Music Who made Poison a Rock\Metal icon? - Page 9

**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!!!!

Maybe you would like them better if they put on makeup and a ton of hairspray!

not to knock holes in that, but only two of those albums charted in the USA, and i'm thinking (based on the albums, dance of death and a matter of life and death) that no individual singles/songs made the list. since pete's post said "What Maiden song was on American Top 40?" i don't see how your post answers that.

Goodbye to Romance, Revelation Mother Earth,Dee, Tonight, So Tired, Killer of Giants?

Yes, all much better than Momma, that is for sure.

I was referring to the fact that you rarely ever heard Ozzy on the radio prior to Momma.

That may be true, but my post never included "American". Anyway, are we gonna argue that Iron Maiden is not one of the most successful, and recognizable bands of their era.

And that was a reason to stop listening to him, because he was on the radio too much?
