The Profile

American glam metal band formed in 1983 in Pennsylvania. Rose to multi-platinum fame in the late ’80s with Bret Michaels, C.C. DeVille, Bobby Dall and Rikki Rockett, landing hits like Every Rose Has Its Thorn and Nothin’ but a Good Time.

Achieved major U.S. chart success in the late 1980s, including the No. 1 single “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” and multiple multi-platinum albums.

DeBaser’s reviewers celebrate Poison’s party-starting glam metal, sharp hooks and chart-tailored ballads. Key albums like Look What the Cat Dragged In, Open Up and Say... Ahh! and Flesh & Blood get the spotlight. Native Tongue’s bluesy turn and Hollyweird’s throwback grit round out the ride. Overall tone: fond, cheeky, and rocking.

Notable Quotes

❝ At that time... Poison can undoubtedly be considered the most popular representatives of Glam from those years.
❝ This album leaves nothing to be desired, managing to sublimate all the trends that marked an era, that era, and to deliver to the public, perfectly packaged, a true fashion.
❝ The band sheds its sequins and fluorescences, leaving room for the color of the earth.
❝ I find this type of music very pleasant, fun, and easy to listen to.
