I'm convinced this is going to go down as one of the all time worst headlining shows

its terrible with proper white man's rhythm to the solo.

What's the situ with G'N'R rolling on stage an hour late as has been the case on previous occasions? I'm assuming (rightly/wrongly) that they'll have their set cut by an hour? Or, would Glastonbury schedule it to allow a time buffer to cater for the fact of potential time issues?

Word is they've been a lot better since reforming, you'd think the festival will warn Axl that any nonsense will not be tolerated.

Heard they plan to have Peter Kay waiting backstage and if they're more than 15 minutes late he'll go on and headline instead.

Won't be quite as funny though.

they'll probably tell axl that any licencing fine will be deducted from the band's fee.

That punch line doesn't quite work using Peter Kay, I'm assuming that you're suggesting GNR will be at least some amount of funny?

Spinning Appetite For Destruction for the first time in years right now.

I've never heard of The Spaghetti Incident?, so I'll start there.  Might be good reason for that not being on the tip of people's tongues...

Appetite and Use Your Illusion are the only ones you need.

90% of the setlist will be from them.

Yeah - I'll be looking at setlists nearer the time - if you're not right then I'm not interested!

They really haven't done much beyond those two albums, have they

Ah, right. Well, I won't be watching them (although one of my pals will probably want to take a peek so I might get dragged along for a bit). I'm sure that there will be something else spectacular going off around the site. They played Leeds Festival in 2002, I didn't bother watching them then either, not a fan......

Not really, nobody is clamouring for Chinese Democracy material.

Song #3 'Down on the Farm', this is promising.  He even seems to be trying some sort of strange british (maybe cockney) accent.

I was at that Leeds.

Prodigy finished and me and my mates had little interest in seeing GnR so we went to watch The Streets in a tent. Came back out after they had finished and we could see GnR walking out onto the stage in the distance, we figured we'd go and check out what we assumed was their encore... turns out they were only just coming on!

I take it you know it's a covers album?

Haha, was thinking it sounded familiar.  Not their version but that song's title.  Still, if they're going to do some covers in June then why not...

This seems to be one of their earliest albums - did they start as a pub covers band or something?

It's their last studio album before they split. They started doing original stuff plus a few covers thrown in.

All this about GnR being late - I think that tends to be their own headline shows MORESO than fests. I've seen them at Download 2006 (10 mins early) and when I saw them in 2017 I think they were on time or possibly slightly early.

 

They tend to play 3 hours or thereabouts, but as people say they do a lot of guitar solos etc in between songs - I'd think they'll get 21:15/30-23:45 with a view to going 15 mins over. I think the license is stop by midnight if I'm not wrong hence the 15 min buffer. They can easily cut the set down by losing a solo in between songs or taking a longer song out of the setlist for 1 night. 

I for one can't wait to see them on the Pyramid, Slash is my favourite guitarist and I missed him STUPIDLY on Pyramid to go and watch the fucking football in 2010 so I'm after my redemption!

Guns N’ Roses Concert Setlist at Eden Park, Auckland on December 10, 2022 | setlist.fm

In fairness, I'd be all over this.  Even the covers and doubtless 15 minute noodly solo.

Needs a bit of pruning, and I can’t imagine any way that them doing Wichita Lineman isn’t terrible, but that’s a tempting setlist.

I actually really like the title track from Chinese Democracy.

Do they still play Slither?

Have been on the current tour.  And why not, probably the best thing Slash ever wrote.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
