Music Who made Poison a Rock\Metal icon? - Page 12

**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!!!!

Went and saw Journey and Def Leppard last year here in OKC... Both acts were pretty solid... No Perry by the way...

BTW, they sold out their night at rocklahoma in 2007, no one else came close to them....

I still enjoy listening to that music on occasion. I grew up during that era. I dont worship it or go to any of the concerts though.

I realize that music isnt very deep, but it was fun and still is.

Some people just need to relax.

Yea, I saw Journey a few years ago when Frampton OPENED for them. I still have problems saying that with a straight face.

But they were good and the new singer wasn't much different from Perry, though when it counted you could tell he wasn't Stevey P.

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

You're kidding right ? Iron Man and Paranoid were both heavy airplay songs and Shot in the Dark was a huge radio hit all long before "Momma"

Iron Man and Paranoid are Black Sabbath songs.
