You should see the usa now. Talk bout lies, money n white men. I'm leaving 4 sure. Bc I've been standing up to them my whole life and it gets only worse.
Native Tongue is an amazing album IMHO. Production, arrangements, song writing, instruments. It has Kotzen signature all over the place. Still a great joy to listen to.
"Native Tounge" was released during the Seattle "Grunge" explosion...So the album didn't get as much credit as it deserved because there was a new Sheriff in town (Kurt Cobain)...Had it been released 2 years earlier things might have been different...But it's a great treasure to listen to, and appreciate it more now.
Its a Beautiful Gospel song .. GOD IS GOOD .. I LOVE YOU LORD.. And Thank you Bret Michaels and crew for .. You are AWESOME... You sing to the HEAVENS.. YOU ROCK
Gospel is historical Baptist music. This is not bc of being too new. It's good old rock n roll my religion. If you count all songs using gospel singers as gospel, then the black crows, rolling stones, Aerosmith, etc are all gospel. Yet they are not. They are rock, using occasional gospel backup vocals. The Gospel spirituals are a unique part of religious history in the usa. And as much as I love rock, do not confuse the 2. Bc pure gospel predated rock n began with southern blues like led belly, into Elvis, etc. Let gospel stand as it always is.
@@JCStorm76 i don't know how people just take it all to the technical side i know ritchie kotzen is incredible not against him he is one of a kind to his side but CC Deville is of a kind and a soul of rock n roll when you hear rock n roll you don't spread the word technique you spread the word fun and reelin and rockin
It's a shame that one of their most powerful, best, great feeling songs happened when mainstream didn't care about Poison anymore. This song is universal lyrically and musically sounds great. It has that slow burn feel at times, but keeps you locked in. So thank you Poison, for such an awesome song.
Bands like Van Halen, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Poison, Guns n Rose's, and Ozzy dominated pretty good in the early 90s. People tend to forget that. For some strange reason todays culture, or you could say the last 10-20 years of the mainstream media have been pretty much trying to throw away all these memories of groups like this and make like grunge groups were the pure soul of this era but I can tell you right now that even in 1994 groups like this were still really big it's just todays culture trys to get us to forget about it and just remember the grunge groups as the dominant force. Anyone that was alive like I was would remember.
@@redhotchilifan98 Have you listened to the whole body of work? In general the music, singers and artists these days are deathly pale in comparison with these guys. At least they have heart and soul mate.
Because they are not so rock n roll, that's why. They're all about looks and a couple of ballads. Look at the rock n roll and wildness of G n R and Motley Crue. I was in my late teens listening to these groups but I was never into Poison. I thought they were so gay.
I believe this song is more powerful today than it was back then. It carries a timeless message. It reaches down inside and unfurls truth... we as a society, as a SPECIES need these words today. "Everybody...come on..." Who would have ever thought back then a hair band and a church choir could have such a strong message?
A swampy blues driven album that ONLY Kotzen could have brought to the table!! the Grunge movement had to happen but man it smothered out a lot of great music at that same period!! Criminally underrated album!!!
I have actually sung this at a church event I was at one time. I LOVE this song! Everyone needs to "Stand for what you believe and Express your-self in the face of change", Always! Words of truth!! LOVE IT!!
Surprised by this really great song by Poison - Great message - not enough people have the integrity or backbone to stand up for what they believe in!!!! Can't stand bootlickers!!!!!!!!!
This song is so uplifting. Listening to this song in 2022. This song has a little bit of Rock, a lot of gosple feeling with the background quire, and a little bit of Country Bluegras with the acoustic guitar and mandalins at the end of the song. Can't say enough about this song.
This song is amazing, the gospel singers take this song to another dimension and it’s meaning probably means more today than it ever did. Stand for what you believe.
I Love This Song and I Love This Group. There Is So Much More To This Band Than Just Surface Looks. They Have A Purpose. Look At the Heart Of This Group. They Rock. 🎸 🎸 And They Are Solid On Who They Are !!! Those Who Point Fingers Don't See It. This Group Has Real Life and Feel The Vibes !!! 🎸 🎸 🎸 😊
I love that little scale he runs to end the solo....it's just so fits without being too flashy..with his chops he could have did a number of crazy runs but he really played it in the pocket ...nice job .
To stand with Faith is more than standing alone. So many things have changed over the years it makes it hard to see true faith or ramblings of people trying to find faith.

