Hunters & Collectors - Holy Grail

[TheWaZzA1000]

Takes me back to 2001 when the mighty Brisbane Lions won the flag, this song for me represented that wonderful day were everyting went my way for once and when that siren went i felt like i was 10 feet tall.

[Guitar4Eva100]

when was this?

[Edmond8634]

Shit sorry

[Edmond8634]

Boston more than a feeling

[savedbyjesusblood]

Which fret is capo'ed?

[AreForFilms]

I'm 3 years old and I'm indifferent about this song.

[damo24now]

you should always put this song in a video clip for a sporting teams achievement in any year

[madrc570]

im 11 and i absolutely love this song

[mpdp85]

I will admit, i am still a fool for the holy grail.

[vicarious1rntu]

Is this at the Metro? That's a kick ass venue

[EinMagillaGorilla]

@idontthinkhesawus

Qld won the Sheffield Shield 94-95! Never forget it.

[FuzzBucket1000]

remember learning this at school and hearing it on AFL adds. when i think aussie rules i think this!!

[TheDoSMETA]

this performance was shit house, the original vocals are the best... when he sings it like a fkn yobbo he sounds like a douche bag

[Arrn18]

i just won a footy premiership yesterday and this song has been played every 5 minutes since... epic tune, amazing anthem.

[MaddogAussie4life]

Im 15 and when i ask people in my year if they know this song they have no freaking clue, i fucking love hunters and collectors, im gunna be performing this song in an upcoming talent comp :D, BEST SONG!!!

[tombrom1]

I remember seeing them for the first time in 1985 at the Melb HS formal. I thought.....who booked them? Sounds like shit. Boy, I was so wrong. One of Aust's greatest live acts ever. Followed them for another few years catching them whenever I could. Glad the rest of the country caught on....sort of. If you think this band was "underrated" then spare a thought for Painters and Dockers....another great Aussie band. btw Mark Seymour was probably one of the fittest guys,ran marathons

[thecheekyget]

don't know can hear.. michael jacksons.. man in the mirror in this song

[bdoorafts]

this is the shit 1 of the best songs of all time. FUCKING CLASSIC

[80Mandi]

thank you to mark seymour my partner is is in iraq and he uses this song to get thru everyday. He may not be alive without you

[MegaToogoodforu]

thumbs up if this goes well with the AFL grandfinal this is australias national amthem

[orwullie]

DAMN IT i can only click like once

[scottyoz1]

Classic Aussie Band , but sadly they never truly get the recognition they deserve, and we eventually lose them, and to what ?? crap plastic pop, doof doof, rap crap, and sooky lala wannabe rockers.

[dragospastic]

How do you classify AFL as a sport consisting of hugs when league consists of people running for a hug? Answer me that EINSTEIN

[wackyo9]

Sydney

[1001578]

where is this played

[EvilMustard]

@yaartz  u mean melbourne .. thats the only place i know that likes GAY.F.L.

take ur extremly gay man huging sport else were

[camo336]

awesome song but it wud be better for the parramatta eels as it is more fitting for them than any gay.f.L team

[drworm77]

Love the enmore :D

[trippylippy1]

my favourite 'hunters and collectors' song is "here no evil" but I can't find a copy on youtube ... bummer!

[mfp9601]

Should be mandatory at every AFL Grand Final just prior to the National Anthem. Sends chills down my back each and every time Why channel 10 dropped it from their Saturday night AFL telecast is beyond me.

[madone2999]

AFL beats any freaking sport to claim themselves as football, NRL ( old POME ass sniffers) soccer ( pomes with nothing else to loose) AFL is the only true sport

[belldudes65]

my dad is barry palmer

[enarebee]

Does anyone know what kinda guitar he's playing? The singer?

Awesome song :) x

[steeliedude]

It's a Yamaha APX of some sort

[infantileretard]

@enarebee Mark Seymour, Hunters & Collectors

[poomoosoo]

That was an epic fail sydney. When hes like "Come on sydney this is your big moment"

[Biggestisland]

Only room for two codes. NRL is dead

[Tim1Mill]

smells like Victoria

[joshtwilliams]

why don't you guys just shut up about afl vs nrl and just agree that the a- league is horrible:)

[yoyo2121nov8]

wow what an awesome crowd :o

[nokturnal5647]

More Than a Feeling was released as a single in 1976 dipshit.

