Yeah, they should get some 80s rockers....that would kick @$$

Maybe some Poison, some Bon Jovi - with the mullets though - not this pretty boy 90s stuff!

Seriously though, they need to stop thinking that they're in the 1970s and get some fresh talent.....get Powderfinger or something, anything but freakin Meatloaf

Grinspoon,

now they rocked at the State of Origin, you need someone with attitude to get us pumped up before a big game. Meatloaf is usless and too soft for this sort of event.

Meatloaf too soft?

This is the man who belted out Bat out of Hell!

That song at a Grand Final would surely rock. As long as the Hoodoo Gurus are also performing I don't see what the problem is. The more the merrier I say.

I must add that I might be a little bias. Bat out of Hell is one of my favourite songs of all time.

Cheers.

Bat out of hell is the worst song ever, and why waste your money on someone like meatloaf. I hope someone pulls the plug on Meatloaf like Billy Idol last year.

I doubt they would have the Gurus now that Meatloaf is playing. Honestly whose the idiot that came up with that idea.

Thats my opinion

Meatloaf, Gurus, and someone from American Idol is who I read are 'entertaining' us at the GF.

As long as there are no power problems, it should be an improvement on last year :lol:

If he is in town ill regrefully have to volunteer myself as a decoy to keep him as far away from the Grand Final as i can, for the greater good!


Lets get Metallica out here a few months early, they can use it to help drum up sales for their tour and the Big Day Out (oops did i leak that info out?).

Meatloaf
Kelly Clarkson (winner of American Idol)
Hoodoo Gurus

Those 3 are performing. Great that they have Meatloaf. One of my favourite singers.

Meatloaf would be a better choice for GF entertainment. Robbie Williams? Thats more a twinkie twig Union entertainment.

In reality, there is only one entertainer to get for the GF. OZZY OSBOURNE! I'd love to see him bite the head off Gordon Tallis!

Imagine Ozzy screaming to 80 000 people 'LETS GET F*CKIN' CRAZY" and ripping into "Never Know Why"or "Rock n Roll Rebel"

once again they should look at the afl

pre game entertainment should focus on the clubs

eg have alll the jerseys of the clubs around the ground etc

have all the team songs

have some players from each club etc etc

I'm pleasantly surprised. That's a good answer.

I thought you'd recommend some smoove rnb.

Metallica being at BDO is old news.

I read somewhere Powderfinger or Silverchair were going to be there, but I doubt that. I think Powderfingers tour starts around the same time as the GF in Europe and who knows about Silverchair? Robbie won't be in the country until December.

Why the hell do we want another bloody pop princess from America, sheesh. "Oooo Australia, lets mime along to a sugary sweet song, that will get you pumped for the big game!" Hoodoo Gurus should be a given really since they wrote the theme song. And Meatloaf? Well it's better than the Idol chick.

I'd luv to see Grinspoon there!

Yeah i no i no but??....Bat out of Hell is cool song.....and the guitar solo is legendary!!!

I agree with Misty let's get Ozzy out......that would be gold!! :lol:

Hey Misty let's get Ronnie James Dio out.....imagine people actually getting to listen to this bloke sing....he would blow them away.....get him to play " Holy Diver" :D

Motely Crue singing "Kick start my heart" would also be a good choice also!!

Meatloaf! :roll: I mean really. It astounds me how out of touch with the times the NRL marketing team really are. Ok, 'Bat Out of Hell' is a classic song but jeez, it's so not appropriate and yesterday, or actually, yesterdecade. The Guru's deserve to be there because they wrote the 'Thats My Team' song and they're just a great Oz rock band. Grinspoon were kick arse at SOO and they should get them back. Get more Oz talent up there instead of dragging out washed up yanks and poms who are wel and truely passed their prime. Powderfinger would be bloody awesome too. Surely we can do better than Meatloaf & some pop star from a bloody TV show no one gives a rats about! :twisted:

Umm the Eighties finished about 15 years ago. If you want to attract new fans to the game then geriatric music is hardly going to achieve that goal. Why can't they get a decent modern band.

Maybe if there where decent modern bands we wouldn't have to go back to the 80's or 70's!!

Who's Powder Finger or Grinspoon???......if i where watching the game in England i'd say" who the f@#$ are they"....that's why we need a band that appeals all over the world....not just in Australia!!

ACDC would be more appropriate choice for an Oz band who has world wide appeal!!
