GUNS N’ Roses have soberly informed Glastonbury that their wild, rock ‘n’ roll years are far behind them and they are now old, tired men.
Between songs, Axl Rose explained that while they were once the most dangerous band in the world, they now firmly believed in the importance of an afternoon nap.
He continued: “How y’all doin’, Glastonbury? Because I gotta tell you my hip’s not so f**kin’ good!
“We’re playing these songs, we’re rocking out about crazy 80s LA and heroin and chicks and motorbikes, and man, we are no longer living a word of that shit! Can I get a hell yeah?
“Learned the hard way, Glastonbury, learned the dangers of booze, drugs, wives, recording new material and what’s that, Slash? Oh yeah, snakes. He learned the dangers of snakes.
“So here I am, singing about those hedonistic days while living their total antithesis or I wouldn’t f**kin’ be here to sing about it. I get massages and meditate and shit, assholes!
“And we still rock harder than Lewis f**king Capaldi. This is Rocket Queen!”
