ROCK ‘n’ roll and rugby league are back with this year’s NRL grand final day set to be headlined by a Hall of Fame guitarist and a Grammy award winning band.

The Sunday Telegraph can reveal the NRL are planning to announce popular US band Train and Slash, the former lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses, as the pre-game entertainment for the October 5 decider at ANZ Stadium.

Train, whose hits include Drops of Jupiter and Hey Soul Sister scored the US rock act three Grammy awards, will also release their seventh album next week.

The announcement of Slash to the grand final day entertainment is an obvious fit with his sizzling solo work providing the theme music for Nine’s NRL finals coverage.

The arrival of both rock acts underlines a week-long celebration ahead of the grand final, with details for fans set to be announced by the NRL in coming days.

My bad, but to be fair that article just popped up, smh missed the scoop obviously.

 

[God-King Dean]

Thank god it's not another Channel 9 promotion, or a band only bogans like.

 

[Twizzle]

so to summarize, a guitarist from an 80s hair band who most people probably haven't heard of and the rest of the band who no one has ever heard of

great scoop for NRL fans

you'd prefer Tom Jones?

 

[GongPanther]

Too bad the Channel Nine viewers won't see it.

If I'm not mistaken,they tend to yap on about what we have already witnessed then go for extended commercial breaks which leads no time for Slush to be seen.

But I suppose it's better than having a singer from one of those singing reality shows singing "I still call Owsdtraaahlia,home"

According to twizzle, Jones would be some Welsh nuffie who was famous in the 60s, and ONJ was a one hit fitness instructor!

 

[Walt Flanigan]

A step up IMO

 

[Martin Bella's Luvhandles]

I'll be busy smashing cans so don't care

 

[Matchball]

Great, now I'm singing sweet child o'mine in my head.
Thanks.

 

[BlueandGold]

I would rather Slash then Tom Jones at a GF......................

Most people haven't heard of GNR?

:crazy:

 

[Wizardman]

.....entertaining the bogans.

 

[Brutus]

Gotta keep the bogans happy I suppose.

 

[elbusto]

Always good to see the lads whinging about something new. Slash will be great. ANd he won't sing Delilah!

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

I think most people would recognise the songs...

Hopefully the do at least a few classics rather than JUST promote a new album

Train suck and I would hardly describe them as Rock.

Slash is a good get.

some of them aren't happy unless they're complaining

Cumberland Tosser will probably be along soon

Haha me too. Excellent guitar riff

Train is rock. Just a little known genre called crap rock.
