The Troy Wilson Experience - the true story from someone who knows!
After many years doing the rounds of suburban footy clubs, RSLs and B & S
balls, the newly renamed Troy Wilson Experience decided to make the
switch from covers to originals. This decision was not made without some
soul searching. Bass player Glenn Jacovich had this to say: "I don't see
why we should change anything - we're making a good steady living doing
covers. Going to all originals sounds a bit risky to me." Rhythm
guitarist Dean Kemp agreed: "Look, I don't mind slipping a few originals
into the set, but we don't want to alienate our core audience. People go
out to see a band of a Friday night and they want to hear songs they
know. They want to hear 'April Sun in Cuba', they want to hear 'Am I ever
Going to See Your Face Again?' and they definitely want to hear the
Noiseworks classic 'Take Me Back.' I mean, that stuff's been our bread
and butter for years. And why the name change? What's wrong with 'The
Eagles?'" Keyboard player Peter 'Fingers' Matera supported the change,
with reservations: " Mate, I'm all for going all original. My only beef
is, why do they have to be Troy's songs? I've been writing songs for ten
years, brilliant songs, ballads, up-tempo rockers, you name it - and then
this Wilson bloke comes along, he's been in the band two weeks, he's got
the band named after him and he's writing all the songs. I swear to god,
as soon as we get our current commitments out of the way, I'm outta
here." Matera indicated that he was planning to form a 'slick jazz-funk
outfit' with flamboyant vocalist Karl Langdon. His brother, Phil (tenor
sax), claimed that he didn't care what kind of songs they played: "As
long as I get to blast out the occasional solo, I'm happy."
Some felt that, with Troy in the band, lead vocalist Scott 'The Warthog
of Love' Cummings would be surplus to requirements. Ken Judge, a
notorious 'svengali' type figure and the band's manager, denied this was
the case. "I see no reason why a band can't have two lead singers.
Remember the Righteous Brothers? It'll be like that, only with a
contemporary feel."
Sadly this was not how things panned out, and after a handful of gigs
with the double-pronged lead vocalist line-up, Cummings was given his
marching orders. Fortunately, Scott was not bitter, and has happily taken
on the twin roles of head roadie and front-of-house guy. "I love rock and
roll mate, and I love this band," says Scott, "I've been in lots of bands
before. I've been in bands where the manager was an insane control freak.
I've been in bands that could barely play their instruments. Of all the
bands I've been in, this one is by far the most professional. I have no
doubt that they are headed for major chart success and I will support
them all the way."
When I remind former teen-hunk Scott that two of his former bands are
currently ensconsed in the Aria top five, he is philosophical. "Yeah,
well I had some good times with those guys, but it was the old story,
musical differences. Babyface James and His Boombastic Bombers were going
off into that kind of arty, complicated, Radiohead thing, while the Wanga
Boys were just starting to jump on the rap-metal bandwagon. I'm pretty
much of a basic meat and potatoes oz rock kind of guy, and that fancy
stuff isn't really my cup of tea. It may be popular now, but will the
kids still be listening to it in ten years? Don Walker was right when he
told me, "Scott, these trends come and go - the main thing is to keep it
real. I've been wearing these blue jeans and this faded blackish/grey
shirt and this skinny tie for thirty years now. I've had the same haircut
forİtwenty five years. Jimmy's a great vocalist but he wants to go off on
some ego trip and wreck the band. So be it. I'm proud of what we achieved
in the Chisel, but life goes on. This new albums got some of my best
stuff ever on it. My message to you in don't go changin', baby."
With that, Scott made his excuses and headed backstage. "I've got to go
and restring DavyWirrapunda's axe. I tell ya, that kids a freakin
genius. He's the new Lobby Lloyd!"

