I dont like it either. Really annoys me how certain things that have no reason to be changed get changed.

Don't get too annoyed stranga. You'll really love it by around 4:30pm next Saturday, I promise you!

As long as we hear it played plenty of times this year then I don't have a problem with how it sounds

The less banjo, the better.

I am all for keeping the old.

I have the old "Fable" version on my itunes at home so i can always pump it in the lounge room!

You raise an excellent point!

The re-mastered sped up version sounds to me like "the once fabulous Fable Singers" have been over dubbed and overly auto tuned or just digitised to the sheizenhouzen! Way too gay! Music is too fast versus the original, which has authority, depth and kicks the new versions ARSE!

When i first heard this version on S.E.N. a few years back i thought it was them having a crack at us being seen on the field as soft or something. I even sent a complaint, but then realised the club was peddling this crap lol.

Why do we continually change our heritage every other year anyway? Jumpers, Colours, Song, Logo. Just leave the bloody things alone! And i want me RED back!! We ain't and never will be the roy boys (yeh i know we had a similar maroon back around the turn of the last century but hec.....leave it for the heritage week would ya!). If we keep changing the basis of what defines us "every other year" no one will have any idea who we are soon, including ourselves!

Bloody wet eared marketing graduates trying to make a name for themselves....GRRR!

Ok...that's Rusty's Rant for this week.

I want the David Bridie version:

No Hard.....just NO!

The speed of the song is exactly the same, has not been sped up at all.

No Hard.....just NO!

Well, I'm an unabashed fan of the Bridie version... but really, as was discussed in the U2 thread, I would love to hear a Pogues version as I think it's a song that would suit Shane MacGowan down to the ground (on which he is more often than not, prostrate).

I'd like to see what Collingwood have done

They have a CD/DVD with over a dozen different versions (not sure how many) of their theme song. One for every occasion

The old red, white, and blue...

Link broken.

Basically, Grand Old Flag is a patriotic US song based around Gettysburg (Civil War).

Maybe that's where the banjo is from...

But what if the new one is the old one, but clearer?

You were attached to a song, just not the song.

To be fair, about half the songs in the league are based on patriotic American songs about their culture or their history. Well, them and France.
