Re: All Blacks 2024
I hope Cane is nowhere near the ABs. It is time to start the cycle by trying out some new blood and that's not just in relation to who has retired or is otherwise unavailable, but getting some dead wood and tried but not quite there players.

Re: Songs that were ruined by the producer
November rain. Had heard the 2 demo versions long before the original came out, really disappointed they didn't just keep it with the stripped back Axl vocal and piano. It's considered a classic but I think it's too over the top. I've always wanted to hear that song in an Appetite version. I find i...

NSW laws are a lot more flexible about today. After Good Friday and Christmas Day, ANZAC day is a nightmare in QLD....
