Poison has always been the Party Rock Band that partied hard and played hard on stage, in the early years especially. I’ve been going to Poison concerts since 1988 and they were wild then ! And today they are still all about just having fun and making music on stage. I’m sure that scene in this video were the bass player Bobby Is being helped to his feet is towards the end of that concert and because he was both exhausted and had a little too much to drink. Check out more Poison videos like , “ Nothing But a Good Time “ , Fallen Angel “, Flesh snd Blood” , “ I want Action”, “ Unskinny Bop” , “ Ride the Wind “ , “ Mama don’t dance “ , and so many more ! Definitely go see Poison this summer when they are there in Indy with Motley Crue, Def Leppard, and yes Joan Jett and the Blackhearts !
The video was filmed in Green Bay and Madison, Wi. I was at the Madison show (first ever concert and I was 15). Magical night for sure. Top 20 nights of my life.
6:03 -- Interesting fact: That was insulin shock. Right in the middle of their third set. A lot of people still think he was drunk or tripping, but he had type 1 diabetes.
Brett Michaels is awesome. OK she’s talking about her grandmother playing this song, that makes me feel really old, probably because I am this was music of my time
This is absolutely favorite group io all time. And if yall get a chance to go to that concert go. My first concert was Poison, Bon Jovi, and Def Leppard back in 1988. I was 12 years old. Still the best concert I ever went to!
Definitely need to check out "Something To Believe In", "Fallen Angel", "Nothin' But A Good Time", "Talk Dirty To Me" and "Unskinny Bop". DO NOT MISS that concert this summer! Check out as many songs from Poison, Motley Crue and Def Leppard as you can before the show. You'll have a much better time if you're familiar with the tracks. There's a lot to catch up to, so don't delay.
When MTV started in the 80's, i was about 8. My dad had a tape recorder, and i recorded songs from the tv. I really loved rock balads, and this was one of my favorites amongst Patience from Guns & Roses and I'll be there for you from Bon Jovi ❤
Brett was born not too far from where I live. But you have to listen to 'Something to Believe In'. Bretts bodyguard/best friend died and that song talks about him. Very emotional.
Fun fact every band member from Poison with the exception of CC is from Pennsylvania. CC joined the band after they left Pennsylvania and went to LA. The original guitarist Matt Smith left the band to go back to Pennsylvania after he found out he was gonna be a father. And the rest is history CC joined and the club band Paris from Pennsylvania became Poison in LA. I will be seeing the Stadium Tour on July 12th when they come to Hershey,Pennsylvania
I hope you read this My Grandpa used to do the lights for a local southern rock band in PA and knew Poison back when they were just a club band. One day they were coming up with song lyrics and my Grandpa says "Cowboys sing sad songs" Nice to have an awesome connection and I always look forward to hearing Every Rose Has Its Thorn.
This song saved my life. I was riding with my sister one night after going to our hometown to visit some friends and family. I had worked all night the night before and stayed up all day. She told me to go to sleep and she would drive home. She had one of those old flat-nosed vans from like the 80's. I popped a mixtape she had in the van into the cassette player and closed my eyes. This song was the last song on the mixtape and after It went off I opened my eyes to change it. My sister had fallen asleep at the wheel and we drifted off the side of the road and headed for a telephone pole maybe 50 feet away. Had that tape not clicked off we would have hit that pole going at least 55 miles per hour. I tell everyone this song saved my life. To this very day, I can not sleep when someone else is driving. I don't care how tired I am.
I drove and rode in a semi and my driving partner always got pissed off at me because I always fell asleep even in bad weather. I figure when it's my time hopefully it won't hurt too bad. If you fear death, you will never live
@@danpals7678 It's one thing if you kill yourself but it's another thing if you cause an accident that kills a lot of people that is so irresponsible and foolish you should not Be allowed to have a driver's license that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard what you just said If you want to take Foolish chances go do that with your own life not other peoples
My favorite Poison songs are Life Goes On, Fallen Angel, Something to Believe In, Cry Tough, I Won’t Forget You, Talk Dirty to Me, Nothin’ But a Good Time, and of course Every Rose Has its Thorn.
Listening to Poison always takes me back to my youth. I was 12 yrs old in 1988 and they were my first concert I went to. No shame, still like some Poison.
This came out when I was a Freshman in high school, and it was a hit. Poison's first two albums are albums most of us had. The late 1980's was a great time for music.
If you liked Poison in the 80s, you were not ready for this song when it came out. The serious side of a crazy band. It's still one of my all time favorite songs. Everything about it is beautiful.
