Bono Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 The music snobs are out in full force. Hilarious how many of you completely lack the brain capacity to understand that even though Slash is world class and an iconic guitar legend, the FACT is his style wasn't suited to Poison's style of music. You geeks can sit there and mock Poison's decision to go with CC all you want but the reality is Poison was very successful and CC fit the band perfectly for what they were. It's just hilarious to see how righteous some of you are in thinking that Poison would've gone on to be amazing with Slash in the band as if you know what would've come of it as if Slash's tone with Bret's vocals and lyrics would've been everything you've always dreamed of. Fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gackt Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 CC's style and playing compliment Bret Michaels well in Poison, only an elitist pleb would try to knock CC down just because Slash was rejected in favor of him The same goes for when Red Hot Chili Peppers was auditioning for a guitarist also, they were hunting for somebody who fit their style more than a virtuoso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember that, only the rivalry/feud between GN'R and Motley Crue. Although living in England, I didn't read the magazines you mention, it was Kerrang, Raw and Metal Hammer over here.

In the very early days there was a lot of trash talk back and forth between Poison and GNR. Mostly instigated by GNR as I recall. Slash and Axl in particular. They used to try a little too hard with their whole 'we're not like all the other Hollywood bands/bands this magazine writes about' thing. Which they weren't, but still. And the main target of that was always Poison. And I don't like Poison but looking back I can kind of see their side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stella Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 9 hours ago, Rovim said: Slash saw Poison as a vehicle to get his name out there, to make it. If he was pissed off he didn't get the gig, that makes sense. Why audition if you don't want it, they didn't go with you, that naturally could piss someone off. And can only be an ego thing for some people. No one likes to get rejected and even then Slash was a great guitar player and he probably thought they would hire him based on his talent and how shit Poison are as a band. This. He was applying for a job. He didn't get it. It is totally reasonable to think he was annoyed. Nobody likes to be rejected when they audition, even if it turns out that the gig wouldn't have been the best match. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacdaniel Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 All members of Guns looked a little more "Glam" in the mid 80's. I think they all made a conscious effort not to be that when they banded together. They were young and trying to find their path / image. Funny how one audition can change so many things.

dalsh327 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 No one likes rejection, so it's not a surprise Slash has trashed the Poison audition over the years, he was probably just thinking about how much money he stood to make at the time. It's funny that CC sounds like Joe Pesci.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lean towards Rikki on this one. Slash probably wanted that gig. Yes, with the fact that Slash uses glue to make his hat stay on because he's bald.
