This will be the first time they play in proper darkness in the uk in over ten years and the first time since the reunion. 

 

Interesting point you make about darkness. Saw them at the Olympic Stadium (2017?) where they started around 6.45pm or so - I actually missed the first few songs. Great gig but an absence of light (it was a glorious day too) would have made the setting better

Are they a certainty now?

looks like it.

Anyone got any recent YouTube of them onstage so I can decide whether or not to go?

Don’t bother. Axls voice is shot

Maybe they’ll sub like Adele should have in 2016 and someone else can play after?

Have you any recent videos of Bob doing this either then?

The biggest crime of Guns N Roses’ live set is having one of the best ass kicker album/set opener songs of all time at their disposal and them deciding to play it fifth. It’s So Easy rips, but c’mon…

His voice is definitely shot - but otherwise that looks pretty amazing - ignore the voice and we can all singalong, my voice'll be fairly shot by Saturday evening too

In the pit you won't notice

He was suffering with some sort of illness here and they had to cut their set down from the usual 3 hours just so they could perform at all. Why the official YouTube channel decided to post it is beyond me, but it’s not the best example of where his voice is at these days, although that obviously won’t stop it being posted every week from now until the festival.

Great to hear - I mean the band around him are solid, they have some amazing songs in their set (yes, some are covers, but they've made some of them their own) - and if his voice is better that's a bonus.  Might be able to stroll into the pit if that video keeps getting shared though. 

If there are lots of tickets handed back based on people not liking this then that's great for Elton & GnR fanatics that'll actually want to see them at Glastonbury.

Aye. More recent stuff, while still not great, is better.

His voice is shot but I don't mind as we will all be singing. What worried me more was the disconnect between lead guitar and drums. Sounded off at times as if Slash wasnt quite keeping time properly.

True, but this isn't happening. Just copium for the haters.

[Nicklord]

80% of his voice is completely shot. He can still sing low and he can still scream very well so Welcome to the Jungle scream is still going to be there

He sounds awful 😖 

Still I'll be down the SE corner early with plenty of room to dance and will leave the M&S quiche brigade to enjoy it.

Right Next Door To Hell. It's there on a plate to start the show, pure bassline sexiness.

When I saw them in 91 they opened with Perfect Crime and that worked well, then into Mr Brownstone, crowd swell like nothing I'd experienced before - feckin terrifying

Always wanted to see them play right next door…… 

I kinda like it’s so easy as the opener but I agree with others, Welcome to the Jungle was written to be a set opener surely🤔

I've given Appetite for Destruction and November Rain a run out today and can confirm I'm all over this (clashes depending).

[CaledonianGonzo]

Same. It's not going to be a classic, but then that's true of loads of headline sets and it doesn't mean it can't be a lot of fun.

If they clash with Prodigy I will cry for weeks. 
 

100% they will.
