First Time Hearing POISON - Every Rose Has Its Thorn

POISON

[@ComicHorder410]

You couldnt be a "hair metal" or hard rock band in the 80s without a slow ballad on your album. This was one of the most popular in its day, definitely the best song from Poison. Their guitar player, CC Deville is very underrated imo too.

[@raylewis2121]

All hard rock bands had Power Ballads: Bob Jovi had a few including “I’ll Be There For You”. Foreigner: “I Want To Know What Love Is”. Skid Row: “I Remember You”. Heart: “Alone”. Every other song by Journey, on and on…….

[@loristone9242]

Right on. But cut away all the hair, wash off all the makeup, and strip away the goings on in the videos, and what you have is great rock n roll from Poison. CC Deville is indeed underrated. And they put on a great live show back in the day.

[@ComicHorder410]

@@loristone9242 Yup, out of his mind on coke and he could still shred better than most.

[@TheChad594]

Guitar, solos is what makes a power ballad

[@amykienitz6311]

Guys in 80’s band brought just as much hairspray as girls back then, probably what’s wrong with the ozone 😂😂😂😂

[@clintmorrison5863]

'Something to Believe In' by Poison is another great ballad.

[@devin2513]

Seeing these dudes discover and hear this great music for the first time is a joy to watch

[@sewitaliano7423]

I love how open they are to all genre 💞

[@ameshi4williams465]

Anyone else still close their eyes when they sing along "though it's been a while now, I can still feel so much pain"? Just me??? Lol

[@samilee8121]

Always 🌹

[@kevinguerin2718]

It was my first ever Karaoke song when I finally had the courage. Now it is my staple and I do it every time.

[@cjamesg1992]

Get over yourself and dont leave silly comments begging for attention

[@mrichards2211]

“Nothing But a Good Time”, “Talk Dirty to Me” highly recommend the videos for these and any Poison song really. They have so much fun. ❤️🔥

[@shanemason4031]

Something to believe in.. is another great song by poison

[@sixslinger9951]

I played in a rock roll band on the east coast in the mid 80s. I met Bret Michaels (the singer) in late '85 , early '86 right when they were out to promote their new album coming out. I had no clue who he was because they were only really known in the LA scene at that point. The minute they took the stage and seeing the crowd's reaction, I knew they would make it big. 6 or so months later, they went from relatively smaller to mid sized clubs to selling out arenas. It's cool to see fellow musicians start out like this and make it big in short order. It's also a rarity since millions of us musicians all tried to make it. They hit at the right time with the right formula, the right songs and the right look. If they would have hit the scene just 5 years later, they would have never been as big.

[@BettyBicepGirls]

Poison is still rocking today with all four original band members with the same high energy stage show fun concerts! Their music is mostly about just cutting loose and having “ nothing but a good time “ and that’s exactly what going to a Poison concert has and still is like today ! Check out some of their “ live” music videos as well as their original made for MTV videos from the ‘80’s … Like … “ Talk dirty to Me”, Fallen Angel, Unskinny Bop, I want Action, Ride the Wind, Look what the cat dragged in, and so many more !

[@beeflomein6154]

Saw them live in June and they went as hard as they did back in the day !

[@melschiavone]

They were fun to party with back in the day too. Nice and decent guys.

[@ajruther67]

Poison was an 80's Hair Glam Metal band. Songs: Nothin' But a Good Time, Talk Dirty to Me, Unkskinny Bop, Something to Believe In, Fallen Angel, Want Some Need Some.

[@steve9199]

Lead singer Brett Michaels has been quoted as saying he, "Liked a little rock in his country, and a little country in his rock!". One of the 80's biggest "Hair Metal" bands.

[@blitz3643]

Check out their song "something to believe in". I feel the meaning is a little deeper than this song even. My favorite by them.

[@AddictedtoProfit]

They might cry

[@jenniferbean7571]

Excellent choice 😎

[@ComicHorder410]

Darius Rucker is an incredible singer songwriter. His earlier stuff when he was with Hootie and the Blowfish is great. You should give Let Her Cry or Hold My Hand a go.

[@christinaw2518]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXOYmnepYtCri9k My fav live version of Let Her Cry

[@brandonfreeman2069]

Agree both are classics

[@PatmanXGames]

Only Wanna Be with You is also another great song by them but I think Let Her Cry is my favorite.

