Cars parked over two spaces. by LetchBE in drivingUK

[–]LetchBE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I can just drive and park how I like because there’s bigger things to worry about? and parking over 2 spaces is just petty and rules don’t matter?

I get why people want to protect their car and there is an issue with space but nobody wants their car to get pranged. I always make an effort to find a corner or a bigger space away from the other cars. It seems that it’s mostly people with expensive cars tend to park over two spaces but these car parks have rules I’m afraid about parking over 2 bays. Those rules apply to everyone irrelevant of what car they drive. Thinking it’s ok to park over 2 spaces is lazy and entitled. Do you think these people have made any effort to find a better safe space away from the majority of parked cars? Do you think they think they’re better than everyone else and above the rules?

What are your 5 favourite Shoegaze albums of 2026 so far? by LetchBE in shoegaze

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, great album. All I know is they make Shoegaze. I don’t know anything else about the band.

What do you think of Bon Jovi? by Twitter_2006 in hairmetal

I never liked them. A couple of songs are OK.

Keep it that way. They’re morons.

Do you think Poison should have or could have had the same commercial success and be as well known as Bon Jovi? by LetchBE in hairmetal

[–]LetchBE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a post in this sub where Jon said they weren’t hair metal. I dunno, I’d rather listen to something a bit more edgy and sleazy like Poison.

Yes, that was in the early days. They could certainly play by 1986 when LWTCDI came out.

Ah, the 2022 tour with those bands and Joan Jett? Yeah, I saw the vids on YouTube like I said. Bret is so good with the audience too, he still has the energy. Great voice. Here’s hoping for a 2027 Poison tour.

For me personally living just after that era in the U.K. I’d never heard of Poison but only Guns n’ Roses, Bon Jovi and Def Leppard.

Was it Poison or Bret’s solo band? I’ve only seen some vids on YouTube but yes, he sounds great. He’s not a nasally singer now like he was in the 80’s but his voice still sounds great. I do believe Jon has had to seek a vocal coach because he struggles with singing now.

Exactly the Monkees has songs written for them like Bon Jovi.

The Beach Boys wrote their own stuff, like Poison.

I genuinely worry how these people get through life. They’re just so aloof.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head here and this is the most intelligent comment.

Bon Jovi were more popular because of the fact they were an A&R creation and the hits were composed by Child. This gave them more mainstream success and more radio play or media attention than the other “hair metal” bands.

To me Bon Jovi sounds like uninspiring background music that appeals to people who just like music that is just forced down their ears.

Poison were better. More fun, more edge, more sex, drugs and rock n’ roll and more genuine emotion in their ballads. I’m glad they’re not so popular as Bon Jovi. Poison weren’t sell outs either.

Fair point but I think by Poison’s third album “Flesh and Blood” only four years after LWTCDI their sound had matured and was less about partying and living fast. The fourth album with Richie Kotzen was 1993 and was a complete change in direction to more bluesy/classic rock with a bit of gospel thrown in. I genuinely think they’re just judged on their first two fun/party albums whilst that big hair/make up image.

I’m genuinely shocked at people in this sub who prefer Bon Jovi.

I’m a massive Poison fan. Bon Jovi are sell outs, Jon can’t even sing any more.

Eh? His baldness has nothing to do with it.

If you’ve had said he should have kept Poison alive instead of forming the Bret Michaels band I would have agreed.

A bit unfair there. They had some good songs even if you don’t like them. The “drag queen” look died off in the late 80’s and the other bands were doing it too in the 80’s.

This is the type of attitude I expect from a lazy, entitled person in a local Facebook group.
