#151 Re: Guns N' Roses » If GNR releases nothing in 2023, is this the end for you? » 159 weeks ago
Reviews seem generally positive:
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/ … amid-stage
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-66011512
Broadly speaking the tone seems to be: "Axl's voice isn't what it used to be, but he fully commits, running around like a mad thing and sometimes manages to pull off the classic screams, Slash is iconic, an impressively long set but for the casuals in Glastonbury maybe they should've left some of the deep cuts on the shelf."
Lana Del Rey actually did GN'R a massive favour by turning up late to her slot and having her set cut short, because it means that all the reviewers are "pleasantly surprised" that GN'R showed up on time, because it's apparently news to them despite the band having been religiously punctual since fucking 2016.

At that level of the industry I'd imagine that there is a degree of specialisation, yeah. Though IIRC Caram Constanzo works on both live and in-studio material, so who knows?

Dave Grohl and the Foos are at Glasto by the looks of it. Could see him coming up to jam Paradise City again.
Dave Grohl at Glastonbury right now

I do find it very odd that we're getting all these songs piecemeal and not as an album. Though I suppose it's in keeping with GN'R's previous approach ahead of the Illusions – just random drops of individual songs like Civil War and KOHD on soundtracks and charity albums.

@Sp1at is this guest that you talked about still in plans for Glastonbury?
Thanks in advance
I wonder who it could be. Elton John's playing Glasto, so maybe they could bring him out for November Rain.

My routine these days:
<check setlist.fm>
<have they played Perhaps yet?>
<no>

The title track at HOB is incredible...short, sweet, and to the point.
I was fully onboard his "vision" after hearing that.
Fast forward 7 years...and listen to the album version.
Cluster fuck.
I always hated the intro from the title track that appeared on the album. It just seemed so pointless.
I like it on the album, but leaving it on the single version was madness – no radio station was going to play all that build-up. They should've cut a single edit that just opened with some guitar feedback and straight into the chords.

I actually bought the whole walking papers album and didn’t make it through the first song. He’s a great supporting musician though.
I fucking love Walking Papers. The first song on the first album probably isn't the best introduction to them, though. Try this on for size:

Here you go https://we.tl/t-OzIjChZHa2
Oh damn, that sounds sick. Wish they'd hurry up and release/perform it for real…

Glastonbury is a total lottery when it comes to tickets. People won't know who the headliner will be when they 'apply' for tickets.
So I think a new song will have less impact at Glastonbury. As will 'deep cuts' such as COMA
They will have to bring their a-game though, if Axl can do rasp this is the time to turn it on. Also limit covers outside of LALD and KOHD.Save the new song for Hyde Park, which selfishly I will get to enjoy with a beer in my hand in the gold circle!
lol, I'll see you there...
