Be quite good that eh?

Would Axl be singing for both bands? Thought the ac/dc guy was done

Given all that Robert Plant's been saying over the years about such ventures, I'd be very surprised if this happens. Happy to be proved otherwise though, especially if they play over here.

I read a response that JPJ is the one keeping the full reunion from happening. Apparently he doesn't get along great with the other guys, but P&P playing shows together would be a fantastic consolation.

CSNY would be good too but there's no way they could keep it together long enough to tour after the festival.

I think Brian Johnson got surgery or an implant or something to sort his ears out so I suppose he could play but I've just read that AC/DC is meant to be Axl, Angus and hired hands from now on. Probably pours water on this rumour as Rose couldn't sing two full sets in one night, I'm sure.

There's a Neil Young interview in the current Mojo - he doesn't rule out working with CSN again, despite his fall out with Crosby, who's now not speaking with Nash. I expect money will talk in the end...

Yeah it's quite fast paced the relationship between those guys. I hope reality tv execs see the potential and bring Keeping Up With Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to our screens soon.

I read that Brian Johnson felt like he had just been unceremoniously dumped when diagnosed, thanks for the last 30 years now bugger off, sort of thing, so I doubt even  if he could he wouldn't want to.

Jpj fell out with the other two ages ago when he didn't get asked to tour with them as the majority of the live set was Zeppelin stuff and they were using Percy's solo bassist. Don't think things have been same since but obviously they have played together since. 

After the O2 Page & Jones were very keen to carry it on, but Plant has always said, even before the gig, that it was a one-off. And I've read nothing he's said since which sounds anything like a change of heart from him. It's a shame for Jimmy as he seems to have very little interest in doing anything much outside of Zeppelin, a long overdue solo album keeps getting alluded to but never delivered.

Went to see GnR last week... immense gig! Started just 10 minutes late and smashed it out of the park for 2.5 hours. Axl was on great form vocally, I was a little surprised after what I'd been hearing about the last few tours. They'd absolutely own the farm with a pyramid headline set on this form. Perfect timing for them, shame it won't happen.

i cant bloody wait to see Guns at the Olympic stadium, hope its sunny so we can walk down the canal to get to the venue in the sun with a few ciders, its a decent venue they are quick to get you in and the sound was very good for ACDC.

I didn't no. I wouldn't go back to Slane for a Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Smiths reunion day with a free ticket.

Gig seemed to go well though. My brother went and liked it.

I was at the gig and it was bloody excellent! really enjoyed it and have not heard any complaints from people who have went.

They all looked really happy to be there and even Axl was smiling

I've been to Slane 3 times (Oasis, Foo's and GnR) this was the best one yet and GnR would be my least favourite out of all 3..

Will do. Hoping they play dont cry as a personal fave (morbid but want it at my funeral). Its been on the set list last few gigs so fingers crossed. Been giving Chinese democracy a listen to familiarise myself with the few they do from there. Bought the album when it came out and must have listened to it about twice.... think I just didn't want to like it because it wasn't the same band, its actually got some good stuff on it though.

Amazing, you won't be disappointed. Certainly no probs with axls voice and looked like they were having a good time on stage. Slash of course sublime.

Word of advice if standing and you're anywhere near the crush barrier be prepared for flying cups and beer (at least I hope that's what it was), and the crowd movement was for me a bit scary at times, had to take a girl under my wing who was having a panic attack at being battered around so much. I think my days of getting a good close viewing spot are numbered, too many numpties or I'm too old .

Good stuff, well I'm celebrating pre glasto weekend by getting trashed last night and even more trashed tonight.

 

To be fair I'm likely to be the archetype numpty tonight.

 

What time did they come on?

Thought they were brilliant, really enjoyed it!

I'd looked it up beforehand so knew when they should be on.