The vocals… Bret Michaels. Yesterday was his 59th birthday! He wrote the song about a stripper he was in love with. She played him… badly. He actually never recovered, never married, never been able to trust again. He is playing acoustic guitar. The guitar solo by CC DeVille, so talented. Gave everything up for drugs. They were actually playing on live TV at Grammys and CC played the wrong song. Off stage Bret went after him. Beat the crap outta CC. Fired him. Bobby Dahl on bass guitar. They carried him off because he was STONED and was about to pass out. Drummer Ricky Rocket has had a rough time with cancer from HPV. With new immunotherapy, he actually is cured. If you are going to their concert this year, you will be fortunate to see all four original members. That’s unusual. For a band with the party and fighting history, someone is usually pissed or dead. Enjoy the concert …. Be prepared. ANYTHING GOES… at a rock concert. ANYTHING! Last time I saw Poison was in early 2000s. Brett is a severe diabetic and several years ago had a brain aneurysm that almost killed him. After recovering, his style mellowed but his performance actually got less flashy but had more substance. It was a great show with Quiet Riot and Warrant. New comer that opened for the main event…. Kid Rock. Def Leppard will blow you away but understand, these guys are not the same as they are in these videos. Time takes a toll. Joe Elliott, lead vocal for Def Leppard can’t hit those high squeals he used to and Vince Neal of Motley Crue is so fat, he can’t sing at all. Had to leave in the middle of a concert, not long ago. But in our prime…. We were all smokin….
I was never a fan of the big hair bands.. did love this song. Tough to get old.. I'm all gray haired and not what was in the day. Video put most performers in bottles where they never changed. Elvis was perfection in my mind.. but he got old and fat and died laying in the bathroom.. yuk. I wanted to keep my Elvis in that perfect bottled state.
I heard Bret say that he was In a laundromat when he wrote the lyrics. He said he'd called her and heard another guy's voice in the background and eventually found out what was going on.
@@creinicke1000 Yup! Age happens to all of us. I never got into the glam or hair band LABELS. It’s very deceiving. They were mostly talented young men sharing that gift with us. I admire talent. I can’t play a guitar or sing but I enjoy those who can, and love so much that you can see how much fun they are having. Songwriting…. From Lennon to Dylan to Ozzy, that’s an amazing talent Add long luxurious hair, some guyliner and a pair of tight jeans…. This old lady pays attention. Wink wink! LOL. But when it’s time to retire…. Go with class. No one’s gonna remember Vince young. He’s gonna be that guy that walked out of a concert because he needed oxygen.
@@YesMyTatsAreReal Yeah…. Brett’s had some tough patches. I gotta admire a man that fights back tho. I thought that aneurism would take him out but he’s a fighter. Still can sing and move. I really enjoyed seeing him.
You guys have got to go to the concert! I’m going in June with my mom. I bought tickets as an early birthday surprise since she loves everyone who’s going to perform. I’m counting down the days. 😁 Great reaction as always!
Bret Michaels has such a distinctive voice that I recognized it immediately when he was on The Masked Singer in the banana costume. I was 80% sure after the first performance. I was 100% sure after the second performance.
..gotta love some Poison!!. ..all the "hairspray 80s" rock is a total vibe. ..this was one of the 1st songs I learned how to play. ..another good one to check out by them is "SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN". ..keep killin the reactions!!. ...love seeing you 2 pick at eachother. ..very genuine!!. ....PS - ..its ok to cry. ..haha
This is so fitting lost my oldest cat friend today Simba was 9 years old and this was our tune we would rock to cleaning the house. R.I.P Simba gonna be a good one 👍
Lost my 12yo Yorkie in November. Honestly you never stop thinking of them or their little personalities. You just have to find the way to keep moving forward that works for you. My condolences on the loss of Simba!
@Sebastian 🤘 🤣 🤣 hey I don’t blame ya, but to be honest with ya I wouldn’t give back the generation I grew up in to be younger and growing up in todays generation for anything in the world
Nice to finally be introduced too you Chris and your grandma sounds cool too I could hang with y’all’s Grandmas …. All this bands are worth going to see for sure
I was stationed at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis back 1989. I'm pretty sure they closed that base years ago. Loved that city. I'm from Virginia but live in San Diego now. Great reactions, thanks.
I was born at Fort Benjamin Harrison in 1971. I graduated High School in 1989. Your message really caught my eye! I've never seen anyone mention that base. WOW!
@@jennhurl that is awesome. I was born in 1970 in Richmond. VA . I was 18 years old when I got to Indianapolis. I think we both made each other smile. Thanks.
Sweet Reaction. 🤘💜🤘 Poison was such a fun band, in the '80s. We first seen them in concert, in April of 1986, when they opened up for Ratt. We got our tickets for the Joan Jett, Poison, Def-Lappard and Motley Crue concert this summer!😁
Now you guys know the song behind the John Mayer and Dave Chappelle skit. This song was played so heavily. I can still see the lighters swaying back and forth in the dark.
It's been a long time since I have listened to this song. It makes me recall my more youthful days. Much more youthful than my 58 years old now. If only I could go back to those days, knowing what I know now. I would do things a lot different, but who on.y knows if it would still work out the way I wish it had. In the end, it was all my own fault and to this day I am still angry at myself and my own hard headed stupidity.
