Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Depeche Mode = 🤌 💛 

I was a huge Rammstein fan back in the day and my fave song was “Stripped” which I later discovered was a Depeche Mode song. Respect. 

I saw Rammstein live at the Big Day Out about 10 years ago. Now that was a show! Iggy Pop and Tool played the same show, unbelievable.

I saw them there too! Awesome experience. The Big Day Out had some incredible acts… unforgettable.

You can see there is a difference in that statement though

I appreciate that many other people find them super important - including one of my personal favourites and the influence on his career and life Paul Weller, however me personally, The Beatles are tepid, middling and uninteresting ... and I've tried.

Blackbird is bloody cool though...

Prefer Nick  Drake... but maybe cause I'm miserable :)

I don’t want to hijack the metalfest that is this thread, but I feel like I need to point out that The Beatles only appear ‘tepid, middling and uninteresting’ because everything they did has been regurgitated by those with less talent for 60 years.

In the context of what popular music was when they started as a band, and what they helped turn it into, I think it’s hard to fathom their creative growth.

Also Paul Weller is a boss. Moving from The Jam to The Style Council was amazingly brave at the time. He’s a pure artist.

I produce records for a living and to hear somebody say that The Beatles are "uninteresting" is like a scientist being told that Galileo was a bit "samey".

That's the thing though - seen in the context of their time vs compared to everything that came after. Part of my affection for certain artists (whether musical or otherwise) is valuing them in the context of the time and what they helped inspire. Not everyone sees things that way though, it's just about whether they like what they're viewing/experiencing at that moment and for some The Beatles don't hit that mark.

Just to divert this thread even more, I miss the old album covers. The artwork in particular (although I also looked forward to detailed information such as who produced which tracks, who played which instruments and especially, when they were provided, the song lyrics). In my memory two of the three most iconic are Beatles' album covers (Sgt Peppers and Abbey Road), with the third being Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. The Beatles also score bonus points for With the Beatles, their second LP, because it was really the first "artistic" album cover for a rock/pop band, even if it was just head shots of the Fab Four.

Still love holding my vinyl covers and admiring the art work, especially the Iron Maiden covers done by Riggs. Amazing.

To those ever wanting to explore Rap, especially 80/90s 

I highly recommend Kool G Rap, Erik B and Rakim, Ghetto Boys ontop of the more known artists like Public Enemy, Ice T, NWA, Ice Cube etc

Horrible brag time. I once worked on a project with Rakim, Ice T, Ice Cube, Wu Tang, and The Beastie Boys. Beasties were super shy. Ice T was really funny and easy to work with. Rakim was really chill, and Wu Tang was like a family reunion - as it was only 18 months after ODB died.

I also worked with Russell Simmons on the same project and to this day he’s the worst human I’ve ever met.

You are not wrong.

Add Guru, Eric B, KRS one, Jayz and Chuck D to that list and you pretty much have 80s and 90s hip hop royalty covered

(and of course you have to throw in Tupac and Biggie - i was never a huge fan of either, always thought Tupac was over rated, but perhaps that was more about being a teenager and and being quick to rush to judgment. I have been listening to Biggie a bit lately and revaluating that opinion - i like his pace and flow)

One the modern hip hop front Kendrick Lamer is an out an out genius and has already taken his place in hip hop royalty.

And i love Dave, an English rapper with brilliant flow, and deeply personal affecting lyrics (engorged onion, his break out album is called Psychodrama and is all about issues he explored with a therapist). Takes element of drill (production vibe mainly), some of the aesthetics of trip hop (pace mainly), a really interesting perspective and a brilliant rapping voice and mix them into a fantastic package.

My son is crazy into drill (having been schooled on hip hop from a young age), and whilst i like some of it, it is so relentlessly negative and bleak it is boring to listen to all the time.

Dave, who he put me onto is just about the only modern act we both really like - though i actually also really like Sheff G, another artist he put me onto.

Well I’m a fan of Mario Lanza - not sure what that will add to the conversation though .

was he hip hop or black metal, uncle?

I hated Tupac when I was younger but really like him now though I prefer his earlier stuff (2Pacalypse Now my favourite album) - he still has some great stuff later on but got too caught up in the East/West gangster rubbish.

Agree on Kendrick, haven't heard of Dave will have to give him a listen.

I think Mario Lanza fans are more likely to be the hip op generation rather than hip hop.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
