Desert storm vet here.. brother u are so right about the homeless vets. It’s disgusting what our country does to them and a lot of vets. Thanks for ur service... doesn’t matter what branch we were in, we are all brothers.
Nothing but respect for all of our men and women that have served and given me and my children the freedom we have.. Thank You. My Pop-Pop served in WWII my husband's father served in WWII.. My Dad served.. in between wars but he served. RESPECT
Brett Michaels (Lead Singer) donates a portion of his proceeds to a vet organization, in every city he does a concert in. He also donates to local Diabetes charities, because he is a life long diabetic. He is a HUGE supporter, of our military/vets. A little info on this video: During the song, when he sings about his friend dying, he didn't know they were going to play video of the guy. They wanted his pure reaction to it, and it said he truly cried. Brett gets a lot of crap, from a lot of people, but he is a good guy, who gives a lot, and has almost died a few times. I believe God has some kind of plan for this man.
The best friend was also his personal security guy, which is why you see him leading Bret out, he killed himself. I met Bret once at a concert and I have to say he was the most down to earth and nicest person I've ever met. It was before the concert and he took the time to have a conversation with me when he would have been getting ready for the show. After the show he invited everyone out to his bus to sign autographs for them, this was a very small venue in Nashville when he was doing solo shows. One other thing, media has portrayed Bret as being a hardcore party guy and even suggested he shoots up and this story came from someone who was interviewing him backstage one time when he was actually giving himself an insulin shot, they claimed he was shooting up. He doesn't do drugs, and I don't think he drinks (if he does it's not much) mainly because of his diabetes, he has been type 1 diabetic since he was 6 yrs old, and from what he told me, he has to keep constant control over it. (I'm a type 2 diabetic so we talked about it)
wow, someone who actually knows the story behind the vid, but it was not his friend, it was his best friend, you see the dude in the vid also, the second half of the vid, wow, its rare that people knows a story behind the songs like this nawadays :)
It used to be the #1 song played on MTV in 1990 though. But you are SO VERY correct. People don’t give enough credit to Brett Michaels about the lyrical creativity of this song.
@@myreviews8099 yeah they have more top 10 songs than Motley Crue and Def Leppard combined and they have the same amount of top 10 songs as Guns N’ Roses but people underrate them
The part about his friend dying really happened to him. It was a security guard for his group. He’s watching the clips they show while he’s singing. The director inserted clips of his friend and he ended up having to take a break cause it was too painful. You can see the real emotion in his eyes during that verse.
“Fallen Angel” was also a song he wrote about a girl they knew that fell on hard times after moving to California. Poison is one of my favorite bands, their music is well written and thoughtful. I saw them live 20 years ago and they were absolutely amazing.
I personally believe that if you serve our country in the world's greatest military, you should be taken care of for life. There is no excuse why the government is allowing all these vets to go homeless. Shame on the government
My Pop, a vietnam vet stationed in Thailand and exposed to Agent Orange died from cancer caused by the agent... Government didn't offer shit... Thanks for thinking about folks like him and so many others.... Peace!!!!
What’s even worse is that it’s been debated and “worked on” for many decades now. Yet veteran suicides and homelessness rises exponentially every year 😢. As someone who served, I can definitely say that I wish I had more influence to create some kind of change for my fellow vets. This song damn near makes me cry every time and is one of the many reasons why Poison is my favorite band of all time.
You are so right. I am extremely conservative and dont like the government handing out money, but this is different. These people served and worked for our country. they gave everything. We owe them. There should be no such thing as a homeless vet
The politicians future is more important than us veterans. Why do u think they get paid almost 6digits for the rest of their lives and we get barely over poverty while we in and fight for what little we get after.
Here’s a little fact about this song. When he is singing the verse about his best friend dying, that really happened. It was his bodyguard. If you notice during this part of the video, he gets emotional and actually stops “singing” for a few seconds. It’s because it had not been that long since his friend had passed and he did not know that they were going to show the video of him. It caught him off guard.
