Richmond midfielder Daniel Jackson a fan of live rock ‘n' roll

Daniel Jackson, 26. AFL, Richmond. ON field, he's determined to lay a good tackle. Off field, this Tiger is determined to track down the next big thing in rock 'n' roll.

Last great gig?

I’m not fussy, any excuse to get out and see some live music is reason enough for me. Mutemath was one of the better gigs I’ve seen this year. Foster the People were really good. But my No.1 gig was last year, in the off-season I was in New York and got invited to a product launch with a friend. She said, “There’s some band playing at this launch, The Black Fleas or something?” I said, “You mean The Black Keys? That’s my favourite band!” Only 200 people there and they played a full set.

Do you miss a lot of gigs during the season?

No, that’s why live music fits perfectly, especially in Melbourne because it’s on most nights. As a footballer we can’t be out on the town doing silly things during the season, we’ve got to be well-behaved and stay fit and healthy. But you can go watch a live gig, sit down in a corner with your bottle of water and still have a good time and be in bed at a reasonable hour.

What local gigs have you been getting to?

I went to Falls Festival but I’ve realised camping is a little too tedious and dirty for me. Some of the good local acts I’ve seen lately: Stonefield, the sisters, I’ve been watching them for the last 18 months. Royston Vasie, a group of blokes from Melbourne. If you’re prepared to put some time in and explore Melbourne, you can find whatever you want.

Discovery of 2012?

Last year I got onto Abbie May, the rock chick from Perth. This year, one of the guys in the club recommended The Rubens (above), they’re from Sydney.

Which teammate has the best taste?

Dave Astbury was the one that recommended The Rubens – he and I share similar interests in music. Funnily enough our physio Anthony Schache, he’s a music guru. Every time I find a new band I go talk to him because he already knows who they are and where they’re from. He’s like my encyclopaedia of music for Melbourne.

Is there much music around the club?

Yeah, though unfortunately I don’t hold the right of power over the boombox, so we get stuck listening to endless house tunes and R&B – anything you’d hear on mainstream commercial radio. There’s nothing wrong with that except when you hear it seven days a week. It’s about time, as one of the older players, that I take control and put on some good quality music.

Which teammate has the worst taste?

Jayden Post is one of the guys who loves to take control in the gym and his stuff is very heavy house music. Which is fine, but probably more fine if we were out on a Saturday night than pumping weights in the gym! It gets very repetitive and it gives Shane Tuck a headache so he has to get out of the gym. We let Ivan Maric, our big new ruckman with his mullet, pick our pre-game song for our highlights video the other week and I have to say, it didn’t get too many ticks. But no one told him that – wouldn’t dare!

Is there music in the rooms before a game?

Everyone’s very headphone oriented. We did trial having the stereo but not everyone likes having loud music on. A lot of boys are on the Beats headphones now and they cruise around by themselves for the first bit until things start to get serious.

What do you pump up with?

I do seem to refer back to a lot of old-school music – the other day it was Rage Against the Machine. I also love Groove Armada to relax – sometimes you don’t want to get too worked up.

What do you chill out with post-game?

A few years ago I religiously listened to that Arrested Development song Everyday People. It was a great way to calm down.

Ever had a song stuck in your head during a game?

The AFL had an advertising campaign with that Irish rock song – that used to get stuck in my head because it was the last thing I heard before I went out there. When we had the Dreamtime game and stood in a row beforehand, or even just before we come out of the rooms, I always get stuck next to my mate Jake King and he’ll have some shocking song that he’ll be bopping away to and it ends up getting stuck in my head. As long as I avoid him I’m generally OK.

What’s the alternative Tigers team song?

We do give a very, very energetic rendition of Happy Birthday. We really get into it. But I don’t think that quite counts.

What song springs to mind when you think of your coach, Damien Hardwick?

I tell you what, we do videos for 100 games and 50 games, and I don’t know if it’s "Dimma" (Hardwick) who picks the music for these things, but they pick great songs. The other day we had the latest Arctic Monkeys (above) song, R U Mine. Brilliant! I hadn’t even heard it. I’ll give Dimma credit for it and say that if he did, he’s done very, very well.

What was on your 100 games video?

It was TV on the Radio – Wolf Like Me. I think. Or it might have been Redcoats – Dreamshaker. You should see how much thought goes into it, if someone has a milestone coming up, we’ll be sitting at a café all with our iPods out going, “What about this one?” You’ve gotta pick something that suits them. The skipper Chris Newman played his 200th recently and he had a bit of The White Stripes.

Is there a musical generation gap at the Tigers?

Funnily enough, it’s a lot of the young guys who are really keen on the (Triple J) Hottest 100. But mostly they all love their R&B and the stuff that’s forgotten within six months. As you get older you just have less and less appreciation for the new stuff. You’re trying to live in the past!

Got any skills?

I haven’t got a creative bone in my body, that’s probably why I like to appreciate other people’s talents. I have actually got a guitar at home and I’ve tried teaching myself a little bit, but I can’t just pick it up every now and then and think I’m gonna be the next Jimi Hendrix.

Which rock star do you wish you were?

I would love to be able to play a guitar like Jack Johnson, because I love going on holidays, sitting by a beach and it seems the perfect thing for that – other than a Corona – is to have a guitar there so you can strum away, be the centre of attention.

Met any of your musical heroes?

I was supposed to go backstage for the Foo Fighters in December but we were on a training camp in the States, I was devastated.

What band posters did you have on your wall as a kid?

I had a big Bob Marley poster on my wall. AC/DC. My old man introduced me to Led Zeppelin early on.

Who influenced your taste most?

It was being around the footy club. Matty Richardson used to put on some good tunes – he introduced me to The Mess Hall, one of my favourite gigs I’ve been to in Melbourne. Jack Riewoldt’s quite good with his music, he listens to a lot of good Aussie stuff, listens outside the square.

Favourite artist?

I would have loved to have seen Nirvana, back in the day. That’s my kind of music.

Favourite album?

Jurassic 5 – Power in Numbers. I know I haven’t talked about any R&B or rap music but I saw them live at Good Vibes years ago and they were awesome.

Guilty pleasure?

I certainly haven’t got any Britney Spears. No, I don’t reckon there’s anything too embarrassing. Not on this iPod anyway.

Wait, is that a Dave Dobbyn (above) song on your iPod?

Slice of Heaven! Of course it is. Everyone likes that song. It’s like having Daryl Braithwaite on your iPod … which I don’t have.

What can’t you stand?

I’m not a big fan of country. Although, I went and saw a local band called The Toot Toot Toots. They call themselves a “spaghetti western” band. I could appreciate what they were about, but it certainly wasn’t my thing.

What’s on your gig bucket-list?

There’s a lot of music festivals, when I finish my footy career, that I’d love to go to. I was in America last year and I just missed the Voodoo Festival down in New Orleans. And I’d love to go to the Exit Festival in Serbia. As soon as I retire. You certainly can’t do them while you’re playing – you go for three days and it takes you three weeks to recover.

I guess with house, it makes the players focus on doing their weights instead of going "man ,this riff's awesome!"

No drums or guitars in trance.
No awesome vocals.
I do like some electronica like Orbital but that probably would send the players off to sleep.

Sasha is cool.

Maybe this stuff.

What would you class Crystal Castles as? One of the only non-metal/rock/grunge things I listen to.