A very underrated song. Native Tongue is my favorite Poison album. It just does not get the love it deserves. Richie Kotzen was the right choice of replacement for CC DeVille i wish he stayed in the band a bit longer. I feel he could have made another kickass album with them.
Poison was popular with their country gospel blues hard rock music in the late 1980’s and 1990’s before bands like Creed, Live and Collective Soul and Pearl Jam took over.
ESTA PIEZA ES SUPER EXCELENTE. ME TRAE GRATOS RECUERDOS CUANDO ERA UN CHAMO, AUN SOY JOVEN JEJJEJE. EL ROCK RETOMÓ LOS AÑOS 90S Y SE IMPUSO, ESPEREMOS QUE EN ALGÚN MOMENTO RENAZCA COMO EL FENIX.
Hi again, this song could be a great Gosple song if its ever released on the Gosple charts of radio and records. This song should've been Poisons signature song, and should've made it on all the classic rock stations after 1993, and needs to be played a lot more offen.
I remember vividly seeing this vid on it's MTV premier in Jan or Feb, '93 at the height of shitty grunge. This album didn't sell all that well compared to their three previous ones, but this is one of my all time fave songs by Poison and by ANYONE!! Just a great song w/beautiful lyrics and a great message.
I'm with you. This album was very good but unfortunately came out at the wrong time, Flesh & Blood was undoubtedly their last album to get a lot of mainstream praise only because 1990 was a little over a year before the grunge moment would take a chokehold on the nation. 1993 was too late for Posion.
Rikki Rocket... A very happy 60th Richard Allan Ream August 8, 1961 Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. I hope you stay cancer free. Your fans love you and Poison.. You opened for DLR in Denver. Then played a set at Bangles later that night. Oh, what a night..
cuando poison expulso a cc de ville,en septiembre del 91,la banda comenzó a revisar un monton de revistas y demos,pero solo se fijaron en dos,richie kotzen y blues saraceno,rikky y bobby votaron x blues,pero bret eligió a ritchie.xk según el ,queria un guitarrista con ambición y que disfrutara del negocio de la música. después de ensayar durante dos semanas,poison le dijo a ritchie si quería pertenecer a la banda. ritchie kotzen,le presento a la banda 4 temas q el habia escrito,stand,body talk,until you suffer some y 7 day over you. stand originalmente seria cantada x bret y kotzen,pero el productor de native tongue,ritchie zito,sugirió incluir al coro de aim de los angeles. stand fue el primer single,al q luego le siguio until you suffer some,el q ya no contaría con mtv y todos los canales de tv,ya q todo se había volcado,hacia el grunge y le dieron la espalda a los grupos no grunge,cuando mtv ,le dijo a poison que no hicieran mas videos ya q ellos no los iban a pasar,aun así poison se embarco en una gira x usa y junto a kiss,van halen y aerosmith,fueron los únicos grupos no grunge en hacer shows en norteamerica
excelente información, tristemente la industria y el publico se enfocaron en el deprimente y pobre Grunge, que sepulto a muchas bandas virtuosas de Hard y Hair metal que empezaron en los 90's,
@@papofay es q soy fans de poison desde q tenia 10 años(1990),cuando vi unskinny bop x primera vez en sabado taquilla,fue un amor instantaneo!!. Saludos desde concepcion chile
Com o Kotzen, nesse disco pularam um degrau acima! Boa produção e mixagem! O melhor disco que fizeram, na minha modesta opinião e tecnicamente falando!
this video and song were so good that it actually got decent rotation on mtv at height of grunge in 1993 when they were playing virtually nothing from any 80s bands
Can't go wrong with Samuel Bayer (who directed this video)......................he was best known for Nirvana's Teen Spirit video (a grunge band, no less!).
the fact that in 1993 at height of grunge this video got shown on mtv the album went gold and poison still played arenas and ampitheaters on this tour was a major accomplishment
I was thinking the same thing. Had Native Tongue been released just a year or two earlier I can picture it being up there with Open up and say ... Ahh! and Flesh & Blood. Native Tongue is a fine album that should deserved more praise and recognition than it got at the time.
@@Sparky-ww5re so true i remember writing this comment i thought i wrote it about 6 months to a year ago. it was 2 years ago?????? time is moving too fast 🤣
Im so glad they have been playing together again...Seen them in concert and they rocked just as good today as they did back in the day...IMO....They all are amazing musicians !! LOVE POISON !!! \m/
I heard this ONE time ever on radio, and ran out and bought the CD I was so moved by this song alone..Incredible..I agree it has a wonderful message, beautiful and meaningful lyrics and music, stunning arrangement and showcased a true artistic evolution of what was a party band...mostly due to Richie..to a musically rich ensemble of eloquent substance..made this their best song..and the entire album is outstanding as well. This album should have sold truckloads..
Ritchie Kotzon's Guitar is amazing in this.. I don't like how they pull the fader back on his lead at the last minute of song.. because it really fits with the choir and makes the Song complete
you're totally right...that's the best part of the solo is that little run he does and they pulled the faders back..the whole solo was put in the backseat...it should have been more up front in the mix. ..
This is also one of my all time favorite videos. What a flawlessly directed and shot concept piece of visual art that perfectly speaks the soul of & voices this immense song. Every nuance of this song, and video are sublime, so uplifting..it just soars and raises your soul.
Very underrated band has some really meangingfull songs. Very deep lots of meaning. Thumbs up to poison, and all the bands of the 80s era. Today's music sucks
David Hilsenrath you say improved, I say gimped. just because the music might become more technical or methodical, does not make for it being better. poison had style and a great sound, but that sound seemed almost exclusive to the inclusion of C.C being in the band. It never needed changing and when it did change they became something different to the point of questioning why they didn't have it as a different name.
Agreed corabi crue was fucking great. As much as Vince was good he sucked at the end. Corabi could've made them decent til the end. Hell they might even be still going
Agree completely. Both bands had a shot a transcending "hair metal" and becoming something more timeless. Instead they both pissed that chance away trying to cater to a fan base that was no longer buying albums & going to concerts but was instead buying their first house and having kids.
I'm 56 and this is still my favorite song ever! It means more now than when it was written. Beautiful message in our world today!
You should see the usa now. Talk bout lies, money n white men. I'm leaving 4 sure. Bc I've been standing up to them my whole life and it gets only worse.
Native Tongue is an amazing album IMHO. Production, arrangements, song writing, instruments. It has Kotzen signature all over the place. Still a great joy to listen to.

