Glastonbury viewers complain about Axl Rose's microphone as Guns N' Roses headline Pyramid Stage

Guns N' Roses made their Glastonbury debut as they headlined the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night. Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan took to the stage at 9.30pm to begin their two hour set.

However many of those watching at home on BBC straight away complained that they were struggling to hear the iconic frontman's voice, Manchester Evening News reports. Many were left wondering if there was a problem with Axl's microphone.

@jadelhealz tweeted: "Did someone forget to turn on Axl’s mic?" while @live_berry wrote: "Someone please sort out Axl’s mic, when you actually hear him his voice is bang on."

@DJ_MRTG also wrote: "Someone turn Axl’s mic up! He’s getting drowned out by the rest of the band" while @richardhorrocks added: "What's wrong with Axl's mic !!!!" and @StephenHaggart wrote: "They need to turn Axl's mic up a smidge, I'm struggling to hear him."

Despite the sound issue others were still in awe of the performance - and loved seeing three of the original lineup back together.

@EJdaRed: "Guns n Roses are still top class. Slash is still as amazing as ever and Axl is going all out, respect the commitment to Glasto". while @pongo1927 simply tweeted: "Guns n Roses....awesome."

@DeathApeDisco also singled out guitarist Slash writing: "Slash. What a guitarist. What an icon. Wow."

Playing at the same time as Guns N' Roses were Lana Del Ray on The Other Stage, Fatboy Slim on The Park Stage and Christine and the Queens on Woodsies.

Earlier in the day there were performances by Rick Astley, Lizzo, Lewis Capaldi and Blossoms..
