A performance like this would be better than the game itself. Treat yourself to 9 of the best minutes of your life.
The duelling penises ... I mean guitar licks ... at the start; the mamby pamby little jog down the aisle; ... the topless drummer all sweaty and shiny... a song about idolising and or perving at other man folk ....
Not just a little on the homo-erotic side of things??
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Each to their own Gill, but 3 mins was well enough. And it's three I'll never get it back...
It's called entertainment you miserable so-and-so. Great to see top-flight muso's doing instrumental solo's again.
I guess if you're so inscure in your own, errrrm, preferences, that you can't enjoy it, well it's your loss.
Not just a little defensive and humourless there, chief?
Or should I just like what you like so my friends think I rock hard.

Would have thought tin ears is what you wind up with for listening to that over-hyped white noise.
I simply don't understand FF's musical relevance beyond a commerciality gleaned from one band member's fortuitous proximity to a genuine musical 'landmark'. I can't even come close to forming a notion of what their legacy may be. If in fact there is one.
I kinda feel sorry for the young folk. For all the talk of choice like never before, choice - by virtue of shrinking record co budgets being lumped on but a few - is horribly limited. It's like with Pete Murray here now and how it was for a while with bloody Powderfinger. How much coin was lumped in their marketing budgets at the expense of others more than worthy?
As for FF, it all seems like high energy tonelessness for folks who haven't taken enough time to investigate and source their musical roots.
Or who haven't yet discovered Wilco.
All IMO non-music loving opinion of course.

Hey Pat..why dont you contact the Club about Lloyd playing at the B&F next year?
Not sure if Dan Sultan (who sung this yer) is a Saints fan, but the year I went they had Billy Miler, Rebecca Barnard and Mick Thomas all play...so sounds like they do give some preference to Saints fan artists

Good idea mate.Will ask Lloyd if he is interested first but being the saints tragic that he is I would say he would jump at it...part of the deal would be his unofficial promoter get a ticket as well

Wilco? Um ok. Seems to me you just aren't into rock music,and that's ok. FF's have quite a diverse catalogue within the boundaries of their "thing". Starting at solo acoustic guitar/vocal ballads I'm sure you have never heard. Oh well,at least you follow a decent football team :O).

You think Wilco aren't a rock band?
No more questions, your honour. The prosecution rests.

My friend Lloyd who is a bleeding red,white and black die hard sainter ...sitting with him and his son Riley with at the Melbourne game this year...went to both Grand finals last year as well.Should at least be playing at the B&F next year...might have to start a campaign
Saint Patrick,
I thought I'd send you a PM rather than post and be dragged into some slagging match with some idiot on SS who wouldn't know a guitar from tuba.
Anyway I am deeply indebted to you. I had never heard of Lloyd before. He is absolutely fantastic! I'm a blues guitarist myself and so I am very aware of the extent of his musicianship. He is off the charts good. One of the best I've ever seen.

Nope, couldn't give a crap waht your friends like, FF aren't even my thing, into metal in a big way myself, but they sure beat the crap outta the production line, X factor sponsored pop vomit so eagerly gobbled up these days. At least this is actual muso's that can play instruments and there's a big crowd at a live gig having a good time. Beats the daylights out of a lot of the alternatives, whose greatest strength is their marketing.

Many thanks again.

How about that. Another blues guitarist. Mind you I'm still figuring out how to make the strings stick to the brass of my tuba and all so playing's hard...

Isn't extraordinary how one little innocent deviation from what the majority reckon is mainstream (and therefore ace as) turns into a little lynching.
No wonder the AFL get Meatloaf.
Veer off the safety main road and there's too many ruffled feathers.

Exactly.
People often unfavourably compare the AFL Grand Final entertainment to that of the NFL or ARL. The latter also use very mainstream acts. It's just that those comps, particularly the NFL, use mainstream acts at the very top of their game.
Look at the demographics of those attending or watching the GF and tell me that some "cool" band from the Corner Hotel would be met with universal approval.

Exactly...Tim Rogers preceeded Meatloaf, but got no TV coverage and Im sure 80% of the people at the ground had no idea how much he has contributed to Australian music. He was awesome

Are you sure you're not just being an arsehole? Perhaps I read it wrongly.
At any rate it's fair enough not to like the FF for whatever reasons, but your contempt for those that do like them is almost homo-erotic!
And Patrick well done! You have alerted at least one person here as to the musical joy of listening to Lloyd, and if Steve continues to spread the word then who knows how many might be turned on.
Lloyd Speigal would be perfect to play at the AFL GF. Solo artists are much easier to capture and therefore project, and no doubt the quality of performance would be outstanding. The problem for the AFL is being BRAVE enough to use a relative unknown for such a special occasion, where in the past they have relied on the big name artist as a trophy to parade and pat themselves on the back with.

Pretty sure I put IMO in all my posts and suggested 'each to their own' in one as well.
If I want to mount an argument for against something, I will.
Fair dinkum. Welcome to SS 2011/12. Throw grenades all you like. Just make sure they're the kind most people like.
Anyhow, back to football. Alright with you if I post about that Satchmo? Maybe PM me a list of the s*** you believe in so I'll be sure not to tread on your toes when I form my nice cosy safe views down the track.
Sheesh...This place sometimes...
