After listening to the songs a good few times I’m really enjoying them. Just my thoughts on them. The General- I’m not a CD era fan and straight away this song is that era put into 4 mins. But for me this song hits differently. I like it when artists add a darker and heavier side to the odd song and that’s what I love about The General. It seems to work really well Axl’s vocals , the orchestral parts plus Slash’s guitar I just can’t get the song out of ma head though I would say it was the grower of the 2 songs. On the lead side of things I would say that’s definitely all Slash. Monsters - simply a monster of a song and loved it more out of the 2 songs. The second half of the songs is just killer with the outro solo. And on the lead debate on that I think it’s Slash then Fortus on the last bit. If GNR ever do make a new album from scratch then this is what I think it will be more like a more VR with Axl sound and Fortus picking up some leads here and there. If this is the one song split into two parts then I think music wise The General is the sound of the CD era ending and Monsters is the transitioning into the sound of this line up.

It would suit Axl’s vocals fine in the lower register -
Fuck going by the crowd experiences I must’ve been in the jungle 😂 I was at the front slightly to the left of centre at the GA and I seen paramedics for someone to the left of me and also to a woman to right and I seen either 4 or 5 people getting taken away by security with the last person still singing at the top of his voice to whatever was playing 😂

Yeah you can hear Axl struggling to sing it in bits but like Absurd I haven’t bothered with the studio version as much but I thought it’s better as a live song. I can’t believe I’m saying but I now prefer Absurd over Hardskool when it’s live.
-
That was a surprise to me. I’ve not listened to the studio version since it came out but when when your there at the show it’s a riff that can get the crowd going. I think Absurd and Hardskool are songs that work a lot better live

This was my first time seeing GNR so it was just amazing to hear them all getting played live. Love PTU as well. PTU , Bad Obsession Reckless life , SOYL and Anything Goes were the ones I was hoping they’d play. Locomotive was the only other song I’d have like to have seen. It was a good night.
-
😂yeah definitely. Personally that was my only disappointment they didn’t play Locomotive it’s probably my second favourite song after Nightrain
-
Before Walk all over you when Axl said there was a band request did anyone else think the rest of the band talked Axl into singing perhaps ? 😂😂
-
Thanks just saw it on the set list. I don’t watch this song being played so I’m not as familiar with it. I think I’ve seen a video of it once when they first started playing it on the set list
-
Quick question to those that were there. What was the song they played when Axl started talking about glens and mentioned glen Campbell ? I’ve never heard it before but it was obviously a cover

At last after 3 cancellations and 30 years of waiting I’m finally on ma way to my first GNR gig. Buzzing

Apparently the rain is to ease off around the time GNR hit the stage 🙏. But this is Scotland after all so I’ll pack some swimming gear 😂

I’ve got the one for GNR and it says golden circle instead of pen 1 and 2
-
I’m thinking it’ll be 7.30 they hit the stage that gives them 3.5 hours

I’ve seen this pile of shit review pop up in my feeds on Facebook this morning a few times by different media outlets and while I only read a handful of comments each time every one mentioned how good they thought GNR were and Axl still got a lot of praise for still bringing it at 61 years old. That was encouraging to read more than the click bait review. At the end of the day GNR have never been everyone’s cup of tea.

Yesterday was just a great reminder how good the band can still be. I just loved spending the day watching Glastonbury and building up to GNR playing. I didn’t get into GNR till around a few months or so after Paris 92 but to me this was like this this line ups version of that. This was the chance to show a huge watching audience with people watching in their homes the chance to show what they’re all about. I’m glad they went out and showed everyone while it’s not 30 years ago they are still a great band and can still bring it to the stage. Can’t wait till Tuesday in Glasgow yesterday just set the mood for it

Think I’m glad Glasgow got cancelled last year now if this is anything to go by
