KISS for the GF??? (2023 GF entertainment discussion)

[Exsilium]

So, again, for the slow witted amongst the LU brigade, as exemplified by the above 2 boneheads, it is not a tribute band. It is a profesional production with professional musicians and professional singers.

I noticed dumb and dumber haven't proffered any act better than this, or any at all. I know one is an afl fan who won't be watching, the other I actually thought had a little bit of intelligence.

Woah! I thought we were friends! But I accept your views.

Here’s my explanation for my off the cuff remarks. I accept it’s a legitimate group, on the theatre stage, I’m sure they are great and I’m a big fan of the musical and theatre experience but this is a couple songs on a league field. The opportunity to light it up is impacted by the type of performance they’ll have to give, in the time they can give it.

I really want them to hit the nostalgic part of me and bring the house down. It would be great sitting in the stands but for television, they’ll cut half it out and lose the impact.

No worries, I got a bit heated and carried away, you're a good egg.

You almost lost yourself a place on my Christmas card list

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

I think some of you are giving league audiences a little too much credit. Don’t forget, the Footy Show was a ratings winner for over twenty years. Tina will be a massive hit and the TV pundits will talk about it as long as they’ve talked about the ad.

 

[JamesRustle]

Of course the AFL went for Kiss.. the AFL loves a bit of blackface.

I’ll put you with the table of people who only came for bacon wrapped shrimp

There’s a reason the NRL seldomly goes for big acts like the AFL does,afl need something to add to their spectical, whereas RL doesn’t need it, it has a better product

If the job of the pre-match entertainment is to get the crowd hyped up, the cast of Tina is a sure bet. Multi-generational appeal, classic hits, and a connection to the legacy of the game.

Plus, since it’s basically a big ad for the musical there will be more budget for pyro!

 

[blue bags]

Hoodoo gurus . That's my team

That last paragraph could be said about any act they get though.

My thoughts all in this thread is:

NRL fans will watch for the game.

The entertainment should be to try and get new people watching, Macklemore was a good attempt but the vast majority didn't know his songs.

This on the otherhand. Gets particularly the older people at home tuning in. Will have most League fans singing.

The bonus for me is working with TEG Dainty. Who brings talent out, Maybe make it a permanent thing and get bigger guys coming here in Oct instead of Nov-Feb as we get now

Found him, last seen rubbing one out at your bedroom window. Who knew nail holes in the palms would come in handy...

 

[Frailty]

Is it a bit underwhelming? Yep.

But honestly, no one really cares about the entertainment.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I'm not sure who people want.

Anyone born last century they will complain that they are too old.
Anyone born this century they will complain they've never heard of them.
Anyone that hasn't played at a super bowl they will complain they're not high profile enough.
Anyone non Australian they will complain why can't we have an Australian.
Anyone who is Australian they will complain that they should have got a high profile overseas act.
Whoever they get there will b3 complaints that they don't like that genre of music
Then the usual yahoos will compare us to flogball.

I always cringe waiting for the inevitable technical malfunction
