jparx Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Maybe I’ve just been following them more closely in recent years and more familiar with their usual performances, but I think Axl sounded genuinely pretty good by his recent standards. He was far from awful from what I saw on TV but maybe it’s just expectations going in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 From the perspective of front centre in the pit they sounded f**king great. Jesus f**king Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolygonWindow Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Had an amazing time watching GnR. 10x better than Monkeys. Axl seems a cool guy nowadays too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Just found this in my Facebook feed, from someone who used to work at glasto [quote]Is he “singing” a different song to what the band are playing? It’s a shrieky, out of tune, shambolic mess. [/quote] Edited June 25, 2023 by Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamingofsunnydays Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Was in the pit. They smashed it and Axl sounded bloody brilliant! Was worried his voice wasn’t going to, but wow!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mungo57 Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Front third of the crowd - sounded excellent from where I stood including Axl. Sound was perfect. Slash was excellent. 2.5h flew by and Axl wasn’t a c**t so we all win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrainertje Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Good to see everyone lowering their standard for this one. It's not completely garbage, Slash can still play his guitar probably so it's good! How some people consider Axl's performance as passable is beyond me.

she bangs the drums Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 I loved it, fantastic stuff. Axl voice went as the gig went on, though Slash made up for this. I was stood down the front on left hand side near Water Aid tent and was similar size to Metallica and Kendrick Lamar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked from Leftfield. Lana's crowd was very big, but not as big as the Hives got... but the sea of people from the pyrsmid was incredible. Never seen anything like it during an act. I walked into the pit with ease. That was at about 10 to 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeph1995 Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 GnR were genuinely great, I went in with no expectation and was pleasantly surprised. Slash still absolutely has it and Axl at times sounded alright, he clearly lost his pipes but at least he isn't Alex Turner and the monkeys who just phone it in and f**k off.
