Poison - "Stand" on Arsenio Hall, 3/26/93 (HD 1080p)

[@davidpazosb]

Man that is one of the best live performances of a glam rock band EVER. What a song, and what an awesome guitarist Richie Kotzen is. Severely unsung, should be a household name. Poison rocks.

[@lisellesloan3191]

Written by Kotzen, as well as other good songs on the album.

[@sweetsally1313]

@@lisellesloan3191 Just heard that in an interview. Richie said he wrote 7 of the songs on that album. It's incredible how much we learn years later.

[@DirtyMikeTM]

@@sweetsally1313 Then he gets caught f'n around with the drummer's wife, which got him kicked out of the band.

[@Jayhawk9]

Native Tongue is a kick ass album. I’ve never understood how people can’t just recognize great music. I’ll always love this album

[@smulismuli7976]

That album is all Kotzen

From the album 'Native Tongue' 👅 😛

Holy crap! Is that a young Richie Kotzen on the mandolin?

[@jamiedoughty6703]

Yes, Sir

Poison performing "Stand" on Arsenio Hall on March 26, 1993. Exactly today, it's been 30 years since this show was shown and here I am enjoying this spectacular sound (March 26, 2023)

[@pasyensyatv9092]

Richie throwing back that mandolin was the best part

[@Shell-u4s]

Richie Sambora ?

[@IndigoZ0]

that gospel chorus take the performance to another level

[@trulyloved5012]

I know there was a reason why I like Poison. Still listening in 2023. Love ya Brett Love and Light🙏❤️

[@Badmotorfinger16]

I really love this song. Poison is one of the greatest rock bands from 80's. This live performance gives me chills!! Thanks for uploading! ✌️

[@danipaolodullano692]

Richie was 23-24 years old in this footage.

[@pacochuquiure5459]

Man, this performance is beyond amazing. A beautiful yet powerful song.

[@Easystreet208]

Very Fitting song for what is going on in the great country of the USA!

[@patrickreeves4650]

love native tongue, and everything about it. i think a large section of poison's fan base was now going to college, and being exposed to a whole lot of music that was different. most people, when they get to be 18 and older, start to refine what they like, and rarely does the music of their childhood go with them. i think this was a big reason for the era coming to an end, that doesn't get talked about.

[@theghostofpennsylvania_11]

I grew up listening to Poison. My favorite song of theirs is Talk Dirty To me from their album Lokk what the cat dragge in. I played that song to death back in the 80's and 90's and still do today.✌️🤘🎸🥁🎤

[@SteveHill0528]

Not from Flesh and Blood. It’s from Native Tongue

[@williamdavidfrancavilla7388]

so glad I'm not the only one who noticed

[@timgreen7424]

You caught that too? He was holding Native Tongue not Flesh and Bllod. 😅😅😅

[@Marvidsen1973]

Awesome version 🙌🏻❤️🎸

[@distorcio]

Excelente, saludos desde puerto montt chile,larga vida a poison!!

[@laurencebray3311]

That new CD was called “Native Tongue” and not “Flesh & Blood” btw.

[@shelleytariang8207]

Love you Bret best vocalist of all the times

Me too❤

[@RokDAWG1]

Damn this is so good!

[@bolivarlucho]

Chévere esa canción, me gusta.

[@gregfrable2626]

Poison gets lumped in as Glam but they were just simply a great Rock N Roll band!! Awesome performance with a southern Baptist choir

[@defpaul02]

Richie kotzen the best!!!

[@Marvidsen1973]

IS!!

[@fullalbums1133]

Damn this is killer

[@guillemora1626]

Que buena banda poison cuando el rock and roll era rock and roll

[@jorgesantos8509]

Ritchie was the best thing that happened to Poison. Native Tongue is the album that stands up.

[@davidstewart4310]

The most boring album they ever done! Nothing can touch Flesh and Blood!

[@gfgranja]

@@davidstewart4310F & B is their best, but Native is great too

[@jorgesantos8509]

@@TheLionTheLambRom1221 It´s an album for people with more matured musical taste.

[@derekgriffith4324]

I love both albums. Both great but flesh and blood was and still is one of those "soundtrack of my life" albums. Native tongue a completely different thing than flesh and blood for the most part. Richie kotzen with poison definitely brought more out of the rest of them. Poison was a great band that always put on a great show. Saw em a bunch of times as the opening act for many highly rated bands and every time they were better than the headliner.

