Music Who made Poison a Rock\Metal icon? - Page 11

**petegz28** · 01-02-2009, 09:18 AM

Ok, so I am flipping channels the other night and hit "metal mania" on Vh1 right? All the sudden I see this video of Posion doing some song and of course, they look nothing like the bundle of stickss they did in the 80's where they wore more makup than most women. It was a performance they were doing at a party and man they sounded like shit. So then last night during my channel flipping, I see Brett Michaels doing a TV ad for Time\Life Music for rock hits of the 80's or whatever. Once again I am ready to sling the remote at the TV for someone even aknowledging these peter-puffers, let alone making them out to be something they were the exact opposite of.

So Brett Michaels puts on a cowboy hat that is rolled up on the sides, takes on the Vince Neil biker look and all the sudden Poison is an icon of the 80's? These are the same bundle of stickss that named themselves "Riki Rachet, Bobbi Dahl, C.C. DeVille"???? The same guys who drew a double take on their album cover because you could not believe a guy would intentionally put on that much makeup and hairspray and not call himself a crossdresser?!

What a shame to see what was a good era of music being represented by the same ass-bundle of stickss that brought it down.

Someone please, stop this madness!!!!

God damn dude, I swear I just left the San Fernando valley after listening to that...lol

And no, San Fernando does not mean "a whale's vagina". That would be San Diego.

I wasn't in to Metal/Rock growing up in the 80's but now that i listen to it, it all sounds better to me then what people do today.
I think these groups did alot better on the slow songs than the bands do today.
I didn't like any of these groups because of what they dressed like, but hey i was a jock in school and also went to a catholic school that was known for sports so dressing up and checking out what they wore was pretty funny to me, and a dude wearing makeup?lol

I have to admit, looking back the way everyone dressed then, preps, jocks, metalheads, punk...was all kinda funny.

As great as this was, I loved the Scorpions, BTW, even they went a little POPish into the 90's..

I bought 'Balboa Fun Zone' used at Recycled Sounds back in the day; great record.

The 80'? You had to be there to appreciate it.

Off the topic-genre, I know...but I had to put this out there for Palmer, since I know how much of a big Lacua Coil fan he is

We have seen Poison a couple of times in the last few years, they put on a great show...

If you dont like rock, better stay away from Rocklahoma...
