This year’s trio of past it legacy acts doesn’t compare well to 2013 at all. 2014 though yes absolutely diabolical, even before the Win Butler stuff . This is the biggest trio they've ever had. You're kidding yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efcfanwirral Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Hopefully Park or John Peel have something for me. Maybe even the Other. Looking forward to seeing the alternatives. Is the consensus that AM are Friday due to tour dates so GnR Saturday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Will concur with the belief that there's been few bigger trios than an Arctic Monkeys/Guns 'n' Roses/Elton John combo. (The 2016 run of Muse/Adele/Coldplay and 2017 run of Radiohead/Foo Fighters/Ed Sheeran certainly springs to mind.) It's three stadium acts effectively, or at the very least three who have played stadiums in the eighteen months surrounding their Glastonbury appearance. But I concur Guns 'n' Roses feels a strange booking. I'm all for Glastonbury embracing hard rock and heavy metal options atop the bill, and there are only a few who could feasibly hold a candle in size to go alongside the appeal of the other two. But still, there is something a little... odd about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR released 2 singles last year. I assume they're dogshit, but so is basically everything released by those acts in the last 20+ years. I assume. I haven't listened to them. Like 99% of people who know songs by them. People just want the hits. No-one gives a fuck about new material. And GNR have plenty of hits.

(Not saying they shouldn't, just that's why it feels weird) The fact that gender balance is now a key consideration and a significant topic of discussion is a positive step forward. So it feels like a weird trio because that's where (most of) our heads are (rightly) at these days. Ensuring that balance will undoubtedly be on GFL's mind, certainly on Emily's. Pulling that off with who's available is a challenge. I'm sure Emily will address it publicly over the coming months once the lineup really takes shape, in fact she's probably got something already mapped out.

she bangs the drums Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Slash was fantastic last time he played in 2010 and my 10 year old daughter at that time is caught singing on camera 55 seconds in! Imagine what it is going to be like with 60,000 watching and the full band. I cannot wait 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
