Poison - Every Rose Has It's Thorn | Singer Reacts |

[@ChristysChannelYall]

I’m 51, so I’m an 80’s girl. I love Poison! Seen them in 1991 and then again in 2022. This is one of my favorite songs ❤

[@nathanfisher1826]

80s😊 was great time, for life and Music, wish we could go back 😢

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

Me too. Isn't it ironic the best times were back there. We knew it hence why we lived what we did but we also knew it wasn't going to last. Celebrate you did, I did, all Gen x did. Rock on!

To see such positive responses to these songs from the 80's by 20 year olds only validates just how good our music was in our teens. Alway enjoy seeing these reactions.

miley cyrus does a great version of this song!!

[@normankennith7919]

[@HellPatrol818]

The last verse is incredibly painful and relatable. Just pure emotion and the pain of love failure. One of the greatest songs ever written and musically composed too. Everyone thinks of Scorpions when it comes to break up ballads, but this is right up there. Also, CC making his guitar sing. It’s like a second voice.

[@bpalmer3421]

Reading the back story on this song. It's personal to Brett. He was on tour and found out his woman was cheating with someone from another band. Was told writing a ballad at that time would fail. But the emotional breakup song was made and became the iconic hit. Timeless song.

[@WheresWaldo05]

What songs aren't personal? (Shaking my dang head)

[@justchillin4065]

​@@WheresWaldo05I can name hundreds. SMDH

[@donbergeson6771]

Who would have lied to him that a ballad would fail? By the time this came out it was already a hard and fast rule from the record companies that the 1st single off an album was a rock song and the 2nd single was a ballad.

[@allenwhitmer8192]

​​@@donbergeson6771 Nevertheless, he is right. Upper management didn't like the song and didn't see it as a hit. Brett and his band mate's liked it and wanted it on the record. They won out, and the rest is history

80's rock!!! There was none better!

[@cap873]

CC DeVille.......criminally underrated as a guitar god!

[@AnitaCavalieri-u7x]

Ditto (see comment)

[@Canadianfreedomfighter]

I saw Poison and Warrant in concert back in 1991, best concert ever!

[@treebeardstudios]

I feel like you need to follow this up with Don't Know What You Got (Til It's Gone) by Cinderella. Another powerful 80's power ballad/love song. A lot of these hair metal bands don't get the credit they deserve. It's not all cheese ball 😛

[@daviddewing9383]

I grew up listening to this and still love it.

[@tonycampbell4982]

CC Devilles guitar playing is posion

An Iconic Song from another era, from other past times...And better

[@theboxingboy7422]

Everytime my dad came back from a night out drunk he would blast this song. RIP dad miss you

[@jamesnorthup7717]

Something to believe in is still my favorite song of theirs

[@robn6930]

80's and 90's music was incredible!!! None better!!!

[@robertburns4429]

The plaintive cry of CC's guitar combined with Brett's vocals. THis is a song where the fact that the singer does not have the best voice in the world works out for the song. Its a voice that feels more relatable as do the lyrics.

[@DeansMayhem]

"There are no mistakes, only lessons". You are wise beyond your years.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Man I miss the 80s! Seeing this young generation listening to them, makes it even sadder! Sometimes we take great music for granted! Poison had some of the best power ballads. And this one is no exception!👉❤️‍🔥🎸🤟🤘great reaction young lady!🙏

[@michaelbuttner4262]

I got this Album at home , it is normal Hard Rock from the 80 , but i listen 2024 as a 56 years old Metalhead all kind if Rock / Metal = Heavy Metal is the Best Music on this Planet ! My start as a Metalhead was 1980 with 13 years

[@chaospoet]

The chorus is a cheat code to get into Heaven when St. Peter asks you what's the meaning of life? If you got that, you're my people.

[@Wrangler-fp4ei]

Poison always had good Ballard style songs.

[@juancarlosmartinez1410]

I recommend you I remember you- from skid row . Is a power full ballad. 👋

[@javiergomezcastaneda3617]

CC making the guitar cry, iconic.

