2017 AFL Grand Final entertainment , The Killers ?

[The 747]

The Killers are just another silverchair or kings of leon. Get a band with some songs that aren't all the same. Maybe like King Crimson.

Mike Patton from the band Phantom Ass invented that whole scream into a cup instead of a microphone thing. Just get Patton instead he is a lot better.

Amusing to think what Patton would do at a GF gig. I would find it funny, the crowd wouldn't.

Aaah Mike Brady, now this is entertainment

 

[Sea fog]

Up there Cazaly is so much more relevant to the day.

 

[Pessimistic]

You take the AFL gig, social media hate guaranteed

 

[seanoff]

Wasn’t much wrong with that set. They were very good.

“You can’t please all of the people all of the time”

 

[Power Raid]

how about just have kids footy before the big game next year. The sound systems can't support live music

Haha I reckon Faith No More could go alright to be honest!

Fantomas or Mr Bungle might be a bit out there...

I said earlier in the thread that The Killers were a good get, anyone that's seen them play live before know how good they are and they delivered today.

The Oils cover was a stroke of genius.

After so many blunders, especially under Vlad who wanted to relive his youth from the 70s with the likes of Meatloaf the AFL finally got it right this year.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

As a general rule, I'd rather Australian acts for an Australian day (no pre-match "entertainment"), but The Killers did a good job of a tough gig IMO.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

they were awesome. if they ended their performance with human it wouldve been another level of great

 

[Dixie Normous]

Singer looked like Robbie Gray in one of his Port B&F jackets

The Killers are too Triple J for my taste but they were decent - would much prefer Melvins or Dillenger Escape Plan

 

[seysearles]

Mormon rock. Sweet jesus!

 

[Prestigerrycomo]

Killers were great best entertainment since Lionel Ritchie imo

 

[flamethrower]

The Killers were brilliant as expected - great live band.

 

[PHX]

The AFL nailed it. Killers were great.

Dillinger*

"insert name of awesome band that noone knows and have no chance of playing to 100000 people"

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Holy s**t, Riewoldt singing with The Killers! lol

 

[Plugger35]

The highlight of the day for mine.



Everyone was complaining about how The Killers didn't care about the AFL GF or Australia in general and then they rolled out a Midnight Oil cover.

Massive blindside.

Respect.

 

[Kick It 2 Me]

The Oils cover was a stroke of genius.

Agreed.

 

[Plugger35]

I've always said Blue Sky Mining is the Oils best album and The Killers confirmed it today.

 

[pOleK]

Absolutely love the video of Riewoldt smashed (with emotion or a few drinks you be the judge) singing Mr. Brightside

 

[underthestars]

weren't the worst midnight oil cover band i've seen, but chose a lot of songs the oils never deemed worthy of releasing.

 

[Orange Agent]

Jack Reiwoldt best on ground. What a champ.

 

[t_94]

I thought they were great. I mean their best is a fair way behind them now and Brandon certainly wears his heart on his sleeve but I find that endearing.

I find a lot of well made 'indie' music these days - for want of a better term - fits easily and pleasantly in to the background to the point of being too washed out. Like being at party and talking to a girl you're really keen on but you're afraid to really go for it for fear of rejection. It's good to see them still striving to make those anthemic songs.

 

[Captain Morgan]

At the the ground today, the killers rocked it.
