Glastonbury & the BBC.

Slash was decent in 2010 but it clashed with England vs Germany in the World Cup so had a smaller crowd that it would have otherwise.

Yeah I was there as well.

I'm not a football fan - I seem to remember England went out to Germany then so all the people that watched it came back annoyed

The singer Slash had in 2010 did better vocals than Axl Rose can muster now to be honest.

I went to the football but it was pretty crap trying to view the screens from the back of a (not elevated) field, then towards end of the first half there was a legitimate England equalising goal disallowed, we left at halftime to watch Slash.

Loved Guns N' Roses back in the day, went to the Milton Keynes one back in 1992 I think. Doubt they will be as good as that day

I was at that gig also. It was ok but nothing special. Saw them at Donington in 1988. Now that was a gig (apart from the two poor souls who got crushed when GnR came on). Guns with Axl is a karaoke performance now. I'd be ashamed to take the money if I was him - really its so bad. Can't fault Slash or Duff but sometimes you got to know when to move on.

Some of the main acts are a little weak but there are some gems in the line-up and given the vastness of Glastonbury and the wide spectrum of acts (https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/line-up/line-up-2023/?stage), you easily be able to walk into something you like.

Shame i didn't get tickets; will have to try for next year.

Edit - Will be interesting to see how commercialised and chav'd it is now - i last got tickets for 2013 and anywhere around the Pyramid stage was beginning to look like the local jobseekers.
