I've always considered power ballads to kind of be like 'anthem ballads'

Federal govt is trying to have the whole country open up and live with covid WA are saying "fuck that, we're going to act as if we are a separate country"

Hello!

Hey Olli

Just sittin' around waiting for my website to upload. Listening to Roxanne's Broken Chandeliers which is a fairly positive song. So tell me something good in your life...

Yep, we can say anything we want, and it's just Aussie slang

I started really with The Skyhooks and then Kiss From there it was Twisted Sister, Maiden, Quiet Riot, etc Next up would have been Bon Jovi

Free Guy - average, poredicatable, well made.

First lockdown we had, the streets were basically a wasteland. Kind of eerie they were so empty. This time, no real discernable change, at least when I am out on the roads. Even right now, at 1am - 4 hours after curfew becan, if I walk around the corner to the main road, there is a bit of traffic. Always gonna be nurses etc on the roads, but there is more traffic than there should be.

Dare say there is a shitload of petrol in Australia. Although these days the roads aren't too far off non lockdown times. People pretty much doing what they like visiting family and friends I think...

I have the first 30 seconds of Star Eyes by Peepshow as my main ringtone at the moment.

Yeah, I'm gonna call it. We have relatively few cases compared to the rest of the world. to say our nurses etc are at breaking point is an insult to most of the nurses etc in the rest of the world. Aside from that, I don't know that they are doing longer shifts, overtime, etc. I'm sure they are working hard all day, does that mean that they weren't before? Talk about the strain of seeing covid cases etc and not letting family in to say goodbye etc, and yeah, I get it, that's tough. but from what we're hearing, shit is about to get multiple times worse when and if we ever reopen. The other day I saw a reporter on TV say to some nurses "thank you for your service" Holy fuck, what an insult to those who usually receive that comment!!!

Haha, yeah nothing we can do because we are disarmed. Yes, having a handgun would have diffused all this.... Geoff is right about WA. They are unique in that they are so secluded. And they stopped receiving overseas flights, so it wasn't all that hard to not get many cases. That said, their leader has done a good job to dare, even if he is a tosser. I'm calling it now. Melbourne will come out of lockdown later than is predicted (buy a week or rwo) when we hit 80% double vax. Then we will go back into lockdown when we get cases of unvaried and the hospital system can't handle it. Why? See below...

Actually didn't think that cover was too bad

I think Juno is permanently gone now. Haven't seen him for months.

I really don't think Aussies hate New Zealanders. More just fun jokes both ways. Aussies lay claim to pavlova, Russell Crowe, Split Enz, Phar Lap, Lamingtons which were all really from NZ Even our national flag was supposedly copied from NZ flag. I'm sure they stole some of our shit as well But NZ is an amazing place, I could seriously move there (especially now that Aus is so fucked)

Yeah, I'm with auslander Never really cared about flu shot or covid shot. Re Geoffs post, I would pump Gladys up a bit because 1. I think pretty much every leader in every country copped some shit of some sort, 2. she had to contend with endless comparisons to other state leaders and 3. she at least sounded genuine in her appreciation and thanks to her citizens. One thing she did, was to TAKE the health advise and then MAKE her own decisions taking it into consideration, but not allowing it to rule her decisions. We are about to enter week 9 of our snap 7 day lockdown lol So much harder when you are constantly lied to and played. I mean I stopped being played a year ago, but most still believe what they hear... today we had fewer new cases than NSW, we are still ion the incline, you are on the decline. So clearly our harsher measures are a waste of time, and I wish we would follow you guys

If it makes you feel better, we are all quite envious of you guys up there. Down here we see Gladys as a bit of a legend. Of course that came about as a comparison with what we have.

Slash said Josh Todd sang out of tune when he auditioned for him. By your argument maybe you'd be the biggest Crue fan if they had a better singer?

I always find it weird when people beg for a 'better singer' Are you all crying for a better singer for Motley, Motorhead, The Ozzy Osbourne band , etc You didn't hear Van Hagar fans crying for him to return to VH when they brought Dave back. There are heaps of bands who have a vocalist that I won't really like too much and I am lucky to find a few songs that I like due to that. I never had any issues with this singer. If I bothered to analyse his singing I could probably be picky, but that's not very rock and roll.

Finally getting to this album. Best since Running With The Dogs. Barman is my fav so far. Lots of catch songs here, great surprise after the disappointing Power Crazy

I kept 4, 5, 8, 9 respectively off the 4 albums. Looking forward to this new one

Meh, just saying how it appears. In this case, it's not really a big deal. I love Kissin' Dynamite and will get the album for sure. More about some band I've never heard of before, and they throw a single in my face, and I decide for whatever reason, to give it a listen. Then it says "come back later" and I can say that unless it pops up again, I will likely never hear the song. So however they intend this to work, it doesn't seem to be for me at least....
