I saw them at that Download too, would have loved to have seen them at the peakI saw them at Download, a few years back. Thought they were decent but not a patch on when I saw them in 92. Axel was nowhere as bad as some of the videos on YouTube.
One of the advantages of being old. I was 16 year’s old, first proper gig. Use your illusion tour at Gateshead stadium. GNR, Faith No More and Soundgarden. All for £19.00, if I remember correctly. Pretty specialI saw them at that Download too, would have loved to have seen them at the peak
He’s never had a particularly strong singing voice live anyway. They still put on an amazing show and are far better for Axl and Slash being back together.I've seen a few videos lately and his voice sounds completely ruined

I went last night, other than the sound Bing **** for the first few songs which they sorted, they where absolutely brilliant.Off to see them tonight, just 34 years after seeing them break through at Donnington ‘88
anyone go last night? Up to scratch?
Yep. Staying on your feet was literally a matter of life and death. RIP rockersI was at the 88 Donington gig when the two lads died in the crush. Probably the most scared I’ve been in my life that day. It was absolutely rammed, you literally could not move an I’m surprised only two were killed that day. In those days Donington was one big seething mass, no barriers to split the crowd like today and you could basically get right up to the stage - your chances of getting back out to go for a slash say or drink, or something to eat were basically zero. Very sad day although we didn’t know anyone has actually died. The GNR set stopped a few times as they pulled people out an Axl requested everyone take a step back or words to that effect. Just a shame it took two deaths for them to look at how to make the arena safe enough for a large crowd to attend safely.
I fully agree. I will never understand why bands prefer stadium shows to arenas, apart from the obvious that you clean more in a stadium. The sound quality in an arena is light years ahead of stadium showsI love guns n roses. Haven't bought tickets for any of the gigs. I've never been to a stadium gig. Just don't see the appeal. Miles and miles away from the stage. People just standing around. Faint sound of band in the distance. Hundred quid a ticket.