The Roadies:
Wannabees who like to hang around the Stars, but often found doing gigs out

Simon, hopefully you'll deem this "short enough" for a chance !
Now whilst the pioneering days of family-engineered disco hits may well be
over,
a new outfit has burst on the scene that will revive the feel-good memories of
that retro trailblazing quintet of Jermaine, Tito, Marlon, Jackie, and of
course, Michael. So take note unsuspecting footballing public, I now introduce
to you the new irresistable force of world music - sure the christian names and
faces may have changed, but the surname and decent family values are still the
same, so without further adieu, I give you : Wayne Jackson, Peter Jackson, Mark
Jackson, Ricky Jackson..... and ....Syd Jackson......That's right, they are the
all new JACKSON FIVE, and they are "THE EXPERIENCE".
Tipped to be the new "hot hit" on the "RSL/Hallam Hotel/Magical Mornings at
Crown" circuit this season will be the pulsating disco harmonies comprised of
two ego-driven footballing CEO's, a pocket-sized ex-Demon dynamo, an unashamed
ex-everyone lunatic, and of course a magical silky skilled ex-Blue. However,
Colonial-esque "teething problems" have plagued the early dynamics of this
formiddable rhythmic unit, and these include :
1. Following on from his onfield antics at the MCG with Jimmy Barnes and son on
Federation day, Collingwood board member and new band groupie Brad Cooper was
again reprimanded by lead singer Wayne, being asked to provide yet another
"please explain" as to why he was once again haphazardly and irresponsibly
"gallavanting" on centre-stage ...this time he was caught outpointing Wayne's
dance moves during the group's first rendition of "Blame it on the boogie" at
the Saints disco.
2. Following his maligned pronunciation efforts at the 1999 Brownlow count, it
was agreed that Wayne's desire to also be the spokesperson for the group was
inappropriate. A close friend of Mark's, one W.Capper, was installed as the
astute intelligible public relations front man.
3. Ricky Jackson has refused to wear a white sequined glove on stage.
4. Given the dearth of pre-match entertainment at "Collonial", the group had
been earmarked as a permanent fixture to fill the pre-game void, however,
supremo Ian Collins has decreed that the stadium shall continue to remain in
"complete and utter pin-dropping silence" until the first bounce. Furthermore,
it appears Wayne also has a "pre-match phobia" himself, having not yet
recovered
from Grand Final day '99, where upon being captured in the stands on national
TV
alongside the Prime Minister, then gingerly took part in a lamentable double
act
involving some of the more awkwardly stiff-armed and hesitant versions of both
the "do the dipper" and the "do the sheedy" that one is ever likely to see.
5. And yes, it has been rumored that Vinnie Cattogio will be providing advice
to
the group regarding "afro-style" hair management as per the original Jackson
siblings. Fashion advice, inkeeping with the disco theme, will be modelled on
the giant-lapel and lime green inspired Ronald Dale Barassi wardrobe circa
1977.

I can see channel Ten "Channel Ten IS Football" running a Popstars like
competition from footballers around Australia. and because our game
doesn't have anything similar to the FA cup whereİany team in the country
can win it, this competition will include anyone who pulls on the boots
from any team in the land.
The early rounds feature footballers from as far away asİCountry Western
Australia to Cairns and the Northern Territory.
Week one. İAll footballers assemble at the Sebel Townhouse for auditions.
Gary Sidebottom misses the bus and is locked out!
The producers explain what type of band they are after and put the
players through their paces in front of a national TV audience. the first
player to be eliminated is Steve Alessio. Judge Robert Walls explained to
an obviously dissapointed Alessio that he just wasn't up to the standard
of the other contestants. Dont you just know that this controversial
decision will come back to haunt him. Kevin Sheedy removes all the
Essendon players in protest and decides to run an Essendon only
competition.Similar to the 22 week competition currently being run by the
AFL.
Weeks 2 - 4, players are confronted with their marching orders, Mathew
Lloyd defied Kevin Sheedys orders and gets down to the final 6 but is
eliminated İbecause he keeps falling over at the CRUCIAL time.
Final edisode. The "band" officially known as the Dude Brothers (a
cunning re-arrangement of the old Dud Brothers concept band from years
past) are introduced, they are:
Beefy Dude..........Sav Rocca.....can really get a crowd going
Pretty Dude.........Shane Crawford...one for the ladies
Naughty Dude......Aussie Jones............could be a big job for
management to keep him focused
Angry Dude.........Tony Liberatore.........stay outta his way
After several lineup changes and fights over artistic differences the
band finally breaks up to go their seperate ways.
Beefy Dude ends up playing to crowds of less than 100 somewhere in
Central Victoria
Pretty Dude ends up doing special comments for channel seven at South
Melbourne Soccer teams home games.
Naughty Dude Buys a bar with the royalties from their one and only album
and retires into oblivion and
Angry Dude continues to play at various western suburbs establishments
doing Lobby Lloyd Covers

