That Slash solo kills it every time and Axl's part after the solo was killer too. I can dig this! Easily my favorite so far. He's better overall in the first place here but the way he sings the chorus in general is really growing on me too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site is huge and slopes up at the back to allow even more to have a decent view. There are 4/5 stages as well they reckon 110,000 capacity.

Show had s bit of everything but around the This I Love struggles I thought we might be in for a bit of a disaster. He managed to pull it together for Shadow and it was great to hear Slither. Slash stole the show. Thank you. Just leaving this here for those who were suggesting that Slash should stop doing extended solos/Godfather theme etc... because they're boring. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash never steals the show as much as when he's not doing these extended noodlings that appeared during the WOF tour.

Gold top 78 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Looking for a favour from the U.K. members. I noticed on MTV rock channel there is performances from download 2018 on this evening. As I’m using an app on my firestick to watch channels I’m not getting a description on the guide to who is on. Can anyone find out ? Thanks.

Sky Arts will be showing highlights of the Download Festival towards the end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakey Styley Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Slither is getting a little better. I'd like to see a little improvement on SOYL in terms of how coherent Axl sounds with the words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakey Styley Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Honestly it sounds like fitness and breath management is one of Axl's biggest problems and one that can be solved. He struggles more than ever to hold notes or drag out words when he is supposed to. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't thin but he could move around well and wasn't as bloated. I have no doubts he has a personal trainer on tour, he always did, right? Perhaps he struggles with a medical issue with his body? I mean we don't know, but then again, KFC and Donkin Doughnuts isn't helping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just leaving this here for those who were suggesting that Slash should stop doing extended solos/Godfather theme etc... because they're boring. My friend was there and said THOUSANDS of people were going to the toilets during his RQ solo, blues jams. Said it deflated the set. Great while they were playing actual songs, and boring while they "jammed". He said Slash was actually one of the down points because of it actually. And we both live Slash, but come on!!! Slash plays way too many solos and it was same when we saw them last year and the year before. One big solo section is more than enough. And Richard can have a small solo in heavens door or whatever. Cut the flab. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could chop 30 mins off the show and still have an awesome set. No need for 3 hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great set now, but there's room to tighten and still keep breaks for the "costume changes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donny Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 fantastic atmosphere, fantastic show, fantastic day. loved every minute of it. both duff and axl seemed in good spirits smiling throughout and interacting with the crowd. loved the work slash put in with the intro's and solo's, rock aint rock without a screaming Gibson and slash nailed it. after being a fan spanning 3 decades i finally got to see SOYL live brilliant. and whats with all the negative comments about the set becoming slow in the middle ? some of the bands biggest hits have been slow songs/ballads. in fact it has been 31 years since they last released an album WITHOUT a slow song/ballad on it so what did you expect ? would have been nice if they played both don't cry and patience instead of one or the other and they need to replace the seeker with the garden but all in all one of the best shows i've been to 9/10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appetite4vinyl Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I walked 10 miles yesterday after the gig a steward sent us the wrong way done a whole curcit of the camp site. Basically left on the right hand side came back in on the left side to leave again. Fucking stewards When i got to hotel bed I didn't move till morning. Thats my only complaint of the day. The dope was easy to get in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
