snoochie1981 Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 This has possibly been said already but I wonder whether the original line up was AM / GNR / Taylor. Taylor then drops out to do her own tour and Elton steps up and moves his Paris dates so that he can replace Taylor. This seems to fit with the timing of Emily name dropping GNR, Elton moving his Paris dates, Emily mentioning that Taylor will be playing next time she tours ie 2024 and some on here hearing it is either Taylor or Elton for the third slot.

mungo57 Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 surely them playing BST the following week rules them out? I wouldn't have thought they'd announce Glasto then do a show they need to shift tix for a week later. Either that, or they won't announce Glasto for a while.

I dont think Rock Werchter would ever book Guns n Roses in 2023. 😄 They will probably play Graspop in Belgium, a metal festival used to old retro rock bands. Mad Cool just books every big band they can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklord Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Neil, did one of the GnR members piss in your beer in the 90s or something lol I don't really like GnR (especially the "reunion" tour that's been going on for years and years) but damn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

she bangs the drums Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 I saw Guns n Roses for the first time last year at Tottenham Stadium and the sound was absolutely dog shit so it was hard to tell whether his voice was good or not, though he was struggling with it. From what i could make out, the band sounded decent. The night after Axl voice went, and then they cancelled dates so i would not take videos posted around July 2023 as a true reflection as where he is currently at.

It's pretty common for GF and BST to share a headliner. Big acts often do Hyde Park afterwards to make up some of the cash they don't make on the GF show.

The Who in 2015 Arcade Fire in 2014 Stones in 2013 Springsteen and Neil Young in '09 The likes of the Stones and Bruce will sell out wherever they play, but many acts would dilute their own sales if they also did festivals on the same tour as a big gig.

I'm all for GnR at Glasto, I had a mate see them at Spurs last year and said it was amazing - I myself saw them at West Ham and it was amazing back in 2015/16 whenever it was.
