DieselDaisy Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 They are not really a 'Glastonbury style' act I'm afraid. The hippies would hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieSheen Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Well if Metallica can headline Glastonbury, then I don't see any problem with Guns headlining.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I think they'd go down great at Glasto. They would have to take a big pay cut though. I think headliners only get paid about £100k which will be worth about $20 by next June thanks to Brexit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hippies would hate them. As much as you're right... Coldplay performed this year and it was phenomenal - judging from the recordings and videos.... Conclusion - Glastonbury is fuckin awesome festival - Yes, Download suits GnR better but even this is awesome!! All in all, nothing beats a standalone concert.. GnR should play Wembley for that matter, cause you cannot compare energy of the festival against the energy of GnR concert!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 They just don't fit welll, the headliners they had this year are the kind of thing Glastonbury goers want, not GNR. They complained bitterly about Metallica headlining, and they didn't really win the crowd over. So far, for 2017 GNR are favourites to headline Download, Reading/Leeds and Glastonbury and of course they will be going on their own stadium tour with AXL/DC as the opener! I hope only Download is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anguyen92 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I mean I wouldn't be opposed to them headlining Glastonbury if we can get a nice quality live stream pro-shot, but they could be a bit out of place in that festival as oppose to something like Download.

I hope only Download is true. I've been to Glasto 7 times and there's usually something for every kind of crowd. GnR would be very well received. 12 minutes ago, DieselDaisy said: Glastonbury is a bit like Coachella, full off middle class 'faux' hippies in designer wellies drinking Pimms.

MillionsOfSpiders Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I don't think they would, especially not when people hear the way Axl sings SCOM and NR, two of their most iconic songs, they sound awful live now. They would definitely put those two songs on the BBC for everyone to hear. It wouldn't go over well. Funnily, I think AC/DC with Axl would be better received and be a better performance.

Oh, I definitely agree Glastonbury is probably not a great chocie for GnR....but if the money is enough, I'm sure they'd do it. I've said all along they would headline Download for sure next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Download is ten minutes from my house Seriously though, a massive majority of regular Download goers want gnr to play. ive been reading their forum, they have been following gnr since April 1st and know what to expect. It would go well. Better than trying to win round half a crowd that won't want you there. Edited June 27, 2016 by MillionsOfSpiders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
