Banter TRTTT Part 16 - How good are fingerless gloves

[edgie]

You are thinking like an American AC/DC fan. Far-k-wits didn't know shit until H2H.

Yes

Those Americans are unfortunately where the money is

 

[edgie]

I too was "brought up with less privilege" but you don't see me go on about it, also I was taking the piss, sorry you took it personally

No you aren't

Hows the bloke who tackled one of the gunman and took the rifle off him? Crazy brave.

Proving yet again that not all heroes wear capes.

Looked like he's had training doing that, he knew exactly the right technique. Most people (that don't understandably run) would have probably just went for a big crash tackle

It is however I think you'd be surprised at how many multi-millionaire australian artists there are that have never gained traction in the US. It's not the be-all end-all & they are quite late to party & frankly dumb when it comes to global music.

Not disagreeing with any of that.

The entire point of Highway to Hell - Back in Black was to refine the sound to break them in the US.

It worked. No matter what anyone thinks of it, it worked.

The guy who got disarmed walked off and picked up another gun on the bridge

Dude should have shot him but doing so would have made him a police target and likely he gets shot too so its tough right.

I don't think it's as simple as that they trod the boards in the states for quite awhile before H2H it was a build, Cold Chisel for example were the complete opposite they had no appetite to put the work in & gave up after 3 weeks.

It was both

They put the time in on the road but the music was still not considered polished enough for mainstream rock radio

That American record label didn't want another album with Vanda/young producing. They wanted a big name American producer.

That 'polish' is what turns people off those 80's albums tbh then you have american musicians that are more drawn to the Vanda/Young sound. I mean it's a double edge thing for instance I prefer Bleach & In Utero to Nevermind because it's too slick and over-produced.

Sky News responding in the calm, measured and nuanced way you’d expect.

 

[Grave Danger]

A.I. Bot reporting...


Officers are also looking into how did the gunmen got here and where their car.

 

[Doctor Feel]

I also saw that one of the rifles was "scooped" according to the media.

christmas has come early for them

 

[PatientMental]

Im sure people are going to be totally normal about this

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Heroic indeed.

 

[JimmyBC]

What's normal?

 

[Doctor Feel]

What's normal?

First up it will be universal condemnation, then a few weeks later it will be made into political football for all sides of the spectrum while nothing changes and nothing gets settled, while the government and opposition across the board just continues on its merry way spending our money on themselves and driving inflation while contributing nothing to the worst issues in the world.

It's all very tiresome.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

The world we live in

 

[Visenfest]

Hatred breeds more hatred breeds more hatred.

Nothing good will come of this. Rednecks and Neo-Nazi's will get worse because of it, and potentially violently target members of immigrant communities. Which will then stir up extremist elements of those communities to respond in kind. And it becomes tit for tat.

The whole thing is just sad.

A Kiwi ABC senior reporter at Bondi Beach. Been home away from home for Kiwi's the last 50+ years.

No wonder NZ PM in his short statement said - ..... I am shocked by the distressing scenes at Bondi, a place Kiwis visit everyday. .........

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Pity the bloke who tackled one of the gunmen, didn't put a bullet up his arse. Looks like he had the opportunity to do so.

 

[SC_Power]

Great questions at the presser by who I assume is a Fox News reporter.

“commissioner, how did you miss this?”

Always gotta have someone to blame

I guess thank **** we aren't America with this happening once a week.
