Kiss of death? Didn't the Meatloaf fiasco teach them anything?

Kiss may perform at this year's GF. Now, I'm in my 60's and was into Kiss in the 70's, but even I'm not so stupid as to think that they have any relevance to the 2015. When will the AFL realise that we older folk are not the majority and that we should not be the main target when it comes to such things as entertainment at GF's.

Put on some decent contemporary local talent rather than wasting vast sums of money on imported hacks for christ's sake!!

Rant over... (take deeeeeep breaths)

 

I agree. I assume Johnny Farnham must be busy?

but the thing is, who would you have instead?

garauntee it is impossible to please everyone with music

I'd just You Am I to play it every year. but thats just me. :-)

What about the Doobie Brothers?

 

Just you Dub, cannot stand You am I, one of my most hated bands EVER!

I have heard nothing but good things about KISS live, and all very recent concerts.

They will be fine, they created rock entertainment.

How about ANY artist born post 1980? What is this obsession the AFL has with ageing has-beens?


Just have Mike Brady sing his songs, and give the other crap a big miss!

What about the Doobie Brothers?

Please... no. They were at Bluesfest last year and I gave them a wide birth... didn't even get within earshot. I saw them in the UK supporting the Allman Brothers at Knebworth when they were at the height of their powers in 1974 and hated them (the Allman Brothers were superb by the way). But that's just my personal taste.

I just think that the entertainment at the MCG should be a little more relevant to the present, that's all... and it probably should not be limited to just one artist performing their greatest hit(s)... put on 3 local acts performing one song each... logistically very doable and removes the issue of not catering for a wide enough range of tastes.

Please not "Rock" music from now, they just sound like sooky little girls.


KISS. FCS. That whole dress up thing, and the tongue waggling, strewth. It's s circus outfit at its height. Now they look like a KISS version of Fat Elvis impersonators.

Just bury them.

The Doobies was a tongue in cheek suggestion, I thought they were dead.

Who needs entertainment? The Grand Final is the entertainment!

The Rolling Stones don't put on a football match at interval!

Edited by ManDee

Played at the F1 a few years back and had mass support. Not my cup of tea but plenty seem to love them.

What's wrong with Robbo?

Yeah, he could sing/slur the Essendon FC song (or perhaps more appropriately, Cheap Wine and a Three Day Growth)... ooooh, you mean THAT Robbo!

How about the Reserve GF?

Just a thought.

I worked with Kiss in 2002 when the played with the MSO at Etihad.

Great guys but it is now 2015

Can't half tell music is dead now in terms of relevance...

Can't understand why AC/DC have never been offered the gig

Wow didnt know You Am I could emote should a response

Exactly what I mean when I said its impossible to please everyone

Maybe Taylor Swift is free? :unsure:

One of my mates loves them, constantly played them in our younger days, same with Living End, Grinspoon, Jebediah, my ears bleed when i hear them.

 

the venue, occasion, atmosphere and acoustics is just all wrong for a top class musical artist

all you end up with is something below par and meaninglessly over-hyped. it's a lose-lose situation

it's like having a rembrandt exhibition at the vic market on a sat morning

better off something more basic, frivolous, and light-hearted than pretentious big-noting

Now THERE'S and idea!! I actually did go to a Picasso exhibition, Andy Warhol exhibition and Aardman Studios exhibition over the years, all in department stores in Tokyo.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