[@AnitaCavalieri-u7x]

Insight on the era, loved Poison...then Guns n Roses were winning over popularity of the big hair bands (as they were also called)..then Pearl Jam and bands like Stone Temple Pilots killed glam rock overnight. Poison reformed in the 2000's ,.. singer Bret Michaels had a successful reality show based on looking for a wife, in a mansion with 10 or twenties girls looking for that ring. Saw them them in Indianapolis and my friend knew the drummer so we talked to him alone in the band room before the concert. Well rounded super nice guy. After the show word of mouth in the parking lot we heard guitarist C.C. DeVille has his own band, playing a small town nearby at a pizza bar on a small main street Indiana. We found the town luckily (before gps ) ,CC played a free show and after asked everyone to sit down and he spoke of his recovery and heartfelt asked ppl to avoid hard drugs and how he is so happy to be alive....then he took pics with everyone and shook hands with everybody. Was truly a triple decker night of music with inspiration tossed in by Mr DeVille 😁

[@Neonbob]

Every Gen X'Er has this on their playlist.🍻🤘

[@choward874]

I love her face when cc's solos come on!❤

[@sumonjamal1653]

Poison got a lot of crap for being as successful as they were in the 80's and early 90's... but they were a fun, energetic rock band that did not deserve that contempt... Some of Poison's other hits - 'Unskinny bop' ... 'Something to believe in' ... 'Ride the wind' ... "I won't forget you"... 🤘🤘🔥 'Every rose has its thorn' was written by Bret Michaels (lead vocals) after a relationship went kaput when he discovered that she was allegedly seeing someone else. Bands from the 80's like Warrant... L.A. Guns ... Kix ... Tesla ... Dokken... like Poison, offered some great music and entertaining live shows.

[@victorramsey5575]

Poison had some awesome hits! People rag on them but they made their mark in music. Guitarist CC Deville (hugest blond hair) has a degree in music from some Ivy League school. One of his professors told him he was wasting his talents playing rock music. Teachers aren't always right. Also check out the official video for Nothin' But A Good Time, another absolute fire breather from Poison. In that one CC is playing many guitars, but the neon pink, Japanese built, Jackson Soloist is a f**king holy grail guitar in guitar circles. Very very cool!!!

[@brianmcguire7800]

Poison is called a hard rock band! Just like motley cruel and Def Leopard. You are hearing the heart of Brett in these songs.

[@TwinkieGurlMeowMeow]

We all can relate to this song. 80s metal ballads ❤!! I recommend “Steelheart - I’ll Never Let You Go (Angel Eyes)” .

[@MarioCrosby]

Absolutely. Great suggestion for Steelheart, probably the best metal ballad around.

[@JosephCowen-fz8vj]

CC your a legend up there with Slash !

[@randykelley6826]

I saw them live at Madison Square Garden when Brett Michaels collapsed on stage. Immediately the drug addict stories started. Not long after the world found out he is an insulin dependent Diabetic. The day he collapsed he had been sick and did not eat or drink much causing his blood sugar to drop dangerously low. Today he is a huge spokesperson for the American Diabetes Association.

[@RockyRajkumar-yg1ee]

This is a Poison's anthem ❤❤❤

[@michaelpoore21]

C.C. making that guitar sing.

[@ecoffey71]

This was my first concert and my gate way band to metal

[@Podolsky596]

The best era 80,90s when it comes to music very good classics excellent reaction I would like you to react to Guns n Roses thank you Good vibes 💚💛❤️

[@Falconer1128]

I'd really enjoy watching you react to "I Saw Red" by Warant. Similar to this, story wise. It's an amazing tune.

