Looks like the pro shot vids have been taken down from youtube by the BBC. 

DAMN!  I only got to see WTTJ.  Which, by the way, still seems to be up for some reason.

here is the whole thing on video

Thanks.  I tried that before.  Unfortunately, my computer is ancient and my OS can't support an upgrade for Real Player.  I can HEAR it, on the older version of Real Player, but can't SEE it.  Unless anyone knows of another way, I think I'm screwed.  I've been putting off getting a new computer for about 6 years now.  It's moments like this.  One of these days.

Rename the file extension to .mpg and your WMP should play it, as long as its set up to play those files

Those 4 videos were amazing, really feelin it at TIL

God I wish they do more dark, heavy stuff like OMG, Silk Worms, Shacklers and not so much soft songs, but oh well.

I suggest we don't focus on the negative bullshit or give those morons more attention.

But what if they get the attention anyway?

At least this is a known page where that stuffz mets oposition, gets refuted and people can hear the truth.

Got no idea what i missed tho

Go to www.vlc.org and download the VLC player. Its light and can play almost everything, including mp4, mov, wmv and flv files.

dudes first and foremost my mrs said yes to the marriage proposal during november rain, 2 axl was amazing we got to the front, the leeds and reading shows have both been great, highlight was this i love, ron seems to be really comfy in the band and has amazing talent , rock on rons beard, dj, and richard are balls of energy, axl is the true rockstar on a line up that had some great bands, i met ginger from the wildhearst who was a cool guy and just standing in the crowd saying he was going to watch his friends, when i asked who he said gnr, i said cant i have friends like yours, he was awesome, didnt get security they were like kids in a playground got a few photos vids of guns and the security guy kept comin up threatening to take the camera, saying "its not me its him" and pointing at axl,  thought the security and organisers were piss poor actually, axl though prooved why gnr are the best and still the greatest band around, i look forward to new music from them, more gigs and cant wait for birmingham if any dudes are going we should meet up and try and meet up with some of the band, gnr have and always will hold a special place in my heart, as for m y mrs she is now obsessed shes become a die hard gnr fan, im proud, and as for lostprophets i played with these guys ten years ago, and their frontman is still a tool, shame the press dont praise axl for being as cool as he is, and nowhere did we hear wheres slash, leeds seemed to really appreciate what they saw and got and that is GUNS N ROSES

It's true that BBC will broadcast the full show on friday?

[Giant_Robot]

Went to Leeds, GN'R were fantastic, ignore all the bullshit negative crap the crowd fucking loved it.

I won't be doing an extensive review because people have posted some great reviews already.

Just checked bbc iplayer and guns are on this fri but Theres no set list yet. They showed 10 songs from the libertines and from what ive seen they played a good chunk of biffys set, so i think were in for more than the 4 songs we have already. The set is on a loop and just keeps playing

[Ulises]

So...BBC will show the entire set on friday or not?

I just downloaded the 4 pack songs (WTTJ,SOD,TIL,NR),and its aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamazing.Great performance,to say something bad Axl is a "bit" out of breath during jungle,but he seems more electric than ever,and makes this version the most epic,because he seems to fight against his body.EPIC.

[Ulises]

Yes...but that doesn't answer my question 

[kukol1978]

Yes...but that doesn't answer my question 

I DONT KNOW! but i will tell you as soon i know.

[Ulises]

What do you say richwoman? They are going to broadcast the entire show on friday?

I'm asking to you because you told that...

im in the UK and when i watch bbc on the tv i can press the red button on the control and up pops bbc-iplayer, then when i click on reading/leeds i can activate a seperate menu by using the blue button (not available online). the schedule for this week is listed as showing GnR this fri but the set isnt listed yet, its listed for the bands that have been shown so far this week but the Guns set is still missing. as i said earlier the libertines were shown yesterday and the set included 10 songs and they showed most of biffys set today (9-songs) - so yes it looks promising that we could get more than 4 songs  , its not definate we will get more but its looking hopeful

THANKS for the answer!

Still recovering from Friday at Reading and having finally read all 55 pages thought i'd chip in!

Was absolutely amazing - my 7th time seeing them and they have never let me down! (thanks mr axl rose!!)

Where i was stood, just to left of centre, there was a great atmosphere around us and waiting just felt like one of those things. Everyone around seemed to be having such a laugh that it wasn't a problem. When they came on it was fantastic and the whole set was. Don't think i can add much that hasn't already been said. Although did anyone else notice DJ nearly having a fight with a security guard when the power was cut off, seemed that the guy tried to grab his guitar and DJ had a brief grapple with him before getting away. Loved the acoustic Paradise City and the megaphone even though we couldn't hear it.

Also, a guy at the end caught a drumstick and some idiot robbed it out his hand and started running. The guy chased, top speed, and brought him down with a great rugby tackle and came back with the stick. I congratulated him, good on him.

Still hoping BBC show whole show on Friday but doubt they will. Hope someone can get copy of it coz you can't record the Red Button and I wont be here Friday to see it.

All in all, a great day- me and my mate got hammered and slept in the car after a few hours soaking up the festival atmosphere.. i personally saw no trouble and nothing anti-Gn'R.

Roll on Manchester.

Ps. how do you add photos on here?
