Just a jog up the highway from the venue. I'm a Sacramento native, and figured they'd use other iconography, but Johnny Cash is fun. 3 minutes ago, Gordon Comstock said: It's this picture, taken at Folsom prison which is like 20 miles from Sacramento. I appreciate you all! I'm not very knowledgeable on him, but just watched Walk the Line the other week with my girlfriend, so I do understand the reference now. What weird timing. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I read that too They were late at Power Trip and now they were late for this one, too. At Power Trip Maiden were 15-20 minutes late (Bruce Dickinson said due to traffic, I think), so that pushed GN'R's set and then they were an additional 15-20 minute late themselves. AC/DC also started about 20 minutes late the next day (but the media emphasized on GN'R's lateness because of history, lol.) Maybe there were similar issues at this one.

Yeah festival dates are a bit out of control, if a few bands go over time and are slow breaking down the set/setting it up then it all messes with the schedule if the state manager is just letting things fly. But yeah the emphasis is always on gnr despite a 7 year clean slate Edited October 9, 2023 by Tom2112 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah the emphasis is always on gnr despite a 7 year clean slate It doesn't seem that there was a stage turnover issue for this one, because from what I saw there were four different stages and the band that played before GN'R on the same stage (Rancid) had finished their set around 6:30 pm. GN'R were scheduled to start at 7:25 and they took the stage at 8:00. Unlike with Maiden at Power Trip, Rancid doesn't have a fancy stage setup, so an hour should have sufficed for GN'R to set things up. There are many negative comments about GN'R on the festival's facebook page - actually there are only negative comments. GN'R's delay has been blown out of proportion (they're saying that all the other bands were on time, and GN'R were over an hour late sopeople left because they were tired of waiting etc.). People talking shit on social media about whatever is nothing new and there's the GN'R past record bias. But I also think that delays are felt more at festivals, because people have been there for hours and are already exhausted when at the time of the headliner's set. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that Maiden weren't on time, there were plenty of fans still trying to get into the venue by the time they were scheduled due to the traffic caused by AWFUL road blocks and traffic control measures, so they decided to give people more time (including myself) to get into the grounds thankfully. The hate against Guns for it was unanimous sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hate against Guns for it was unanimous sadly. Even if Maiden's start wasn't delayed though, there's absolutely no way they slotted in enough time to change over from Maiden's stage set to GN'R's - I think it looked to be about 40-45 mins? Either way absolutely not enough time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way absolutely not enough time. Of course the stage change has to be factored in too...The curfew was 1am and they managed a full set list so that's a success all things considered. There shouldn't be too many complaints with regards to that, but we all know the story with GNR by now. What did you think of AC/DC??