[13Azzinoth37]

stop messing up the page with AFL shit

[yaartz]

Is that the same AFL which has more players, over the age of 18, than NRL, Soccer and Rugby COMBINED! AFl has More TV audience, crowd aggregate, finals attendees and sponsorship than all those 2nd raters. AFL the best $s to be earnt in OZ sport if you want too stay in this great land.

[13Azzinoth37]

nationalism is an infantile disease, as is arguing a point such as this.

AFL is a cheap spin off of gaelic football and does not belong on this page.

[yaartz]

And you are as 'pure as the driven snow' with you inability to write without using derogatory language. besides AFL comes from Rugby Union NOT Gaelic as you erroneously state! And whats wrong with pride in ya country. I value and admire my country - maybe your country doesn't deserve you!

[ekul010]

AFL is shit, rugby league is so much better to watch and play

[yaartz]

Rugby League is a Minor sport in the country which has its biggest following. A set of 6, set of 6, set of 6 and, for something completely different, a set of 6! BORING!!! NRL is so good to watch and play that AFL has only than 2.5 times the audience and 3 times the players. You understand neither grammar, syntax, numbers or maths. Maybe Bam-Bam has had too many hits to his neanderthal bone formation that sits on his neck.

[ekul010]

yeah at least in league they can hang onto the footy and actually tackle unlike in AFL

[yaartz]

You can tackle in footy -AFL as well. Its just that there is so much else goin on in game of footy. You need knock-on in NRL bcos of the off-side rule. No off-side in AFL therefore no need for a knock-on. In fact knock on in AFL is a skill that needs to be learned. You can hit a bloke in AFL without the ball - you cant in NRL.

NRL players when they play AFL cant make a tackle bcos they cant get their man bcos ALL AFL players can run. Not like in NRL where only the back half of the team can.

[sirgarfieldthebrave]

rugby league also answers the very important question of how many drinks it takes before a girl will let over ten fat stupid men screw her

[camo336]

@yaartz parramatta eels are better than any gay f.l team

[dezza2001]

In Canada we have Barenaked Ladies "If I had a $1000000" when it comes to iconic songs but can't decide if the Aussie song is this or The Angels "Am I Ever Going To See Your Face Again"

[nokturnal5647]

That riff sounds much too similar to "More Than a Feeling" by Boston.

[pontaduck89]

@nokturnal5647 its called Rock music. an its nothing like more than a feeling for 1 great bloody reason, its Aussie, so its better ,v..

[kkgm07]

go the mighty saints

[MrFerrari4ever1]

This song still rings in my ear on every last saturday in September. Only 1 year to go, and that holy grail will be yours boys! ST KILDA!!!

[SaintTony1968]

St KILDA FOREVER

[brentshipley]

I'm going, Go You Mighty Saints.

[roosters3716925]

[SirDanJoeMan]

HOLY GRAIL. AUSTRALIAN CLASSIC i reckon is number 1 for traditional aussie songs, and im only 14. HUNTERS AND COLLECTORS HOLY GRAIL OWNS!!!!!

[prhatherley]

@SirDanJoeMan Only 14; how I wish my son had your musical taste

[miley4370]

@SirDanJoeMan AGREED i'm only 12 and i love this music

[flaminglovestick]

@SirDanJoeMan well if ur only 14 how the fuck would u know about aussie music? LOL!

[pwgabachito]

@flaminglovestick Although I have learned so much more over the years, I actually had a pretty wide knowledge of rock music history by the time I was 14, in my case more American and British, but still. Don't criticize, some people are lucky to have the support of friends and family, and nowadays the internet, and can have a pretty wide knowledge about these things.

[nosecandles]

One of Hunnas worst songs, and not just because the riff is a complete rip off of 'More than a Feeling' by Boston... How could ya Mark ??