The hardest sounding song they have is "Look What the Cat Dragged In", from the album of the same name. It was their first big album. Another band that has a harder than the norm song is Warrant, their song "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Both are awesome, but rarely get reviewed as they were deeper cuts. Check them out if you never have. GO TO THAT CONCERT, you'll have "Nothing But a Good Time"! Another Poison song btw.
According to Bret Michaels (lead vocals) of Poison, he wrote 'Every rose has its thorn' about heartbreak, after discovering his girl was cheating on him while he was on tour... it became a #1 single in 1988 from Poison's 2nd album 'Open up & say aah!' Poison got a lot of hate cos girls loved 'em, but they were all about having a good time... they score 3 multi platinum records by 1991... but then Nirvana, Pearl Jam & the grunge rock scene killed their popularity in 1992... and original guitarist C.C. DeVille was fired around '91... In 1993, Poison released a really good album 'Native tongue' w/ guitarist Ritchie Kotzen, but Poison was the antithesis of what was popular that year. Thankfully, the original Poison (Singer Bret Michaels, guitarist C.C. DeVille, bassist Bobby Dall & drummer Rikki Rocket) did reunite, despite not releasing any new music for decades... but enjoyed a surge in popularity. Bret Michaels also launched a solo career and did reality TV (Eminem kinda dressed up like Michaels in the video for 'We made you') The footage from the video was a live concert from 1988 (?) when Poison was headlining their own arena tours as their 2nd album became a massive hit. Performers on stage have often collapsed from exhaustion or heat, and have to be carried offstage and given oxygen or medical treatment... that was for real. I recall people talking about (late singer) Meat Loaf touring in 1978 and he was a big fella... So, when he came off the stage from performing, he would usually collapse on the floor backstage from exhaustion, while people just walked around him. He had to be given oxygen to get him up & moving.
OH!He was to drunk to stand up.Song of my freshman year.Turn that radio up,blasting in my ride.lol!🤓Hey August is the big five 0.Should see about Louisville tickets for that concert. .Indy is a lil far, 3hours I think.
Brett micheals used to have reps write letters back to kids /teens in the 80s that were diabetic and would write him. I was so jealous in 2nd when a girl who was a severe diabetic read us a letter out loud in front of class.😂
The singer from Poison Bret Michaels is a type 1 diabetic and he admitted the rock and roll lifestyle, booze, drugs and just being on stage every night really took a toll on his body and there were times he needed to be carried offstage and needed medical attention. You 2 should go and check out the Motley Crue/Poison/Def Leppard/Joan Jett show and vlog it. That would be fire!!! It will most definitely be an experience you won't forget!!!
Bret Michaels (the lead singer) wrote this song in a laundromat after he called his girlfriend and heard a man talking in the background. It's their most popular song.
Bret Michaels did not write this song. A friend of mine actually wrote it in 1983 and sent it to the "songs and songwriters wanted" advertisement in the back pages of Rolling Stone magazine. It wasn't until years later that he heard it on the radio and acknowledged that it was actually his song they were using. Just a few adverbs and adjectives were conjugated differently, but it was definitely his song. I saw the spiral notebook with the original writing of it dated 1983. And no, it wasn't faked. It was virtually the same song. Although the original title was every rose has A thorn. He never copyrighted it or anything like that so he was basically SOL on any type of "compensation". Just a useless fun fact I figured I would share with you. Actually, every time this song comes up in conversation I feel obligated to share the true story about its origin. BTW.... Achy Breaky Heart wasn't written by Billy Ray Cyrus either. It was written by four brothers who were in a family band together. It was written by them and it was called Achin' Breakin' Heart.... until Billy Ray's management got a hold of it and made it their own. The music industry is heartless
While Poison was the essence of the 80s decade of Decadence, this song also hit the charts in both the country and rock charts. Other hairbands like GnR didn't like Poison much, they were huge. The 80s were a great time to be alive and I'm privileged to be witness to a great decade of music!
C C Deville is the magic giturest , he never got the respect he deserved , certainly at the time he was as big as Slash from guns N Roses, in fact Slash applied for the job of lead guitar in poison but it wasn't his sort of band , but he did play with Poison on more than one occasion!
Song like Dave Chappelles' "What Makes White People Dance"! Reaction like Grace Jones "Nipple to the Bottle never satisfied" or "We don't need no stinkin' drink glass!
What is a pin station? Yall remember? This is the song the black n white cop starts singing at the end of that last Chappelle skit yall did. lol...he was too dam lit as the show went on, had to be helped off.
I was 19 when this came out and I was teased so hard.. before I was married my maiden name was " Thorn" it seemed to be played at every party I was at and the stares and comments would start..lol. Poison was our group to cruise the strip with
Love that solo. CC makes the guitar cry.

