    During the filming of the video, unbeknownst to Michaels, the director had inserted footage of James Kimo Maano which was playing on a screen in front of Bret. This was done to try to draw an emotional reaction from Michaels. It worked so well that Michaels lost his composure and had to leave the set for several hours. On the final cut of the video, during the second verse, Michaels can be seen visually holding back tears as he momentarily stops singing.

      Heartbreaking everything in this song. Some ppl go through things that others can't comprehend...you NEED something to believe in.
      But Christmas yeah hard heard time to go through. My Daddy past on 12/22. But I try to think of all the lessons he taught and the goofball things he did and say. Making sure my kids know he is still with us just in a special way.

    Great song! My dad was a Vietnam Vet and was a highly decorated soldier. He didn’t talk much about the war just bits and pieces growing up. I know when he came back from the war people booed and spit on him. I can’t imagine the things those soldiers saw and gone through fighting in Vietnam. Brutal! Love your channel.

    The guy who died in the hotel room was his body guard and friend it happened in 1989 and it was Christmas Eve. He reacted by locking himself in his room and writing this song. The Vietnam vet was his cousin Bob who got injured in the war.

    Thank you for recognizing what volunteers have been through to make this country what it is today. The most free country in the world. My father served in Vietnam and I served in Desert Storm. If you can’t tell by the pic. Preach on brother and God speed to all our vets.
    And you are absolutely correct about Brett Michaels. He was not shown that footage of his best friend until that video and he had to fight back the tears.

    This is my favorite band ever and this song is so amazing. I was fortunate to be front and center at the stage when they p,aged this and I was looking up to this and the video was in the background. That concert sealed everything I love about 80s hair band music. It’s all real even if it was wrong.

    Similarly, I lost my cousin who was my best friend to addiction on Christmas eve. 8 months earlier I lost my brother to addiction 3 days before his 39th birthday. Three years later I lost my aunt, two years ago my father and just five months ago my uncle to other health related issues. There's been years of loss, grief and pain. Without Jesus, without knowing the mercy and grace of God I don't know what I'd be doing or where I'd be. I was fortunate enough to evade addiction. I have my remaining family, my doggie, my guitars, and a few close friends and my health that is struggling but getting better. What I keep close to me is a promise that I learned in the book of Job in the Bible about remaining faithful among the loss and pain. Years of loss, years of pain, years of sadness, loneliness and set backs, but I'm still faithful to our creator and most high God. One day at a time, I pray, thank God for what I have, and ask God for forgiveness for my sins, and ask him to step in and take the reigns. Yes my story is a sad one but I'm living testimony to the importance of faith in God.

    This song means a lot to Bret because he took the time to praise our troops and the sacrifices they and their families make to keep us safe before he and the band performed this deep song when I saw them in concert two years ago with my eldest son. The last time I saw Poison prior to that was when I was 18 in 1991 and both concerts were awesome. C.C. is an amazing guitarist and I’d love for you to check out their song Life Goes On because C.C. shreds in that one. You asked what keeps me smiling and keeps me going. That would be my young sons, no question!

    Loved this one Birdman. I have 2 uncles 1 on my father's side that was a Marine and 1 on my mom's side that was in the Army. They were both in Vietnam. My dad was in the army at the time also but brothers couldn't be there at the same time so my uncle spent 2 tours in Vietnam to keep my dad from going through that. He told me he was already crazy and didn't want my dad to see that. My moms brother lost 3 fingers in Vietnam and when he got off the plane coming home he was spit on and called a "baby killer". I come from a long line a military veterans. My grandpa on my moms side fought in WWII. So I was taught from a very early age to have respect and show our military respect. I still to this day I thank everyone I see and tell them "Welcome Home". I completely understand how angry it makes you feel. Take care, sending much love.

So we don’t get to see each other often. I think mom would like to move up there given most her children and grandkids are in that specific area. But she’s always said, since Grandma is still around. She doesn’t want to move away from her yet. Whenever in high school when there was a high school activity/function or a family event going on at the same time. I always chose going to see my relatives.

    Bret Michaels may have been shaking due to low blood sugar (he is type 1 diabetic) The scene where the bodyguard picked him up and carried him off the stage was because he was having a low blood sugar attack but wanted to keep performing. He ended up in the hospital because of that. Not only the bodyguard but also the lead singer of another 80s group died also.. His name was Janie Lane of Warrant. They showed him in the video also.

    The Red Letters in the good book... in the world we live in today it’s so hard for a lot of people to find anything to believe in. I have been away from my family for over a year working in Northern CA due to the Camp Fire in Paradise and I tell you what my brother the people in this community lost everything friends family there entire town. I’m not trying to sound depressing but these people some how some way between the grace of God and there pride came and continue to come together to rebuild there little town and if that ain’t something to believe in man I don’t know what is

    My father was a Vietnam vet and we lost him in Nov. Of 2019...he never got to see his purple heart or any of his other medals until after his death and I had to fight for them...my whole world is shattered without him and I just want him back...the only good thing he got out of it was his military burial..

He stated in an interview, that he didn't know they were using the footage. Sorry about the typos. Voice recognition can be stupid!

    This may be a bit off the wall for you, but I am throwing it out there. Birgitta Veksler. She is a Jew from Sweden. She was a pop star in Israel. After a near death experience she became a Christian. She sings incredible songs in Hebrew. Very powerful. Has a song ask God for guidance. Its about their neighbors wanting all the Jews to die. I sing out Elohim between cycles at the plant I work at. Its wonderful.

    What makes me more mad is the fact that soldiers are doing the same in Iraq, but they are called heroes. Brett Michaels had a good friend was also the bands security. He ended up committing suicide. He was a Vietnam veteran. I was in Desert storm, and I saw what we did. I will support our military. I just didn't think it was right. My bestfriend is a Vietnam veteran, and he struggles still. He had dog shit on him when he got back.
