Poison 1986-1991: Virtuoso Musicians and Great Chemistry

Man, that CC looks like Linda Evans gone on the game. Is there anything he can't do?!?

 

This thread is remarkably like the "Post pictures of god-tier comedians" threads on another popular forum. The joke is that the original poster kicks things off with a photo of Dane Cook.

 

I have seen/heard zero evidence to suggest they were any different during those years, musically. That live album is an absolute mess, especially without the visual aspect to go with it.

 

There's one listed on ebay. Of course, don't bother asking Go Hastings to confirm its existence. They just say they list by UPC and that's that. But I dare someone to take a chance. Never know, right?

I do like the B.C. Rich guitars C. C. played back in the 80's. Classic!

 

Troll of the year so far. Bravo, but I fear for your sanity, S.P.

 

Virtuosos?

 

But, for me at least, this thread is somehow less irritating than the "Is so-and-so the biggest star ever?" threads.

 

If he has any soul, I expect Eddie Van Halen will be calling soon.

 

That's true, and at least he didn't make a Kanye West thread. But I'd still rate S. P. Honeybunch's trolling as about a 6/10 (for comedy value more than the trolling). I expect more.

 

Ha! Yep! I worked at I-100 in the early 90's while I was a student at UT and Poison played every day and 3 (and I think again at 7p!).

 

How is it a mess?

 

I would have liked the post if you had posted a sample that wasn't mp3 quality.

 

Bret Michaels is OK, but he is no Mike Love in terms of being able to wow an audience.

 

The C. C. pic on the cover is actually my favorite of the four pics.

 

Which is your favorite model?

 

Don't lie, you get teary eyed when Every Rose comes on......

 

MTV man, MTV.

 

Nothing sloppy about the rest of the album.

 

The Gunslinger. This is the one I have.

 

The rest of it is OK and not that sloppy sounding for a live rock album. Hey what the heck..it's rock and roll not Weather Report.

 

I didn't mind Poison back in the day. They had some good songs, put on a grea,t high-energy live show but they were not virtuosos by any stretch of the imagination. The only time that word could possibly be tossed around was when either Richie Kotzen or Blues Saraceno were in the fold.

 

No issues liking the band. It had it's place. I owned a cassette at the time. Same with KISS, it had it's place. No one confuses these bands with Dire Straits or Rush though.

 

I found that Poison had a far better groove than Rush ever had.

 

Paul Gilbert played a BC Rich in Racer X. IMO, he is/was a virtuoso guitar player. CC Deville a virtuoso? No way. This is the last post I will make about it. I deep down believe you feel the same way.
