It's a crying shame Buckethead was gone before we could hear him play TWAT live

Yeah, I wish we'd had just one performance of it with Buckethead.

Oddly, Bucket got a mention from Axl at the Rome show.

#132 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2023 Tour Dates » 139 weeks ago

God damn it, they busted out TWAT in Rome because someone in the audience asked for it. Why does this never happen when I'm at a show? (also Axl pretty much nailed the screams, again).

Also this is probably Slash's best rendition of the solo to date.

Also a bunch of those albums are the (Taylor's Version) ones, aren't they? Which are just re-recordings of old material.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

Fuck this movie. Like the Disney Star Wars sequels – the first one in particular – it's like a Greatest Hits compilation of bits you liked from the previous films (Indiana Jones punches Nazis on a moving vehicle! Crumbling ruins with puzzles and booby traps!) while adding in backstory that utterly undermines the happy ending of the previous film and reframes every moment of the preceding films as part of a tragic arc.

I honestly didn’t feel that way at all. While it wasn’t without its faults and flaws, I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hidden Text:

At the end of the film, Indiana Jones is a tragic figure, consoling his grieving wife and mourning his son's early death. That's our last glimpse of the character; not riding into the sunset, triumphant. Not reuniting with and marrying his sweetheart, and throwing a cheeky smirk as he takes his hat back from his son. No, he's an old man broken by grief. What an uplifting fucking ending to the entire saga. Oh, and try watching, say, Raiders again with that foreknowledge. The ending of Raiders – Indy and Marion trotting down the steps to a then-uncertain future, is no longer a hopeful, optimistic moment; it's now leading them inexorably towards tragedy.

Fuck this film.

He should run around less to preserve his lung capacity. Same trap Mick Jagger got onto around 1981. Everyone saw him sprinting across the stage in that concert that aired on cable TV (on HBO, I think?) and expected it of him, whereas in the ‘60s and ‘70s he tended to stand at the microphone.

There was a noticeable improvement in his vocals in London, IMO – where the stage was wet and slippery, so he couldn't run around as much.

Glastonbury is a total lottery when it comes to tickets. People won't know who the headliner will be when they 'apply' for tickets.
So I think a new song will have less impact at Glastonbury. As will 'deep cuts' such as COMA
They will have to bring their a-game though, if Axl can do rasp this is the time to turn it on. Also limit covers outside of LALD and KOHD.

Save the new song for Hyde Park, which selfishly I will get to enjoy with a beer in my hand in the gold circle!

lol, I'll see you there...

If you see some one in a UYI2 t-shirt, mid 40s grey/mouse brown hair, that's me. Enjoy the day!

Enjoy!

Mate you just described like 60% of the audience for the show

I hope the working dynamic allows slash to really re-jig the songs but I suspect its more like they just mute the existing solos and he improvises a solo where there was one.

I dunno, I think they pretty radically altered Hard Skool. All the meandering intro (an Axl signature – see Riad, Chinese Democracy etc) was stripped out. You can just picture Duff going, "lose all that shite, bass riff, couple of drum hits and straight into the song."

GUNS N' ROSES: 'Worst Glastonbury Headline Set Of All Time'?
U.K.'s Independent calls GUNS N' ROSES' performance at Glastonbury "the worst Glastonbury headline set of all time" and refers to singer Axl Rose as the band's "fatal flaw." The reviewer, Mark Beaumont, writes: "Rose makes the whole thing sound like a Muppet Show pastiche of hard rock. It's his voice: a creature that, were you to take it to a vet, would come home in a cardboard box."

https://blabbermouth.net/news/watch-dav … B6DzTL5eqo

I'm still gonna see them on August 18th, but the author isn't wrong and anyone who's watched the band since 2016 knows this to be true. Slither beyond every other song needs to be dropped.  He can't sing it.  It sounds bad, and there are other songs he can do.

My god that review is brutal but hilarious in a way only the British press can be

The writer is ex-NME, so it tracks. It's staffed by insecure indie kids who can't bear seeing someone enjoy music they don't like. They're incapable of celebrating music; they only know how to draw up dividing lines between in-groups and out-groups, and sit there in their little adolescent clique sneering at the designated pariahs.

I danced a fucking jig when the last issue of that rag was printed.
