Backfire How is Robbie Williams working out for you... Gill?

[brett15]

Gill should never be incharge of organising any event ever. AFL-X, Meat Loaf, having a grand final parade in a dirty river where you cant even see anyone... now Robbie Williams who is some incredibly old and boring musician. He will choke and be horrible like meatloaf. AFL cant give Tasmania millions of dollars but they can give it to some guy who is only relevant to old boomers!

I agree we should have ex-players do the GF entertainment, ie.. Shane Crawford, Nathan G Brown, Buckley and someone who can SING that is an aussie like Delta Goodrem

*but heck if we want real international talent that's ageless then get someone like Bon Jovi, Tracy Chapman or anything that is QUEEN

Bowie has a terrible voice. You cant go posting about quality voices, which you had a point by the way, and then revert to bowie. Even in his prime his voice was terrible. He may have some good songs but his voice is weak.

That's from his last record at the age of 69

Poster said it was his best song.

but its also true of his earlier stuff too. Great musician but his voice was always his weakness.

Is there any subject you can’t be sanctimonious about?

You can add in hypocritical as well.

Bowie was also a plonker who slept with underage girls.

Starting to be concerned at the OP's liking of Musicians with immoral/unsavoury personal lives.

Next she will be suggesting Marilyn Manson to headline next year's Granny.

I thought Robbie was great for it, hoping we get someone like Springsteen, Bon Jovi or Bryan Adams next year.

Bryan Adams did it in 2015

Just get Angry Anderson and a new AFL Angrymobile again.

I think it would be uncommon for a person to like every single thing that a musician has ever done! Some bands/artists I might only like one or two songs, or the ones I like a lot I might like 90% of their stuff, but I don't think I like 100% of any music! It's different than books.

correct, music is different from books.

I think it is. I am not a Bowie fan, but that song and a few others are pretty good.

We could also not worrie about singers and get Joshua Bell to perform at the Grand Final! Imagine this lighting up the MCG!

Is Michael Flatley still kicking?

We already had Bryan Adams.

Better than ****ing Birds of Tokyo before the 2013 GF. Legit fell asleep while they were droning on with that shithouse Lanterns song, and I was at the ground FFS.

 

[Hawker_85]

Was there a post game concert at the G yesterday? Or does the AFL only do it when Richmond win?

There was in 2015, maybe it only gets media coverage when a player gets up there with the band and makes a berk of himself.

 

[Jazny]

This guy's reaction that I time stamped makes me feel happy that some people enjoyed Robbie Williams, even if I think they shouldn't have! Is it BloodRet ?



I think Geelong ruined the rest of his day.. poor guy

Backfire this thread please mods. Robbie Williams is the GOAT!

Boomers grew up to Led Zep and Floyd.
Milton's grow up to one button meth dance music.

A few degenerates with their reefer, flared pants and long playing records, maybe.
The real Boomers were getting up early to stand in line at the bank and pay their mortgages.

 

[Roogene]

Gill is a big fan of this

Louis Armstrong says hi. So does Bob Dylan.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Mark Knopfler too. Average vocals, but an incredible songwriter and guitarist.

 

[Laphroaig]

Jummy Durante.

Great music requires only of the voice that it carries the character of the music in just the right way. Part of which, but not all, is a product of the writing and composing.

Power, clarity and prettiness of voice are not essential at all.

Just as it is easy, with a little thought, to list "poor" voices which carry great songs to perfection; it is also not difficult to list marvelous voices that produce nothing but fluffy rubbish. Celine Dion springs to mind.