He had so much influence on it It was basically a solo album and their nest by a mile.

This was a very special moment in time for Poison, Native Tongue is their finest moment.
Stand for what you believe, don't let anyone take that away from you
Love the mandolin in this piece... SUCH a great song that NEVER got it's due
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here
Top 15 on the billboard charts when it launched, and in USA. The platinum label on the album I'd say it got it's due. It's over 30 years old now.
I like this more now than at the time it first came out. Poison were a better band than they were ever given credit for
Only once Richie Kotzen took over on guitar and songwriting. Poison wasn't anything special before that.
Damn right
Don McNevin I don’t agree
@@JCStorm76 i don't know how people just take it all to the technical side
i know ritchie kotzen is incredible not against him he is one of a kind to his side but
CC Deville is of a kind and a soul of rock n roll

you spread the word fun and reelin and rockin

🎉Poison doin alright. Just keep playing their music. They are still selling shows
Man.... Poison have some killer song's. Don't understand the hate people have for them!
its all the left grunge pro abortion people, wanted to do this genre under

we need more music like this. PLEASE!
Gives so much inspiration to many people to stand up for what they believe in ❤️🤘
This was the best album of poison, musically. This song is amazing!
Musically , yes. But the least "fun" of any other Poison album.
It's because of Richie Kotzen that this song is so amazing! Listen to Richie's performance of Stand it's astounding
keaulana1 Nah sorry
Because Richie wrote it!
Best album because Kotzen wrote most of it
A gem of a song. As a band with a cause, playing Nature Warrior Rock, we regularly play this live.
We do love CC, but this is wonderful, too.
I believe this song is more powerful today than it was back then. It carries a timeless message. It reaches down inside and unfurls truth... we as a society, as a SPECIES need these words today.
"Everybody...come on..."
Who would have ever thought back then a hair band and a church choir could have such a strong message?
STAND FOR PEACE STAND FOR JUSTICE STAND FOR FREEDOM STAND FOR EVERYONE ON THIS EARTH GOD BLESS THIS WORLD🙏😔🥲😇🌈
Very inspirational song, needs to be performed in a church once in awhile!!!!
Absolutely!!
When rock and gospel unite as one!!!

Lorraine Ashby a la situación de la situación
this solo and riff is one of the most clean I've ever heard. he's a very good musician..
I've been a Poison fan since I was 15 and now I'm 46 and this is a song that I always listen to on any given afternoon.