[@wellstrung2]

I was never a huge poison fan, but this song is great

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

Loved this song since my youth when it came out because of my older sister

[@jjgam]

also could be taken as.....(coming from a road dog that toured with a bunch of these guys) Not only about the relationship that was left behind...but the toll it took on them, their bodies, their souls.....just in this video ...yeah great time! they were on tour (the rose) but you see at one point , all of them being picked up and carried off stage (the thorn) so it has two meanings in all leaving the one you love , for a life on the road.....and the total exhaustion of being on said road. And Brett is still going strong to this day has seen him at his best, and worst, but always comes back for more!

[@baronlster5674]

The rose having thorns phrase existed long before this group existed. One of those “old school” phrases. The meaning even way back then was exactly as Poison used it and you thought it to mean.

[@ESUSAMEX]

Brett was on tour when he called home to his girlfriend. She answered the phone he heard another man in the background. Brett hung up heartbroken and never spoke to the girl again. And wrote this song.

[@ericdodge2933]

Listen to something to believe in

[@andresmurillo7552]

you said "love hurts"... you HAVE TO listen to Nazareth's version of that song. Beautiful from start to finish

[@JosephCowen-fz8vj]

I believe after researching, the live bits are 1988 on tour with Vixen at Daytona beach FL.

[@Lolita6672]

I used to live dj on my Internet radio station and at a few clubs in second life online community and made a playlist of rock ballads.

[@1988diesel]

This particular song went to #1 on December 26th 1988, which is the day I was born.

[@DamnedEyez]

If I recall, "standard practice" at the time was the third single was the ballad. So, even if it's a band's first album (this was from their second), they'd be touring a lot at the time. Adding the conert and backstage footage seemed sensible and common enough.

[@blackcountryme]

Every rose has it's thorn, even something beautiful can still hurt you

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

Beautiful people all carry " thorns."

[@victorjmartinez3030]

You actually have a good point on that because when you really care for somebody you really show your emotion to that I think Brett Michaels because I know that's his name that's the lead singer to poison he was writing a song I think mostly about what Love can represent like a rose as well as to people in life so I think when he made this video in the 80s when he was younger he was trying to put a reference that when you really love somebody sometimes love to be so hard to understand when you are really in love with someone and you show your emotions to that person even when you're making love to somebody because that's how life is I understand a lot of this because I've lived that life so the thing is love is just like a rose that means so much in life so I'm not trying to make it into a personal thing I'm just trying to use there's a lot to learn in life about love when you really how does strong bond but that person so I think that's why Bret Michaels was trying to put in this music video also

[@sebastienlavoie9334]

Love can hurt so much sometimes, it leaves a scar for life. Maybe you did some other songs by Poison but here's a little list of songs you could react to. Love songs like Life Goes On, Until You Suffer Some, Theatre Of My Soul, I Won't Forget You and the beautiful Something To Believe in wich is not really a love song but it's a ballad, some more rocking songs like Talk Dirty To Me, Nothing But A Good Time, Fallin' Angel, Ride The Wind, Look What The Cat Dragged In, So Tell Me Why, Stand, I Want Action.

[@dipsydoodle7988]

One of my all day time favorite ballads from a band not enough folks take seriously. Hey, could you react to some Cheap Trick? Maybe The Flame if you want another classic ballad, or anything from their live at Budokan show. California Man or Downed, Ain't That a Shame, etc.

[@pabsn9069]

Purely FYI: The famous proverb “Every rose has its thorn” originated as a French or Italian saying (Pas de rose sans epine; Non i.e rosa senza spine).

[@privateconfidential4775]

love your purple hair and funky glasses

[@purgedome2386]

Still love this song.. this does bring back tough memories for me personally and believe its based on his own(Brett) relationships. One of my fav song by them is 'Something To Believe In'.. which i believed you already reacted to and probably I am watching right now.. Hehe..

[@willfromyadkinville]

fantastic! i had the album! yes i am that guy!

[@johnnyfallen87]

Nice choice.... This is a iconic... Next Bon jovi Always or This ain't love song( live Wembley stadium 95) highly requested from ur fans Mizoram_NE India

Yeah and Bill and Ted gave it as a quote in their movies😊

[@rockerforlife194]

Hey Rayactions. Check out the Poison concert live in St. Louis, Missouri. It is fire!. Great reaction. Love your channel!

