Music Who made Poison a Rock\Metal icon? - Page 7

**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!!!!

Absolutely not. I never said that Queensryche wasn't good. Just that they weren't over-rated because the were never that highly regarded.

What is with the reading comprehension around here?

But they were highly regarded. Just not by Billboard's Top 40. That is what we are trying to tell you.

i'd say the term "highly regarded" is a pretty objective one eh?

i know quite a few musicians that held queensryche in very high regard.

Case in point on sellingout...

Who stopped listening to the Oz when "Momma I'm Coming Home" started getting played every hour on the radio?

Your talking about fukin record sales. I'm talkin about how they're percieved. Guess what. The majority of the poulation doesn't give shit about Queensryche. You listed them with bands such as Floyd, Rush, Halen etc.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but no one outside of Queesryche fans includes them with these guys in any way shape or form. Do you understand?
