IS THIS HOT? 🎵 Poison - Talk Dirty To Me REACTION

[@playbassken]

"Who made those rules?" = hilarious! That was a good one, Lex!

[@johnkula1536]

The comedian Whitney Cummings once said "You are never supposed to scream during sex. That is so... gay. I don't care if a piranha is nibbling on your butthole."

[@c1ph3rpunk]

Lex is gonna like it. Pure hair metal, nothing meant to be serious, just have fun. That’s it, the only rule: HAVE FUN! Man I miss the 80’s. Where’d you get the clothes? The mall!

[@Shawn-mo6dh]

Just your typical Pennsylvania kid Brett and the boys were tired of playing Harrisburg, York. Etc so in 84 they took off for California and became legends

[@AndieO]

This guys have been my all time favourite group since they me out in the 80s..had a poster of the lead singer on the back of my door until I moved in with my boyfriend /husband in 2000..then he was banished to the spare room.. Lol.

[@TheAnonJohn]

Poison, motley crew... Times where party, girls and drinking was the day's menu

[@donaldluallen1152]

Those where some great times I love the 80s and early 90s

[@ddwchamp]

This band was really hot in the 80s. The ladies would rush to the front of the stage at their concerts. Their hits were big at dance clubs.

[@highwayblues638]

To promote this song back in the 80's they put adds in the personal section of many newspapers , saying Talk Dirty To Me , when you called the number you got to hear a clip of this song. It was real Fun ....

[@mikegoin6023]

Ahhhh the 80's. It was "Nothing but a Good Time" and a great time to be young!

[@mikesmelon5714]

This is before the "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" craze and they were a typical 80s party band. I loved all the BC Rich guitars that CC Deville had. 🤘🏼

[@johnsmith2046]

This was one of the most requested videos at that time (1987). I was 13 or 14 when it came out, and we loved the 1980's rock and what it had to offer. Cheers from a Gen X'er in northeast Ohio.

[@stanleydavidlepretre4241]

Same from someone who grew up in Vancouver BC, Canada.

[@USGrant-rr2by]

SouthEast OHIO!! RULED! Us Applalachians kicked your Cleveland asses!!!! No really, it's all good.

[@deniackeridge5273]

Close to 40 years later and they still put on one heck of a show. I've seen them 4 times. They still have this energy. I've never been to a bad Poison concert.

[@markwilliams6394]

I have.

[@deniackeridge5273]

​@@markwilliams6394 sorry to hear that

[@markwilliams6394]

The guys in Poison threw some flyers out in the audience after their set was over and hit me in the face. Then they flipped me off and said some obscenities to me. Showed me that they had no class and really didn't care about their fans unless they were hot girls. At least Cinderella and Loudness were good. But that's just my story.

[@deniackeridge5273]

Wow, I've never seen anything like that at any of their shows. That would make me not want to go again. I'm sorry you had a bad experience.

[@USGrant-rr2by]

@@deniackeridge5273 "Threw some flyers in my face after their set". OBVIOUSLY this was VERY EARLY in their career. POISON didn't have to throw FLYERS to anyone after their first album came out!! This guy's(mr. williams) a douche.

[@LOKISlog7]

80s glam metal at its finest. Surprisingly talented band, no matter how funny they and we as fan looked going to those shows. It was fun, and you could still listen to Metallica etc. They're still touring and sound good, just without the costumes. If you get a chance, check em' out.

[@auscryptocurrency1162]

thumbs up for using the word "metal"

[@edwardmunoz7853]

This was my childhood ❤️💯🔥🤘80's rocked you had to of been there

[@captaincapitalism264]

Exactly. A few years after their debut I discovered Metallica (late, yes), and yep could enjoy Both -- for different moods, times, etc. Metal is for everyone.

