Spacepig Pig | 1473 comments Some hair metal for a change! Great idea Collette.

US band Poison appeared everywhere its possible to appear back in the mid 80's-90's, and believe it or not, they are still on the go in some form or other.

Seven studio albums to choose from I think, so let's see what we can find.

Noms as ever close at 10 pm Sunday, remember to include your link, and don't forget to come back and vote.

Fairport gig aborted, listened to some of their recent live stuff through the week, and prefer to keep my old memories intact and save myself the rip off ticket prices. Local doom/death metal band Soothsayer on Saturday instead :-)

Collette | 6189 comments Cheers, Spacepig. My favourite Poison album has always been 'Open Up And Say...Ahh!'. So tempted to nominate "Fallen Angel", but since I've done so elsewhere in the past...

Spacepig Pig | 1473 comments Ten noms then, giving us the 4 point scoring system, maybe just a little disappointing, I was hoping for a few more.

Voting as usual closes 10 pm on Thursday evening, no late votes counted.

Ploughing on then, here's the playlist:

And the noms:

Nothin' but a Good Time

Last night, as previously mentioned, I was in town for our usual metal gig, nothing much out of the ordinary except, Rod Stewart was in town for a huge gig. And the whole town went Rod mental, really, OTT stupidity. That's OK, our venue is immune from that nonsense but, what I never figured in was, by the time it came to go home, the town was still full of all these Rodders nutters, and even worse, they had taken all the taxis. Try as I might, just could not get a taxi home, and ended up walking about 6 miles, leaving town at about 1:30 am, getting home about 3:00 or so. Then I got about 3 hours sleep before starting work again this morning The sacrifices I make for my metal!!!

I gonna go sleep now, have a good week.

message 23: by Tim (new)

Tim Franklin | 10967 comments The use of all votes - as compared to previous rounds - does suggest the accused likes the band rather more than he's letting on, says a famous lawyer.


message 24: by Collette (new)

Collette | 6189 comments Either that or he doesn't want a Glasgow 😘 from yours truly!

Spacepig Pig | 1473 comments 10 noms, 10 voters - awesome, well done everyone!

A bit of a battle then, but topping the poll and grabbing this week's gold gong - Johnny's first for a while, Talk Dirty To Me. Pipped at the end but holding on for the silver, theDuke and Every Rose Has Its Thorn. And with a late surge to grab the bronze Tech with Fallen Angel.

Hair metal was never really my thing back then, and still isn't, but I could certainly see the appeal of it for those that did enjoy it. And it can't be denied, they sure knew how to have fun.


message 31: by Collette (new)

Collette | 6189 comments Well done Johnny etc. And cheers to those who took part, even if it wasn't their cup of tea. Nice as well that this thread wasn't turned into a 'let's all make arsey comments' snide-fest like the Michael Bolton one, which in all honesty I thought was gonna be the case again. I love my hair metal and always will.
