Bummer. Perhaps open some Buckie and watch some YouTube! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loud shout vocals over far away, quiet music. Maybe the big stage and the way they film it doesn’t help. Young Fathers packed the stage across the way and it looked full of life. Looks great anyway. Curious to see what GnR deliver. Yeah. I think we all get that the vocal mix is set up with for tv or for the live audience, but there have been multiple bands on the main stage - not least Guns N Roses who can no doubt afford top of the range sound technicians - where you can barely hear the vocals. Three songs in and all you can hear is the lead vocals now, and I think the backing vocal mic might have been turned off. (edit: and now we can’t hear Axl again). I didn’t know too much about Young Fathers, but despite there being about ten folk on stage and one of the singers clearly having a skinful of something or other, it sounded magnificent. Best thing I’ve seen on the iPlayer by a mile, but there wasn’t much yesterday, to be fair. Edited June 25, 2023 by Savage Henry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Gave up on watching GnR. Axl’s mic problems were just too much & didn’t appear to be getting fixed anytime soon. (Maybe it was happening to cover for his disconcerting pearly white teeth whistling?) I wouldn’t say I’m much of a fan of them anyway &, ‘Appetite’ excepted, found the other stuff pretty much meh. So ended up revisiting the Smiths getting Rickrolled. In what must be the show stealer of the weekend! (Completely bonkers, but surprisingly brilliant!) Blossoms pretty much nailing it. Thought they missed a trick, with Marr being on site & playing with the Pretenders later on, at another stage. Mind you he probably thought ‘this has to be some sort of a joke’ too! Caught a bit of the Manics, who were ok, but nothing startling, with Faster seemingly turning into slower. Been pretty disappointing on the whole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the songs better than he does. I remember when Billy Idol could actually sing, that was painful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound like a bad cabaret act Alex met Josh Homme, no idea how that turned him into a boring, tedious, plodding twat, but here we are. Let's just be thankful for the first 2 Albums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I see she turned up half an hour late for her set, meaning she couldn’t finish it and gave an excuse about getting her hair done, but still got fans to take her side in the “controversy”. She and Billy Nomates have managed to make the coverage all about them, so well played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Lana Del Ray was late for her set because she was getting her hair done? FFS. When I was at Knebworth in ‘79, Led Zeppelin were late on because before them, The New Barbarians reportedly refused to go on until their manager checked their appearance money was right - which was bags of actual cash that needed physically counted. Them was the days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Billy Nomates, cannot be f*ked with Betty Grant & her dreary pish but each to their own, wish I had 2% of either of their talent but here we are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I didn’t like Arctic’s monkeys set either tbh, I was wanting to post something on Twitter which sunmed them up perfectly but I can’t find it now. Basically the audience want some nostalgia when seeing them but the band have moved on and changed their style and sound as they’ve aged which doesn’t appeal to a good percentage of the audience who aren’t following them every step of the way. Alex turner was still acting like a pretentious wallopper who was murdering his own songs though. Texas looked good but I can’t stop thinking about her having a hairy bush based on a post I saw on here once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