[@seybass27]

CC was one of the best guitar players ever!!!!

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

When he says, " yeah it does," it just past his video and whoever misses that soul message, never ever heard him sing this song. Funny it came from a band named, " poison."

[@royrepie61]

Wow you are so beautiful Ray ^^.... another great reaction too xixi.

[@mikewatson7218]

I wish I could go back to the 80s

[@victorjmartinez3030]

Once again that's another good question because sometimes when you love somebody can you play with somebody for so long and then you really didn't know that person really well about him or her and sometimes when you're in a relationship you just don't know how to hurt your relationship back in place when you think that you know the person really well and then they always have a dark secret to hide from her or him relationships are so confusing sometimes because it confuses you so badly in life but if you really love somebody really really much then that Bond glasses with you forever it's hard to know love really works you and your partner believe me I know😊

[@jimmyraidjames]

When this song came on the radio...i flipped the channel🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣

[@strawberryshortcake6839]

I'm not sure how one does NOT react to that beatiful man standing up from that bed. I'm confused and concerned lol.

[@DavidG-zz7ux]

I saw some of your videos with slipknot but fun fact before cory taylor did slipknot he was in another band called stone sour and the one I recommend is Gone sovereign/absolute zero

[@terryarkwright5296]

1993 me and brothers were at a party where everyone there crashed and me and girlfriend slept on pull out bed and I had long hair "80s" style and my girl had hair like chick with Bret and out of blue a dude walked through living room and said wtf is this a looks like poison video miss those days and being 16 years old

[@WineSippingCowboy]

Written by Poison. More of a tear 😢 jersey is the next video 📹 Poison performs Something to Believe In.

[@06PYTHON]

They have another one I like very much. It's called Give me something to believe in. I'm not sure if you've covered that yet if you have not, I'm sure you will like it.

[@bidwell13]

3:42 it’s an old French and Italian phrase. Basically their thought was he who wants a rose, must respect the thorn.

[@tvbenglishsongtranslations]

All good old song about Brett losing out on Baywatch’s Pamela Anderson to Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee.

[@teamhonzilla]

Every rose has it’s thorn meaning the rose is a woman and when a woman break your heart it’s like a thorn hurting you

[@andersonrichie]

[@johnnyphoenix1223]

The time when hair metal artists wrote a love song a few bands followed suit

[@scottlambert2949]

Another suggestion for you by the band poison is called "something to believe in" and it's a sad song but also true fact Bret Michaels is diabetic

[@jessierodriguez7168]

He wrote that song in Dallas Texas at a laundromat after he called his girlfriend and heard another guy's voice in the background is the story that I understand about it

[@brianbaird3]

Yep heard that on Hair Nation on SXM

[@foley15136]

Now that I’m an old guy, I’ll confess to being a goof when I was very young. I had a band and we did do some (pretty lousy) original material that I wrote. We had some girls that hung around us and would come to the places we’d play. There was one girl whose attention I was trying to get and I lied and said that I wrote this song. She was more into pop music and didn’t listen to rock stations on the radio. I felt kinda dumb afterward because she’d find out that I didn’t, some months later. Well, she knew a little sooner than that, but didn’t say anything and she didn’t hate me for it. She liked that I was trying to impress her. But I’ll say that she’s a liar, too. She said that she liked my original songs😂 Just a funny little story about a goofy kid that grew up in the 80’s.

[@robbiebonham]

If you want a little more of an aggressive breakup song there is always Everything Ends by Slipknot.

According to a story that I heard from Bret Michaels himself it's to do with a girlfriend he was living with at the time who is cheating on him all the time when he was on the road and one night when he called home apparently the dude that his girlfriend was cheating with answered the phone

[@brianbaird3]

It's a break up song. I listen to hair nation on SXM. The band just finished a show they were at a laundromat and the lead singer Bret called his girlfriend and heard another man's voice in the background. He wrote the song while doing laundry
