If Angus comes out with GnR hopefully that would lead to conversations starting between AC/DC and the festival for a future appearance (assuming they’re gonna tour again - can’t remember where we’re at with that?)

That's my hope too.

They're playing Power Trip in the autumn.  Looks like a one off for now, but I assume a tour in 2024 must be on the cards.

[Gnomicide]

Setlist back up to 33 songs last night. Tour debuts for Locomotive, Shadow of Your Love and There Was A Time.

My Michelle nowhere to be seen again and no Acca Dacca songs soundchecked 😔

Avg tour length now 3hrs 10mins so a fair bit to cut out for Glastonbury.

 

[Mr. B]

Sad they've dropped 'Better'

[CaledonianGonzo]

Stop debuting new songs you c**ts. I've just got used to your last setlist.

I imagine most of these new/interchanging songs are the ones that are gonna get cut for Glastonbury so you should be good. 

[Xeph1995]

If your doing 33 songs are the whole of appetite isn't in them what are you doing guys.

Saving that for the Appetite for Destruction 40th Anniversary tour in four years.

Brian Johnson came on with Sam Fender last night, his vocal chop have dramatically decreased since I last saw ACDC in 2015

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah - I saw.  Assume he's fairly rusty. Hopefully back to form if they mount a proper tour.

Yeah this. Although Bad Obsession is very welcome, being one of my favourite Stones tribute songs

[CaledonianGonzo]

Its composer was probably not unfamiliar with Tumbling Dice.

[Gnomicide]

Another 32 song 3hr+ set. 2 debut songs from Chinese Democracy, one as the first song in the encore (surely no-one wants that). Anything Goes no firmly entrenched.

More likely to get a Brian with Churnups I'd say...

[HotChipWillBreakYourLegs]

Say what you want about GnR, but the ability to bang out 32 songs in over 3 hours, and still be debuting new stuff, is nothing short of amazing.

[Gnomicide]

Reduced set at a festival last night, still 3 hours but perhaps a pointer at what we'll see trimmed. 

Wildcard Acca Dacca tune thrown in, one of my favourites but I'm unsure how well it's known.

Lack of Don't Cry seems odd.

[giantkatestacks]

You see I would say that I know a lot more GNR than the average punter having seen them at 16 in their heyday etc etc but theres areas of that set I'm going to struggle. Just shows how spoilt I am by headers like Macca where you know every number.

I was lucky enough to see them in Abu Dhabi - set list was massive, nearly 3.5 hours of tracks. At Glasto they are going to absolutely destroy it, and more. Wish I was there. Enjoy the festival everyone.

He sounded good enough. I was impressed with how the band kept the energy going for that amount of time. Graphics were good as well.

Good setlist but probably a good thing they’ll have to trim a bit more for Glastonbury. Takes half an hour just to get to WTTJungle.

[crumbler]

I think Appetite For Destruction is one of the greatest hard rock albums of all time but three hours of GNR is just way too long for anybody who isn't a diehard. You could probably get all their actual tunes out of the way in less than 90 minutes. 

Edited June 21, 2023 by crumbler

[CardiffWanderer]

Totally agree. Appetite is also their only really good album. I'd be delighted to hear everything off that, plus the maybe 10-12 really good songs/covers from the Use Your Illusion albums, Patience, and one song off Chinese Democracy just to keep Axl happy. 

[matrainertje]

Guns n Roses ware horrendous at Graspop apparently, getting bad reviews from pretty much everyone. A look at the social media of the festival says enough (combined with alle the 1-2 star reviews).

Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places but I googled reviews and had a look at their socials and can’t see anything like this?
