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)

[DubDee 26,191]

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. :-)

[ManDee 7,239]

What about the Doobie Brothers?

[AzzKikA 2,371]

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.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

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

[Gorgoroth 13,132]

i bet they want 5 million just to show up

[Redleg 41,737]

What about the Doobie Brothers?

My favourite group of all time.

[Vagg 2,449]

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

[hardtack 10,702]

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.

[daisycutter 29,797]

what's wrong the Tramways Band if we must have music.......and some nice girl's marching teams

[pitmaster 3,583]

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 Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

i think KISS will be awesome.

[ManDee 7,239]

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.

[s-t-i-n-g-a 439]

What's wrong with Robbo?

[hardtack 10,702]

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!

[Sir Why You Little 37,241]

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...

[Grapeviney 9,881]

This is a disgrace - Kiss belong at VFL Park, not the 'G !!

[loges 6,767]

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?

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.

[Gorgoroth 13,132]

I think they should get Immortal to play. Would be awesome!!! Ha ha ha

[daisycutter 29,797]

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.
