Billy Cundy Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 2 hours ago, invisible_rose said: I think the big difference between showing up with a sore throat in the 80/90s is that it won't get coverage around the world, and all over Social Media and on terrestrial TV live, like Mickey turning up to one of largest festivals in the UK in the 2020's will. That's where my concern comes - not necessarily for Axl per se, but more the legacy of my favourite band, I suppose. Perhaps I'm acutely aware of the coverage Glastonbury has, the kind of people who tend to go and the press around it, more so than RIR for example. Dunno, just seems like a high risk, low reward show for me. Hopefully I'm wrong! Agreed, it’ll be a bloodbath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see Glastgo agreeing to forego the BBC coverage of the headliner to get GNR. Again, the Stones only allowed the BBC to show the second half of the set – having initially refused to allow them to show any of it. The BBC has even acknowledged that some acts refuse to allow themselves to be broadcast: "On occasion an act may not wish to be filmed or recorded." https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/articles/e7ddb733-2952-4ef4-b45c-0c3518b152aa The first hour of Paul McCartney's set also wasn't broadcast this year – although that was apparently down to the BBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon87 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 19 hours ago, Stay.Of.Execution said: Possible. Two headliner still missing. One of them will probably be slipknot. Although I hope they don't do RaR I just read that RAR isn't managed by Marek Lieberberg anymore (had absolutely no idea about that), who was always said to have a soft spot for Axl and GNR (see the "we'll give you any time slot you want, just come and play" moment in 2006), and the new managers are said to be not in it with heart and soul, just for the money, so that possible link between Marek and Axl is gone.

Sausagebrain Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 If they headline glasto, expect complaints that the band who released 'One In A Million' have been allowed to play there. Think I'm joking? Some people complained endlessly when Metallica headlined there in 2014, because of James Hetfield's love of hunting.

But I have few doubts that there would be complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True there are people around like that but that song is like 34-35 years old. The people who wrote that song clearly aren't the same people today and it's a song that wouldn't have been inked on paper these days. I really don't think that would stop them getting booked.

Mysteron Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Guns would be fine at Glastonbury, if they play. Em's a fan so it could happen, her dad would never have booked them though People always talk before Glastonbury, but on the day, everyone is merry so it's fine. For Guns, it about legacy and they should play Glastonbury if they get the chance, every band should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stezmacc Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Hearing rumours of a Wembley stadium date next summer. Just googled it and there’s a website ‘allevents’ claiming 10th June as a date. they usually announce uk/European dates around this time of year so expect updates soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the bottom it says: "This huge news comes alongside confirmation that the biggest stadium rock tour of 2023! Axl, Slash and Duff have a message for fans: ”we’re coming back with a bigger and better show in 2023!" So either they know something we don't or they're making stuff up.

waxl1974 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Would love a Wembley show after the carnage of Tottenham this year. 10th is ideal as I have the week booked off work. Am seeing Coldplay "I know I know" on the 7th June in Cardiff. I wonder if they would do a double again as is the normal for London shows. Japan seemed to go OK.

stezmacc Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Could be utter BS but then it could also be a ticket agency that have been given a list of dates ready to sell tickets when they go on sale. Slash has confirmed a summer tour and said ‘see u sooner than you think’ following the last euro tour so I wouldn’t be surprised if a tour is announced over next few weeks?

God of Thunder Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 BS website. Guns will not play Porsche Arena in Stuttgart. That is way too small for them. I will likely not visit a show next year if they don`t bring out a new music, somehow the thrill is gone. I am a huge fan of the reunion and I managed to see them all over the world. But this year was the first year I had the opportunity to see them and chose not to; I rather saw a Maiden show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