[@andreadeamon6419]

If you get the chance to see them - go. I've only missed them once in 30 some years - and that's because i ended up in the hospital instead. Long story. We used to get our fun clothes at the mall. They're a dying legacy now. We had so much fun back then

[@redsologlass8768]

This band was so fucking awesome in the 80's. They didn't take much seriously at all. Yes of course Motley Crew, Alice in Chains, Cinderella, Motor Head, ........ all of the Above in a bowling alley. But if you wanted to have fun. Or way more importantly, have the girls have fun. You will play Poison, Open up and say Ahhhhhh!!! That made a party happen.

[@bobbyrodriguez5309]

Saw them and Cheap Trick open for Ratt on the Dancing Undercover tour. Wasn't a huge Poison fan but they were decent in concert. Just in case you were wondering "talk dirty to me" is a play on words for going down on a woman and "talking". The hand gesture at 3:47 is "common-speak" for.... well...... uh hummm..... pleasuring orally. :)

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Poison is one of those bands were just regarded as another hair band but they have several fun catchy songs. As we;; the rock ballad or two.

[@MP-od1zz]

When this hit MTV back in the day, i always cranked up the volume. I would never trade away living in that musical era.

[@poguemom3]

These were my guys! Posters all over my wall, my first concert. I was obsessed!

[@susanconstable2113]

Poison is such a good fun party band. Best of the hair band era.

[@tizer1233]

To be in your high school years in the mid-late 80s, having 'hair' bands, heavy metal, and that generations version of glam rock be your soundtrack for those days...Thankful, Proud, Grateful!! 90'

[@Brian-zt9wz]

Good afternoon from New England...What a blast from the past..I saw Poison headline a 15k arena waaaay back in 1988 in Hartford Connecticut and they did put on one hell of a show...And I know I'll get some barbs but I think C.C. Devile is one of the most underrated guitarists of the hair metal genre..And I'm a straight up Metal fan but his catchy riffs and blazing solos helped put them on top of the Hair Metal heap...Thx for the uplift..🤘✌️👍

[@tommcdonough6086]

Brings me back to 86 , senior in high school saw them with Ratt, fun album some good songs off that first record that I personally loved were......#1 Bad Boy and Look what the Cat Dragged in the whole record was good, Where does the time go........ Peace.

[@jacleesx2022]

That was the 2nd concert I went to. Poison opened for RATT awesome show.

[@cattuslavandula]

Ah, the 80s. Clairol Ultra Blue powder hair bleach with Loreal Baby Beige toner for ice white color. Rat tail teasing comb with Aqua Net hairspray, aerosol or pump. Root touch up every 3 weeks. Yup, that was my life, lol. Talk Dirty to Me was a great driving song. Roll the windows down, sing along loudly. Of course, our hair didn't move at all. 🤣🤣🤣

[@GTLyons]

back then we "shopped" in our groupies closets... girls back then loved to dress us... but, for me personally, 99% of my wardrobe was denim and leather... worked in the 70's,80's and 90's... yep, thumbs up for another hairband reaction!

[@BLSdarrin]

Saw them in '86 open for Quiet Riot and Keel ( which cancelled that night due to bus breakdown). We didnt know who Poison was, was there to see Quiet Riot. We hung out back of venue, traded a swatch (Poison collected them at the time) to get backstage and hang out with them and watch QR's set. They had starch / water in spray bottles and gave us the hair metal treatment. Ended up going back to Days INN after show and hung out in 2 rooms with CC and Bobby Dall. CC had a new guitar and had book with EMS / Medical stickers and we put some on the guitar and I got to play it in the room and then after some chicks showed up we decided to give them some privacy and we left.

[@USGrant-rr2by]

Great story. I have kind of the same one...but with GnR. In Columbus,Oh in 88.

[@tambor76]

I always see bobby dall from the look what the cat dragged in era photos with swatches on his arm.

[@mgordon1100]

Funny! I saw Loverboy, and Quiet Riot opened for them. Nobody knew who Quiet Riot was, they were just loud and unintelligible. Then i heard their song on the radio two months later.

