Just watched back some of the stuff on i player, watching the more rocky stuff which is my 'thing',(and not normally a 'Glasto' thing in past years )
Foo Fighters are always put on a quality show and Dave Grohl is probably the ultimate front man and a such decent dude to throw in to the mix. Royal Blood are a top live band, (very good at the MEN last year) like that Radio 1 thing, Glastonbury isn't really their' target audience', but at least they didn't upset any 13 year old girls this time!
Got to say I was a bit dubious about Guns N' Roses. Fantastic at Donington in 88 .They really were something special that day, the energy, the attitude (though obviously that day will sadly be remembered for the 2 people who died).
Thought they did okay, maybe not to everyone's taste admittedly and Axl has pissed a lot of people off over the years. Even though his voice seemed a bit 'strained' at times, some of those tunes still sound fucking brilliant all these years on, and Slash has certainly still got it!
Best 'surprise act' for me was Nova Twins. Although I've heard of them, don't know too much about them. To me live they sounded a little like a bit of a mash up of RATM, The Prodigy and Skunk Anansie with a bit of rap thrown into the mix. Have to check out more of them as there is so little Rock music (or any music really for that matter) that really grabs my attention these days.
