Bon Jovi 2018 AFL Grand Final entertainment ? Black Eyed Peas confirmed.

[ERead]

Not to be parochial (no, actually, to be parochial), they should have Australian acts.

Particularly acts that aren't yet famous.

 

[longsuffreosupp]

I guess it's now or never, they ain't gonna live forever..

 

[JackFlash]

No matter who they get, footy fans won't be satisfied.

 

[Damon_3388]

Please, AFL spend the money on John Mayer

The average person doesn't care about his guitar wank, and his hit singles which don't really display his full talents were pretty forgettable and like 15 years ago.

rumored on Sen Bon Jovi will be the Grand Final entertainment act

Fantastic! Always wanted to see them live!

 

[peternorth]

They want you in their arms tonight

Nathan Jones to get on stage and sing?

 

[citizen-erased]

They should be ok.

They’ll play their part, then they’ll play the game.

well done.

not the worst option.
recognisable songs. anthemic and stadium suited.

keep the catalogue to slippery when wet and should be an ok show.
better than Ed Sheeran. or when we had Killing Heidi in 2001

problem is, a lot of local acts these days (the ones established enough to be on a bill this size and play the venue) don't play music that suits an arena this size.

The Killers were good for this reason.
As was Lionel. And meatloaf would have been had his singing not been so....off.

Bon Jovi ticks all the boxes
Safe enough. Recognisable hits. Stadium rock band.

 

[Mr Cashie]

Gonna be awkward as **** when someone from the winning team gets on stage to do a duet of Bed of Roses.

Been there, done that. Karaoke in Asia.

 

[Blackhawk42]

After the success of The Killers I'm surprised it isn't a more modern act, like a Fall Out Boy or something. They have enough mainstream hits, recognition and sport-anthems plus they appeal to the younger audience. But at the end of the day, in AFL the sport is the entertainment so it really isn't ever a big deal who plays.

 

[Mr Cashie]

Looking back, it was so cringeworthy hearing girls at school singing Guy Sebastion’s Winning song the next day

 

[Altum Volantes]

The question still remains...on what planet does anybody actually think this is required?

I mean...nobody there is going for the pre match entertainment and nobody at home is tuning in to watch Bon Jovi run through a medley of 30 year old pop rock.

If they didn’t have an act one year would anyone notice or care at all?

Killing Heidi wasn’t a terrible option at the time

I was pulling for the Arctic Monkeys. Same general era as the Killers, recent album release, classic songs. Plenty of 'big game' experience given they did the Olympics Opening Ceremony back in 2012. Would have been perfect.

The difference between The Killers and Fall Out Boy is that The Killers are actually good.

Dghhuurr don't kickstart your hearts too early guys, let's have just a little Patience otherwise we might as well Jump to conclusions.

They killed Heidi !

 

[citizen-erased]

Killing Heidi wasn’t a terrible option at the time

i dont know. on the day they were pretty terrible.
i get your point though. Seemed like a good choice, but didn't really execute well.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

The last time Jon Bon Jovi could hit a high note Carlton were relevant

 

[Toump Ass]

Would be the best ever but no way the AFL will pay him what he want's.

Would be very surprised if he was interested in miming to a handful of songs for a grand final in a sport he's never heard of.

 

[Simon_Says]

Actually i resend my previous remark.
We need Coldplay. They are relevant

 

[wally funk]

Can definitely see Bon Jovi putting on a decent show. Have they done the NRL GF in the past?

 

[Rod Stroker]

I'd be ok with Bon Jovi. Coldplay too.

But at some point they'll just get it over with and have Triple M's own Foo Fighters playing at the MCGuire stadium on Grand Final day.