Gotta react to Unskinny Bop!! Such a fun song!!
They weren't even close to Motley Crue with partying though.
@@marinemike1559 yes , Motley Crue took it to the next level !
@@BettyBicepGirls yeah tragic's lol

This is my all time fave of theirs great reaction. Next " Something To Believe In". By Poison
Another great song
Yes, yes and yes!!!!
They definitely need to react to that one!!
Something to believe in is so bleeping powerful and real.
Brett Michaels is awesome. OK she’s talking about her grandmother playing this song, that makes me feel really old, probably because I am this was music of my time
CC one of the greatest guitarists there has ever been.
Every Rose has its thorn is an awesome song

Chris you are a beautiful young lady…you to together are just fabulous.. lovelovelove ❤️🌸✌🏻
Fallen Angel was another follow-up hit to this song and the lyric of fallen angel was played out nicely in the original video version!
Beautiful song, quite poignant, can feel the words he sings 💙
Yea joan jett, def leppard, motley crue and poison...gonna see them in Cincinnati at Great American in July!!!!
Brett was born not too far from where I live. But you have to listen to 'Something to Believe In'. Bretts bodyguard/best friend died and that song talks about him. Very emotional.

This song saved my life. I was riding with my sister one night after going to our hometown to visit some friends and family. I had worked all night the night before and stayed up all day. She told me to go to sleep and she would drive home. She had one of those old flat-nosed vans from like the 80's. I popped a mixtape she had in the van into the cassette player and closed my eyes. This song was the last song on the mixtape and after It went off I opened my eyes to change it. My sister had fallen asleep at the wheel and we drifted off the side of the road and headed for a telephone pole maybe 50 feet away. Had that tape not clicked off we would have hit that pole going at least 55 miles per hour. I tell everyone this song saved my life. To this very day, I can not sleep when someone else is driving. I don't care how tired I am.
I drove and rode in a semi and my driving partner always got pissed off at me because I always fell asleep even in bad weather. I figure when it's my time hopefully it won't hurt too bad. If you fear death, you will never live

That's one of my all time favorite songs
Check out 'Something to Believe In'. Another great ballad.
Listening to Poison always takes me back to my youth. I was 12 yrs old in 1988 and they were my first concert I went to. No shame, still like some Poison.
I wasn't a big Poison fan back in their day but that last verse of this song is up there with the all-time great heartbreak songs.
This was the song that as a teenager when you had your heart broken you would sit in your room crying listening to it on repeat...
This came out when I was a Freshman in high school, and it was a hit. Poison's first two albums are albums most of us had. The late 1980's was a great time for music.

I've always been a sucker for a great rock ballad...and this is one for sure! If you haven't reacted to "Something To Believe In", you should.
One of the most fun concerts I went to was Kiss/ Poison in 2004, Rock the Nation tour 🔥🔥🎸🎸🤘🤘
Bret Michaels has such a distinctive voice that I recognized it immediately when he was on The Masked Singer in the banana costume. I was 80% sure after the first performance. I was 100% sure after the second performance.

