Casey, Australian Idol's resident metalhead

[Spiff]

Paraphrased excerpt from tonight's show:

James: So Casey, you're a huge metal fan, aren't you? Who would be your favourite band?

Casey: Nirvana

Good to see the metal torch is in safe hands.

 

[TinMan666]

watching australian idol is false

 

[Spiff]

Watching Australian Idol rules. It also beats watching that Deal or No Deal psychics thing - what a disappointment that was!

 

[TinMan666]

no, it's FALSE.

I'm gonna start calling everything false again, like I did in the 90s after I discovered Manowar.

 

[Goreripper]

Marty is more metal than Casey. At least he sang The Darkness.

 

[Spiff]

That is true.

However, Casey is more metal than Mark Holden. What was with his hand signal when saying to Marty in his original audition, "ROCK ON"? It looked like the old ridgy-didge sign.

 

[Goreripper]

Billie is more metal than Holden, and she only sings jazz.

 

[Spiff]

But jazz is cool so that's OK.

I really hope us rock fans are served well this year. I like this year's finalists more than last year's bunch.

 

[Goreripper]

As do I.

 

[Kem]

But jazz is cool so that's OK.

I really hope us rock fans are served well this year. I like this year's finalists more than last year's bunch.

But Shannon Noll was so cool...

James: So Casey, you're a huge metal fan, aren't you? Who would be your favourite band?

Casey: Nirvana

Why can't you be a huge metal fan *and* have a favourite band that's not a metal band? That question is phrased stupidly.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Overall I like this final 12 more than last years as well. I was annoyed at the wild card show though, I don't like Anthony at all, I was hoping for either Ngaiire or Carlos. Oh well. Good to see Marty get through though.

I was thinking a rock show when they get into the themed shows would be cool.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Remember, the guy who won the Dutch (I think) version of Idol was labelled as the rebelious metalhead at the World Idols... what did he sing? Nirvana

 

[spawn]

He was from Germany wasnt he? Thus we know he must have been a huge Manowar fan!

 

[Spiff]

He was Belgian I believe.

 

[spawn]

Belgian, thats right... Manowars big there too im sure

 

[Sydo]

Andrew G is a metal head.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yeah that guy was from Belgium. Came third in the World Idol too, which is quite good.

 

[salty]

Andrew G used to make references to Bruce and Live After Death and stuff on Channel [V]. Was pretty cool.

 

[Goreripper]

G's an old school metal guy actually. He used to go out to gigs in Sydney now and then in the early 90s.