[@vikingjedi573]

Poison dominated MTV in the 80s. My favorite band of all time. Saw them live in concert in 1988 with David Lee Roth. Best songs: Nothin but a good time Look what the cat dragged in Fallen Angel Ride the Wind Something to believe in Unskinny Bop Stand

[@AlexHernandez-yb9rx]

I just saw Poison in August ‘22. I loved them when I was a teenager back in the late 80s-early 90s. They were very AMAZING live ❤

[@AddictedtoProfit]

Me too

[@kimmycook2698]

As a teenager in the 80's...hair bands were king. Cinderella, Motley Crue, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot...it was a vibe.

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

One of my favorites from early childhood since I was born in 85

[@dawngipe6324]

I love this song...I grew up in the 80s. Last night I got to see Brett Michaels for first time...I'm from pa and sorry I didn't see him back I'm the day, but at 60 he's still rockin just as good as ever....great show and I would go c him again if I get the chance

[@adrianmclaughlin9585]

Would love to see you react to: Tesla - "Love Song" & Skid Row - "I Remember You". They're right up your alley if you feel this. Much love from Canada. 🇨🇦👊🏼🎸

[@matthewdavis160]

Great recommendations

[@melissagutierrez8137]

Y'all are Amazing! I love your reactions, it's like a gift, thank you!

[@dipsydoodle7988]

You guys were so engaged in those lyrics. Great song. Poison will surprise you with most of their music. Definitely some 80s hair band rock. I think personally they were underrated. Check them out on video next time because they are er..visually interesting too. 😂 “Talk Dirty to Me” is a good choice for a video.

[@smcginley122]

Ahh, takes me back to my first love and the breakup of first love. The 80’s had epic rock ballads. Love you guys

[@mattburow6018]

This and Seperate ways by journey were my down in the dumps breaking up songs in high school. Wrap it up with Tom Petty- Breakdown and get over it :P

[@AugieDoggyDoo]

Definitely in my top 5 of Rock ballads. I love this song. Glad you reacted to it. Look up Something to believe in. GREAT SONG!

[@timroelofsen1563]

RaTT 🐁 cool 80’s band, still Rockin’ today

[@patrickmcgavin2245]

Poison is a glam metal band. If you want a banger you can't go wrong with Poison's Nothing but a good time. The message is clear what Bret Michaels is singing about.

[@OmegaSaiyan92]

Something To Believe In is another great Ballad by them, you also gotta check out Cry Tough. great song

[@poguemom3]

Poison will always have my heart. I grew up not getting to listen to much rock music. I discovered them my freshman year of high school. They were my first concert and I still love them so much! Definitely check out more of their music! These guys are a lot of fun!

[@blackandwhiteandtherainbow]

My favorite band poison has great songs . Love your reaction. Cc deville on that guitar was no joke his solos were great!

[@TwinkieGurlMeowMeow]

“Steelheart - I’ll Never Let You Go “will give you goosebumps! Hold ya tears boys, hold ya tears!! 80s metal bands rules.

[@staceynicole8978]

I love watching the four of your getting down to this and head bopping! This made my day!!! You brought the 80s back to my life by doing that together!!!

[@poisonlady1965]

Absolutely my fave song by my fave band. This song spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard harts at the end of the 80's. They had so many great hits and many tunes that are totally underrated. Please listen to more...they can definitely rock out too!

[@kimberlyosborne1977]

I loved Poison. You should check out Give Me Something To Believe In. Yes my favor song by them. Great reaction. You gotta love the 80's hair bands

[@Frostrazor]

one of the greatest rock power ballads of all time.

[@cherylhart7440]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE React to Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe Live. You will see some unbelievable guitar playing. He is truly a legend.

[@cw1956]

Darius Rucker was the lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish you should check out their song Let Her Cry.

[@pattybickham5138]

Ok Boys I am sorry I have been sick but this is Poison. One of their best albums which no this song was not on this, was Look What the Cat Dragged IN. Brett Michaels the lead singer wrote this song after a break up that went very amicable. WHICH is hard to do in my Generation. You kids are awesome and I am proud to watch you guys react to these songs. AND on a note that most of my generation that listened to this music, besides Stairway to Heaven this song at the end of the 80's made a LOT of guys very LUCKY if they were playing this song. That and the Boys to Men song. but that is for another time. Continue you Great work because you are making me smile when you guys play the songs of my YOUTH.