[@fredyrocazaurus8420]

Greatest band of all time ❤

[@gonzalosotomunoz8951]

Cuando POISON grabo el disco native tongue, el productor Ritchie zito, sugirió incluir al coro de gospel de la iglesia AIAM de la ciudad los angeles,ya q originalmente stand solo seria cantada x bret y kotzen... claramente este single fue un exito d ventas,logrando en abril de 1993(dos meses después de lanzo el disco) fue certificado diaco de oro(500.000 copias vendidas)todo un logro,debido a que la industria musical se habia volcádo al grunge.

[@ageofcaravel]

Como pode na mesma proporção que o Richie é foda como guitarrista, é lindo!!! ❤ 5:45

I love that album Flesh & Blood! lol

[@jamesmoore4320]

does anyone know if there was any more of the interview at the end???

[@CasaMcCleese]

This is NOT Poison. It’s poison-esk. But CC is part of the equation that makes real poison. It’s the magic of those four guys… Bret, CC, Bobby, Ricky… that’s Poison.

[@joeurbauer104]

I wish they would have corrected AH and told him the album was called NATIVE TONGUE and NOT Flesh & Blood

[@dalgor73]

When Richie shows up to audition, just send the others back home and consider yourself lucky to have him

[@O_homem_que_ri]

Just don't let him get to meet your girlfriend or wife.

[@tracychambliss481]

Very underrated album came out at the wrong time, wasn’t this the grunge era

[@shivsays24]

Brett Michaels is such an underrated singer .....

[@pablocaira8240]

Mega Frontman!!! 👌💥🎸🎤🤘

[@handsomerube]

It helps when you’re singing a song written by an amazing singer.

[@marcelarojaszeballos7403]

Absolutely.

[@ClaudioFerreira-hu2ln]

Richie Kotzen es buen guitarrista,pero el sonido como la guitarra de C.C de Vill no hay otra para POISON es la llave original del grupo junto con Bret.🎸🎸🎸

[@greggoodwin2031]

Lies and money aren't just "white men's god". There are all kinds of idolators out there from every race, color, creed, tribe and nation.

[@GamezOfWar]

Ritchie was the best thing that ever happened to poison

[@joeurbauer104]

Why didn't anyone correct him the album is Native Tongue?

[@scirasco1]

Michaels voice suites the song better then richies and im a huge fan of richie but brett got that southern thing on it ,richie wrote it though:)

[@lucassimpson3961]

I like Richie's voice better, just an opinion. But Richie is twice the singer Bret could ever dream to be.

[@IndigoZ0]

Michel in this moment was more experienced and mature He knew how to take the stage

[@davidstewart4310]

​@@lucassimpson3961Shame Bret has more charisma.

[@skipthebase]

Arsenio botches intro. Album is Native Tongue dude, not Flesh & Blood.You’re holding it in your hand!

[@MrSavage87]

Richie was the real star. Sang played and looked better than Brett. lol

[@dimebagsixx]

Hmmm not really - if you look at their careers side by side

[@MrSavage87]

​@@dimebagsixx Sure, Michaels had the more commercial success back then and still probably the better marketeer. Richie's songwriting, singing and playing if you listen to his solo records, are on another level. Plus Kotzen still in the game today doing great stuff with Adrian Smith and the winery dogs. What has Brett been doing today? I heard he aged like milk.

[@Wesley8Bit]

@@MrSavage87ohh, I don’t know, Poison did go on the highly successful Stadium tour alongside Joan Jett, Motley Crue and Def Leppard. And a vast majority of people who attended claimed that Poison stole the show every night. Also ticket sales were around $173 million. So yeah, sounds like Bret’s still in the game too.

[@JohnWahlers]

Please, commercial success doesn't make a great musician. Kotzen is a world class monster guitarist who happens to have a fantastic voice and songwriting skills. He als.plays the drums piano and bass guitar at a very high level. Brett while being a good guy is a mediocre singer who got lucky enough to be in a highly successful hair band when that style of music was very popular.

[@draynah14]

You think Kotzen looked better than Bret? LOL. Well sorry, I'm a woman and I definitely disagree with you. Back in the day, Bret had one of the most beautiful and symmetrical faces I've seen in a man. And even today, he looks good for his age, minus his current style which he should eventually change. Kotzen has always looked like a dork by comparison and that nose of his is....well.... I'll bet ya 10 bucks you're just another one of his jealous male haters. In fact, a guy who used to write similar comments to yours a few years ago recently admitted they only did so out of jealousy. How pathetic, maybe it's time to grow up...or just admit you're gay for Kotzen xD

[@billfinley9513]

Not a fan of Poison. Big fan Of Richie. Look at where Richie is today and where Poison is .......

[@O_homem_que_ri]

You are in a multimillionaire band, recorded a great album that did quite well in spite of the circumstances and can get almost any piece of ass you want. But you don't want any piece of ass, you want your drummer's 😂😂😂😂
