Glastonbury 2023

[Reemul]

Guns and Roses were dreadful, Axl has no voices, slash was amazing. Artic Monkeys sucked, slow and poor crowd interaction made it seem thye did not really want to be there. Now Fat Boy Slim and Rick Astley were great as were Sparks. Like most festivals you have good and bad

To be slightly fair, an awful lot of them will be very unwashed unless it rains.....

My lass is too resourceful to let a lack of rainfall impact on the stench emanating from her armpits. She has a couple of packets of baby wipes with her.

I always enjoy the Glastonbury coverage. I agree. Not seen much that that's blown me away and seen some that was dreadful, to me.
Watched a bit of GnR last night. I lasted 10 minutes. Didn't help that Axl looks and sounds like an elderly woman.
For years I've considered going, but lacked support from friends I thought would be up for it. Seeing quite a lot of 50-somethings like me there this weekend I've decided it's best left to the young'uns. They look like pitiful old people trying too hard.

Went to see GnR at the spuds stadium last year and we left after 40 mins as the sound was awful.

Time hasn’t been kind to Axel

Loving Cat Stevens. He's certainly aged better than most!

Good for his age Amanda, wasn't he

 

[AmandaJR]

Good for his age Amanda, wasn't he

Certainly was. Didn't try to be something he's not. Sounded a bit breathless at times but think that was the occasion. Saw him interviewed this week and imagine he was pretty nervous.

I hope that Blondie will save the event, they were some band in their day.

They didn't

 

[chrisd]

Becky Hiill looked pretty good too

 

[Golfmmad]

They didn't

I watched less than 5minutes. Was she trying to look cool in those strange glasses?
Couldn't really hear her voice, sound was awful.
Hope dood old Elton gets it going later!

GNR weren't that bad, Slash still has it. The Lightning Seeds were excellent.
I don't whats wrong with the older artists still trying to rock it out and show the youngsters that playing their own instruments is just as good as 5 guys/gals standing in a ling singing a harmony

 

[Bunkermagnet]

They didn't

It's still Debbie Harry

 

[D-S]

The Elton John tribute looks and sounds nothing like him.

Edit I am rather enjoying it though.

Last time I saw GnR they were epic, brilliant. Monsters of Rock 1988 mind

 

[Deleted member 1147]

Arctic monkeys were SO bad

They were great, he just struggled with laryngitis

 

[Beezerk]

As much as I dislike Elton John fair play to him, he absolutely smashed that out of the park ️

 

[Reemul]

They were great, he just struggled with laryngitis

They were not great, they were rubbish even with rose tinted glasses on

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Blondie not great at all, sound was poor, could hardly hear DH. EJ set was pretty darned good. That we know every song he did, and know most if not all the words of many of them, says something about what he has created over the last 50+ yrs.

I like Artic Monkeys but their latest album, the Car, is absolute drivel.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I haven't watched any of the coverage, no interest, but there was a clip on the news last night with a scattering of women on shoulders of people, obviously blocking the view of others. What is the etiquette there? Are they fair game as targets, I'm thinking coconut shy type thing, or do people just accept that as part of a festival?
