Looks a lot less dated than other merch from that era too.

And generally speaking imo, GNR merch 2002-2010 look way more updated than NITL era lol

That's seriously fucked up. On the one hand, you disrespect him so much that you shout out crap like this, and on the other hand, you pay loads of money to go see the show. Some people would deserve hard labour, no money, and some humbleness lessons until they figure out what's what.

E.g. I can criticize him all I like here, but if I buy the ticket, I'm there to enjoy the show, aren't I? Not to mention these assholes are spoiling other people's fun, which is fucking selfish, and that's one of the worst human traits ever. Idiots. 

Despite all of my criticism of Axl throughout the years, I have to agree with this point. You can express criticism in any format you prefer, but one thing I absolutely refuse to do is insult an individual, regardless of their fame or lack thereof.

It brings to mind a situation when there was a fantastic opportunity for fans to establish a respectful connection with Fernando (and TB) in a civil manner in the War Room discord channel. However, some incredibly foolish individuals ruined it by posting memes and offensive content about his mother. That is completely unacceptable to me.

Doesn't make my comment inapplicable to Fernando. He's done enough of such bullshit in the past. lol

They've taken the video off from their insta stories, someone FN' fucked up 😂

If the reason was really because fans speculating a fucking song then: Fernando, if you're reading this, you're a retard bro. We knew it already but we always think there's always hope for everyone, but not for you. lol

Why? Did they play anything new tonight?! Am I missing something?!

I have a friend there : TWAT, Locomotive, no KOHD. I've been in the GN'R community for +25 years, a few people might know me from the DVD bootleg era.

I know you for sure ;-)

It must have been irritating for the crowd to not have pee break this time.

Anyone know what's going on with Kat?

I haven't seen any new photos from the current tour.. Also, according to her IG page, seems like it's not with the band.

Is she alright?

Beta should know.

I can't imagine people on the forum here stalking journalists that write a bad review, even if it's a shit biased review. I could imagine a certain type of fans do that, but not this forum. In fact, the consensus here seems to be to just ignore the overly bad reviews and not give him anymore attention. That seems to be the polar opposite of starting a hate campaign online. We're no GNR army here.

Couldn't agree more. Thank you.

K-Pop fans are certified psychopaths.

Indeed. So let's not act like them!

That's not Del James' Twitter 

Ok corrected. But doesn't make any difference. 

The individuals surrounding Axl are exhibiting all the characteristics listed in a cult identification checklist. Same goes to some of the fans ^ LOL

In a way I kind of understand the cultish behaviour of these people. They gotta protect their sole source of income.

This is the first time since 2016 that they respond publicly to negative reviews (it's addressed to The Independent and The Telegraph)

Sad to see the incompetent Fernando in control of the band's twitter and keeps posting cringy stuff like this.

That phrase in Chinese Democracy is about much deeper thoughts than using it for cheap bashing of two tabloid journalists.

Hey Fernando, let's do truth or dare. Can you even flip burgers at McDonalds?

This is Elton John's moment to shine, he's not going to give last night's headliner even more spotlight is he? Let's be realistic. 

These have all been carefully selected and rehearsed way ahead of time (he's said in multiple interviews how he's had rehearsal space booked specifically for the guests), they're not sporadic – unlike Dave Grohl, who was clearly a last-minute addition, evidenced by the fact he was playing one of Fortus' guitars.

Plus, it's not like they released a big hit together, is it? I mean, he did a song with Dua Lipa, and even she's not playing with him. She was even at one of his recent shows and didn't play with him.

I'm not trying to be a downer, just being realistic. I can't think of a single reason why he'd obviously appear

Now this argument makes sense.

Funny isn’t it that no other artists at glastonbury have had the mic sound issues Axl did - the sound for Elton is amazing and his vocals are loud, no issues for him.

It's been a big issue for Axl since at least 2001. There's a secret group of conspirators sabotaging his hearing system. Specially on big shows.

Beta is looking into it for years...

Why do people think Axl's going to appear?  Almost zero chance of it happening. Why would he bring the previous day's headliner up?

I mean I'm not so hopeful but your reasoning doesn't make sense as well. Like why he wouldn't?

at the end of the day it's Elton we're talking about. I wouldn't be surprised if Axl does this. It's like probably the last chance or oppurtunity for such a performance for Axl.

idk what the fuck some of you are listening to and what drugs you're on while doing so, but most of the time Axl sounds like he's on helium and there's a huge metal spike being shoved up his bottom. Good Lord it's awful! 

well said. cheers mate.

