Glastonbury 2023

[Sheedyclaret]

Awful headline set totally washed up his voice has gone

[yTib]

seriously, the sound engineers tonight have not done anyone any favours.

[longsider66]

GnR absolutely nailing it

[dougcollins]

seriously, the sound engineers tonight have not done anyone any favours.

I think they're doing what they can with Axl Rose but there ain't a lot to work with.

Guitars sound amazing.

[Swizzlestick]

Ah man, the music video for November Rain - proper rock and roll excess, cost an absolute fortune, very of its time. Utterly ridiculous but amazing.

His voice has gone off too much in these latter tracks and too noticeable on the slower, quieter numbers.

[Sheedyclaret]

Slash amazing vocals are awful

[helmclaret]

Switch over the Lana Del Rey if you want to hear a stunning vocal arrangement

[Bordeauxclaret]

I think the volume on the guitars are up for a reason

[Somethingfishy]

Lana Del Rey for me now. GnR a let down. His voice has gone.

This girl can sing and she's a looker too.

[JanetM]

astley getting away with murder now.

but in an okay way.

Really enjoyed this even though I didn't expect too!

[yTib]

Lana Del Rey for me now. GnR a let down. His voice has gone.

though i'm curious i couldn't in all good conscience turn off a rock band for some girlpop.

[helmclaret]

Girlpop? Bit of a strange comment

[Darthlaw]

An aged and weathered Axl Rose more held his own against the Psychic Flunkeys frontman last night. Anyone preferring girl pop over rock royalty (as has been mentioned above) is more than welcome to it.

This has been a great performance.

Lizzo will be sobbing into her cheesecakes listening to a crowd go properly mental.

[Somethingfishy]

Maybe..just maybe I have a more eclectic taste? Hardly girlpop. It's certainly quirky but it's not what I'd call pop but you can't deny she has a fantastic and unique voice. Makes for a better performance than that just given by Axl.

[yTib]

apologies. just watched some vids of her on youtube and not girlpop.

dirgepop.

[helmclaret]

You clearly know nothing about her but good attempt at a wind up

I like GnR and LDR but that’s not allowed apparently

[yTib]

i could say the same

[yTib]

I like GnR and LDR but that’s not allowed apparently

i'm not the boss of you. don't be so precious.

[Darthlaw]

It’s allowed and (if you want to watch it live) unfortunately you have to make a choice.

GnR for me all the way and maybe one day if LDR has the similar longevity and cultural impact GnR have, I’ll be choosing to watch her over someone else in the future.

No point arguing which is better to you individually, more than arguing your favourite flavour of crisps is wrong

[yTib]

worcester sauce.

[Darthlaw]

worcester sauce.

Wrong

[yTib]

Wrong

worcester sauce mister and I'LL SHOVE YOUR SMOKEY BACON UP YOUR ARSE!!

[CoolClaret]

Axl has gotten better as he’s gone on tbh

They’ve been great for the past 30 mins

[Lancasterclaret]

I like Lana del Rey a lot, but I'm a huge GnR fan and have been for years and this is rolling back the years

[yTib]

Axl has gotten better as he’s gone on tbh

yeah but he's gone into joe biden mode at the piano.

tbf the amount of drugs he's probably had would be enough to kill australia.

[Claret Till I Die]

'Kin legends. A 61 year bloke with a unique voice has left nothing on that stage tonight.

Only wish I'd been there to see them again

[Darthlaw]

Unless you can get me a discontinued Nobbys Chicken Balti, I’m not listening,

(Fingers in ears) la la la la la

[karatekid]

Over 2 hours of rock and in his sixties. Done pretty well imo.

[Lancasterclaret]

Aldi Lentil BBQs flavour are pretty good it has to be said

[karatekid]

Even slash is dribbling

[Sheedyclaret]

Like a drunk dad at karaoke this

I don't like either band, but to suggest AR is on par with whoever the singer for Arctic Monkeys is is beyond embarrassing. On a technical level (and delivery) the AM guy smashes this current AR back into 1982, it's not even remotely close. FFS

[yTib]

(Fingers in ears) la la la la la

not a real flavour.

(fingers in ears)

AND LENTILS!?

[Darthlaw]

The most left crisps available, Lancs?

(And yes, I’m joking)

[Somethingfishy]

I like both GnR and LDR. I've made the choice to watch LDR simply because either the sound engineers have f***** up or Axl has lost it.

No problems with the sound quality on LDRs stage.

[yTib]

seriously, slash might not be the most varied guitarist..but he's bloody good at what he does.

[Swizzlestick]

Like Lana Del Rey but find a lot of her songs very samey. The breathy vocals do start to drag. Some really good songs though particularly Arcadia, Born to Die, A&W, Video Games.

Got to change my diet a bit sadly

No more cheese, a lot healthier, which is a bit of a bummer as I eat really well, very rarely drink, don't smoke, climb mountains and cycle a lot

In years to come…

The world will remember Axl Rose and his voice.

They’ll ask you who Alex Turner is, and look puzzled when you explain he changed to being a Vic Reeves working men’s club performer mid career.

Embarrassing to suggest otherwise.

[yTib]

holy crap axl is a 7 or 8 whistler.

(i'm 11)

Age hits us all and I fully feel your pain. Don’t tell anyone but I like em too

lancs if i had to give up cheese i'd throw myself down cheddar gorge.

I can only assume you've been on the pop all day Darth.

[yTib]

btw i'm 45 and have almost singing detective levels of psoriatic arthritis. or at least i did before starting this new drug.

[Lancasterclaret]

i have to admit to listening to the AM set again while I was waiting for GnR, and it sounded a lot better 2nd time around

[helmclaret]

I like both GnR and LDR. I've made the choice to watch LDR simply because either the sound engineers have f***** up or Axl has lost it.

No problems with the sound quality on LDRs stage.

Sounds brilliant. Great band and backing vocals too.

[yTib]

i thought it was better too the second time around. more old than new.

[Darthlaw]

I can only assume you've been on the pop all day Darth.

Or you’ve been on the herb, seen as it’s legal over there.

In fairness, you couldn’t even name Alex Turner, whilst knowing who Axl Rose is, so I’m guessing you’re just being argumentative for the hell of it.

[yTib]

having heard and seen both sets (albeit from my living room) i'd have so say guns have edged it.

not so much axl but the band are true masters.
