true confessions
I used to LOVE this band.
Who's this? Seriously, you don't recognize them??? It's Poison! Remember?? From, like, 1988!?!?
What in god's name was I thinking??? I aspired to play guitar like C.C. Deville (the one with the creepy white-blonde hair...). The first song I ever learned the chords for was "Every Rose Has Its Thorn."
See the way they write their name? All slanty and cool? I wrote "Poison" in all my notebooks, just like that, when I was in the 8th grade. I thought it was SO AWESOME.
Anyway, I just read today that they're releasing an album of covers and I think I actually shuddered. Yikes. I won't even pretend to be interested in the new album, though I wouldn't mind a recent photograph of these guys. Let's see if they ever woke up and washed the make-up off...

Hee. I loved them and I had their logo down pat too for notebook and Keds-decoration purposes. Sadly, their music didn't hold up at all. I can't stand to hear them now, even out of nostalgia.
I loved them too. But later. Much later. And a lot less makeup.
thanks for putting that song in my head.
they are still pretty awesome, they have great music. the only thing that gets to me is bret micheals and the whole 'ROCK OF LOVE' thing... from what i read, you are embaressed to have said you liked them, my advice to you, buy the new album and see what the have done since 1988.. and yes ALOT less makeup!
