*THE Rock of Love* 🎵 POISON "EVERY ROSE HAS ITS THORN" REACTION

[@williamwilson6887]

Cinderella’s “Don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone” is another great ballad with the unbelievably distinct voice of Tom Keifer. I’m sure you’d both enjoy it. Great channel guys !!!

[@chrystiholt5273]

I have been trying forever to get someone to listen to Cinderella. They are my absolute FAVORITE band. They sound as good live as the do recorded.

[@terryspak5763]

@@chrystiholt5273 Yeah, I'm from that era and always liked them. They were among the under-rated. Way, way WAY better than Poison.

[@jeffrichards1537]

I always liked the video for Cinderella song Nobody's fool.

[@grantbaechler3529]

I’ve been asking for Cinderella and Collective soul with no luck.

[@MrJoeyZaZa]

I love Lex...she is all about the solo.... I can feel ya girl. The solo gets take your soul if the guitarist hits it right.

[@swcoder]

She needs to hear some White Lion. Vitto nails it.

[@СветозарНовокрещенов]

A couple of Extreme songs with crazy riffs and solos by Nuno will surely impress Lex.

[@kwantoon]

Too bad C.C. Deville couldn't play it live lol I seen Poison 3 times and he butchered it every single time, that guy is a hack. However, Vito and Nuno are legit players and everyone should check them out. Vito was so distinctly unique in his style and writing, it's a shame he walked away from music. Then there's Nuno, a guy that possesses super human abilities, one of the greatest players to ever pick up a guitar.

[@СветозарНовокрещенов]

@@kwantoon Who is Vito? Never heard about him.

[@kwantoon]

[@loristone9242]

Something To Believe In is another great slow jam from them.

[@BillGraper]

YES, and it has my favorite CC solo!!! :)

[@robwalbridge3603]

Life goes on is also good. Love CC's solo on that one.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

This is my favorite Poison song by far and I love the OFFICIAL video the band did for it! 😳

[@davidleeroth784]

Hahaha what is this 😳 you crushing on Brett? Lol. Every girl was back then.

[@Eowyn187]

This really is one of the best rock ballads out there. The whole vibe

[@gunz2090]

Ballad day on the Brad and Lex show..... All of them great choices

[@sherryheim5504]

I think every night has its dawn to me means that everything moves on. This is a beautiful song, that seemed to cross a few genres. I heard this song played in country bars, rock bars and even in department stores. Thank you.

[@fergieferguson2457]

You know I still listen to these songs everyday, have since they come out in the 80's,just everyday music to me,yea I'm an 80's reject...but its so much fun to watch reactions to ppl hearing them for the first time..and of course lex her reactions are priceless.... Ill say it again she was born in wrong era,but she knows good music...good vibes...

[@davidleeroth784]

Hahaha yes. We'd have loved to hang with her back then. She coulda brought Brad along as well. He'd been cool to vibe with while crusing to these songs.

[@greg2976]

I don't know of anyone in the music reaction field that gets into a song as much as Lex! Keep doing what you're doing!

[@TheEnnisfan]

This was a HUGE hit for Poison. It was #1 for a very long time. One of the great ballads of the 80s.

[@jamesmorrison959]

Something to believe in… a great song

[@lisacoleman9961]

I love watching y'all with my husband! I think y'all should try Fallen Angel by poison. Another of my favorite songs is poison by Alice Cooper.

[@erikroman4430]

Awesome song. I SO miss power ballads. No one does them anymore.

[@realisticthought1781]

A couple bands have them, but not many. Try angels by another lost year

[@hihoktf]

Rock ballads are awesome!

[@haps4273]

Brett Michaels wrote this song after calling up his girlfriend and hearing another guy's voice in the background. You have to check out the official music video for Poison's Somethin' To Believe In. Brett wrote the song after finding out over Christmas that the band's bodyguard and good friend passed away. He was staying at his mom's and wrote about some of life's injustices. The video has a special part about his friend. Poison has lots of good time fun songs, but they also have many serious songs. All of their songs are relatable and written from the heart.

[@allenwhitmer8192]

Again, the video is a must for this one Brad will especially appreciate it

[@kristinabushnell3652]

Love Poison!! Brett wrote this song while on tour after calling home and having another man answer the phone. He thought it was to country for Poison, but the rest of the band luckily convinced him to record it. Unskinny Bop and Something To Believe In are a couple other good songs by them. Great reaction!! 🙂

[@Levi_Amongst_the_Watchers]

I got to see them in concert back in 2002 I believe. It was an awesome show, there were there with Warrent and Quiet Riot as their opening acts.

[@theriomrasputin8233]

Shame both bands singers are now no longer with us.

[@kellyhouse4263]

My very first concert was Poison! 🤟 I was in this video but the footage was from a different song lol. Got to check out 'I Wont Forget You', it's me and my man's song. We met when I was 13 & he was 14, we ended up together in the end.❤

[@djcease1996]

I am taking my fiancee to see them this coming year. The irony I'm a huge Bret Michaels fan but she can't stand them.

[@efakter1]

Brad are you now starting to get the gist of these guitar solos with feelings yet? You’re getting there bro keep listening to these heavy mellow tunes

[@joeschmoe665]

There was a period in the early 90’s where rock went to rock ballads. It was kinda cool at the time (especially if you were on the dating scene). Looking back on it now, the rock bands/producers were trying stay alive while rap and grunge was on the rise. This still is and always will be one of my favs. Great reaction!

