Guns N’ Roses‘ recent performance at the Glastonbury festival received multiple negative reviews, and now the band has responded to the bad press.
Gn’R highlighted two reviews from major UK publications in particular: one by music critic Neil McCormick of The Telegraph subtitled “Welcome to the Mumble” and an even harsher piece by The Independent’s Mark Beaumont that called Gn’R “frontrunners for the worst Glasto headline set of all time.”
Beaumont pulled no punches, writing that Axl Rose “flips between a lower register that resembles a clogged lawnmower and a higher one that sounds like Barry Gibb suffering the mother of all wedgies.” Ouch.
The band responded by taking to Twitter to put both writers on blast, tagging each of their Twitter handles and borrowing a line from the song “Chinese Democracy”: “…it would take a lot more hate than you @neil_mccormick @Markbeaumontuk.”

Bruce Springsteen released his 19th studio album, “Western Stars,” on June 14. It’s his first studio album since 2014’s “High Hopes,” and his first album of entirely new material since 2012’s “Wrecking Ball.” It’s a change-of-pace concept album for the legendary rocker, who uses the collection to tell stories about characters called to the California frontier. So what do critics think of Springsteen’s new sound at age 69?
They seem to like it quite a lot. As of this writing “Western Stars” has a MetaCritic score of 86 based on 18 reviews counted — all of them positive, including a couple perfect 100s. It is being described as a “late-period masterpiece.” The singer-songwriter feels “rejuvenated” by his trip out West with “irresistible” sounds of “lushly orchestrated throwback, country-tinged folk pop.”