[@poguemom3]

I saw poison on the Open Up and Say Ahhh tour. They were with Tesla and I had no idea who Tesla was. I ran smack into those guys at a radio event that I thought Poison would be at and was clueless! 😂

[@sretePtraB]

Twisted Sister's Dee Snider, who was also dressed similar and with the make-up, said that his wife bought his outfits. Also, Brett Michaels is one of the only singers from those days, who still hits the notes.

[@Arborhawk]

Brad, the riff you like is actually taken from the Cheep Trick song: She's Tight. With the subject matter of both songs dealing with... well ya know.

[@fabian4ever69]

This was during my college years...late 80s. Great music!

[@tatushhimekuro]

I saw them when they opened for Ratt. The Ratt/Poison tour. Have always loved that. They were fun in concert

[@elizabethklaver7404]

Saw them many times in concert in the 80s. They were always so much fun on stage

[@seanbarker4610]

They were a fun band that wrote catchy songs, ultimately it's about entertainment!

[@robertserio809]

That is funny as hell. I used to watch MTV videos in the morning before school in the mid 80's when I lived with my grandparents. I remember one morning my Grandpa was sitting there with me and his only comment was, where do these guys get their clothes?

[@hmpz36911]

I'll never understand that image, but they're just a fun band at the end of the day.

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

The 80's were the greatest decade for music because it was fun, sexy and not depressing like the 90's and so forth! Just a blast..

[@AddictedtoProfit]

Poison was the MVP of the summer tour with motley Crue and def Leppard. It's not only my opinion but most comments reflect that too.

[@revwillyg6450]

Yes! Went out and stole the show in jeans and t-shirts, not a crazy stage set, CC looking like he joined a southern rock band 😂 Bret sounds like a million bucks compared to Large Vince and Joe Elliot

[@living_in_the_2606]

Poison and Britny Fox. My 1st concert in 1987. I was 13 years old. Seems like yesterday

[@mattpowell6682]

CC Devil is an underrated guitar player.

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

One of my favorite bands growing up because of my older sister who raised me on this since I was born in 85

[@leemcclements8889]

I love Brett Michaels. His solo concert is excellent. This was a young Poison...he's much better now.

[@lukeconverse6632]

Poison is and always will be my favorite hair band. 80s rick is so good and had positive vibes, and for some reason, people hate on 80s party rock. Poison, number 1

[@katestafford8837]

You guys are great!! This was this first video we ever saw from Poison on MTV. The hair and clothes were typical for the time.

[@lvalledor3440]

The drummer Rikki Rockett falling off his drum seat always gets me every time 😂

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

This was a huge hit in the eighties for Poison, one of my favorite “hair bands”! I loved this song! Guys can say more especially when they can’t get enough! 👀❤❤

[@wendydotson8891]

Poison is probably my favorite hair metal band. I love Brett’s voice and Cece’s guitar. Brett is say “behind the bushes” and I’m pretty sure his reference to him screamin for more is about her talkin dirty to him, that is the name of the song. I think he’s basically saying she drives him crazy (in a good way) because of her dirty talk.

[@hellboundrubber4448]

They auditioned several guitarists in Los Angeles and eventually narrowed it down to two candidates: Slash and C.C. DeVille. The band knew Slash from the band Hollywood Rose, of which he was a member before joining Guns N' Roses. Axl was in a band called L.A. Guns with guitarist Tracii Guns. Axl then formed Guns and Roses without Tracii.

[@bluetopguitar1104]

Can't help but be reminded of my crazy teenage years in the 70s. Ah youth.... Makes me smile.

[@melaniejordan1199]

MORE! MORE! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hey, Brad. Women can drive men crazy too! You guys are the best. Much love and thanks for the laughs.

[@geriatrixfpv]

Poison are the epitome of Blues Rock - they nail it so well... a very under-rated kick-ass band.

