I can’t express how jealous I am of you. That would have been off the charts crazy. 

Flew to LA 2007 as I ran a small snowboarding company and was going to make some boards at the LA factory. Rock the Bells was also on - Rage, Wu Tang, cypress hill, murs, brother Ali, nas, roots and more. this was Rage’s big comeback.

I managed to finagle a media pass and was shooting photos between mosh pit and stage. During Wu Tang couches started getting set on fire and the po po deployed pepper spray. All the while everyone was doing the Wu symbol.

it was a crazy crazy crazy night 

got some ripping photos too from right in front of stage including a cracker of morello. 

Not the same of course…

I’d rather this thread be opened if we get through to the GF.

However, if the theme is general ‘fire up’ music, nothing beats Sirius.

 

The ultimate song to get things going. In Chicago Bulls fashion we actually played this as our run out song 2 years ago at the 'G.

So at the risk of being barred.....I truely believe we are......

One with a Melbourne flavour I'm surprised hasn't been nominated yet ...

Damn you're good!

Getting pumped now, a bit of Hatebreed with some Parkway and have just stumbled across Wage War (wow firing off).

To give me a bit of missing the old man, going to the footy together feels Paul Kelly ‘Leaps and Bounds’.

Good one, but I prefer I Robot.

What does it say about our society when there is a Highway To Hell but only a Stairway To Heaven?

 

Speaking of Led Zeppelin, it takes me to "Rock And Roll”. It certainly has been a long time.

It's been a long time since I rock-and-rolled

It's been a long time since I did the Stroll

Umps, let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back

mm-baby, where I come from

It's been a long time, been a long time

Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, Flag and Covid time

Everlong - Foo Fighters

says everything it has to

And here I was thinking I couldn’t possibly hold you in any higher esteem.

I love this! Very apt. ❤️💙

The last week I've been listening to some hip hop/rap

Necro and Ill Bill, Kendrick Lamar, Run the Jewels

As well as some old school Tool, Rage Against The Machine, Electric Wizard, Sabbath, Doors and Led Zep

I think we can relate to the message in this tune given our irrelevance for the last 57 years (and brought to you with huge dollops of glam, cheese and 80's perms)

 

I can't listen to that song without seeing Dave Chappelle's impression of his white friend, "Chip"

Isn't this what we're all on?

I worked with Wu Tang and The Beastie Boys when I lived in the US. I shot a project with Wu Tang, and it was the first time they’d all been together since ODB’s funeral. So many crazy people in one room, and more baby mama’s than I’d ever seen. Good times. 🤣

Fair dinkum, think you just won the best name drop ever... Had 50 Cent come through Nairobi, but his crew were all pajeros of the 1st order. 

FMD I melted down trying to answer this one, I am as just likely to listen to Stephen Sondheim, then park the bus on Joy Division or Pixies or straight to Dead Kennedys or RATM. So I have loosely grouped the music I would listen to on the way to a game or when I want to fire up etc.  

BTW, just quietly, a bit impressed by some of the name checked bands - never thought my fellow D'landers would have Kendrick Lamar, next thing I know people will be quoting Ghostface Killah. I skipped the obvious anthems - AC/DC, H&C not because I don't like them (I love 'em, but everyone owns them too an extent). Would have thought some of the ladies would name check Prodigy, didn't know any women who weren't mad for these guys.

Introspective  / On our history

I'm on Fire - Bruce Springsteen

Hurt - Johnny Cash

Dog Days Are Over - Florence and the Machine - good for when we salute as well i guess.

War Cry / Fire Up

Right Here, Right Now - Fatboy Slim

Call of the Wild - Agoria

anything by RATM but leaning on Take the Power back

Digital - Joy Division

For the Celebration

Can't Hold Us - Macklemore, my son and I would dance like lunatics around the house to this

Beautiful Day - U2 and about 50 of their other songs.

 

Gang of Youths Magnolia. (Yeah, I'm drunk but I'm ready to kick some f**cat [censored]). Also, their latest release includes a cover of the Elbow song ‘asleep in the back’, so I’ve been listening to Elbow- how did it take so long for me to find them? Build a rocket boys.

The National - Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks, just because it’s been my obsession recently. Not really relevant to our current situation, hopefully a lot of those lines remain so after Friday night.
