ARIA AWARDS # 2: THE SAINTS REUNITE
 

Ed Kuepper and Chris Bailey put aside their 20-year old and very public feud (but not their wry sense of humour) when ARIA asked them to play together as they were inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame.

This took place at the pre-ARIAs event at City Live, Sydney. In his induction speech, journalist and TV presenter Clinton Walker recalled that Bob Geldof once said, "Rock music of the seventies was changed by three bands - the Sex Pistols, The Ramones and The Saints."

Bailey, Kuepper and drummer Ivor Hay (in very unpunk bright blue business shirt) powered through a four minute "Stranded" (which was released in 1976 before the Sex Pistols) before 100 people.

Bailey then pointed to the ARIA trophy and said that this "butt plug" would increase the band's sex lives. Hay was even less impressed, sniffing it was "hypocritical" they should be lauded by the music industry after 25 years when they would not have imploded if they been given support then.