[@deborahdukes6096]

Glad you can appreciate this kind of 80’s music ! No agenda, no lessons, just pure fun ! 😊

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

the beginning of the end of the glam metal scene.

[@alexwimmergren5239]

EXCELLENT SONG! A+++

[@rowdyron4111]

Awesome!! Thanks.

[@sirdano2642]

Saw this band a few times and was never disappointed. They put on a great live show.

[@christophertidwell6724]

We got our clothes at the mall cut holes in our jeans and put on neon colored spandex under the jeans,then a kick ass band concert shirt and as many bandanas as we could tie off on our legs and wrist it was a really fun time. Our hair we would brush turn upside down and spray with hair spray to get the big hair again really fun time

[@robertreichle1]

Great example of how fun and catchy Hair Metal could be. Also a great example of why it needed to end. Woof.

[@mikesmelon5714]

Poison was one of my favorites coming up. I bought 'Open Up and say, Ahh' on vinyl before the cover was changed bc of the long tongue. CC Deville was a beast back then on his BC Rich guitars. 🔥

[@purplebeard1526]

Pretty good song from them.

[@MiguelLopez-is9te]

🤘❤🤘 Fun reactions, guys. I was 14 when Poison released this song & video. Definitely a song about getting it on but musically written in a way to have a fun time and disconnect from life's bulls**t for a while. The '80s was all about good music, good movies, great concerts, wild hair and clothes that made no sense. That's how kept our sanity and enjoyed the decade. Disconnect for a bit. Unlike today where so many people are connected 24/7 and popping meds to ease their stress and depression.

[@rutssy]

Great song. Thanks for reacting!

[@SARA-11-1]

Oh I remember those "drive-in" days!

[@mckrackin5324]

I know people think 80s hair bands was a genre but those of us that were there know they are talking about Poison. lol...

[@ronaldackerman7383]

The best party rock and roll group in my opinion plus one of the greatest love song I've ever heard thank you for your

[@marcgustafson6015]

[@x-rayvision3802]

Guys do!!! Nothing but a good time

[@joesmith8725]

Ah! Back when the fun and goofy glam and hair bands dominated the rock scene, '80s - early '90s. Before the mostly depressing grunge and post-grunge bands took over during the early '90s and '00s. Many songs, videos for yall to check out from Poison, too many to list here, but read the comments underneath me for suggestions. Tons of them from Poison during the '80s and '90s. They were a pretty talented band, BTW. You get clothes like the glam rock bands at the malls and KMarts during those years. lol.

[@whey4u]

Back in the day (80s) these guys would shop the women’s boutiques for their fashion so that’s why that look was different. There were no “rock n roll” clothes but there were ladies fashions that would work. My son used to work for the Affliction clothing line and the drummer for. Quiet Riit would come in and but woman’s jeans because they fit tight.

[@Whats-It-To-Ya]

Poison formed in a small PA town about an hour from me. They're still really popular around here.

[@deanromanado5850]

I saw them a couple years ago in Montreal ( with Def Leppard, who were awesome ). They were really good. I even got to talk to Bobby for a few minutes.

[@Whats-It-To-Ya]

@@deanromanado5850 that's awesome. Poison and Leppard were both notorious for putting on a good show. I'll bet it was a blast.

[@charliemoss6379]

[@ToyutahLifein]

This was another part of the many genres the 80s had. They started what a lot of bands wanted, popularity- attention grabbers $$$. I heard around 30 others like them for a month or so, but stuck with the good ones I liked before they came out.

[@mikeedward9595]

Man. So catchy. So so so catchy. You can't help but sing along.

[@ischmidt]

Saw these guys in '87 or '88 with then-solo Don Dokken opening. It was a good time with good songs, and they played surprisingly well live for how party-oriented their image was.

[@MarioCrosby]

"Something to Believe In" is an excellent song that I would consider doing next. Shows a different side to the band, just like "Every Rose Has Its Thorn". You won't be disappointed.