Guns N’ Roses review, Glastonbury 2023: Frontrunners for the worst Glasto headline set of all time
Axl Rose flips between a lower register that resembles a clogged lawnmower and a higher one that sounds like Barry Gibb suffering the mother of all wedgies

/ by Mark Beaumont

If Noel Gallagher’s wading into a Glastonbury headliner debate, you know matters are taking a significant turn. Back in 2008, Noel was “not having” Jay-Z headlining; this year, indie music’s sagest commentator finds it “crazy s***” that Guns N’ Roses are topping Saturday night’s bill. And this time, rather than his comments being brushed like dirt from the shoulder of progress, he has a point.

By booking Guns N’ Roses, having spent 15 solid years widening the cultural remit of Britain’s most legendary festival, Glastonbury made its biggest backward misstep since Mumford & Sons. The festival could have honoured a rich and influential songbook, like those of the Pyramid Stage’s other heritage heroes Paul McCartney, Elton, Bowie or The Rolling Stones. But from the moment GN’R arrive – with uncharacteristic punctuality – to corny, cartoonish visuals of skulls in Slash hats, they represent everything dated, rockist, indulgent and macho that Glastonbury has rejected since its inception.

Launching into the grisly Sunset Strip rock’n’roll of “It’s So Easy”, Axl Rose writhes around the stage like he’s in a pop-up ad for a very niche fetish website, while Slash works relentless quicksilver riffs from his Gibson. The 57-year-old holds his guitar at a permanently priapic angle, with the expression of a plumber installing a particularly intricate under-sink filter system. A structure is swiftly set. There will be sporadic air-punching to crowd-rousing hard rock classics, which are largely culled from 1987’s Appetite For Destruction. But enjoy these while you can, because it’s liable to be 30 to 40 minutes of self-indulgent soloing, set-padding punk covers and overlong bluster rock before the next one shows up.

Guns N’ Roses misfit a Glastonbury headline slot on so many levels that they might as well be wearing T-shirts reading “Leylines Suck” or “Beards NEED Moustaches”. Jock-friendly heroin tributes like “Mr Brownstone” are made to chug kegs to, not lose yourself, the size of a pinhead, in a pint of psychedelic cider. “Bad Obsession” sounds like Eighties Reading’s revenge. And despite being this year’s only Pyramid Stage headline act with a female member (in keyboardist Melissa Reese) there are moments when they exude more toxic masculinity than Andrew Tate’s personal Lynx factory. Witness Axl berating a “syphilitic priestess” with a “p**** full of maggots” to visuals of a vomiting Medusa on “Absurd”, like the most incel of Tinder trolls. Or “Pretty Tied Up”, boasting the none-more-chivalrous chorus “pretty tied up, hanging upside down, pretty tied up and you can ride her”.

Axl, it quickly transpires, is Guns N’ Roses’ fatal flaw. The band may be capable of weighing down their paciest speed-rock workout (“Double Talkin’ Jive”) to a ponderous chug and could drag “The Wheels on the Bus” out to an overblown 12 minutes. But even when they’re locked into a powerful, charged union – on, say, “Estranged” or “Reckless Life” – Rose makes the whole thing sound like a Muppet Show pastiche of hard rock. It’s his voice: a creature that, were you to take it to a vet, would come home in a cardboard box. Mumbling vague approximations of English words as if chronically constipated (if you’ve hit the goat curry hard enough, you’ll feel his intestinal pain), he flips between a lower register that resembles a clogged lawnmower and a higher one that sounds like Barry Gibb suffering the mother of all wedgies.

It deflates even their most iron-clad tunes. Terf Twitter might watch him shriek his way through “Welcome to the Jungle” and consider it living proof that grown men are now identifying as cockerels. “November Rain” – Axl at the piano and band in full bombast mode – makes Elton’s “I’m Still Standing” look like a masterclass in enunciation. “You Could Be Mine” sounds like it’s being mauled by a pack of wild cats and Axl lands such relentless hammer blows to the skull of Wings’ “Live and Let Die” (minus the rumoured Macca guest spot) that “let die” becomes the kindest option. The righteous import of “Civil War”, adorned with images of a tattered Ukrainian flag, are lost in his formless mewling. A parade of rock cliché outfits – shiny biker king, Vegas magician – only serve to emphasise the sense that he’s become a lounge singer tribute to himself.

When Rose disappears and lets bassist Duff McKagen take the mike for The Stooges’ “TV Eye”, the visceral punk rock band at Guns N’ Roses core comes out to play in his absence. And to his credit, Rose adequately handles more leisurely tracks like “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” and “Patience” and knocks a fantastic final “Paradise City”, featuring Dave Grohl’s 37th surprise guest slot of the weekend, clean out of the Avalonian vale. But by this point, even truncating their usual three-hour set to a relatively nimble two-and-a-half, they’re exhausting viewing and frontrunners for the worst Glastonbury headline set of all time. Crazy s***? If only it’d been crazy, Noel…
