Slash wearing AC/DC High Voltage shirt

Probably a made worn one, he’s mentioned before they give him tees to wear.

Judging by that pic, it doesn't look like Melissa really wants to be in the band..

Not sure if that’s a shadow on her neck or she’s pulled a face mask down-could be covid related? There’s a bit of distance between dizzy.

Did Absurd air uncensored on UK TV?

Yes, well I watched it live on iplayer, I know bbc 2 were 1/2 hr behind so don’t know about that.

I commented briefly on this last night. He only seemed to perk up when Dave appeared. Maybe that was just relief they'd reached the end of the set without major problems. The other band members seeming subdued might just be the result of a high stress moment.

Yea I noticed that too.

I think they all knew how important that was last night- Melissa seemed a bit off aswell and couldn’t really hear her vocals which was a shame ‘cause she’s got a great voice that compliments Axls.

anyhoo, I’m watching again with more beers.

Pops was right at the front by Slash. She said the crowd got really tight halfway through as more people came forward and started to push in front of people already there. But that she didn’t see any mass exodus and it took quite a while to get through the crowds back out.  

Thanks for that👍

It’s official yes, but differs from the one sold at the festival in that the festival one has the main image on the back and the GNR logo is printed small on the left of the chest on the front.  The merch shop version just has the main image on the front. 

Ahh, ok thanks.

love to get my hands on the festival one.

I’m the same as you. Had the opportunity to go, but passed on it as I can’t do the festival scene anymore.  Decided to do Hyde Park, so Poppy went instead.  She was right at the front and said the sun was torcherous and loads of hot sweaty, smelly folks pressing in all around until it started.  

Did she (poppy) comment on the crowd size?

I watched it on tv and it looked huge, however couple of people on the efestival forums have said it was really easy to get into the pit around 10pm, one even said there was a huge exodus and said they’d never seen anything like it.

Not so sure about that though.

The Glastonbury one from merch is not the official official one is it?

Interesting what people were saying about there not being much attention paid to GNR headlining.....

My parents watch Glastonbury every year and I just spoke with them- "so it's Arctic Monkeys headlining and Elton John of course, but who is the other one?" 

They had absolutely no idea GNR were on, despite them having an obsessed son banging on about them since he was a kid in the 80s! 

I do wonder how much GNRs less than slick relationship with the media might be coming into play there. Anyone that's spent any time working in media will absolutely know it's alway a case of 'you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours'.....

SCOM surely? A lot of the crowd won't know Patience I don't think.....

Lol, yup good shout!

I’m just thinking of ‘patience…yeah yeah’ outro with the whole crowd singing along, even after the songs finished.

I think Patience will be the defining song of the set tonight.

A bit like Tender was for Blur, Irreplaceable was for Beyoncé, Seventeen going under for Sam Fender - a good ol sing song that really gets the crowd up.

Arctic Monkeys are getting the piss ripped out of them on social media - looks like  GnR has a chance of not being the worst headliner this weekend 

yey, you’re not wrong, they are getting slaughtered.

….open goal for gn’r?

Who's watching the Monkeys tonight? Surround sound, some cool bears...getting into the mood. This might end up being the biggest show thread in a while 🙂

Yea, I’m loving this coverage, few beers in, sonos cranked up…let’s go!!

Will say it again - this gig will be late-stage career defining in the same way their appearance at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert was. Massive night for them tomorrow. 

Guns have a lot of credit in the bank, so I can forgive them for some lacklustre gigs over the years…..however I completely agree with you on this, this is fucking huge, seriously huge night for them.

Shoulders back and smash it.
