    Axl's voice went and they changed the key so he could sing more baritone, and shortened the set for the same reason.

    Also the venue has never hosted a gig before - sound teething issues.

    GNR Gig in Glasgow cancelled for tonight due to illness, assume that's to do with Axl's voice?

    Probably the horrific sound mix at the London shows, if axl couldn't hear himself through the in ears he could have strained his voice singing louder than expected.

    On the London gig, from another source.


    Guns n Roses didn’t use the stadium system. They bought their own system (and there wasn’t enough of it either). They also used a sound engineer who hadn’t worked with GnR before either. Also, Axl didn’t want to play the first night because he was feeling sick, hence the opening delays, and there was no sound check because of that. (He also slept in the away changing room overnight, staff had to go to Ikea to get him a bed, which meant there was no soundcheck for the second date either as he was sleeping still. Axl also asked for his vocals to be low in the mix because of that as well)

    To repeat, the stadium system wasn’t used directly, as it were. It was GnR’s proprietary system. Incidentally, Gary Clark Jr’s sound was superb…

    I hope this gets upvoted for visibility. Not saying maybe we still shouldn't have opened the stadium on time so people could use facilities, but also, the gig going ahead was in question so I don’t envy the stadium for not really knowing what to do.

    Straight up had Lady Gaga been the first concert we’d be being lauded. Love Slash, but **** these guys.

    Edit: autocorrect spelling etc.

    Edit again: people who were seated, particularly in the upper sections who reported the sound being at least fine is because the music had to be put through the stadium speakers. So whilst the sound mix wasn’t great there, it was better by virtue of it being audible.

    Really strange stuff. GnR actually weren't the first music event there more accurately they were the first paid gig at the ground. Not sure who was the first but others had performed there including Rudimental at some half time thingy during American Football.

    Saw a post from Richard Fortus referring to themselves as guinea pigs and will be warning others off playing there, the worst he'd experienced.