[@mamaflush9945]

I'd like to introduce you'll to some of the grooviest disco music you will ever hear, this will definitely have your toes tapping 👞 "KC & The Sunshine Band - (Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake, " This is a live performance, and don't forget to checkout their outfits...the 70's were certainly colorful 😏✨✨🕺🎶🎷😎

[@AuthorTeeceReeder]

Love your videos, you need to watch one of their official videos. Poison fan for life here! Hair Metal forever!

[@AgunziLFC]

This is one of my go-to Karaoke songs. Along with You've Lost that Lovin Feeling.

[@joeyrogers7017]

The height of Hair Metal, damn I remember this era! So many hair bands to choose from. My wife's name is Rose, too. My dad raised me on hair metal and heavy metal, my mom raised me on country, pop and Motown but around somewhere in the 80s I discovered rap. Long story. Fellas "Fallen Angel" is my favorite Poison song, it must be cranked and it's a definite fire extinguisher!

[@planojag595]

Poison was a cool 80s Hard Rock band with recognizable hits but what made the band great was C.C. Deville on lead guitar. There are many more Poison songs for you to discover but please at least check out their song Life Goes On if not just for the killer guitar showing C.C. at his best! I saw them in concert when I was 18 and again in 2019 when I was 46 and they rocked both times!

[@shayleethompson2794]

I love this song this is the first song I’ve learned how to play on guitar

[@brendaormiston5514]

You guys are adorable. I so much enjoy watching young folks seeing this stuff that I've been enjoying for some 40 years or more.

[@user-kw4hs5il2h]

❤❤❤❤❤I love watching your mind explore all the music. I grew up listening to everything I mean everything.

[@randygravel2057]

Underrated band 🫡

[@beckiramsey9561]

The video is great too, I love this song!!!❤❤❤🔥🔥 Great reaction guys!👏👏👏 You should watch the video and more by them!!😁

[@TheHessian123]

I have heard of several African American Country singers: DeFord Bailey, Charlie Pride, Aaron Neville. Lil Nas (Created a fusion between Hip Hop and Country). Lesley Riddle made huge strides in the beginnings of country music. Some of these were performers WAY back over 100 years ago some are more recent. Great question and great reaction.

[@dianesaienni5466]

That song was created when the singer called home from being out on tour and heard a guy in the backround with his girl. Truth.

[@matthewdavis160]

Yep, and he was at a bar in Dallas and an old cowboy said to him “Well, I guess every rose has its thorn” that’s why he shouts out the cowboy singing a sad song

[@MrWhitearchon]

poision is one of the greatest band that ever recorded music treat them with the respect they desrve..

[@matthewvade6553]

The lead singer, Bret Michaels, says that he wrote this song when he was out on tour, called home to talk to his girlfriend and heard her new boyfriend in the background. He sat down that night and wrote the lyrics. The girlfriend in question says that Bret was the one cheating, not her. But that's what the song is about. Relationship may be a beautiful thing, but there's always a thorn in it to stick you. This was Poison's only number one hit, although they had several others that charted quite well. I've seen them in concert eight times now, and they're one of the few bands of that era that still sound amazing. For me, their best ballad is actually a different song, "Something to Believe In." I highly recommend you check out that one.

[@meboy76]

I grew up in best times 80s 90s music was the best so much different types music and classics I listened to everything and still do to this day

[@mackenzie98]

So excited for this one, one of my fave songs ever! Something to believe in by poison is also good. Or unskinny pop for a faster pace.

[@monicar503]

80's Rock Ballard's at their best!! Poison is great! Check out these other songs of theirs... Nothing but a good time, Fallen angel, Something to believe in, Unskinny bop, Your mama don't dance... & sooo many more 😁🎶😁

[@shadow7796]

"Something to believe in" was huge from them as well. You guys would really like that one.

[@gloriaricarte1622]

Great reaction one of the top hair bands of the 80s love this song brings back memories.

[@robbiezee5256]

For more Darius Rucker listen to Hootie and the Blowfish. Darius is lead singer of the band. Some of their songs are Let her cry and Hold my hand and Only want to be with you.

[@lorimusior3029]

I love this band and they are fire! I listen to them everyday! I love all of poison's songs! Please do Fallen Angel!

[@AddictedtoProfit]

Poison life goes on is their most underrated song, the solo might be CC's best

[@matthewdavis160]

Dude, thank you! Was trying to remember the name of that song! Underrated for sure

[@mark5723]

Poison songs: Talk Dirty to Me, Something to believe in. There's so many but these are my two favorites.

