CaledonianGonzo Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 If anything they ramped it up. The silent majority with skullets and battle jackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual, corners on eFests and Twitter aren't representative of the whole crowd. It's gonna be great though, really looking forward to GnR now!

FloorFiller Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Although I’d hardly consider them a ‘must see/box ticker’ or whatever for myself, goddamn am I gutted I’m not gonna be there at the front rocking out to this and will only get the TV version where the imperfections of Axl’s voice etc are thrust to the forefront.

MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Just checking setlist.fm, their avg setlist is 3 hours long. That's fucking long. Not even Macca did three hours did he? How long do they usually play when they headline a festival? Their Download set also looks long but I can't find any times anywhere for it.

Surely, they're going to have to cut out a lot of songs to play Glasto. According to the clashfinder from that year they got 3 and a half hours at Download, which seems absolutely mental. Not sure if they actually played for that - maybe some time added to account for Axl being late? - but they won’t get close to that at Glastonbury. 2 hours fifteen seems more realistic meaning they’ll have to cut out a lot of the lesser known stuff, and the set will undoubtedly be all the better for it.

MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 I hadn't thought to check that. It looks absolutely ridiculous. They took up a third of the entire schedule for that stage. I mean at Glasto that's just not gonna happen. I thought even 2 hours would be long. Don't know how my bladder is gonna hold up if they play longer than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolbot Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 What their 2023 setlist is looking like.

Considering his voice is a bit hit and miss, I'm surprised Axl wants to do such long shows. Still, they'll obv play the hits, so cutting some stuff out for the avg fan will be easy. Can't wait to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubenz Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Was pretty keen to see GnR but having watched a bit of this I have to say it sounds pretty ropey to say the least!

I’m not gonna defend his voice - it does sound ropey as f**k for most of it - but the vocals are also isolated in such a way that they sound especially bad, and even Slash’s guitar noodling sounds a bit shite for a lot of this when we know he’s an excellent guitar player. Think it’ll be an absolute hoot for those attending, a proper rock show that’s been sorely missed from the Pyramid for some time, but pretty interested to see how it comes across on the BBC broadcast and I’m anticipating it being a bit of a laughing stock to be totally honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a nice tribute to him and some good memories attached to those songs but worried it could be a bit of a mess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circus92 Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) F**k that is grim - very hard to listen to ... and Axl is hard to watch as well. Check out Mr Brownstone near the start - cringing 😲 Was gonna give them a go, but think that just done it now for me.

That would be more a problem on the Pyramid than the voice. Hope it’s just that video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeph1995 Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) I don't think the videos do it justice tbh. Being in the crowd singing along with a nice buzz it probably would be quite fun. Edited June 1, 2023 by Xeph1995 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
