Gunsnrosesrules Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Few people know Slash almost became the guitarist for Poison Do you think they would have been more succesful bigger then GNR Whats your opinion? Mine is they would have been more succesful GNR would have been slightly less succesful and their popularity would have been about the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicious Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 i think slash would have been wasted with poison and GnR wouldn't be as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash is great but i don't think he could of made Poison into a massive success as big as Guns N' Roses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wando Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 I beleive Poison would be better.. Just another 80's hair metal band though (just like it's now). GN'R wouldn't have gotten near this popular.. It'd be just another 80's hair metal band too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildrose Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Better for Poison yes. Better for GNR no bloody way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadpool89 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 yeah i read in an old circus magazine that they wanted slash to introduce himself at the beginning of a show"hi! i'm slash" after that he changed his mind! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is they would have been more succesful GNR would have been slightly less succesful and their popularity would have been about the sameHe was never close to becoming Poison's guitarist. He hated their guts. I have an interview where he says that someone from Poison came up to him and wanted to shake his hand, and he told him to get out of his face.

Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Poison would be known for possessing a guitar icon, but I would never appreciate him as much because he would have been in Poison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleTalkinJive Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 They'd still have a terrible rhythm section. And CC wrote a lot of their hits, he's probably a better composer than Slash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binge_And_Slash Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Actually it was Cinderella that Slash tried out to be the guitarist for.If that happened that would rule. However ego's would collide, Tom and Slash both extremely talented guitarists, would argue over who's doing what solo etc. And at the end of it, Tom Keifer can do alright on his own.

Duffan Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I don't think it ever would've gotten off the ground , just too different personalities and style of writing , in fact egos would've clashed very early , plus Slash's level of talent was at a much higher level than the other three and would've probably not meshed as well .

Axl&SlashRhot Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 No way in hell!The recipe of Axl and Slash was the best and can never be recreated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 They would have had a better guitarist,but I don't think the material would have been much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace GnR Nation Don't agree about the talent level,I think Poison is very talented,nobody stays around for 20 years and still has successful tours,plus good album sales and are not talented.Even though Poison has had it's ups and downs,with CC Deville,they always put the shit behind them and rock.I wish a couple of "other" egos I know well could do that,maybe my G'NR music collection could be as big as Poison's.

supersillyspacemonkey Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Axl was really the only one who could push slash to what he was.if he was in poison it would just be kinda like a comparison to velvet revolver.just mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sweet_Emotion Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 nah. bret and slash would never be as good as axl and slash. poison maybe would have been better but i dont think they wouldve got that big tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathalie92 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 (edited) No way...I think C.C it's perfect for Poison..Slash it's so much different than them,he was made to be with Guns..!! rock1 Poison's music has it's own style and it's because of C.C De Ville's guitar and Bret Michaels lirics..Bret and Slash together??mmmmmmmmmm i don't think so..
