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.
Yeah he's definitely on the decline as he enters his 60s. We always knew this was going to happen...he can't really talk the songs like Jagger...not most of them anyways.
We're at a strange point. In the offchance an EP or full album came out, is he even capable of tackling the material?!?
If there's more touring after this year, the whole operation needs to be revamped.
Ditch certain songs....
Slither
YCBM
BetterEtc
Maybe even go old school and have a mini acoustic set in the middle...
Patience
Used To Love Her
You're Crazy
Dead Flowers
Maybe KOHD or an AFD songOr start use backing tapes ;-)
I'm 10000% against this.
Unfortunately....it's probably going to happen because many bands/artists do it now. Hell .... even Roger Waters lip syncs some of the songs.
I don't want them to shelve good material just because he isn't capable of singing it. However I am totally down with the band writing a new album that fits Axls vocal abilities now, whether that's a lower register, less screams or more gaps between lines / choruses.

The Guardian gave them 4/5.
Nice to see GNR still polarising opinion!
The night before I watched Artic Monkeys and ended up falling asleep. They're a good band but the set felt pretentious and GNR were far more entertaining.
I agree though Axl needs to drop songs he can't sing properly. Or start use backing tapes ;-)
He also has a particular way of singing that gets on my nerves. Not Mickey. It almost sounds like an old female choir singer.

Elton was excellent. Not convinced Axl would have been good enough for the show.

That would be cool.
Probably sitting on the side of the stage watching the performance

I've just accepted that Helium/Mickey Mouse voice Axl is here to stay and it doesn't bother me as much. What can you do, it's normal human aging?
I'd rather that than no Axl. I think he did ok! Slash was incredible
