games, DVDs, Laptop Computers, Plasma TVs etc... People are starving every second of the day, that's everytime anyone makes a luxury purchase, however big or small. I think they were silly to burn the money, but the only people that lost anything was them. The Bank of England can simply reprint the million pounds and put it back into public circulation!
Its there cash. They earned it and they can do what they want. Most pop stars spend there money on expensive cars, drugs and prostitiutes. Bet they wish they had the money now though. They aint made a hit for years. lol
@kmp3000 If the KLF needed money they would certainly re-issue their past hits... they haven't... you can be rest assured they have more money than most of us!
@kmp3000 Actually you are partly wrong. "Its there" is wrong. "It's their" would be correct. :D There and their sound the same but one is place and the other is possessive. :)
@kmp3000 I know it's a spelling mistake. Can't I have a little fun and you not get so defensive at the same time? :) Plus, I doubt an idiot would have caught the mistake. ;)
This is sick and twisted. What did they do for a sequel, run over some orphans? club some seals? They own the cheapest camera in the world and hire the world's worst cameraman and burn all that money? There is zero artistic integrity or value in what they have done. These are true morons.
i don't agree. i think it has true punk spirit, like almost everything they did back in the days. also you have to know the whole story about klf, how they got sued all the time and how everybody wanted their money and always questioned their artistic value. this action, amongst some other funny things they did, was like "kiss my ass"
I've known about this for years, but this is the first time I've seen the footage. To my surprise I find it quite sick. That money could have helped a lot of people who need help.
i think drummond and cauty acknowledge that they didnt work hard for that money - just look at the whold doctorin the tardis fiasco. Nonetheless you just gotta admire the hijinx the KLF got up to - fuck reality
it wasn't a fiasco. instead, they became rich with that song that was just a copy&paste work between existing songs. that's why they knew they didnt work hard for that money!
Do people really believe that they really did it? AND filmed it?
Sterling belongs to the Bank on England. Putting money out of circulation is a criminal offence and with such overwhelming evidence and indeed blatant admissions they would be looking at a prison sentence.
If you're tired of being poor, change your situation in life. It bothers me to no end to hear people bitch about their situation in life, yet make no fucking effort to do anything about it. There's 100s if not 1000s of success stories of people coming from nothing and becoming a millionaire. How? HARD WORK!
If you want something bad enough, go out an get it, or to make it simple: too many people in this world expect a handout.
You fucking darwinist liberal.Have you any idea how people are poor, struggling to feed their children keeping their shite underpaid jobs despite tryin´ a hundred thousand times harder than you sissy has done anything in your whole life?
´knew that K Foundation thing since it was around and I´m still not sure what to make out of it. Like their attitude, can´t stand how many miserable lives could have have been altered with that fucking quid... think they were ambiguous bout that too.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
post-punk God, you forget to think about the question of how the people struggling to feed their children, who keep their shite jobs got in that situation in the first place. poor-living can be overcome, if not avoided in the first place through honest work and honest means by giving up sleep, indulgences, and frivolous entertainment. Also, why do you think it's acceptable for you to make critiques on another man's work over such an indulgent first class entertainment machine as the INTERNET?
KLF shit at writing songs and shit at lighting money bonfiresfires.Thats a shit money bonfire right there.