This team is really good!!! I'm on my 60's and I'm still enjoying their songs!!!
Is relaxing rock and roll music!!
Amen to that it is one of the most heartfelt and truthful songs ever written
They were a blast in the 80 s child hood memories
What are you talking about >> LONG LIVE,.. COME ON MAN
These lyrics are some of the best, inspiring lyrics. It's an uplifting song and one of my favorite singles from Poison.
I love this song, the lyrics are relatable. I you're still listening to this jam in 2019. Slap that like button!
2021
2021 and 51 yrs old and still love it
2021...57.5 years old...still rocking!
Listen to the words and apply to your everyday life!
I love this song. This band has been my favorite for a long time.
2023 and 45 yo
RK is now one of the guitar gods around and still makes music. His voice is insanely amazing!
He was a guitar god way before Poison bro!
I get the same wonderful feeling every single time I hear Bret sing. He has a wonderful voice, and I love the words to this song.
Amazing music, song beautiful album. The Best of Poison!! Hard rock 🤘✅🎵🎸
I like this because it combines black and white, rock and gospel and says stand for what you believe. It is a visual unification of our nation. Stand.

Agree. But Elvis Presley did those things 70 plus years ago

I was thinking the same thing. Had Native Tongue been released just a year or two earlier I can picture it being up there with Open up and say ... Ahh! and Flesh & Blood. Native Tongue is a fine album that should deserved more praise and recognition than it got at the time.
@@Sparky-ww5re so true i remember writing this comment i thought i wrote it about 6 months to a year ago. it was 2 years ago?????? time is moving too fast 🤣
Im so glad they have been playing together again...Seen them in concert and they rocked just as good today as they did back in the day...IMO....They all are amazing musicians !! LOVE POISON !!! \m/
Most underrated album that they have.
Some fans may disagree but I think this was some of Poison's best
Everyone was very cool here. Brilliantly inspired song.
I heard this ONE time ever on radio, and ran out and bought the CD I was so moved by this song alone..Incredible..I agree it has a wonderful message, beautiful and meaningful lyrics and music, stunning arrangement and showcased a true artistic evolution of what was a party band...mostly due to Richie..to a musically rich ensemble of eloquent substance..made this their best song..and the entire album is outstanding as well. This album should have sold truckloads..
Ritchie Kotzon's Guitar is amazing in this.. I don't like how they pull the fader back on his lead at the last minute of song.. because it really fits with the choir and makes the Song complete
you're totally right...that's the best part of the solo is that little run he does and they pulled the faders back..the whole solo was put in the backseat...it should have been more up front in the mix. ..
You know...You got to STAND...STAND...STAND...for what you BELIEVE !!
Just played this tune going down the road. Kick ass song!
Cant wait to see them again this summer. Probably in the 100's now.
Amazing song, very underrated album.
Ritchie was amazing
This is also one of my all time favorite videos. What a flawlessly directed and shot concept piece of visual art that perfectly speaks the soul of & voices this immense song. Every nuance of this song, and video are sublime, so uplifting..it just soars and raises your soul.
Very underrated band has some really meangingfull songs. Very deep lots of meaning. Thumbs up to poison, and all the bands of the 80s era. Today's music sucks
The public never knows how to receive improved versions of bands. The same thing happened with Motley Crue when Corabi joined them. Kotzen rules!

you say improved, I say gimped.
just because the music might become more technical or methodical, does not make for it being better.
poison had style and a great sound, but that sound seemed almost exclusive to the inclusion of C.C being in the band. It never needed changing and when it did change they became something different to the point of questioning why they didn't have it as a different name.
poison improved a lot with richie kotzen... but motley didn't. that motley crue album its really a bad album.
Agreed corabi crue was fucking great. As much as Vince was good he sucked at the end. Corabi could've made them decent til the end. Hell they might even be still going
patricio morales bad album? Motley crue 1994 wtf
Agree completely. Both bands had a shot a transcending "hair metal" and becoming something more timeless. Instead they both pissed that chance away trying to cater to a fan base that was no longer buying albums & going to concerts but was instead buying their first house and having kids.
Definitely one of Poison's BEST pieces of work. The album is awesome.
This tune has true meaning :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!
Bonne fête Ritchie Kotzen ❤
That tone on that telecaster made me fall in love with teles
Native Tongue is an amazing freaking album. Not a bad song on it.