[@derekchestnut5989]

Man. I respect yall for expanding and listening to different genres of music. 80s hair bands had some fire back in the day. Motley Crue had bangers "Home Sweet Home", Same Ol' Situation". Poison had more fire too. Guns and Roses had fire "November Rain", "WELCOME to the Jungle", "Paradise City" to name a few

[@72hawkj]

This song was the best song they ever did. Followed by Something to believe in. I put both in my top 5 songs of all time though so don't be mad. Both have a story to them that make them even better.

[@susieh1141]

Poison is one if my favorite bands! They were also my 1st concert. You definitely need to check out "I Want Action" and "Fallen Angel" As for black country singers check out Kane Brown "Heaven" "What If" "Be Like That" and Jimmie Allen "Down Home" "Big in A Small Town" "Livin' my Best Life".

[@matthewdavis160]

Fallen Angel is dope

[@cynthia-draws1012]

Must also listen to "Talk Dirty to Me", "Unskinny Bop", "Nothin' But A Good Time" and you can't forget "Something to Believe In" guitar sounds like it's screaming/crying.

[@livingmirror888]

For an idea of what the majority of their songs are like, besides the ballads, I'd recommend Nothing But a Good Time.

[@usagirl4188]

Darius Rucker, Charlie Pride, Arron Neville . Arron Neville with Linda Ronstadt. ,Is just a beautiful song!

[@TwistedDoll09]

Ahh, the "hair band" or "hair metal" era. The late 80s - early 90s had a lot of good bands but for me, even though I was just a kid, Poison was right up there with Guns N Roses and Motley Crue. You guys HAVE to react to some more Motley Crue. "Dr. Feelgood", "Same Ol' Situation" and "Don't Go Away" are personal favorites for me! Poison's song "Something To Believe In" is also great, and "Unskinny Bop" is a banger!

[@ccdev]

POISON rules! Bret CC Bobby Rikki LOVE U ALL!!!

[@ILLBNSANITY]

FUCK.YEAH.BROS!!! This isn't my style of song, but I consider it to be one of the best songs, period...timeless🎶🎸💥❤️‍🔥

[@dianaanzaldua8958]

Saw Poison in August... during the Stadium Tour 😎🤘🎸🎼🎤

[@ldavis8145]

Something to Believe In is another great song by Poison. Hope you react to it one day soon.

[@anelsatxlife]

You all need to react to Darius Rucker in the band he started in as lead singer for Hootie and the Blowfish! He had some great songs there too.

[@moonglow630]

Brings back memories of dancing at school dances my Senior year of High school

[@Mainecoonlady.]

Good 80s band. Brett Michaels wrote this about his stripper girlfriend who dumped him. Good songwriter. Guitar solo by CC deVille. He was top rated guitarist until he hooked up with cocaine and alcohol. Self destructed. Brett never got over this breakup. Although he could have any girl, he pick one to have children with but never married. And remember every rock album is required to have power ballads. Poison had some good old fashion rock songs too. I suggest you check out Skid Row. Best ballad .. I Remember You. Best rock vocals .. Wasted Time. This song written about their friend Steven Adler, drummer for Guns N Roses, almost died from heroin addiction. The music video is stunning. You will freak over the vocals.

[@matthewdavis160]

Impressive knowledge. I think the live video of ‘Rocket Queen’ is Guns N’ Roses at their best

[@matthewdavis160]

Great Skid Row suggestions ‘Wasted Time’ and ‘Darkened Room’ are phenomenal

[@amyduffield5565]

Another great 80s hair band ballad is I remember you by skid row. It's a great song

[@slawrence4162]

alan parsons project "EYE IN THE SKY", SKID ROW "YOUTH GONE WILD" or "I Remember You", Dirty Heads "Goonies" or "Sweet home California", Candlebox "You", Billy Joel "Still rock and roll to me". Happy new year brothers. Love, hope and faith to all of you and yours.

[@matthewdavis160]

Yes, Candlebox!

[@matthewdavis160]

Poison has so many good songs ‘Something to Believe In’ is a deep one too. For bangers check out ‘Look What the Cat Dragged In’; ‘Nothing but a Good Time’; ‘Fallen Angel’; ‘Cry Tough’ and ‘Ride the Wind’

[@WesIrwin74]

Check out Jimmie Allan - Down Home. He is a newer black country singer. I beleive he will be one of the top artists as well. Asfor my top 3 they are Ray Charles, Charlie Pride, and Darius Rucker.

