Did make me wonder whether they'd turned his mic volume down to hide his fading vocals. Maybe not helped by the fact that he seemed to be running from start to finish of the set.
Slash was great though.

They always did have a taste for some flamboyant stuff, mostly down to Axl, although he's actually quite a handy pianist. Vocally he's a pub singer now I always thought of Velvet Revolver as being the band GnR should have been.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Sun Jun 25, 2023 10:40 am I thought they sounded like a cross between Heavy Metal and Flamenco
And after all that playing still managed a handstand leaving the stage! Legend.
Without doubt Slash can play a guitar, but I'd much rather listen to something a lot less "twiddly"Bigjawa wrote: ↑Sun Jun 25, 2023 11:03 amThey always did have a taste for some flamboyant stuff, mostly down to Axl, although he's actually quite a handy pianist.

Slash is definitely amongst the guitar legends, he's right up with the likes of Brian May, EvH, Prince and Lindsey Buckingham.
He does TV commercials these days:
I was flicking back n forth to Glasto, and most of the acts I saw had a crappy vocal set up
I lived near the site all my childhood (and some adulthood) and for a few years we lived 'next door' to it. My bro and sis loved it, but I just never got into it.darthpunk wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 9:32 am Glastonbury could have it's own thread called "340 quid for that pile of shite?"
Thank god for I-player though, they've actually put up some not bad stuff without the hassle of actually having to go. Going to watch the Sparks set later and the Rick Astley sets were really quite good, especially where he did a set of Smiths songs with some band called The Blossoms (I'm old)
Only one I haven't found so far that might have been good was Max Richter, a bit of culture n'that
So shite except when it's good, or especially good?
Catch-22 and Grosse Pointe Blank - thirty years between them & loved him in both.
