I’d love a Gn’R Glastonbury t shirt.

I walked from Leftfield. Lana's crowd was very big, but not as big as the Hives got... but the sea of people from the pyrsmid was incredible. Never seen anything like it during an act. 

I walked into the pit with ease. That was at about 10 to 11. 

Don't have to try hard to find a bigger crowd, the crowd was bigger at the foo's yesterday.

I don't think the performance was bad, I just think GnR are sh*t, outside the three big hits their songs are awful. Wtf even was that one about being tied up, terrible stuff and happy for that kind of music to be resigned to the bin

[FuzzyDunlop]

I enjoyed GnR for the hour I was there

Thought they were really good, you could tell they actually wanted to be there unlike the artics, massively regret giving up Fred again to get to the front for that. Was crazy easy to get into the pit after Lizzo finished. Did get a cool picture of slash, he was on top form and carried the set but was some good old fashioned rock. Each to there own though, was bored during lizzo but most will love her. That why we like the festival, it’s diverse, if it just goes pop for everything we lose that.

I admire the quirk of going straight from Lizzo to Guns N Roses. A bit more of a leap from Royal Blood to AM, non?

Listening back on Sounds and Slash is all over the place. He’s never been the cleanest player but yikes.

[SheffJeff]

The sign language interpreters (sorry if that's not the correct term) have been amazing this weekend whether you enjoyed this set or not.

GnR were ace

That’s ridiculous. They weren’t even the worst headliner this weekend let alone of all time. 
I loved it. 

[SweetJesus]

I watched them at Graspop and the band was good, but Axl, omg, he sounds like dead cat. People in karaoke bar sounds better than Axl

Independent with their finger on the pulse of the festival...

[Gnomicide]

Another pit attendee, here. I absolutely loved it. Was there with my 2 lads and we all had a blast. 

The irony of GnR coming on early and Lana coming on late is a thing of beauty. 

[nikkic]

I watched 90 minutes and absolutely loved it. 

Left early as I’d promised my wife (who isn’t bothered by them) we’d get into the SE Corner earlier for a bit of techno. 

But I’d have happily stayed until the end.

He really is. I'm amazed at how so many people are impressed with his playing. It's less than average.

Wasn't as bad as Alex Turner though... good lord 😂

He’s a great emotive player on record but his improv is shocking. The extended noodle into Sweet Child had so many flubbed notes and was just meandering nonsense. It’s either that or spamming as many notes as possible so you don’t have time to dwell on the bad ones. 

[HotChipWillBreakYourLegs]

Loved it, thought they were great.

Welled up a bit during Civil War, listened to that so many times on repeat during.y teenage years.

[fullfathom5]

GnR were much better than expected, enjoyed it. Unlike Arctics, they were dull as.

[The Nal]

Slash has always been a sloppy guitarist. No news there. 

Still has his own sound though. Iconic.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They were pretty ragged alright. But it still rocked like a bastard.

[Badlands]

I lasted an hour before hotfooting it to Lana. 
They’re not my bag but I do think that the patter about Axl’s pipes are over the top, the high parts are mostly out of reach but he still sounded good to me.

[Gacheezbo]

Definitely surprise set of the weekend for me, me and my pals were having the time of the our lives, looked like the band were too, it was great. 

[ilovelanegan]

THIS.

Absolutely loved them, stayed on my own after friends headed to FBS and regretted nothing. Must say Axl's voice sounded brilliant from where I was, but less so watching back on TV last night. Just shows why actually being there is always better than watching it from your sofa 🤣

Casual Guns fan here, went mostly because the teens wanted to watch, had loads of fun. Lost me a bit at times but from Civil War onwards and the earlier big hits sounded great. We were fairly far forward in front of sound decks room to move but still busy and crowd around us really into it no chatters.

[Sasperella2]

My boyfriend wanted to watch their set with me when I got home. He loved it and I thought it looked pretty fun. 

Slash is still the ultimate guitar legend. I wonder what number top hat he's on now
