Glastonbury 2023

Sorry mate you’ve lost me?

Sorry mate - would have been a lot easier to type Rory Gallagher.

Listened to an interview where Slash was talking about his musical influences and I can't remember whether it was one of his studio albums (Deuce etc) or Irish Tour but it apparently blew his socks off.

Around the similar time also saw Johnny Marr speaking about Rory and sighted the same thing. Listening to one of his albums completely changed the way he approached the guitar (which I'd never really heard in Marr's playing before).

He was also playing Rory's strat (the one in the picture I attached).........

You never watched Terminator 2?

You could be mine?

Mr Brownstone
Night train
Civil War
Don't Cry
Live and let Die

That is me done though

A GnR song!?!

Heathen........... ;-)

For all of the GNR legend stuff, they really dont have the back catalogue to keep a festival headline crowd going for that long a slot.

Probably the worst take I've ever seen on this forum.

Waiting for Depeche Mode to finally stop their Glastonbury spat and agree to do a set. Just one. Doesn't have to a headline, could be legend, just get it done. Top band live.

They should have had an afternoon 'legends' spot. Their status as 'headliners' ended many, many years ago.
Rick Astley's midday performance was more worthy of a headline spot than a half-hearted GnR set.
To be honest, Lizzo would have been a better headline act.

Boooooooo. :)


I thought they were excellent.

To each their own, I just couldn't enjoy Guns R Roses at all. The Pretenders on the Park Stage were much better than them and the crowd for the headliner in comparison didn't seem all that excited for a metal band.

Foo Fighters still winning the weekend for me as it stands.

Am actually complementing the Beeb on something and thats how well they are covering the other stages, and not just the Pyramid Stage, as well as on the iPlayer you can virtually walk from one stage to another (or switch over).

Queens of the Stone Age will be a good one.

Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone age never got the love in.
Saw some of the Foo Fighters the other day switched off.
Makes me wonder if us old 70's and early 80's rock fans think the same.

Why, their catalogue is fine for their fans but for a festival crowd not made up of solely their fans , its correct.
They only made 6 studio albums, one of covers and Chinese Democracy which was fucking shit

They would be brilliant

Caught a bit last night.

Astley doing the Smiths was brilliant
Manics very good
Kelis excellent
Monkeys were pretty good and their drummer is just fucking mustard.

I quite like their energy. Queens are different live, but still good.