[@sanecrazy12]

Seen this concert just before heading to basic training. Great times!!

[@AugieDoggyDoo]

We want to see you experience the whole song from time to time without commenting and then your review because it is awesome to see a song catch you and see your expressions. I know Lex has the music in her soul because she feels it so much.

[@TheNewRevolution]

This song was about a real life experience Brett Michaels had. He thought a woman he was dating and cared about very much was exclusive, only to find she was cheating on him and chose the other guy. Heartbreak=great art.

[@TheNewRevolution]

@dmb1990 one man's trash is another man's treasure.

@dmb1990 Clicking on your profile I see your last 2 comments on this channel are on 2 other videos where you're also crying about "hair bands" 🤣🤣

[@djcease1996]

@dmb1990 That is your opinion and it is a terrible one at that. "hair" bands offered us some of the best music we have today. Don't like Poison? Get off this video 💯

[@dillonrose9866]

Love y’all’s good vibes n appreciation love for music n to watch y’all react to all kinds of music keep up the good vibes 🤘🤟🤘

[@codyflake3080]

One of my favorites by Poison and I’ve been through this like most people. It’s pretty much why anytime I hear this now it’s a struggle for me to not cry my heart out.

[@LN-Lifer]

I can't believe I use to cry to this song. Embarrassing. Sigh. But this song and Chicago got me thru my very first heartbreak

[@erikstrohl286]

Something to believe in..... is a must 👌

[@tweaked7476]

If you liked that guitar solo Lex, check out life goes on by Poison. That solo gives me chills every time 30 years later.

[@kevinklingered]

brad seems like such a cool guy when hes not scowling or concentrating too hard n lex has definitely worked on her groove moves

[@anniiaha]

Lex...if you like guitar solos you HAVE to listen to Poison's song "Life Goes On". 100% one of the most underrated solos from that era. 10/10 you'll love it.

[@poisonlady1965]

Thanks for the wonderful reaction to my fave band and fave song ever! The guitar rif to close it out is actually a chord he learned when he started playing guitar (Bret Michaels).

[@sandranettles4833]

This was so huge in my day. Banger/Ballad of beauty 😍

One of my all time favorite songs

[@drgwhatsthetruth3783]

From one of my short stories, A rose, not so lovly, once bitten by it's thorn.

[@johnkisselstein2285]

Being a old 80's hair band expert there was some really good power ballads that even ran into the early 90's . You guys would love any or all of the following: Mr. Big "To Be With You", Bad English "When I See You Smile", or even the Supergroup Damn Yankees "High Enough" featuring Tommy Shaw of Styx, Jack Blades of Night Ranger, and the Detroit Rocker Ted Nugent!!

[@vtbmpskier5400]

yup they gotta do Mr Big! And bad English when can I see you smile Is a good one!

[@scotthatcher5043]

Poison's first two albums were fun. It's one of those things everyone wanted.

[@charlesdavis9100]

Every time I hear the Chorus I am reminded of a poem I read in my British Lit class in High School. I don't remember the name nor who wrote it. But It was about how 2 lovers died. They were buried together, and on their grave grew the first rose. The beauty of the petals represented her, and thorns were him protecting that beauty. I wish I could find that poem.

[@loriemills8337]

Yes, took me back to my high school yrs and my first love ❤ 😍

Check out Something to Believe In...killer song! And watch the video. Gotta watch all the official videos from the 80's...you're missing out. Bands put just as much money in their videos as they did the album back then....MTV was new they actually played videos 24/7.

[@villaincorp7728]

the first song we learned on guitar in the 90's. like 4 total chords. simple but great song. you should listen to "Something to believe in". he wrote it for one of his best friends who was also a roadie i think it was, who committed suicide.

Your reactions really help make the ending of a long workday a little bit better. I can remember having similar reactions to these songs when I heard them back when they came out. Since you guys are going down the power ballad rabbit hole you should check out Dokken's power ballads Alone Again and In My Dreams.

[@tomblancett3041]

This was a MONSTER "Power Ballet" almost every hair band had at least one power ballet.

[@edwardpaulsen1074]

Duse... just wanted to point out that ballet is super skinny people in skin tight outfits dancing around in tutus... Ballads are the slower songs with a lot of heart felt emotion... no disrespect meant, just letting you know as a fellow metal bro... 🤘😉🤘

The dawn is the bad side to a good night for a lot of people. At night you can be with a lover or it’s time to be with your family and children, for the dawn brings “the daily grind” and the craziness and noise of work.

Back in the 80's these were Power Ballads. But we also called them Panty droppers.🤣

Brett Michaels has a house in south county here in Arkansas. I've met some of his performers in his side band. Really good guys. I got em a tour of the Planter's Peanut Factory including taking their pics in front of the Mr. Peanut statue.

[@phillipkolcjr7754]

If no one has told you yet, all the guitar players from hair metal bands era started playing guitar by learning the blues first. It's a huge influence on the guitar players from the '80s.. The guitar player for poison CC DeVille is no exception. However their music does evolve. They have a lot of albums over a lot of years. Their last album I believe was in 2010