MORE HAIR METAL LOVE the group Cinderella....any song on their Long Cold Winter album Tesla, Slaughter, Lita Ford,Blondie, Ozzy, Joan Jett, Kim Carnes, Heart
That’s was Bret’s friend and bodyguard who committed suicide in the hotel room if you notice he lost it a bit and he wasn’t singing really in time because the director placed the photos and Bret didn’t know. That’s where the song came from.
I try to thank vets and active military personnel every chance I get. My dad was Air Force, my Uncle a Marine and Grandfather was Navy. I am thankful every day for the sacrifices that military families have to endure.
One of my two favorite "hair bands" from the era. You could deep dive these guys and not be disappointed. Thanks for this, even though I hate for the tragic circumstances that had the lady request it.
Poison is one of my favorite 80’s metal bands. They get a lot of crap because of the way they looked and because a lot of there stuff is superficial but as musicians they’re awesome (just like many 80’s hair bands) but Bretts voice is beautiful and cece’s guitar is amazing!!!
Poison is on tour - maybe if you add that to the description, they won't block it? (Poison, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, and Joan Jett - looks to be a great show)
Thank you for your service to this great country of ours sir! My wife and children can sleep in peace, and safety because of heroes such as yourself. You did not know what you would face when you signed up, and that is courage! Thank you brother!
Thank you Laura for this request. My prayers for you and your family. Just know the Lord is always with you and will never leave you. He loves you and grieves with you. 💔😢🙏✝️
Having been a military wife and now the momma of an active duty military son... I totally get it... as much as I can without having served in the full capacity. Ms. Laurie, I’m praying for you and your children, please accept my sincerest condolences,.. God bless you
I totally agree with you about our vets. I saw a sign that fits in my opinion... If you don't want to stand behind our military then gladly stand in front of them... Enough said.
Thank you so much. Music is how I express myself and how I work through things. My girls are the same way. I am trying so hard to find something positive to grab a hold of. Me and my daughter was going to the store when he was still on life support and we prayed together and ask God for a sign that he would be ok. Not even 1 min later a deer jumped out in front of us and we hit it going 57 mph. It completely totaled the car. Then my husband passed the next week. And last week my other daughter's dog got attacked by 3 coyotes and he died the next morning. They grew up together and he was her best friend and he was the only thing that was giving her comfort. Some people say it's just a dog. To us they are people also. He was my son in my eyes. So it's dark place bad right now and all of you guys prayers and thoughts help more than you could ever imagine
@@loraharvey6740 Wow! I wish I had a favorite cliche or saying that I could comfort you with. I don't. This is an amazing amount of scary things to have to go through all at once. All testing the boundaries of life and death. I love your spirit and willingness to find outlets like music and social media to find comfort. You will be in my thoughts and prayers 💚
Unfortunately, sometimes, things have to get worse before they get better. To anyone... ANYONE... that needs to hear this.... I love you for you.... NEVER stop living! 💜💜💜
I have a neighbor who has no belief in the military and what they stand for (that’s not worded right but the best I can do right now) but I always tell her that you can support the men and women who put their lives on the line of our country without supporting the government or whatnot and that she should. That normally stops the argument in its tracks lol
I'll grant you, our military veteran don't get near the respect they deserve, but it's NOTHING like it was when they came back from Vietnam. People spit on them and called them baby killers and worse things that I won't repeat.
God bless you Laura, sorry for your loss. Hope things will work out in your favor of course. A great song indeed, I hate the Wars, but the soldiers are so brave and doing their part and if not for them, God only knows! So Thank you all the service men and women. Thank you so much..! And thanks Billy for a good reaction.
Ms Laura, I have been in some dark lonely places. What ever you're going through please know it truly can get better. Prayers sent to you and your family. Never stop believing, with love from Wi.
Poison was awesome. Reckless Love Mentions them is a very positive perspective in their song I LOVE HEAVY METAL. Poison knew how to have fun and have a good party but they also had their deep moments too.
i was in high school in the late 70s , i work with guys that were in nam they were a little older than me . i became good friends with them , They never talk about vietnam , i saw frank one day in shorts i ask him what are those marks on your legs he said they were bullet holes and left at that , later on i was talking to his brother in law and he told me frank was running to a chopper with two wounded soldiers on his back frank was a big guy 6'5 , just before he got to the chopper he was hit with machine gun fire in the legs , people today have no idea what vets have been thru, God Bless are Vets they keep america safe and free.
