We're An American Band Lowdown Poison - one of the cornerstones of hair metal in the history of music. They weren't raunchy like Mötley Crüe or anarchistic like Guns 'N' Roses. Instead, they were more light-hearted and tongue-in-cheek to the point where you could hardly take their songs seriously. The quartet from Los Angeles, CA (Bret, Bobby and Rikki were originally from Harrisburg, PA), have rocked the world with decadent chart hits like "Nothin' But a Good Time," "Talk Dirty to Me" and "Unskinny Bop," as well as the unforgettable #1 ballad "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." Of course, like every rock band out there, Poison had their share of tragedy and drugs throughout their career. Cocaine and alcohol addiction marred C.C.'s interaction with the band to the point where he and Bret got into a fist fight at the 1991 MTV Music Video Awards. Shortly afterwards, he was fired and replaced by Ritchie Kotzen. The band's first and only album with Kotzen, Native Tongue, was released in 1993. It signaled Poison's dramatic change of style, as songs like "Stand" featured more serious and political tone. However, the CD flopped, and irreconcilable differences led to the band ousting Kotzen. In 1994, Poison hired Blues Saraceno to take over as guitarist as the band started recording their sixth album Crack a Smile. Unfortunately, production of the album ground to a halt when Bret was involved in an accident that totaled his Ferrari and broke his nose, jaw, ribs, fingers and four of his teeth. One year later, he fully recovered, and the band continued recording the album. But with hair metal out of the music scene in favor of grunge, Capitol Records put the album's release on hold and, instead, issued Poison's Greatest Hits: 1986-1996. Then in 1998, Bret and C.C. finally settled their differences, and C.C. rejoined the fold. Crack a Smile...and More! was released in 2000 with additional demo tracks and samples from the band's performance on MTV Unplugged. At that same year, Power to the People marked the original lineup's first studio recording in over a decade. Well, it's 2006, which means it's been 20 years since Poison debuted. And to celebrate, Capitol Records has released a new compilation featuring newly remastered versions of the band's greatest hits. The Best of Poison also includes the KISS cover "Rock and Roll All Nite" (from the 1987 movie Less Than Zero) and the band's version of the Grand Funk Railroad classic "We're An American Band." Compared to the previous Greatest Hits CD, this compilation is more fun to listen to, especially on the road. With hair metal making a comeback, it's definitely worth giving your music playlist a shot of Poison. Rating: A- Links The Poison Web

Uhhh...they have names, you know...

Meguiar's is awesome. Here are some sample pics of my Mustang after two coats of NXT Tech Wax: And here's the interior treated with NXT Tech Protect (plus Gold Class Rich Leather Wipes on the steering wheel): And the tires treated with Gold Class Endurance High Gloss Tire Gel:

Are they kidding me? WTF? No Q? 404414[/snapback] Because Q is dead (God rest his soul, for 007 just wasn't 007 without him).

IIRC, 303 Aerospace Protectant is unscented. Give it a try. Me, I love Meguiar's NXT Generation products. I love the smell of Key Lime Pie whenever I wax my car or shine the dashboard.

Most of CPM's releases were crap (M.D. Geist, Battle Arena Toshinden and Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer anyone?), but CPM did release some great titles, other than what grss1982 posted: Grave of the Fireflies Night on the Galactic Railroad Odin: Starlight Mutiny Demon City Shinjuku Cyber City Oedo 808 Urotsukidoji (Admit it - the first movie was good.) The World of Narue Detonator Orgun Record of Lodoss War BTW, CPM did not license New Dominion Tank Police. It's licensed by Manga Entertainment.

From the Anime News Network: CPM will be happy to assist these fine staff members find employment opportunities, so any company seeking experienced and professional employees are requested to email CPM at HR519@teamcpm.com for further details.

Aren't you worried about your dash or tires fading in color? You should at least try a protectant like 303 Aerospace. It's not glossy like Armor All and is safe on all plastic, vinyl and rubber surfaces.

Actually, the PRV (Peugeot-Renault-Volvo) engine was very reliable by itself. It was one of the first few European engines to run 100,000 miles before its first tune-up. The whole problem was that DeLorean tinkered with it when he dropped it in his car. Hence the DMC's reliability issues.

Earlier this week on The Triple-H Show: - Kane vs. Kane? Or is this just a rehash of Undertaker vs. Undertaker from 10 years ago? - Paul Heyman announced that RVD is officially part of the new ECW. However, Kurt Angle jumping ship was completely unexpected. - After being fired on SmackDown!, Johnny Nitro and Melina jumped to RAW. Mmmmm, Melina... - HHH vs. the Spirit Squad. Yawn. As soon as ECW gets their own show, I might as well give up watching RAW.

I've never heard that before. In that case, use Meguiar's Hot Shine Tire Foam. I don't recommend Armor All or STP Son of a Gun! tire foam, as they contain silicones that may be harmful to metal surfaces. One of my old methods of detailing the engine bay was using a tire shine (not foam-based) after washing/degreasing. Nowadays, I use Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Protect on the black plastic and rubber surfaces.

Mozilla Firefox all the way.

If you really want a DeLorean, you can order a pre-owned or refurbished one at DeLorean.com.

I personally use Gunk Engine Brite on my Mustang. Works great and leaves no residue, as long as you rinse it out thoroughly. Before that, I used Blue Coral Orange Degreaser, which had no problems. I also tried Black Magic 2-in-1 Engine Detailer, and I wasn't too impressed by it. Unlike most engine degreasers, Black Magic requires you to have the engine warm (which is pretty risky for some people), then it requires you to run the engine for 15 minutes to dry (which is a waste of gas). I've read nothing wrong with Simple Green. The reason why you've probably read about corrosion is because people didn't thoroughly rinse out their engines.

Ouch. I'm sure her insurance covers that. Hope it gets fixed soon.

It's the Nissan Verita, and it's available in South East Asia.

Saw it today. It wasn't bad, but it took too many shortcuts, not to mention that the whole Phoenix storyline was severely watered down. It did have its moments, though - like Kitty vs. Juggernaut... "Do you know who I am?! I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!"
