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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
