-----
In late 1982, an ad in the local newspaper
prompted guitarist Matt Smith to join singer
Bret Michaels, drummer Rikki Rockett (the two
met one day when Rikki, a hairdresser, came
to Bret's house to cut his sister's hair) and
bassist Bobby Dall. After writing several
songs and playing local shows, they changed
their name from Paris to Poison.
In March of 1984, the unsigned band moved
from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to Los Angeles,
California in hopes of making it big.
Guitarist Matt Smith decided to leave the
band, but he agreed to help find a new
guitarist. After over a hundred applicants,
the band chose C.C. DeVille (over Slash, of
Guns N Roses fame, interestingly enough), and
the current lineup was born.
Interestingly, their real names are: Bret
Michael Sychak (Bret Michaels), Alan Ream
(Rikki Rockett), Bruce Anthony Johannesson
(C.C. DeVille), and Harry Kuykendall (Bobby
Dall).
After playing LA clubs for a few years, the
band was finally signed by Enigma Records,
where they recorded their debut album, Look
What the Cat Dragged In, in only 12 days for
only $23,000. To almost everyone's surprise,
the record spawned 3 top 10 hits; I Want
Action, Talk Dirty to Me, and I Won't Forget
You.
After touring with bands like Cinderella and
Ratt and selling over 2 million copies of
their album, the band went back to LA to
record their follow-up smash hit, Open Up and
Say... Ahh! This album outsold the first by
millions, selling 5 million in the US alone.
Hits off this album included Every Rose Has
Its Thorn, Fallen Angel, Nothing But a Good
Time, and the cover tune, Your Mama Don't
Dance. After a tour which included former Van
Halen lead singer David Lee Roth, the band
went back to record their third album.
In July of 1990, Poison released Flesh &
Blood. Hits included the energetic Unskinny
Bop, the sentimental Something To Believe In,
the rockin' Ride the Wind, and the slow tune
Life Goes On. After a worldwide tour which
was recorded, the band released their fourth
album, Swallow This Live. This two CD set
included all their major hits live plus 4 new
studio tracks.
Unfortunately, after the release of Swallow
This Live, guitarist C.C. DeVille was fired
from the band. He has since revealed that the
reason for his departure was a drug and
alcohol problem which he has since overcome.
To replace C.C. at guitar, however, the band
hired guitar whiz Richie Kotzen. The result
was an excellent bluesy album called Native
Tongue. Despite the amazing music on this
disc, it didn't do well commercially because
of the drastic change in image and sound.
Soon after the tour to support Native Tongue,
Richie Kotzen was fired from the band due to
personal conflicts.
The next guitarist to fill C.C.'s shoes was
another guitar whiz, Blues Saracino. With
Blues, Poison recorded another excellent
disc, Crack a Smile. However, due to problems
with the record company, this album was
shelved until its 2000 release as Crack a
Smile and More!.
Instead of releasing Crack a Smile, Capitol
Records decided to release a Greatest Hits
disc to commemorate the band's 10 years of
success. The result was Poison's Greatest
Hits 1986-1996. In addition to all their
greatest hits, this album also included two
new songs which were originally meant for
Crack a Smile: Sexual Thing and Lay Your Body
Down. Unfortunately, this album didn't get
enough of a budget for the band to release
any new singles or videos. But it did go
platinum.
C.C. DeVille rejoined Poison right before the
release of the greatest hits collection. The
band hit the road for a summer '99 tour,
recorded the tour, and released a live album
with five new studio tracks in June of 2000
called Power to the People. Soon after, a
Greatest Hits DVD was released.
