I assume now Jon has to come to an agreement with the new owner of Richie’s share when agreeing to licensing or syncs? Probably just can’t be arsed with that when for 40 years he just had to speak to Richie or something like that

Really crazy to see this picture in 2024. Jon talks a lot about how they ‘superseded all that nonsense’. We smirk, but they actually did.

‘A band called Ratt’ though. That line from the documentary was brutal. Come on.

What is Jon thinking here? What is all that shit on your face? Also who are you?

It's in Brooklyn so yeah. The Birmingham of NYC.

Stuck it on and forgot about it immediately until I realised Apple Music had been playing Beatles radio for 2 songs.

I've played Hackney Diamonds maybe 10 times start to finish since its release.

Here's what 3.5M gets you in Brooklyn. Note the beautiful spacious backyard and the bedroom where if I'm not mistaken, you literally have to jump out of the bed into the hallway. There is no room between the bed and the wall. https://www.trulia.com/p/ny/brooklyn/583-10th-st-brooklyn-ny-11215--16253...

They're more prog and experimental than Dokken. Are they talked about in terms of 80s bands beloved on here in the same way as say... Tesla? Just happened to get sucked up in to the 80s hair rock narrative? They're one of my favorite bands. Many put Operation: Mindcrime as one of the top 80s Hard R...

There may be a Mandela Effect thing going on here. "So Tell Me Why" definitely got regular MTV play. They didn't bury or ignore it. (MTV even gave "Stand" a chance a few years later.) I recall being on some trip with a friend and watching a lot of MTV during this period. In addi...

Nothing about that band appeals to me.

They seem to me like an even less cool DOKKEN, if that were possible.

Am I lucky?

I remember seeing the video on MTV the one time it aired! 1.I don't think the Swallow This Live concert video ever came out officially, did it? 2.Bret is the only person in the video! A sign that things were not well in the Poison camp! 3.The song always reminded me a little of Belinda Carlisle Hea...

What a tune. Pity it got buried.

Not even near the same league as GNR. I’m in Europe and have seen what GNR do here first hand. Motley would be an opening act, fact. Sixx is dreaming and clearly high on his own supply. 50% (and considerably more when it comes to Europe) has been provided by Def Leppard over the past year or two. He...

Sinead was right. She spoke the truth and was publicly vilified for it.

And she was a rare talent. Rest in Peace.

Gardener takes them in

At least Kurt Cobain was right about Bon Jovi: https://www.loudersound.com/news/nirvana-on-bon-jovi But, of course, there was a flipside in becoming so huge too. The way Novoselic saw it, the pre-Nirvana landscape was made up of what he called the “those old rock dinosaurs, the hairspray bands hang...

It's just total narcissism. He could have done both if he wanted to. They had the original lineup back for 24 years and released 1 album of new material. They could have added to their catalog and toured every few years and Bret still would have had time to his low-rent act on the side. They made g...

Money wise it can't be that much of a difference. In fact if Bert had invested the same amount of time and money in Poison as he has in scab Poison, one could argue that Poison could be a stadium act, making far more than Bert solo could ever attain. And even if they didn't attain stadium level fol...

The more I hear from this loser the less I care

Yes, I understand he takes home all the dough when it comes to the BMB stuff. But surely Poison gets offered larger venues and more lucrative runs (especially since the Stadium Tour, where it seems he was happy to piss away or ignore all the genuine goodwill Posion built up as the opener) Is he emba...

Save the Weak. Lmfao

Just here to say OP - love the sig. what a fucking band

You know it is

Phenomenal debut. Yep, and this is the tour for the 20th anniversary of said debut. Pretty sure they're playing it in its entirety. I’m going to see it myself, in London. Will never forget the first time I saw them in 2005. Hawkins came out in a giant pair of tits floating atop the arena. Glorious....

Fantastic band. Phenomenal debut.

Lifestyle? What is that defined as...? I mean... in truth, most of us, have no clue what any of these "rock stars" live like, drive in, live in, or how they spend their money day-to-day. Being a "rock star" is much-like many other jobs in the world... My point is... not everyone...

Bret’s tour and constant whoring got me thinking. He’s a rich man for sure, but everybody knows you gotta keep paying the bills on those cars and mansions. Bret’s the face, so he can easily parlay that into well paid gigs. But how do people like Bobby Dall do it? Especially as Posion are on the road...
