A small, vocal minority or is it the type of people who go there? It is not that small, there's a lot of noise around the matter, though they are kind of right, I think is just Gen Z / Late Millenials trying to be woke.

Axl just hasn't got the vocal chops anymore to sound even remotely like what the general public remember him as, even arguably his best nights from 2022 were still a shadow of what general people remember Axl sounding and on TV there will be no hiding it with effects/layering. Why do you think they won't allow the streaming? Last year they streamed Rock In Rio 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even start to get your hopes, there's like a 0,5 % chance this gig will mean / change anything. It's either right before the tour starts or before the US leg, but I guess we all already sense how this will play out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of gnr somehow having their shit together I think you're right. Artic monkeys are still huge in the UK with all ages, but more relevant and they are generally on the money with their live show. Expecting some critiquing of Elton and Axls voices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if they need to offer an excuse for booking white male musicians! GNR has a female member right there on stage. Perhaps Melissa is not black enough for them and both Slash and Frank are not female enough to be counting as "worthy" by Glastonbury standards? Biggest pile of political bullshit ever coming a festival not poor of political bullshit. Axl should open with One In A Million and have Elton join in on piano - just because. What do they want at Glastonbury - good music or the "right" boxes ticked with a transgender gay black "person" performing communist anthems on a broomstick made of eco friendly unicorn ivory? God I hate fucking England. I'm utterly sick of this shit. It's like being a white male is now something to apologise for. Fuck right off. 52% of the artists are male - that's pretty fair in any world. And 46% of the artists/bands are or feature a non-white performer. Why are we even giving these stats credence? Book the best people. End of the matter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_0013 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 What they need to do is come out and play like they did in Dublin last summer - where Axl sounded as close to 93 as I’ve heard in a long time. Oh no wait - he blew his voice out right before London and Glasgow. And right after Glastonbury is……. Glasgow 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_rose Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 4 hours ago, allwaystired said: What makes you think it's just England that says this stuff? England is going progressively more right wing, so these views certainly aren't held by most people. They are held by the sort of people who traditionally go to these sorts of festivals though. Are you English? Just curious. Well, it comes with context - in this case the organiser, Emily Eavis, repeatedly saying in the last how important it is to have new acts headlining and female ones. Then she books all this, so it's understandable people are going to focus on that. England isn't going progressively more right wing. Not at all. The left is moving further and further away from the centre. It isn't enough to be accepting, you have to be some kind of activist not to be a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also....I don't know what it's like to be a woman, or a person that isn't white, so I can't really speak for their experiences and points of view. If they tell me they feel excluded or unrepresented then I'm not going to tell them their feelings are wrong, as I simply don't know. Thanks for being a voice of reason here. That some people here get so offended about Glastonbury wanting a line up that represents different groups in society shows that it's needed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm.....the last 12 years have seen increasingly right wing people being voted in, culminating in a man who made racist, homophobic and sexist comments. So I'd politely disagree. Here's hoping for a change at the next election though. Edited March 3, 2023 by allwaystired 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
©GnrPersia Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) LMAFO @ "all white all male headliners" Suppose I'm a company owner who looks to hire a specialist in something and there's no qualified black and or female for this occupation. Then am I accused of being a racist or homophobic? Now let's say there's 1 female/black out of 10 candidates for the job but she's not qualified or experienced enough or has a shitty personality compared to the 9 other white male candidates. Do I need to hire her just because of equality bullshit? What a clown world. Edited March 3, 2023 by ©GnrPersia 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm happy for them to be on a big stage and get media exposure, the thought of the critics and the reviews depresses me already. Also, it's frustrating to think that the younger generations that doesn't know GNR might be disappointed with their performance. I know I’m overthinking, but tbh I want them to kill it as a fan. I'm happy if this shitshow of a reunion gets a massive exposure once and forever and make Axl face the reality. Although deeply I wish he can prove me wrong. 3 hours ago, SilverMachine said: If I recall Guns did similar with Reading back in 2010. It happened in 2002.

Been living abroad most of life and no I don't need to protest to support my ethnicity or skin. Just integrate into society and get a real job and people will respect you instead of spending day and night campaigning about it. Honestly if no one would tell me about these "all male white men" lineup bullshit, I wouldn't even notice anything. If you're gay you're gay. No need to rally on the streets.
