Guns N’ Roses Reacts to Negative, 'Hate' Comments Over Glastonbury Set

This year's Glastonbury Festival saw some of the most iconic moments like Elton John amassing the biggest crowd the event has ever seen, surprise performances from acts that were never announced, and more.

However, when it came to Guns N' Roses, the band didn't quite receive positive feedback from supporters as they were bombarded with negative comments on social media.

More recently, the band wanted to let their feelings know and it appears that they're unapologetic about it.

According to Loudwire, the American rock band was included as one of the main headliners at this year's Glastonbury and their performance lasted for over two hours consisting of 24 songs.

Now that the massive weekend is over and the group received negative remarks from different publications and social media fans, they took to their official Twitter account to let their voices be heard.

"...it would take a lot more hate than you," the group wrote, tagging writers Neil McCormick and Mark Beaumont who wrote negative reviews for The Telegraph and Independent, both of which are publications from the United Kingdom.

The outlet noted that the recent post was derived from the lyrics of their song "Chinese Democracy."

In a review article about their set published by The Telegraph, McCormick wrote that guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan were "grizzled rockers who only function at night."

On the other hand, he described frontman Axl Rose as someone who looks "weird" and even compared him to an "aging small-town hairdresser." In the end, he pointed out that the main problem of their performance was his voice.

In addition to the publications mentioned above, fans also shared their thoughts online, and most of them pointed out that there have been technical difficulties during the show, which led them to hear bad audio quality.

Guns N' Roses Glastonbury Low-Quality Sound?

Since their headlining set, a spokesperson from the American rock band has since addressed the issue to Wales Online, and it appears that it wasn't their fault, but rather, it was due to the network, which was BBC.

"We have dug deep into the matter, and it appears the broadcast had issues being played on certain TVs like UHDs. This was an unfortunate issue that the mix played through these TVs sounded so poorly; however, it was not the band's fault but the BBC's," the representative said.
