Baby owls rescued from under Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage named after Guns N’ Roses
Glastonbury have been named after members of Guns N’ Roses.The first of the two owl chicks was found by a festival-goer under the left steps of the Pyramid Stage, during the rock group’s two-and-a-half hour headline set on Saturday (June 24).The punter gave the rescued owl the name Axl — after the band’s frontman Axl Rose — and it was taken to the RSPCA West Hatch Wildlife near Taunton, before being transferred to a Somerset-based wildlife charity, Secret World Wildlife Rescue.Within just one day of Axl being located beneath the main stage, a second chick was found in the same space and also taken to the rescue centre.Thought to be the sibling of Axl, the chick was given the name Slash — in homage to the moniker of the Guns N’ Roses guitarist Saul Hudson. The team at Secret World Wildlife Rescue (SWWR) in Somerset said the recovery was “the most unusual disturbance case” this year.A post shared by Slash (@slash)Fundraising Manager at Secret World Wildlife Rescue, David Plant, also issued a statement about the discovery of the two owls, and said that they “must have been terrified” after nearly two full days of loud music (via The Independent).“When Guns N’ Roses were playing ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, I’m sure they didn’t realise how close they actually were to wildlife,” he began.

Glastonbury 2023: Guns N’ Roses’ live agency blames BBC for poor sound
Guns N’ Roses has blamed the BBC for poor sound quality during he band’s Glastonbury set.The ’80s rock icons took to the stage as headliners on Saturday (June 24) and delivered a mammoth 24-song setlist comprising fan favourites ‘Welcome To The Jungle’ and ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’.For some fans watching the set at home, however, the footage was rife with technical issues, in particular relating to the vocals of singer Axl Rose.Taking to social media to complain about the sound quality throughout the set, which reportedly saw the singer’s vocals dip in and out throughout the set, the issue seemed exclusive to remote viewers, with no audience members at Worthy Farm seeming to experience the same issues.“The sound Quality for #GunsNRoses at #glastonbury2023 on #BBC is absolutely horrendous, can hardly make out the Vocals or Guitar riff! Sort it out lads!!!” wrote one Twitter user during the set.Another agreed, adding: “The fact the sound quality is better when recorded on your phone than it was on the telly highlights where the fault of the TV coverage lays and it’s not with @gunsnroses.”The sound Quality for #GunsNRoses at #glastonbury2023 on #BBC is absolutely horrendous, can hardly make out the Vocals or Guitar riff!Sort it out lads!!!— FarDreamer101 (@Fardreamer101) June 24, 2023The fact the sound quality is better when recorded on your phone than it was on the telly highlights where the fault of the TV coverage lays and it’s not with @gunsnroses— Lee Dopson (@LeeDopson) June 28, 2023What is wrong with the sound quality we can barely hear him sing over the music #GunsNRoses— suemarie (@suebaggy) June 24, 2023Trying to watch @gunsnroses from Glastonbury, but what the hell is with the terrible sound quality?— findis89

Noel Gallagher thinks Guns N’ Roses headlining Glastonbury is “crazy shit”
Noel Gallagher has shared his thoughts on Guns N’ Roses headlining Glastonbury this weekend, describing the bill topping slot as “crazy shit”.The US band will perform on the Pyramid Stage this Saturday (June 24), in between Arctic Monkeys on Friday (23) and Elton John on Sunday (25).The former Oasis musician, however, has questioned the thinking behind the decision, suggesting that the honour could have gone to a British act instead.“I thought, ‘What? Are you being serious? That’s crazy shit’,” he told the Daily Star‘s ‘Wired’ column, recalling the moment he found out Guns N’ Roses were headlining the iconic British festival.“When you think of all the huge British artists who’ve had albums out this past year, having Guns N’ Roses headlining the Saturday is mad.”Explaining his own absence from Worthy Farm this year – as both a performer and a punter – Gallagher, who released his new album ‘Council Skies’ with the High Flying Birds earlier this month, said his schedule didn’t allow for it.“I would have been smart to play Glastonbury this year, but I played it last year because I’d been booked to do it in 2020 and everything got pushed back,” he said.“There’s always next year to go back to Glastonbury – I’m not going anywhere.“Because of lockdown, the band hadn’t played together for ages – and touring again is joyous.”The singer also explained that he’ll be performing at some smaller festivals instead this year, including PennFest in Buckinghamshire, Splendour Festival in Nottingham and West Yorkshire’s Bingley Weekender.“What I like about boutique festivals is that pretty much everyone will go to see you,” he said.“That makes the festival more like one of our own gigs.
