ESOR LXA Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I been getting into a bit of poison lately and think they were one of the best band of the late 80's, up there with gnr. I dont know why so many people here hate them? open up and say ahhh has sold 10 million world wide. My fave tracks on this album are nothin but a good time, fallen angel and ofcourse the best balled of rock history, every rose has its thorns.

Lone Sal Bug Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 ..nah.. their one of those bands you feel sorry for..cuz they werent as big as theyd like to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesy Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 They have catchy tunes. My musical taste is diverse and I'm not afraid to admit that I like some of their work, even though it probably lacks depth and integrity. A lot of people decide what bands they like based on the opinions of their social circles and the rock press, which is pretty fucking sad. Poison is considered to be pussy-pop music and that doesn't sit well with guys who wanna be bad-ass. Then again, there are some people who genuinely don't like them for their own reasons, and that's alright. Let us remember, though, that Slash auditioned for this band.

Guest knerken Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Catchy feelgood-songs and great party-music, but not a band I'd listen to when I'm home alone and want to listen to some good music. CC DeVille is a great guitarplayer too, but Bret Michaels can't sing at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're fun. He also didn't mention David Lee Roth solo and Cinderella, and of course KISS, but that's beside the point. Sure they aren't genius' when it comes to music but their music is catchy and fun to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONEZY Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Nothing wrong with Poison. I saw them in concert a couple of times. But I never liked the girly makeup shit. Of course, GnR started out with some girly makeup shit too, I didn't like that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
