Opinion Match Day Entertainment (Coldplay sucks)

[Wizard]

One of the most famous musicians in the world wrote this for us.... We're like "thanks, we'll take a look...we'll see if we can squeeze this in amongst Coldplay"

Don't we use that a three quarter time?

 

[rubydoomsday]

as a musician of way too many years, i don't think debates about personal taste are particularly useful or relevant, so i'll keep my personal opinion of Coldplay to myself...

having said that, they're not really a band that projects 'strength' are they? bit soft for me (not that our song has to be 'hard' per se).

the Coldplay crap risks 'trying to make fetch happen' like that cringe Never Tear Us Apart shit Pear do.

they wanna be Liverpool with You Never Walk Alone, so bad. the locals may love it, but YNWA has respect from those outside the club because it's baked into the club's identity/history. Coldplay/Never Tear Us Apart feels like marketing departments w/ too much time on their hands

the things that solidify a club identity come from the fan base. not marketing departments.

no marketer will ever come up with a 'club anthem' that takes.

100% spot on.

Keep it simple is the answer IMO.

Rock and Anchor before the game.
Tame Impala at 3QT
ACDC after a win.

I don't mind Coldplay - got a couple of their albums. Their music however does not suit a footy audience. I wish the club would stop this fascination with trying to turn us into a soccer club - port have ruined INXS. It is the most manufactured shite to watch.

They should just play the riff from God’s My Pal after a goal

NOW we're talking!

though you couldn't really get a band more associated with Melbourne.

At least they’re Aussies. Just play it until the drums kick in.

 

[Cam Payne]

Last Quokka would get us up and about.

 

[Cesoir]

I'd like to see the Sepultura cover of "Take me Home Country Road" played after every goal.

Beautiful idea

truly an anthem from the team to the Dockers faithul...

"You're my only friend/you don't even like me"

Ha ha on the flipside, imagine 60k people singing that at the ground

 

[Gimme the Fyfe]

Should play 'Big Balls' by AC/DC

 

[King Huskii]

Should play 'Big Balls' by AC/DC

Unfortunately that will offend someone and the complaints will stop it

 

[rubydoomsday]

Should play 'Big Balls' by AC/DC

'Big Balls' would probably sound better coming from those who could move it with skill a little better...

a pivot to 'Dirty Deeds' and a coach with a bit more 'mongrel' i could get behind

but now i'm blending a couple of different threads, soz

 

[stax on the mull]

Why can't they just use the verse from the club song.

We're the rollers, we're the rockers,
We're the mighty Freo Dockers.
We're gonna roll them and we'll rock em,
We're gonna send them to the bottom

That's all you need. The AFL women show how it's sung properly.

Pretty easy. Don't even have to manufacture anything it's already in the DNA

 

[Pusswah]

Yeah this shit's got to go.

Like letting the air out of a balloon after the Voss/Bruce goal.

 

[mightymouse75]

If I was king a real king.
Not Kerry King.

 

[Ruby Docker]

Cold Play are just too vanilla and such a safe choice.

The home town of so many great bands and musicians that know the game, and that is the best they can come up with?

 

[88mph]

Still playing it.

Still sucks.

 

[The Round House Drunk]

I really can’t get behind that version of Come Together. Sounds terrible in the stadium.

Change it back FFS.

 

[King Tenz]

Still playing it.

Still sucks.

Don't understand why we don't just let the players pick a song to be played after they kick a goal.

 

[south beach]

Wish they would sing the full song after a win the verse is great and makes sense. Just repeating the first bit never seemed right

 

[Achin joints]

Shit on the liver by King Parrot , that would be cool