[@USGrant-rr2by]

Just wanted to be another numbers and letters name to reply. Too lazy to change it to a real name. Have they done unskinny bop yet?

[@MarioCrosby]

@@USGrant-rr2by I don't believe so.

[@USGrant-rr2by]

@@user-xs6um7kn8p K? Google gave all people without any numbers in their name letters and numbers because it reorganized into alphabet. You can go back and redo your URL name if you want so it shows below the videos. People can still see your original name if they reply. Second: Unskinny Bop is about sex with multiple partners. Written by CC Deville who had a lot of experience with it!! And..it's not any worse than any of their other songs. Glam Metal wasn't about the "depth" of their music!

[@ericpoirier9735]

right on ,,, lol Brad where you been dude lol ,, when I was in glam bands back in the day we went to women's shops to find stage wear. yeah we had a blast in those days

[@captaincapitalism264]

When they came to Seattle in '86 or '87 on the tour when they were opening for Ratt, they put on such an amazing show -- with HALF the stage of Ratt's -- I was hooked. I'm not kidding: acrobatics happened on the stage...WHILE playing accurately. They are a glam metal staple, and deservedly so.

[@jeffreekoch9298]

Wasn't a big fan of glam rock, metal lite back (lot of it was very corny) then when I was a kid. Glam was huge during the 80s and early 90s. MTV and rock radio stations overplayed hair bands back then. But, I've always liked Poison. They were a fun group! With fun songs and videos. They had an older sound to them like 70s glam (Cheap Trick, T Rex, Sweet, New York Dolls) and a little power pop, maybe that's why 😆. They were huge in the 80s and early 90s. The chicks loved them.

[@annpilgrim7685]

Metalheads called them Posers, due to the heavy feminine image and pop rock sound/lyrics.

[@topjimmythe1]

Hey Brad - I'm glad you're man enough to like the girly, glitz rock of hair metal. Some of my friends slam on it and I might lose some of my punk rock creds here, but I simply must admit, there's some pretty good hair metal out there.

[@tskwerl]

A lot of people dismiss "hair metal" bands, but it was just fun music you could bop to.

LOL Ahhhhh the good ole days of Hair bands. I swear this band solely made Aqua Net a fortune 500 company LOL I do haveta admit they were better than most and a concert I saw, a split bill between Motley Crue and Poison, was one of the most energetic and entertaining show I ever saw. Not too shabby for what it is. Peace

[@catmanduu66]

No matter people thought of their look and music they put on one hell of a great live show. I saw them open for David Lee Roth on his first solo tour and they were larger than life. They had the lighted logo that's in this video, kind of like KISS, and it just made them seem bigger than some opening act.

[@tonyponchopeters]

I've recently noticed in 2023 that when music publications write stories or articles about that scene they've been calling it 'Glam Rock' or 80's Glam Rock. Real publishers are not calling it "Hair Metal" anymore.

[@auscryptocurrency1162]

Who are you reading they've got no idea, it wasn't even rock. It's always been "glam metal" or aka hair metal... keyword, metal

V Hager, here's to you, behind the bushes, both of us screaming for more, locking the cellar door, talking dirty. Yowza. Cool reactions, you two. Thanks for the tunes and the stroll down memory lane. Love your reactions. Brad, dude...you don't know what more the chicks want, ah, man. C'mon.

[@kellifranklin9872]

When these guys were at the height of their career I was a goth kid and had nothing but contempt for Poison. That’s what I told my friends anyway. I would come home after going out and crank this up in my room. They are still my guilty pleasure!

[@evilfantasy69]

The clothing is a mix of flashy womens accessories and clothing, including blouses and lingerie, and leather clothing you can find in S&M sex shops. Successful bands like Poison had someone exclusively working on their wardrobe. Sewing, shopping, laundry, etc. Forever 21 was around in the 80's so some of the clothing probably came from places like that too.

[@no_slay]

And Merry Go Round hadn't went out of business yet, I don't think. Our local bands shopped there 😉
