New York Dolls is a better fit .

Oh they absolutely do
Not the radio friendly hairbrushed Aerosmith of the late eighties
But the sleazy hard rock drug influenced Aerosmith of the mid seventies
Slash says Aerosmith changed his life and his favourite album was Aerosmith Rocks
And you can see why is you listen to it
Guns N' Roses are an old school raunchy hard rock band more inflluenced by Aerosmith, Nazareth, Lynyrd Skynyrd, AC/DC, The Stones than the likes of Sabbath and Maiden.
By the way, Elton John's performance was far better than Axl & Co.
Oooooo im in London for a few days, didnt know they were in Hyde park, we are seeing a show in the afternoon, nothing planned for the evening, might see you there Jimmy :hehe: ( got 3 shows booked for the 3 days, only day we have a afternoon show is Friday, it might be fate that we need to see GnR )
I'm seeing maiden in Manchester Friday
Just caught Rick doing Highway to Hell, they the mrs wanted to show daughter who ACDC were on YouTube, which led into early GnR live Welcome to the jungle, then I caught it from Glasto on someones phone, it turns out it wasnt Axles mic, it was his mic feed for the BBC
have a search on YouTube for the show, its a decent sound and nothing like the BBC mic feed
I really don't connect with gigs in huge venues/very large spaces. I made a rare exception last week and saw Peter Gabriel at the NEC and in a relatively good and expensive seat - but when you can't make out someone's facial features without looking at a screen doesn't register with me as a genuine gig. I won't be doing that in a hurry again as I just don't feel it, man.....
I experienced something yesterday which I would have said was impossible until I heard it - Edward Bevan at the Glamorgan game asking if Guns and Roses really were as bad at Glastonbury as as they'd been reported as being - the world's going mad :hehe:!
Hey Sludge, have you heard of a band call The Motors ? Not my cup of cha but they supported Wishbone Ash at the Capitol Cinema in 1977 and to this day remain the loudest band I've ever seen live. Almost made my ears bleed. I've seen Purple, Zep and Sabbath and they were louder than all of them, probably put together.
