Game Day Game Day vs Swans (Stiffy's back edition)

[KiwiRoo]

The line-up is three originals - Steve Jones (guitar), Paul Cook (drums) and Glen Matlock (the actual bass player who wrote a lot of Never Mind the Bollocks not the pretender who replaced him) with Frank Carter from Grimes on vocals.

Lydon has become more campaignerish as he's got older and joined the MAGA crew and doesn't want anything to do with the Pistols - he's become a sad old man.

I'm pumped about tonight - the shows with Frank Carter have been awesome from what I've seen heard.

I saw Lydon with PiL on the Have a Rotten Christmas tour in 1984 - he a very engaging performer back then.

I saw Glen Matlock play bass with Johnny Thunders in the late 1980s.

I'm yet to see Jones and Cook but the Steve Jones guitar sound is one of my all time favourite guitar sounds and I can't wait to hear/feel that wall of sound wash over me tonight.

Steve Jones is a very under rated guitarist. Got a fantastic sound
wish i was there !

LOL at anyone thinking Luke Parker is gunna cop some treatment from the Cola's, at the very worst, maybe a little verbal from a distance by Papley, and he's injured, i'm just wondering whether he gets the respect he is due, or gets some booing, probably the latter, which will only inspire him to bring some pain.

 

[KiwiRoo]

first North game they are televising here this year..

and i have to go out.........

anyone else get the feeling that their wives have a sixth sense when it comes to scheduling social occasions to interfere with sports watching...

 

[Caracas]

You’ll be able to tell in the first 5 minutes. Clean skills, we win. Butcher it, like we always do, game over. I think we will do something new to **** this up

You mean, like last year?! How different can we get?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Parker best on

To show the swans what a mistake they made having Taylor adams on a multiple year deal but not budging on more than one year for parks

Iconic sound, very accomplished rhythm guitarist.

watched one of those Classic album docos where they did Never mind the bollocks.
Great watch and went some way to showing how good a guitarist he was

 

[Ligma]

We will win because I cannot attend

Have a great time BS. Jonesy's guitar sound is bliss. I saw the Filthy Lucre version of the Pistols at Festival Hall, and seeing The Clash there is one of my most cherished memories. Up there with 75,77,96 & 99.

One of the interesting things I learned from that doco was that after Matlock had departed, Jonesy played all the bass too. Apparently he played guitar riffs on the four strings.

traditionally punk bands are not renown for the calibre of their musicians.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

In totally unrelated news, I may park a little further away from Festering Hall than I usually do tonight!

Gah shit, great point. That’s farked my parking plan

 

[KangaRooster]

Our supporters deserve a shout this year, we’ve been very well represented in all our Vic games and I’m hoping tonight is the best of the lot.

Get there and get loud people.

 

[Benj7]

Please make it to marvel today, would love to see 25k+ there.

 

[grimface_87]

Does anyone else find the bounding roo animation with the 2 legs we use on game day at the ground really weird? Every time I see it bounding around the ground it just feels off

and i have to go out.

Fire up the VHS so you can fast forward to the good bit!!!

If you see the pr!ck who stole my pink covered copy of Never Mind the Bollocks can you please nut him for me?

There have been some extremely talented punk musicians - they just don't get the plaudits compared to some of the more "serious" musicians.

Couldn't agree more. Steve Jones is a virtuoso who had a prolific post-Pistols career as a session guitarist in LA. Topper and Mick from the Clash are right up there.

 

[Frank Thring]

Who gives a shit about Sex Pistols, take it elsewhere

 

[I Want To Believe]

Looking forward to the game today. Heading off shortly.

I have a strange sense of optimism and hope - something that's been missing for many of the games in recent years.

I'm doing my bit boys - over to you. Go Roos!

 

[Chadwiko]

Don’t think so - Pistols due on stage at 9.10 and I’ve prime standing tickets so getting there early for a good spot.

The Sex Pistols are taking the stage before 11pm?!

We used to be a real society.

 

[Chadwiko]

We're gonna win.

 

[shinboner magic]

My brother’s in town from the US and coming along to this one. Pretty sure he has a 100% record of us winning when he’s back and in attendance.

North by 10 (% tariff imposed on us by the bro’s overlords).

If we don’t win I’ll fire him from the top of the Marvel roof into Port Phillip Bay.

If we win - don’t let him leave

 

[shinboner magic]

We’ll be all over the swabs from tt get go and kick 3.7 and the swabs will go I50 4 times for as many goals
