INXS to perform AFL GF Pre-Game Entertainment

[WinmarToLockett]

All I wish to say on this matter is that if I ever see Andrew Demitriou I am going to punch him in the face.

INXS are ****ing terrible. Washed up hacks. Do not want.

How about a Melbourne band who actually follow football, The Living End are currently relevant and give a shit about football.

Re: INXS playing at the Grand Final

INXS are a relic from the past and should've disbanded when Hutchence died. Why can't they get a very good local band like Jet back to perform like they did in 2007.

Maybe we can bring back John Lennon and George Harrison and reform the Beatles.
Would that be good enough?
It is after all a football game and that is what everyone is going for.

Re: INXS playing at the Grand Final

Is anyone actually interested in the pre game entertainment?

Seriously, if I'm at the game I will still get there not long before the opening bounce and if I'm not, I'll be drinking, smoking, eating etc with my mates until the ball is bounced.

I'll be doing what I normally do.

Getting there as close to the first bounce as possible.

WTF at these two replies.

Who cares about the pre game stuff anyway? I don't remember who they had last year.

As long as they don't have Kath and Kim there again I'm happy.

I'm going to avoid writing 'LOL' but it is very appropriate at this time. I'm not a fan of either but they are both definitely in the same boat.

Presets.

For starters, the 21st century. Or to the thousands and thousands of people who'll see the band and wonder "who the fck are they?" and "why are we being forced to listen to this shite?"

How can you take in any way seriously a band that finds through singer on an American reality TV show?

They're a bad joke, a self-parody. Kirk Pengilly is more at home these days hob-nobbing it in racing carnival marquees or at fashion parades. Rock'n'heckin''roll, maaaan. Lick my bag!

Well I guess it does come down to personal choice in music. So who would you have, Kings of Leon? Muse? I bet you would have more people from the broad public saying "who the hell are they" than for INXS.

So, anyway, who would you have playing at the GF? A realistic option, not U2 or someone huge like that.

I would like to see Nick Cave and the bad seeds

I fricken hate INXS.

Better than some of the crap they've dished up in recent years (Michael Buble comes to mind) - but they'd may as well hire a tribute band. INXS died in 1997.

These guys are from Melbourne and do a much better INXS than INXS.

They should can all the bullshit "entertainment". Play the VFL grand final, have a 30min break and then play the grand final. I'm still shaking my head at the bastardised versions of the Hawthorn & Geelong club songs from 2008 (and the ****ers player it after the game as well).

Absolutely ridiculous idea. Some people go every week to support the VFL comp and you want to take away their right to attend it's grand final, just so a stadium full of people who couldn't give a shit about the game can ignore it instead of some band? Great way to kill it off.

Re: INXS playing at the Grand Final

Powderfinger? Coldplay? Are there any other bands out there that could put a person to sleep faster than these two? I can't believe what I'm reading. INXS are fine (Especially when compared to the other suggestions here)

So Ben Cousins gets prime time TV but the AFL have hired INXS with JD Fortune singing the guy they sacked for drug use. Yes he is on the record of having a substance abuse problem which led to his axing !!!!!! So all the kiddies will hear an on the record drug abuser sing to them!!!!!
