Music Who made Poison a Rock\Metal icon? - Page 2

**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!!!!

You're not hearing me man. I love 80's metal. But Poison was nothing more than a suck-ass glam band with make up. There were much, MUCH better hair bands than them...Ratt, Dokken, Skid Row, **** even Bon Jovi was better than these tards.

Then there were the REAL bands like, Maiden, Ozzy, Motley Crue, Juda Preist, AC\DC, Triumph, Rush, Van Halen.......

Poison+Warrant = End of a good era of music.

CeCe DeVille seems like a decent dude, I remember him being hilarious on Celebrity Jeopardy at one time. But as musicians, yeah, they were the imitators who came after, the pale reflections of real rockers.

Ok the 2nd group of bands is a completely different genre...other than Motley Crue who have alot more in common with the 1st group than the 2nd group.

And if you think Poison and Warrant were the worst of the hair metal era you missed out on some real stinkers.

There's a reason Stuart wore a Warrant and Winger t-shirts.

They were the worst that gained an iota of recognition. We can go on down that line, L.A. Guns, Kix, Winger, White Lion (though they had 1 good song), the list goes on and on of the hair band suckage that ruined the genre they rode the coattails of.

And again, if you were going to be a hair band don't suck. Dokken was great, Ratt was great, Motley Crue was great minus Theater of Pain. These were groups that actually had some talent beyond how to use a can of Aquanet.

Oh man, he is funny and a great guy. Just keep the 6-stringer out of his hands and we are cool.

That was the album that had a number 1 song on it...I mean even if you hate Poison they had a #1 song which is more than a ton of artists can say.

I agree. Good hair metal that is. I shut the radio off when Nirvana was all the sudden the shit and the whole Seattle Grunge crap took over.
