Here we go.

Rick Astley smashing fuck out of The Smiths with the Blossoms. Phenomenal

I’ll be AFK, but have the PC ready to record the stream as a backup should we not get it in the best possible quality.

Not bbc 2? I'll put I player on then

It's on BBC 2, but UHD is only available on iPlayer! I believe the delay is on BBC 2, but it will be streamed live on iPlayer (I may be wrong - but GNR hit the stage at 9:30, the airing doesn't happen til 10pm on BBC2)

It's only on iPlayer that it is streamed on 4K by the way

It's the Glasgow Derby nowadays after events of 2012!

Rick Astley getting the step count up and just belted out Highway to Hell...while playing drums!

Anyone just seen Sharleen Spiteri and Texas's set? Not a huge fan or anything but that's the best she's sounded in a long time. You've only to listen to that Interview she just gave on BBC how emotional she was and genuinely in awe of the festival....nice to see.

I caught her at TRNSMT back in 2018, I thought they were great!

This guy has really set a high standard with this stream!!

A reminder that Pele said The General and State of Grace are the same song.

4:08 - 

Is this an original? Fucking sweet.

Thoughts on this? Another Tam classic to my ears. The studio version of Karma's Bitch is everything I'd hoped it be when I first heard Tommy play it live several years ago.

Shades of Dublin '12 with those screams. Unreal

I'm not so sure he's referring to Evader's handiwork, it reads to me generally not being too impressed about supposed leaks being openly discussed (don't think they were too happy with Downzy and co with letting us DISCUSS the leaks, which is mental). 

It’s a shame if these songs Axl laboured over for so long are thrown onto an EP with little fan fare. Granted, it’s better they be officially released than nothing at all, but I’d love for them to just cherry pick the absolute best Axl has and get a full body of work out as a follow up to Chinese.

Slash has mentioned previously about a potential GNR album with those songs, dropping singles sporadically to then release it all as an album, so who knows what could happen?

I assume I will be complaining about the production.

Seriously though, WHAT THE FUCK?!

Some news regarding this: the setlist is real. The General is officially part of the setlist.

The photos that can be seen in my quoted post are part of an album that was uploaded to Facebook by Blabbermouth (or the author of the article), as part of this article:
https://blabbermouth.net/news/guns-n-roses-bring-out-rarities-at-2023-tour-launch-in-abu-dhabi

Unfortunately, it seems like Team Brazil has contacted them and the Facebook post is now deleted (as it can be seen in the article). So the pictures are all gone.

However, this morning I googled the article, and in images there is still a cached (but pixelated) image of the setlist. It can still be accessed from here:
https://www.google.com/search?q=GUNS+N'+ROSES+Bring+Out+Rarities+At+2023+Tour+Launch+In+Abu+Dhabi&sxsrf=APwXEdchx9549wxY2VsavnUeLJ0E-cL7EA:1686067635952&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjrgYi0g6__AhX4rZUCHb_3ALsQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1920&bih=961&dpr=1#imgrc=X2c_oC_MbGYibM

This confirms that the setlist is legit, that at some point it was part of the article (the photos were taken BY the journalist who covered the show), and that The General is on the other page of the setlist.

The General and Perhaps are the two known songs that Gn'R are set to debut live and release officially.

Huge news

A friendly reminder that I love you.

FUCK YES

I’ll take a stroke if that is the case.

That sounds fucking beautiful.

Really great to see something different and interesting. Some unexpected song choices and mixing the set up is fantastic. I had no interest in going to see the same old show but I'd definitely like to see this. And maybe we'll get a couple more different songs thrown in as the tour progresses.

Not to be a downer but I still don't get Slither and Wichita. Especially Wichita which was a tribute what 5 years ago.

But on the up side I'll be looking to snap a bargain ticket for Glasgow 

5 years is actually 6 months in GNR land. 

People Get Ready. Sounds amazing