A few facts from an old poison buff on how this song was written this was during the time when Jim Baker got caught , Bret has always advocated respect for the military and they even sent care packages to the guys oversees out if pocket, his best friend was his bodyguard kimo that really happened and when they first came to L.A they lived in an abandoned warehouse so they were actually homeless at first and they worked really hard to get where they got in the hayday if hairmetal they used to spend all day putting flyers on cars for whatever gig they were playing. I guess I've bored you enough Positive energy 👌 for you mam . I hope you find your something to believe in
I grew up with Poison. First rock t shirt I ever bought. Went to a swap meet at a drive in theater a few tiwns over.. Look what the cat dragged in and a goddy skull ring. 6th grade was awesome!
I Won't Forget You, Fallen Angel, Every Rose Has It's Thorn...Poison could do the deep songs (well deep for hair metal) when they wanted to. Grew up on these guys, and what I was sober enough to remember was good times.
This has to be most profound "Hair metal song " ever. Bless Miss LOrrie and her girls. I'm coming up on one year after loosing my dad . I''m an adult but still hurts.
I've learned to trust in the Lord. Lost my job when the company I worked for didn't get their contract renewed. I wasn't worried at first. Have experience, great references and a good attendance record. 7 months later I've only had 1 interview in spite of uncountable applications. My unemployment had run out and my savings was gone. (I'm over 60 and found out that age discrimination does exist) My sister was ill and needed help so I was going to her apartment 4 days a week (had to borrow gas money). One night on my way home I'm crying as I drove, praying and begging God for help. Finally I just told the Lord I'd done everything I could so I was putting it in His hands, placing all my trust in Him. Felt immediate relief and 2 days later I received 3 job offers! Trust in the Lord and never give up hope!
Truly a gem. Especially the part of his best friend/bodyguard dying and getting the news on Christmas Eve. You can see the pain on his face watching the clips. An underrated song that means so much to so many. P.S. You said about going in and coming out of the service…as one vet to another, thank you for your service.
Both my Uncle's served in Nam and thankfully came home.. not quite the same but they are still here at 77 and 75.. My brother-in-law couldn't take it and committed suicide in 2000.I don't remember that time.. I was a baby.. but I truly can't imagine not respecting our men and women that serve our country.. I still don't understand why ppl hated our men and women who served in Nam... They didn't have a choice.. they were drafted.. they HAD to go and serve.. They didn't deserve the hate they came home to.
Ahhh Poison one of my favorites from the 80's and 90's.. love all their music.. I've been in that dark place for weeks now, I'm grasping at anything to pull me out.. it's an up hill battle and at times feels like wasted energy...
I understand that place completely. If you need or want to talk I'm right here. I know you don't know me but just trust me when I say I definitely know how the dark place feels and sometimes talking it out helps. Like I said I am here if you need to vent and rant. Hugs
This is an amazing song and based on true events. His body guard and friend died in a palm springs hotel room he locked himself in his room when he got the news and wrote this song. The veteran part is about his cousin Bob who was in wounded in Vietnam. There's actually another version of this song that is 28 minutes long.
And when his bodyguard kimo is shown in the video. He breaks down and cries. They left it in the video. You can see because he stops singing (lip synching for video)
I can't listen to this song without crying. This was my youngest brother's favorite song when it came out. This song was played at his funeral. He was only 16 years old when he was murdered.
I'm so sorry for your brother. I'm praying for him and you and your family. No matter how long it has been. I hope justice was found along with peace for you and your family. I know first hand how hard loss can be. Hugs coming your way.
This one by poison is really good if you listen to the words closely you will like it I like meaning behind the song Thank you for sharing this Billy😇🙏👍😁🤩😍🥰👏👏🤟💛🧡
Billy, you are so right when you said that when feeling like you need something and you pray for something to make things feel better, we do that when we feel at our lowest. But that something happens when you least expect it. I think it can be anything that suddenly makes a person feel better. For example a small gesture from a stranger who said hello, a dog that comes up to you and wags its tail, sometimes just the smallest thing makes a person feel better. That is why I believe in kindness. I could be in a store and someone is rude, like anyone else my first thought is "What a jerk". But I came to realize that a person being "a jerk" might just be having a hard time. I am not saying that being an ass is acceptable.....just try kindness before reacting. You can be surprised how that person reacts.
