Music Who made Poison a Rock\Metal icon? - Page 4

**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!!!!

That has got to be one of the most overrated bands, some people talk about them like they are this all time great band.

Popularity and making money obviously sucks.

Probably the best band towards the end of it all until DeGarmo left. Operation Mindcrime was really the last phenom album of that genre. Emprie was good and all, but Operation was the flat out shizit!

Dude, you are ****ing sick. If you think the Ryche was overrated then you truly have no taste in metal at all. They had some of the most intricate harmonies, wide ranging vocals and one of the most creative drummers of any band.
They literally were a true combo of Floyd, Maiden and Rush with just enough Van Halen\Rhodes style of leads.

I know. And that is when they became the sell-outs and thus began the road to suckage.

Too take that even further, they took the inverted chord where the power chord stopped.

I agree. One-hit-wonders. Silent lucidity came out like 18 years ago...

while i'm not the biggest Queensryche fan around, even back then it was pretty apparent that they were more about substance, less about flash.

Motley Crue's makeup never went to this extent. They were trying to be Kiss, but not really.

These bundle of stickss look like they are ready to french the mail man.

Queensryche were very very talented, they just didn't model themselves as some kind of top 40 band.

What about Operation Mindcrime? Silent Lucidity was at the end of Queensryche's run and hardly what I would consider their best material.