as a valued listener of the coodabeen champions over the last few years i
believe it is time for the board (simon) to come out and back me with my
competition entries or sack me. in the wisdom of drummy i have decided that my
position is out of my hands and i will just go about my job...here is this
weeks entry...
Now David Spriggs, Joel Corey and Matthew Scarlett...haven't i seen them
somewhere before, long ago in the distance i remember that; weren't they in a
band of their own? wasn't it called...HANSON!!!?
Here's how it went, Spriggsy was the little bloke that always played the drums
that were about 3 times bigger than him (like most of his opponents), joel was
the kid that looked like a girl that played the keyboard and matty was the
older kid with the darker hair that played the guitar. You can just see their
shifty manager in the background that still has his mullet from the 80's,
answers to the name of buddah he does and they only have one roady and his
name is benny graham because he is used to carrying a lot of items at once.
especially 21 other players!

DEAR SIMON,
Well, you could have knocked me down with HALF A BAGEL when you said last
week, "Doug Long says he will not enter again if he doesn’t win."
Now far be it from me to register a nine on the pedantometer scale…
BUT there is a subtle difference between, "I will not enter again if I
win" (what I actually wrote– this was a PROMISE IE: If I win, I will
refrain from entering every week for the rest of the year )
And "I will not enter again if I DON’T win" (what you SAID I said,
making it sound like MANIPULATION).
I tried to explain this very point to my workmates, but they believe
EVERY WORD THEY HEAR ON 3AW; and especially every word you say.
No amount of coaxing would convince them otherwise– even though it
was on the website for all to see; and, since they hold you in the
highest honour, they began to take action.
Monday: nobody sat at the lunch table with me.
Next day: the office bully stole my lunch money, saying, "Nobody
freatens* Simon!"
(* freatens - possibly a Collingwood supporter)
More of that later.
By the way, the 3366 faction victory last week did gladden the heart.
They have done the hard yards and richly deserve their win.
To solve the problem of 3366, let me suggest that the postcode itself is
not allocated to any town; and the Armageddon type notion doesn’t
sit right. But at last year’s convention, one wore a Swans jumper
and the other a Saints jumper. The Swans last won in 33 and the Saints in
66. QED.
Now, back to the quiz. I’ve been too distressed to think… .
Well, it’s a trick question.
Troy Wilson! He is unique. He needs to play on his own.
Doug "I will not enter again if I win" Long
PS: The guys at the office have begun stealing my things as a result of
my ALLEGED manipulative entry last week.
So far, they have stolen my pencil, my stapler, my sticky tape– who
knows, they may even steal my compu

I'm a long-time listener but a first-time correspondent.
The make-up of the Troy Wilson Experience, apart from Troy himself
includes Mitch Mitchell (Drums, - Full back), Noel Redding (Bass - Centre
Half Back) and the late great Chas Chandler as manager or coach. Of
course as Champs would know, this is the line up of the original
'Experience' featuring the Gordon Coventry of guitars, Jimi Hendrix.
The similarities between the Troy Wilson Experience and the Jimi Hendrix
experience are remarkable. Jimi, like Troy was found by Chas Chandler as
a gangly young recruit playing around the traps.
In Jimi's case, he originated in the then sleepy recruiting grounds of
Seattle (recently a thriving zone for the U.S equivalent of the VFL,
alternative rock, with teams such as Nirvana and Soundgarden dominating).
Jimi spent for several years with the New York Blues, before being
discovered by Chase Chandler who was the then playing coach of the
Western Bulldogs of '60's rock: Eric Burdon and the Animals. Immediately
Chas spotted the potential of the young Hendrix andİspirited the lad to
England. While in the fields of London, Paris and Monterrey, Hendrix,
accompanied by Mitchell and Redding, honed his craft until at rather late
age of 25 where he burst onto the international scene to become one of
the greatest front-men the world has ever scene.
Chas, now passed on, was hoping to do the same for Troy Wilson. The West
Coast Eagles heirarchy, under the tutelage of Chas, sentİthe Wilson
prodegy to England and it's many boarding schools, to painstakingly hone
his skills away from the me-ja (media), public and the like, until
arriving back in Australia earlier this year. Chas, a handy back pocket
player for the 'Animals' again wisely placed the experienced Mitchell and
Redding with Wilson, knowing how well these seniors players had affected
the performance of the boy Hendrix.
Now the Troy Wilson Experience have a great cult status with a set list
consisting of:
"All along the half-back line"
"Hey Joe"...Gutnick...where you going with that agenda in you hand?, I'm
goin' to sack a vice-president 'cause he's be seen backin' another man
"In 2083"...the oldest premiership player I will be...
"Little Wing(man)"
"Blurred Haze"...all in my brain, my depth perception don't seem the
same, I went to do a big high-five, Russell Robertson poked my in the
eye...

