Finally on TV in the UK and I'l be flying back from a friend's wedding in Greece instead. Still, knowing it's less than a week to go before Hyde Park more than softens the blow Finally back, although thanks to a delay, I was able to watch until halfway through Jungle. Anyone got a link to where I can catch up? I'm not seeing it on iPlayer and the BBC News stream I was watching has gone.

koldweather Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Btw that might be one of my favourite Slash intros I've ever heard. "On the guitar...see how this works...and on the guitar...AND ON THE FUCKING GUITAR...Slash." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabmmor Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Rock in Rio 2022 sound mixing was so much better that tonight's. Besides the problems with mic levels, I could barely hear Duff's bass on Pretty Tied Up intro and the drums sound was weird during the entire concert. Axl's performance was more consistent tonight tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitchisback Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Listening to the show now and the band sounds fantastic, Axl included. The reviews seem great too. Not sure how the rights and everything work but this seems like a great show to release on a blu ray. Outside of like one review it seems like mostly everything was mostly positive. Proud of the band for stepping onto one of the biggest stages and showing why they are one of the biggest rock bands going. Nice to hear the band live in good quality instead of someone's shitty cell phone recording too. Fuck all the haters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 See the BBC review saying the bands set had too much obscure music in it. Including Slither in that line up. I guess for a Glastonbury set, it is a little front loaded with less "greatest hits" stuff. I think it probably would have been a good idea to go into Jungle second and leave Bad obsession to the middle of the set, if at all. GNR just do not give a fuck🤣 "this is our set, like or lump it!" They don't mind the crowd dwindling. They probably should have brought out some of the fireworks too, although again... it's kinda cool that they forego the easy pop from the pyro. Just listening here. Jungle was not great you could barely hear him. But almost everything else so far is surprisingly decent. The mix is a little wonky too, Duff and Melissa do a lot of backing vocals and they can barely be heard. Same for the piano Slash really cocked up the Estranged solo🤣 Axl sounded pretty great on the outro of Estranged. Rocket Queen vocals... verses he was struggling, but he pulled the old Axl out of the bag for that outro Reckless life, Patience, Knocking on heavens (it was actually enjoyable🤣) were the most consistent songs vocally of the night by a country mile. There were other songs in there that were decent too, and some that were on the not so great. What I did like was that there was fuck all down time, they were lorrying into songs, so the energy didn't drop to badly 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalavenger99 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Wow i knew this Glasto thing had that stupid hippie connotation but i didn't knew it represented that far end of the spectrum... maybe that's why (as some people said here) nobody gives a shit about this in America.... and don't even bother reading any reviews, there are some very angry cunts ranting about how shameful it is that they got the most macho heavy rock act possible to headline their precious Glastonbury, i just read one where they called Slash a plumber? and also that Axl sounded like a lawnmower or something 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to hear the band live in good quality instead of someone's shitty cell phone recording too. Fuck all the haters. It would need to be remixed and edited to bring Axls voice right up front before it could be released as a blu-ray.... but the biggest hurdle to that is that this was boradcast live, everybody already has it so nobody is going out to buy this besides completists. I think there's a better show for a blue ray, but if they ever get around to releasing a live best of from the current line up, then there's a performance or tow here that wouldn't be completely out of place. The crowd singing SCOM was electrifying, have to say and even Axl sounded better than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Graeme Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2023 I haven't posted in this part of the forum for a very long time. I just don't feel like I have much to say. My connection to the band more-or-less died years ago. I still love music, and nowadays I listen to so many different artists and genres, but the way I loved Guns N' Roses when I was a teenager was different, it was so intense. I basically lived on this forum, I travelled to other countries on my own to see them, they were a huge part of my identity, when people criticised them, I felt it personally. For various reasons, I feel pretty distant from GN'R these days, but that stream tonight reminded me a little of what it felt like when they were the coolest and most important band in the world for me. I think they did themselves proud and I'm glad they're doing well. 12 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking hell. It's on the bloody Greatest Hits and they've played it every night for decades! 'Massive fan'. Sure. .

I believe GnR has three people of color in the current band. Odd take. The moment GNR was announced as a headlining act, they were criticised. People had already made their minds up about them with no regard for the facts or their actual performance. GNR was fighting an uphill battle, and all things considered, they did well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) I can see why casuals don’t dig his voice. It isn’t what it used to be. He’s 60 and singing very demanding music. 2016 was an (awesome) Indian summer. I’m glad he seems to have found some more use of his lower register and that he can still nail some screams and higher parts. We’re all used to his current voice so we can tell when he tries more. Works for me Edited June 25, 2023 by ZoSoRose 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
