Complaints over Guns N' Roses Glastonbury set as viewers all say same thing

Glastonbury viewers have all said the same thing about Guns N' Roses during their headline set at the Glastonbury Festival. Viewers have complained of quiet vocals, saying they are unable to hear lead singer Axl Rose's lyrics against Slash's guitar solos.

The band took to the Pyramid Stage in their first ever Glastonbury appearance, playing classics like Welcome To the Jungle and Slither alongside Live and Let Die. But despite people at the festival rocking out to the music, viewers watching the BBC coverage at home said they could "barely hear" the lead singer.

One viewer said: "Can someone please turn up Axl’s mic on the TV coverage. Same last night with Arctic Monkeys."

Someone else joked: "That Guns N' Roses tribute band were ok. Music excellent, knew all the words, but the singer wasn’t strong enough."

Many viewers thought there had been a sound issue with Axl's mic as they struggled to hear the frontman. "Fix. Axl. Rose’s. Mic," another added.

"Axels voice not holding up and not helped by the mic volume but Slash absolutely smashing this set. man is a legend," someone else said.

Earlier in the day, audiences were able to hear popstars Lewis Capaldi and Lizzo take to the same stage, alongside rapper AITCH. Capaldi left some audience members in tears with his emotional lyrics and honesty, as he opened up about his mental health struggles.