[@samilee8121]

Grew up to this song means everything to me 😍

[@wickedgenx1972]

Ohhh, the ultimate hair metal ballad! We all loved this song!

[@TopGun_-]

A really deep Poison track that you need to check out... Something to Believe In Please check this one out!

[@quadfather_]

More hair bands please! There is some great guitar solos from that era of music. Happy new year fellas #Louisiana

[@keithryer6757]

As far as black country singers go Charley Pride was the man. On top of that he was a professional baseball player. Check him out if you haven't.

[@4everjovigirl]

Just saw Poison July 22 at The Stadium Tour in Philly w Motley Crue, Def Leppard and Joan Jett…..still amazing after all these years! I’m an 80s fan…..as you can tell by my user name….I love your videos and I’m 57 years old! Keep ‘em coming!

[@christopherbarnett6098]

All those years when you thought Rock music was just a lot of screaming. That's one of the things I love about getting older. I'm 60. I have music going back to the 40's. Woody Guthries 'Dust bowl ballards.' The ballard of pretty boy floyd is a story in a song. Billie Holiday. Loved Ice-t since 1987. When he released "power" with Evil E, spinning some serious vinyl. That led me to some really serious millitant artists. Original G stuff. By the way. Ice-t has one of the most serious Rock bands in existance. "Bodycount". Incredible band. Ernie-c on,guitar, that will stun you. The point I'm trying to make. Very badly It seems. Is that you don't have to stop being into one genre of music, to get into another. Everyone can enjoy as much or as little as they like. Peace out.

[@dianesaienni5466]

Yea everybody can relate to that song. I love that last part. Well I hear you found somebody new and that I never meant that much to you...

[@DeusSalis]

This song is the meaning of life

[@michaelboley4428]

They were the first concert I went to back in the 80s it was the Ratt Poison tour it was awesome. Brings back memories. But hey y’all how about Beastie Boys 3MCs and 1DJ Or Hey Ladies Shake Your Rump Sure Shot Sabotage All good Solomon.

[@tammyjo2570]

One of my favorites

[@Etcarver7282]

This song was one of my faves! You guys should listen to Unskinny Bop and Nothin but a good time. Love those songs!

[@StephanieMckim77]

OMG 😭😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️ I love you guys but you make me feel old 🤣🤣😭😭 This was my jam when I was in Jr high ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Great ballad from them, I probably would have stated with one of their up beat songs....Talk Dirty To Me OR Look What the Car Dragged In OR Love on the Rocks OR You're Mamma Don't Dance......

[@RappinAcoustic]

" "I hear you found somebody new and that I never meant that much to you" whoever can't relate to those lyrics has some more living to do.

[@sumonjamal1653]

Bret Michaels (vocals) is the lead singer of Poison... a while ago, he had a reality TV show called 'Rock of love'... and Eminem emulated him from that show in his music video for his track "We made you" 😁

[@SKEC212]

In the movie Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure they used the lyrics for this song when they went to Heaven. You gotta watch that movie.

[@daltongorham6768]

Yes more oldie rock songs.

[@jessemontgomery6470]

Aaron Neville- Kiss an Angel Good Mornin He's old school black country artist. Tells you in just a few words how you need to treat your woman!

[@newchapterart8929]

Check out their song "Something to believe in"

[@stevec2665]

Aaron Neville- "The Grand Tour" and Kane Brown- "Cool Again" are a couple songs you might like. Oh and Jimmie Allen's "Best Shot" is a real good song.

[@BandofBrothersTours]

Video for this song was shot in Green Bay and Madison,Wi. It was my first ever concert (15 years old) and one of the greatest nights of my life. I remember waiting for months to finally see the video on MTV. I was so excited. I remember at the end of the encore CC DEVILLE would not leave the stage and just kept playing his guitar. The big security guy had to come out and carry him off stage…while he still played. I now know it was part of the act but when your 15, it was magical. So much fun.

[@tinacannon1075]

Watch the video…. It helps tell the story better. Took my then 13 yr old daughter to see Mr. Brett Michaels and she sang every song along with me! It was a fantastic night! They had a lot of fun dance songs. Maybe check out Nothing But A Good Time. It’s a great song as well

[@donnaewe3692]

Darius Rucker, Charlie Pride, and BLANCO BROWN ('The Git Up', 'Nobody's More Country', 'CountryTime' are prob my favs-Serious Fire!!!) 😉❤️‍🔥