My favourite kind of music. Heavy Mellow! 😎

Awwwwww I'm so very sorry! I know how much it hurts to lose a fur baby! What a blessing to have had him for 9 years. RIP Sweet Simba! 🐾
Thank you Jennifer my family and I are waiting for him to be cremated so he stays with us forever. Thanks a million.
Lost my 12yo Yorkie in November. Honestly you never stop thinking of them or their little personalities. You just have to find the way to keep moving forward that works for you. My condolences on the loss of Simba!
when you give it 110% on stage after a hour or two you have nothing left and pretty much collapse
Damn she just made me feel old as hell, talkin bout her grandma use to play this 😂
@Sebastian 🤘 right, just makes ya realize we ain’t spring chickens no more 🤣
@Sebastian 🤘 🤣 🤣 hey I don’t blame ya, but to be honest with ya I wouldn’t give back the generation I grew up in to be younger and growing up in todays generation for anything in the world
@Sebastian 🤘 Amen but nothing lasts forever 😉
@Sebastian 🤘 I agree 100% but someone asked me once “what if being born is dying and dying is birth” and I never looked at death the same since 🤔
@Sebastian 🤘 not sure 🤣 if not, maybe it should be
Poison was my jam riding by bike to high school in the late 80s lol. God bless
Great react! This song remindes me the day when I met my wife, back in 1989. It´sl "our song". Still gives me goosebumps
As a NYer I heard Penn Station and thought trains, the garden and some buskers playing this in the subway
Nice to finally be introduced too you Chris and your grandma sounds cool too I could hang with y’all’s Grandmas …. All this bands are worth going to see for sure
All those
When I was a teen, I bought the CD "Monster Ballads". I already knew all of the songs but mainly bought it because this one was on there lol
Me too lol
Yeah it does
My favorite song by them is "I Won't Forget You."
I was stationed at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis back 1989. I'm pretty sure they closed that base years ago. Loved that city. I'm from Virginia but live in San Diego now. Great reactions, thanks.

Sweet Reaction. 🤘💜🤘 Poison was such a fun band, in the '80s. We first seen them in concert, in April of 1986, when they opened up for Ratt. We got our tickets for the Joan Jett, Poison, Def-Lappard and Motley Crue concert this summer!😁
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts is on that bill, for that stadium concert, with Def Leppard, Motley Crüe, and Poison.
Its not just a song its poetry..
Now you guys know the song behind the John Mayer and Dave Chappelle skit. This song was played so heavily. I can still see the lighters swaying back and forth in the dark.

I got to see them along with Warrant and Quiet Riot about 21 or 22 years ago. It was a pretty good show, I suggest "Something to Believe In".
South Bend, Indiana native here. Love me some Penn Station lol. Big fan of your guys reaction videos. Keep it up.
Everyone scratches their eyes and says they “ Have something in their eyes”after listening to this song
Love this song
That's my go to song 🎵 😌

Poison- I won't forget you, look what the cat dragged in. Their best was 1st and 2nd albums.
Up next...Something To Believe In or Nothin' But a Good Time!! 🔥🔥
You guys are great to watch! Love your reviews of the videos/songs!
Its gonna be a lit concert.
Love seeing a young couple getting into us old people music😂😂🤘🤘
You should react to POISON - YOU CAN LOOK BUT YOU CANT TOUCH. Or FALLEN ANGEL(Official Music Video) or CRY TOUGH (Official Music Video)
According to Bret Michaels (lead vocals) of Poison, he wrote 'Every rose has its thorn' about heartbreak, after discovering his girl was cheating on him while he was on tour... it became a #1 single in 1988 from Poison's 2nd album 'Open up & say aah!'
Poison got a lot of hate cos girls loved 'em, but they were all about having a good time... they score 3 multi platinum records by 1991... but then Nirvana, Pearl Jam & the grunge rock scene killed their popularity in 1992... and original guitarist C.C. DeVille was fired around '91... In 1993, Poison released a really good album 'Native tongue' w/ guitarist Ritchie Kotzen, but Poison was the antithesis of what was popular that year.
Thankfully, the original Poison (Singer Bret Michaels, guitarist C.C. DeVille, bassist Bobby Dall & drummer Rikki Rocket) did reunite, despite not releasing any new music for decades... but enjoyed a surge in popularity.
Bret Michaels also launched a solo career and did reality TV (Eminem kinda dressed up like Michaels in the video for 'We made you')
The footage from the video was a live concert from 1988 (?) when Poison was headlining their own arena tours as their 2nd album became a massive hit. Performers on stage have often collapsed from exhaustion or heat, and have to be carried offstage and given oxygen or medical treatment... that was for real. I recall people talking about (late singer) Meat Loaf touring in 1978 and he was a big fella... So, when he came off the stage from performing, he would usually collapse on the floor backstage from exhaustion, while people just walked around him. He had to be given oxygen to get him up & moving.
Bc it was the 80s and he was hammered
Need to listen to something to believe in amazing video and song 👍
It’s from the bright lights from the stage and sometimes it wears them out
C.C. Deville to me is in the Top 5 of the greatest Rock Guitarist Of All Time!!
You should check out "Fallen Angel", "I Won't Forget You", "Life Goes On", "Something To Believe In" and "Ride The Wind" by Poison

