    I have loved Poison from the first time I ever saw 'I Want Action" on MTV . Being a country boy, moved to the city, I had never seen MTV. With that, Native Tongue is my favorite album. I feel that it brought out the best in Bret and all that he can do as a vocalist. Rikki and Bobby really brought that tight blues rhythm. Regardless of what Ritchie did, that dude is phenomenal.

    Going through the tuffest recovery was just total hell,I seen the flames,the hands reaching for me as rocks and roses hit me non stop,flames all around me.I needed something To Believe In.Needed something so,so bad.Lucky for me I found this wonderful song,like a few others it helped me to go on with my life,even after going to hell and back.Thank you Poison for giving me the something To Believe In,thank you so much.

      Well hate to break it to you but the vast majority of fans weren't buying Poison because they were technical guitar players, that's what Yngwie, Mcalpine and Satriani were for. The "limited musical capacity" CC brought helped them blow UP. Maybe Richie should have focused more on writing hit songs instead of banging Rikkis finance. This was 93 when there was still amimosity between Bret and CC so his comments don't surprise me but in 99 after time apart to heal Bret said "I remember looking over at our guitar player and thinking, man I wish CC was there ". 🤷‍♂️

    In 1993 it was scary to be in a hair band. With the worlds attention on grunge music, the hair and makeup just became old and kinda gay, lol. Almost overnight!
    Bret was obviously trying to steer the band away from the popcorn style tunes they were writing. I dig Ritchies style and he is very talented. Maybe too talented for Poison. But CC has that over the top style. If Poison sticks to their roots in pop metal, CC is the best fit for the band

      I for one, didnt get a purchase choice. there was no new hairmetal music being released so its a moot point about who killed it.
      Music is a for profit industry, you have to market for the buyers and pop music was big and R&B came from nowhere to erode the market share.
      even the joke (one hit) songs had more market share than hairmetal combined. 3 Little Pigs by Green Jelly. mmm mmm mmm. when I was a sperm. detachable penis.

    una vez expulsado kotzen d poison,inmediatamente llaman a blues,y esta vez saraceno acepto ser el guitarrista d poison ,y con el comenzaron el tour sudamericano en chile,argentina,venezuela y mexico,para volver a sudamerica en 1994 para tocar en sao paulo y rio de janeiro.

    All these comments bagging on Richie make me laugh. He was the best thing to ever happen to Poison, and had more talent than the lot of them combined. And as for his affair with Rikki's wife, it's not like they were just in it to fool around. They fell in love, got married, and had a daughter. You can't plan something like that happening, it just happens. Plus, Poison haven't put out anything worth listening to since Native Tongue. Richie has gone on to make great album after great album with multiple bands.
