History
Poison formed in 1983 in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, when a bar-band called Paris — singer Bret Michaels, bassist Bobby Dall, drummer Rikki Rockett, and guitarist Matt Smith — changed its name and relocated to Los Angeles to chase the glam metal scene taking over the Sunset Strip. Guitarist C.C. DeVille joined in 1985, locking in the classic lineup and the band's brash, hook-driven hair metal sound built on big choruses, party anthems, and an even bigger visual image of teased hair and spandex. Their 1986 debut, "Look What the Cat Dragged In," broke through on MTV with "Talk Dirty to Me," and 1988's "Open Up and Say... Ahh!" gave them their biggest hit, the power ballad "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," which topped the Billboard Hot 100. Other charting singles included "Nothin' But a Good Time," "Fallen Angel," and "Unskinny Bop." Despite being dismissed by critics as glam-metal excess, the band became one of the era's top-selling acts and remains a touring fixture, with Michaels, Rockett, and Dall still performing together decades later.