OH!He was to drunk to stand up.Song of my freshman year.Turn that radio up,blasting in my ride.lol!🤓Hey August is the big five 0.Should see about Louisville tickets for that concert. .Indy is a lil far, 3hours I think.
These rock bands would do high octane crazy active concerts back then. He probably was exhausted.
Brett micheals used to have reps write letters back to kids /teens in the 80s that were diabetic and would write him. I was so jealous in 2nd when a girl who was a severe diabetic read us a letter out loud in front of class.😂
Watching from the bottom of the world New Zealand 🇳🇿 guys
Joan Jett will also be there . So glad u guys are exploring.other genras and yes I've seen all the bands here at least 1 time except for Motley Crue
Penn Station is the shizznit especially the chicken teriyaki. We got it here in Tennessee
The singer from Poison Bret Michaels is a type 1 diabetic and he admitted the rock and roll lifestyle, booze, drugs and just being on stage every night really took a toll on his body and there were times he needed to be carried offstage and needed medical attention. You 2 should go and check out the Motley Crue/Poison/Def Leppard/Joan Jett show and vlog it. That would be fire!!! It will most definitely be an experience you won't forget!!!
Bret Michaels (the lead singer) wrote this song in a laundromat after he called his girlfriend and heard a man talking in the background. It's their most popular song.
Bret Michaels did not write this song. A friend of mine actually wrote it in 1983 and sent it to the "songs and songwriters wanted" advertisement in the back pages of Rolling Stone magazine. It wasn't until years later that he heard it on the radio and acknowledged that it was actually his song they were using. Just a few adverbs and adjectives were conjugated differently, but it was definitely his song. I saw the spiral notebook with the original writing of it dated 1983. And no, it wasn't faked.
It was virtually the same song. Although the original title was every rose has A thorn. He never copyrighted it or anything like that so he was basically SOL on any type of "compensation". Just a useless fun fact I figured I would share with you. Actually, every time this song comes up in conversation I feel obligated to share the true story about its origin.
BTW.... Achy Breaky Heart wasn't written by Billy Ray Cyrus either. It was written by four brothers who were in a family band together. It was written by them and it was called Achin' Breakin' Heart.... until Billy Ray's management got a hold of it and made it their own.
The music industry is heartless
Hi Chris, I love your smile.
While Poison was the essence of the 80s decade of Decadence, this song also hit the charts in both the country and rock charts. Other hairbands like GnR didn't like Poison much, they were huge. The 80s were a great time to be alive and I'm privileged to be witness to a great decade of music!
They did a lot of shows with out a day off . He was exhausted
Check out Warrant "Uncle Tom's Cabin" official video. It's Amazing!!!
React to Michael Jackson- You Are Not Alone Live in Munich 1997
You have to do Poison's "Something to Believe In" next!!! Great song 🎵 🎶🎵🎶
I like Brett alot. 👍👍🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
C C Deville is the magic giturest , he never got the respect he deserved , certainly at the time he was as big as Slash from guns N Roses, in fact Slash applied for the job of lead guitar in poison but it wasn't his sort of band , but he did play with Poison on more than one occasion!
like ride the wind by them
Check out their song life goes on
Song like Dave Chappelles' "What Makes White People Dance"! Reaction like Grace Jones "Nipple to the Bottle never satisfied" or "We don't need no stinkin' drink glass!
❤️❤️❤️
What is a pin station? Yall remember? This is the song the black n white cop starts singing at the end of that last Chappelle skit yall did. lol...he was too dam lit as the show went on, had to be helped off.
I was 19 when this came out and I was teased so hard.. before I was married my maiden name was " Thorn" it seemed to be played at every party I was at and the stares and comments would start..lol. Poison was our group to cruise the strip with
Classic
Something to believe in next