My line up with one exception has a number of old Royboys recruited to
the club late in their careers, loosely in the mould of how Troy Wilson
was recruited to the Eagles, as follows:
Mark Zanotti played his best footy at the Roys after indifferent
stints at the Eagles and the Bears, but in the line up more importantly
for his guitar solos. - maybe not pretty, but boy wildly,
unpredictableand exhilirating stuff!
James Manson could play a bit (the guitar I mean)
Mark Dwyer for possible impersonations of Angry Anderson
David Bain in the shorts and braces as Angus in a Troy Wilson
Experience tribute band performance of AC DC..
and Troy Luff the exception, [although if the Roys were still going
around (how I wish) he could still qualify as a Royboy as they would be
pretty sure to have a good hard look at drafting/trading him (for a 2nd
round pick) at the end of this year should he get delisted (again) by the
Swans.]

Dear Simon,
The leaders of The Troy Wilson Experience should be the two people who've
HAD the Troy Wilson experience, ie. Troy Wilson and Ronnie Biggs -both
having surfaced out of the blue, in the face of their critics, to grab the
meedja's 3 votes, and both with one foot in the grave.
They decide to call themselves the "out-of-the-blue"s brothers and scour
local AFL hang-outs "tryin' to put the EXPERIENCE back together."
Their progress is hindered by Biggs doing a runner every time a particular
hang-out seems to be over-policed.
The out-of-the-blue's brothers are on a mission from God (ie. ole slowhand)
to recreate the Jimi Hendrix Experience, so they need to find guitarists who
can play guitars with their teeth.
Sadly that rules out all Fitzroy players from the 60s, and all Collingwood
fans from any era (even accepting that you can't compare toothless Pie fans
of different eras.)
Finally, their dream is dashed when their new band members, the Geelong
defence, play "Stand By Your Man" to a parochial crowd, who respond angrily
by hurling full beer bottles at them.
The ensuing 100 vehicle car-chase ends badly with Troy Wilson returning to
the bush, Biggsy back behind bars, and the Geelong defence back to the
Geelong defence.
Also -
ChannelTen/SportsTonight watch - Monday (sorry Covey):
Camera shows an injured Mark Mercuri surrounded by 4 Richmond players.
Mercuri limps off, past another 3 Richmond players, then past a scoreboard
with RICHMOND spelt out in capitals. The camera then pans back over the
yellow and black streamers of the entire Richmond cheer squad.
Voice-over: "Essendon's Mark Mercuri, who injured his knee against St Kilda
on the weekend..."

Stuart McArthur

Why not run a competition over summer where all players who are
interested in joining 'the group' get to audition.
You could run a weekly 30 min show on the telly where competitors sing,
dance and play a musical instrument - all badly.
Then have aİselectionİpanel (made up of ex-coaches and Molly Meldrum)
scrutinise them. The ultimate prize is to be one of the four, five or
six group members.
You could call the show - and the new group - Off Season.
Throw $500,000 at them, get them to tour shopping centres, dress them in
'street' clothes, get a few piercings and you've got a guaranteed No. 1
hit.
Then make them share a house for 13 weeks and vote each other off.
On Thursday nights have an un-cut show called - Off Off Season.
