[sworrm]

[tommyrai]

Family Guy ace much better than mumford and sons

So...I just came in, there's no streaming?   

sat here watching the live coverage at the mo and tonights shedule is-
the big pink
queens of the stone age
biffy clyro
mumford and sons(excellant)!!
Delphic
Pheonix
LCD soundsystems-
no gnr listed for tonight-must be on tomorrow ;-(

[Is he struggling?]

My point is that going on late isn't going to endear G n'R to the neutrals. It's all very well saying 'fuck the neutrals', but us true fans are going to have to hear a load of shit about how 'Axl's a diva', and it will take an awful lot to convince the them otherwise.

But thats the thing. Axl is a diva. We all know that. Most of us here have followed Guns from the early days, and W. Axl Rose has not changed a lot from 1987 til now.

I was talking to my mates uncle last week who saw them at Wembley in '91 and he told me about how he waited hours for them to come on.

Newsflash, Axl isn't a great time keeper.

True, but going on late and not allowing a stream (both of which might have happened for very good reasons), isn't going to win any new fans.

So, its past 11:30. Have the heavies dragged Axl off stage yet?

[Crashdiet]

suspense is killing me! Will they pull the plug.... If Axl doesn't stop I'd doubt they will EVER play an festivals in the UK again

[juadlu]

it's curfew now. they still going?

unsure

Family Guy on BBC3 now 

festival is still on channel 301

that's 10 mins over curfew... looks like nothing is going to happen

[Mysteron]

Guns will be ok. Do not worry.

The Leeds festival changed grounds because of problems with litter, not because of bands being late on stage.

[sworrm]

i think its leeds where they will have the problem cos they already pissed them off once they are still on first strike in reading

True, but we don't know why Guns set wasn't streamed. We all blame Axl because he's the frontman and the main man, but hell we don't know if management pulled it, we don't know if Guns had already disagreed to having it streamed, it could be for any reason whatsoever.

I for one am pissed that it didn't get shown because I declined to go out tonight just so I could stay in, drink my 8 cans of Fosters and watch GN'R's set. Now I'm sat here F5'ing message boards. But the thing is, it could be for absolutely any good [or indeed bad] reason that it hasn't been shown.

So let's just all have a lil' fuckin' patience, yeahhhhh yeahhhh.

Leeds are more strict than Reading, but worst case scenario is that they will be fined more, that is all.

The Leeds fest is too important to lose.

[juadlu]

Theres more footage tomorrow-I'm sure that GnR will show up some time.
