Yep, it's weird that I topo find state cricket the most desirable to watch. Even when we play the 20/20 at the end of summer - Aust vs England, I probably won't bother. That said, I follow the renegades

Yeah, but the whole tennis star thing was pretty fucking funny. I mean I really don't care for tennis much. Even test cricket I tend to follow the scores. But the Aussie Open will be over before I have any idea who won, nor care. It was fun to watch the news go ape shit. The Ch7 newsreaders leaked video calling Novax an asshole, Facebook feed full of people throwing their opinions around. It was good for a laff, kinda sad it's all over.

Um, this is a great album. Loving it.

Viruses are strang things. But in the end, they want to live. They see that if they are too aggressive, they kill their host, which is not good for them. Tghey now know that vaccines are around that hinder their spreading. So they find a way to spread more easily without killing their host (and themselves) It will be more like a flu soon enough, when they find a way to keep on perpetuating they virus and efectively living with human, just like the flu. Omicron about to downturn now. I'm hoping I don't regret not getting this mild one.

No doubt Australia is the idiot looking at the bigger picture. But we are lookinga t the picture that is being faced withing that idiotic big picture. Would piss me off if they weren't consistent. And like I said, it's not just Australia here. try travelling to most countiers without being double jabbed and you won't get far. No doubt we've made a fucking mess of everything (IN MY OPINION) Mandatory vaccinations, not allowing for those who have natural immunities from having had covid, perspex screens, wiping down self checkouts, fucking masks everywhere. I could do without it all. Easy to say in hindsight, but I'm now acting with foresight taht most of the rules in place are a waste of time, so have stopped wearing masks, checking in etc. Fuck 'em. But I'm not a fool, I csarry a mask and will put it on if I think I'm gonna be in trouble. But now we live under these shitty rules they have to stick to them or it just becomes more of a mess. And that is now reflected with Novax Djokovic about to board a plane hiome after 3 judges upheld his visa cancellation. Love the footage of his smirking family celebrating a few days ago now lol

One daysers a re a nothing, will be the first to go. Yesys may n ot last either. I never learnt to appreciate them and was never prepared to waste 5 days watching. I stay in tough with what's going on, but if it wasn't there, I wouldn't miss it.

To be fair, we set rules (rightly or wrongly) that you need to be double vaxxed to come to Australia. Certainly not the only country with that rule. Add to that he has been out and about while covid positive before, and also that he admitted to lies on his visa application, and there is no way he'd make it in if he was any regular guy. Pretty sure 99% of Australian's are happy to see rules apply to everyone and are would be happy to see him on a plane home.

Meh, hope it grows on me. I like Miles/Slash and other Miles stuff. His album last year was his best IMO and one of the better albums of the year.

Back in court lol I actually was hoping he'd play. Poor form for Melbourne, the sporting captial of the world.

Rule of thumb for watching test cricket - don't. Just click over to see the score every half hour and keep up with how badly England are doing. In fact England's horrific performance is the only interesting part of this series - at least there is SOMETHING interesting, unlike most years. One dayers are pretty much just as boring now that we have 20/20 The Big Bash is the only game worth watching, and the Renegades are doing average so interest in that is low as well.

I've heard of this band. Pretty sure my kids are into them, but I've never heard any of their stuff that I know of. My son said they replaced their singer and got good. Listened to some of their other stuff and it's pretty samey and average, but this song is killer.

Here's a couple better than the originals...

Nice

Nah, I reckon he ran the risk and failed. They say that the onus is on the traveller to have the correct paperwork. I've always made sure I'm 100% set when i travel to countries that have strong requirements. As for the booing, if he plays, it will be fucking funny to watch him booed every game. Even though he's just doing what he needs to do to play the game he loves (and also pays of his 10th mortgage ) I kinds hope he wins his court battle and gets in and plays, just to watch the shit show...

Thanks, saved me writing that. I'm getting my 3rd jab in 2 days. Would take more, more often if it was offered. I'm not pro vax, but I'm happy to pump that shit into me to protect me. But I have never agreed with vax mandates, except for people dealing with vulnerable and sick etc. But fuck celebrities and sports people who get a free ride because they are in the public eye. Aside from that, tennis hasn't been interesting sinve McEnroe.

His 'exemption' that was granted was from the Victorian govt and Tennis Australia. He still needed to get in to Australia, which required getting through the federally run boder. His medical exemption didn't hold up, so his visa was refused. He played the game, he lost. Probably thought he'd get in because of who he is. Everyone, tennis fans or not, are wrapt that he wasn't given special treatment.

First song posted was not for me. His cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name is killer though. 1. That song is the kind of song that really shouldn't ever be covered as it's one of those untouchables, but he pulled it off. 2. It's a fucking hard song to sing for lots of reasons, so kudos to him.

Oh....

Speaking of Andy Taylor, most of Dangerous killed the originals IMO

Was hoping rot a VH cover, instead I got bubblegum 80's pop...

Yeah I agree, I got 9 keepers off Tunguska, only 6 off Cour De Grace.

All bands are made up of members from former bands. Not sure I would class Mr Big as a supergroup. My first thought was Damn Yankees. Slash did some great stuff. Also wouldn't class Sammy Hagar's post VH groups as supergroups. Except Chickenfoot who ironically I don't rate nearly as much as the Wabos etc Sixx AM?

Weird. Don't come close to D2 stuff for me.

Agree, but not better than his Skid Row Stuff

For me DLR solo stuff shits all over anything he did with VH At the time, Live To Win was far better than anything Kiss were doing. Sammy did some kilelr stuff post VH Jimmy Barnes solo is orbably considered as good as Cold Chisel by most
