  1. I quite like the fact The General is a B side, it may even help it's cult status, which I believe the band/band management is well aware of. B sides are designed to help support the A side and are not always a reflection of the songs quality. Just because it's a B side does not make it a throwaway song. A lot of bands would write songs with the intention of them being a B side. I also think that B sides are sometimes an ode to the die hard fans as well; yeah a single is aimed at trying to attract new fans but before the days of streaming and downloading I used to enjoy going out and buying my favourite bands singles, just so I could get my hand on the B side(s), and unless the single had massive exposure and appeal via radio, it would mostly be the bands fans buying anyway, to get that B side. The way it's being released, is almost a nod to the ways things used to be done, and I kind of dig that. Even it means I will need to get The General via 'other means'.
  2. Slash pictured at a Germany studio this week. I think I'm going to board the hype train.
  3. You must not have seen the lady with the rather large (cosmetic) breasts try to get the attention of the band during November Rain, who then in frustration threw her top and bra at the stage. She did succeed in getting Axl's and Fortus's attention during Heavens Door, at which time security then intervened..... Axl had a grin on his face for about a minute then, and made some comment about things getting even better.
  4. Estranged was also sound checked. I was parking up in a neighbouring road. Not even in the park and the sound quality was immense. Proper pumped for this tonight.
  5. Just heard perhaps, sounds heavy. Really like it. Civil war now
  6. Set times are out, Pretenders 6 till 7, Guns half 7 till half 10. Curfew 11.
  7. Drone shot from the Arctic Monkees, looks a decent enough set up and their pit doesn't look too massive.
  8. For reference, Arctic Monkee's venue plan: I've been emailed the venue plan for Guns but its not on GIGGS yet. It will be posted on there tomorrow with the set times.
  9. Not sure, how big the Golden Circle is, Muse didn't have one, that was just one big open space. Looking at the venue plan for the Arctic Monkee's it was two pens. Don't know if it means anything, but my ticket numbers for the Golden Circle are 831 and 832. More than likely the order the tickets were printed off in.
  10. Local Scottish rags are saying 8:30 start for them. Not a chance. I'm hoping for 7, then we should get a good 4 hour set
  11. I'm worried more about it impacting set times and turning the grounds into mud, especially after already having the foot traffic of two gigs prior 😕
  12. Weather looks absolutely fucking grim for Tuesday
  13. Both McCartney and Dave Grohl are there, they were watching the Pretenders from the side. I'd imagine they'd both be watching later on.
  14. I think the shirt is pretty cool.... https://twitter.com/AllCautions/status/1672024984514961408?s=19
  15. Curfew is 11, according to the local press. Got a 4 hour drive back to Liverpool after the gig, but can't bloody wait. Tickets came today aswell 
  16. Im a massive fan of the leak, but wow, that actually sounds fucking massive. Like what I'm hearing so far.
