Coldplay sucks

I know people are hurting about the result today (as am I), and may not care about this.

Sorry to say it, but I immensely disliked all the changes to the game day experience or whatever it is that they call it.

New walkout song “Come Together” - I love The Beatles, but this is a bland version and very uninspiring.

Coin toss song “Hells Bells” - a good tune on it’s own, but it cuts out when the guitar kicks in and soon after is replaced by “We Will Rock You”. It’s all muddled and though it may have seemed like a good idea to someone, it really sucked.

Oh yeah and Coldplay…hated it.

Thank F we were spared Wharfie Time today (itself to be heralded by Hells Bells). It’s all too much - less is more.

If anyone from the club is reading this, please stop ruining what was already good and didn’t need changing. I’m far less inclined to drag along my kids and or mates to Freo games now.

Hells bells is a great idea but it needs to start at the coin toss and continue through to bouncedown.

**** off we will rock you, got nothing to do with Freo

I’ve noticed the atmosphere at Freo games has decreased dramatically over the last couples years.

The crowd is wanting to get behind the team so much but the game style we play just doesn’t allow it.

The Freo atmosphere used to be insane but I feel every one is just a bit meh atm. I have no doubt success will get the place rocking again.

But how I long for those days at subi when the atmosphere was just incredible.

2022 was insane, especially that elimination final when we clawed our way back from the dogs. Never heard a noise like it.

2023 and 2024 have just been deflating, 2023 we lost a load of home games also.

So we’re all agreed that Coldplay sucks and We Will Rock You belongs at the Wildcats?

Stick with AC/DC it’s the one relatively positive thing about supporting this club.

Agree with sticking with AC/DC.

If they really want to electrify the stadium go from Hells Bells into timing the start of Let There Be Rock to the opening bounce.

Also, Kevin Parker's hype song is perfect to be broken down in small parts to play after goals or just the bagpipes.
 
I can’t get to home games having moved interstate, but AC/DC was always played way too much - yes Bon Scott is from Freo, but it doesn’t mean we can only play their songs.

Did they get rid of the horrible acoustic guitar artists at 3qtr time?

Nothing worse than having a tight game and the whole energy being drained by some local artist playing wonderwall or some other low energy rubbish.

Abysmal.

Glad to see the club trying new things, sometimes you don’t know what will work until you give it a crack.

As long as you learn from your mistakes & move asap.
Never double down on your mistakes.

Honestly I prefer the player goal songs thing a lot of the other clubs roll with... I guess we don't do it because so many other clubs do (Brisbane started it), but we usually just do the same thing after every goal - it was thunderstruck and now is seemingly Coldplay and it just is repetitive and not really needed.

They had a mix of different songs after the goals. Coldplay only played a couple times

I wasn't at the ground so only going off what i heard on TV. But it sounded a lot like about 30 seconds of Hells Bells and then transitioned to We Will Rock You?

Seems pointless.......

This. AC/DC before the game, after every goal and after a win is overkill.

Yeah the we will rock you is pointless, does nothing for the atmosphere.

Hells Bells left on would build tension perfectly

Yep, that's what happened and it was beyond terrible. I thought there was some kind of glitch at first because the transition sounded rubbish, and then I realised it was intentional.

I bet there is a PC brigade in charge of this sort of thing who don't want to allow words like "hell" and "satan".

Same people probably banned us playing Purple Haze cause Jimi was on drugs. That's the only reason I can think of why we don't use what seems the most obvious song to blast out at loud volume.
