dougie's news post hasn't been approved for some reason

anyways

their best was behind them, but their contribution to aus rock is undeniable. at least a bernard fanning solo album is more or less confirmed, and cogsy can probably concentrate more on his underwear modeling.

find it strange that they consider golden rule their most complete and satisfying album. nah.

Kind of sucks, legendary band, but at least they went out on a solid album.

Meh. Gonna get a lot of hate for this but these guys were so boring live the two times I saw them.

no hate at all. i've seen them four times and haven't found them particularly amazing either time.

they're not a good live band, at least not in big venues.

I understand that they are radio friendly rock and have some very good songs but I don't get why everyone fellates over them to such an extent.
Sadly this only upsets me because it probably means Fanning will release more snooze worthy tripe.

they've just been a very consistent band in terms of output and are great songwriters. that's why i like them at least.

even the stuff before they hit it big is seriously good, too.

because they've been pumping out consistently great, varying and interesting radio rock for ages (excluding dream days of course)

beat you qwe =)

oh and if i end up going to one of these shows and they don't play this song

i'll be pissed

Yep they are somewhat consistent, however they have a formula which they have stuck with for 20 years which I find far from interesting.

That was awesome! thanks for sharing.

classic finger bro

Is this the band with the Finger Bang song?

wasn't that southpark?

Anyone who hasn't heard Powderfinger & wants to get a feel, I'd recommend their 'Best Of' packacge titled 'Fingerprints'.

That's some old Powderfinger, Bernard wasn't even on the guitar at that stage. But it's amazing though.
Tis a shame they are breaking up, the deathcore scene doesn't need another detriment what with Depised Icon breaking up too.

I want them to play Internationalist start to finish.

One thing is certain, the set list is gonna be freakin' nuts!

Man gotta go to these shows. Had to happen, but sad
