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.

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.

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.

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

He's sounding pretty good at the Glasgow show:
#139 Re: Guns N' Roses » Which song gets released first?!? » 141 weeks ago
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."

Randall Flagg wrote: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.
