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?


What about the Doobie Brothers?

My favourite group of all time.

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!

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.

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