[aussie123ify]

well done hunters and collectors you have your name under the best song ever written what a great song gives me goose bumps everytime i hear especially in the afl

[460XR]

How can you say AFL is the best game. Its the only game in the world where you still get a point when you miss a goal, go figure!

[aussie123ify]

oi dick head its better than going to a game and not even a goal is kicked dickhead so go follow a bit more more soccer and also grow some balls for fuck sake u queer

[ahmanitsfull]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Best point ever man, I love you.

[roosters3716925]

AFL is just the best sport in the world and theres no point comparing because you just cant

[KaguyaQuincy]

LOL

[ShadowReeves]

lol. large scale ping pong...they cant even keep hold of the ball

[Kevy63]

short song but one hell of a story, dont make them like this any more.... Legend Seymour...

[mc96af]

Geez, I had this CD when I was in high school in '92 or '93...I can't remember. I loved this disc and just stumbled upon this video. Fun memories.

[Paige080409]

AFL - gay exuse for guys to touch each other bahahah But i still love NRL <3

[TheThingKing]

AFL is the best code in the world.. the Aussie Game..

Great song, downloaded it for media player

[Simicc2005]

AFL mind blowing game .LOVE AFL

[DeathDeliverance]

Boston's more than a feeling

[collfc76]

cant wait for sound relief dvd

[pat1001]

glad that i found a version that has the extra line in it "down on my hands and knees"

[whodaman5]

HUNNNERSS!!!

[tankenginet]

AFL is the best sport ever invented

[silverstreak999]

agreed ... wholeheartedly

[potsmokerdudeman]

no it isint football is the best sport ever invented. afl is awesome but nothing can come close to socccer

[DomDaDrummer95]

i agree thats why its called the WORLD GAME because more than one country play it.

[Paige080409]

hahah it still "the aussie game" derrrrr

[Coconutattack]

Nah mate... NRL is better

[skilldxxxxonexx]

omg dont start people! really dont!

[Paige080409]

hah fuck yeahhhhh

[roosters3716925]

deffinetely, soccer is a pussy sport, dont kno why they classify that as football, same with rugby league, dont really get the rules and its a pointless game.

[Neuronhead]

Great song. Put the studio version back so I can show people how great Austalian music is.

[spacemanGoldie]

Sounds like Boston teen spirit

[garfert]

these guys were at the sound relief concert

[1AussieAvenger1]

every live performance has its differences. especially if its a gruelling tour. the crowd enjoyed it, me too. i'd pay to see em again.

[sw33tness666]

You gotta admit, it's not the best performance ever...

[zoomore1]

really good video

[lolzords4]

i got same guitar as him

[jcauchi7]

is his capo on the fifth fret?

[aaronchungrulez]

no, the forth one

[SDB1985]

wish he didn't hand it to the croud to sing it!! i have this version on cd and it ruins it a bit because he is such a great singer!! so OZZIE!!

[BrightAnarchist]

Boston - More Than a Feeling

[aaronchungrulez]

This song's chords is E, A, C#m, B

while...

the Boston song is G, C, Em, D

you cannot judge the band if you don't know anything about music, other than sounding similar

[chrisb1953]

I must say the same fleeting thought crossed my mind but there is finite number of musical combinations you can have in rock. Therefore many songs will have similarities but not necessarily be plagarised. "Holy Grail" certainly is not... you are right about the different chords.

H&C are a fantastic Aussie rock band with a large repertoire, all original.

[05Chanai]

actually the chords are very similar

same chords jus different keys

I , IV, VI, V

[aaronchungrulez]

05Chanai,

There is only so many (good sound) chord progressions that are four step and have a rock feel to it. Changing the chords is cheating, but it fools a handful of people, and who knows, it might just be a coincidence. Another thought is 12 bar blues. It's always I, IV, V, and is the most common used blues and rock progression there is.

[Scott08Bren]

A classic is a classic. You can try to find similarities, and yes, there always will be some, but the magic of hit, lies within the words, melody and original production, be it acoustic or full. A hit is magic and always will be.

Just my thoughts, an age old muso myself,

Bren.

[smithie221]

did anyone see that geek in the glasses how funny

[joingler]
