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
