The band have really been covering for Axl this evening.

Voice gone.

Highlight today for me has to be The War on Drugs on the other stage this evening. Saw them at the Piece Hall Halifax earlier in the week. Brilliant band.

Watching Fred again over coffee. Not my bag really but will have a listen to see what all the fuss is about

 

[Stoned Rose]

Agadoo incoming

The kid from Leipzig?

Not heard him mentioned anywhere.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Watched the pretenders. Christie Hyndes still rocking at 71 and backed by special guests Jonny Marr and at one point David Grohl on drums. Fantastic.

Seen her/The Pretenders several times down the years. Absolute class, never disappoints. Rock and roll royalty.

So in a couple of years when there are no "iconic" bands still out there plying there trade who will take the Headliner slots ? By the very use of the word Headliner it infers that the band/act is above the mainstream, and have reached a level that even if your not a fan of the band/act you would watch them because it's an event , that crowd at GnR didnt really care that Axl can't sing anymore, it was a chance to see an iconic band in the flesh, Slash with a Gibson slung low against a dark sky with his customary hat, is an iconic image, who out of the new generation can match that ?
