Iwould like to report gross overuse of the words “banging” and “bangers” in this thread. I fear that the problem will spread like a virus to other threads and even the sports board by which time we may require a lockdown.
Go hard and go early please mods. Isolation of the perpetrators is the only way.It’s fine when appropriate. Midnight Oil qualify. Take your gripes to the Grumpy Old Man thread. Cheers.
Ah, so it’s age appropriate language that only you young people understand?
That must be why it’s so cringey

Back to live music on the weekend
Went and saw Bernard Fanning play a gig up here. He's bloody good performer, and still a hell of a singer. Only played one Powderfinger song, which i am sure disappointed half of his audience. It must be tough for a bloke like that, who has a lot of solo stuff, that is really quite good, but you know most people are there because of your last band and their music
This was a song i didn't know that sounded fucking good live
Really nice to see live music again

I've seen Midnight Oil from intimate acoustic sets to large outdoor festivals and I can't think of many better pub bands. Politics aside, they just rocked live.

@antipodean I've heard that so many times, which is why I'm so gutted I can't take the lad. Would love to show him a classic Aussie band that knows how to deliver live

I see that Crowded House are still marketed as Australian with one less Aussie in the band now. At the moment it's really Neil Finn and sons.
It was the inclusion of SplitEnz that really got to me...!!!

I'm too dumb and/or disinterested to really pay attention to what they sing about.....but yeah, they just rock. Would love to see them live. I think these are my three favourite songs of theirs.

Blue Sky Mine is a fucking brilliant track

I've still got a 45 of this, but no turntable.
Jimmy Barnes was the support act for ZZ Top when I saw them in 1987. Michael Hutchence was a surprise guest so they could sing this song.

I thing shaming for listening to 80s Rod is quite valid. Deserved even.
The production in that is painfully 80s.Late 60s and early 70s Rod is awesome. I can even tolerate his American songbook stuff simply because he has a good voice but when the voice is dialled down behind Simmonds drums and synth bass? That’s just awful
-
Finally ( after literally years ) reading Scar tissue by Anthony Keidis. In between quite self indulgent tales of rooting and drug use there’s obviously a bit about the music, I’m up to when they produced their first album and how he was annoyed at how ‘poppy’ it sounded as opposed to when they played the songs live. I agree with him although find it a bit ironic given what they turned into later on.
