High praise indeed.
If you were at the concert, there’s no doubt you’re going to remember it for many, many years to come. Despite the weather and the traffic chaos, it was still a remarkable day to be in Slane.

Lead singer Axl Rose was on stage on Saturday alongside other founders guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan, whom Rose took great delight in declaring was a “mother***in’ Irish man”.