I pray for anybody is having a hard time with anything right now Weatherby the loss of a loved one are just struggling in general with any situation that God will help you and give you whatever you need
This video has never been banned in this country! One of Poisons greatest songs.. such a powerful message. Prayers for the lady and her family that requested this song

When Poison wanted to they could be as deep as anyone. Too bad their bread and butter was a party rock band.
I'm a huge Poison fan and I totally agree with you.
This song is just perfect for any one
Ahh, that takes me back to my teen years, thank you.
Such an amazing underappreciated song!!!
This has to be most profound "Hair metal song " ever. Bless Miss LOrrie and her girls. I'm coming up on one year after loosing my dad . I''m an adult but still hurts.
Nice job Billy! That was inspired! Thank you
Yes it was
80s rock was amazing
More Poison ☠️!
Am gonna follow you from this. Sending love And prayers. Rare the sincerity you have.
One of my favorite Poison songs
One of my favorite songs
I've learned to trust in the Lord. Lost my job when the company I worked for didn't get their contract renewed. I wasn't worried at first. Have experience, great references and a good attendance record. 7 months later I've only had 1 interview in spite of uncountable applications. My unemployment had run out and my savings was gone. (I'm over 60 and found out that age discrimination does exist) My sister was ill and needed help so I was going to her apartment 4 days a week (had to borrow gas money). One night on my way home I'm crying as I drove, praying and begging God for help. Finally I just told the Lord I'd done everything I could so I was putting it in His hands, placing all my trust in Him. Felt immediate relief and 2 days later I received 3 job offers! Trust in the Lord and never give up hope!
prayers done Billy 🙏🙏 We are here Ms Laura
Thank you so much.
My condolences to her and her family
All prayers and condolences to miss laura,well done Billy!
Billy thank you for your service !
Truly a gem. Especially the part of his best friend/bodyguard dying and getting the news on Christmas Eve. You can see the pain on his face watching the clips. An underrated song that means so much to so many. P.S. You said about going in and coming out of the service…as one vet to another, thank you for your service.
Thank you for doing this for Miss Laura and for your dedication. No particular order. Just a thanks and sending love.
Thank you so very much

Both my Uncle's served in Nam and thankfully came home.. not quite the same but they are still here at 77 and 75.. My brother-in-law couldn't take it and committed suicide in 2000.I don't remember that time.. I was a baby.. but I truly can't imagine not respecting our men and women that serve our country.. I still don't understand why ppl hated our men and women who served in Nam... They didn't have a choice.. they were drafted.. they HAD to go and serve.. They didn't deserve the hate they came home to.
Ahhh Poison one of my favorites from the 80's and 90's.. love all their music..
I've been in that dark place for weeks now, I'm grasping at anything to pull me out.. it's an up hill battle and at times feels like wasted energy...
I understand that place completely. If you need or want to talk I'm right here. I know you don't know me but just trust me when I say I definitely know how the dark place feels and sometimes talking it out helps. Like I said I am here if you need to vent and rant. Hugs
@@loraharvey6740 Thank you I will likely take u up on that at some point ❤️
@@sunshineness2007 anytime
This is an amazing song and based on true events. His body guard and friend died in a palm springs hotel room he locked himself in his room when he got the news and wrote this song. The veteran part is about his cousin Bob who was in wounded in Vietnam.
There's actually another version of this song that is 28 minutes long.
This song was named after his tattoo on his arm.
And when his bodyguard kimo is shown in the video. He breaks down and cries. They left it in the video. You can see because he stops singing (lip synching for video)
@@gabeackerman4964 yes it breaks my heart. That part is very sad. I always said that this song and video was heartbreakingly beautiful.
I can't listen to this song without crying. This was my youngest brother's favorite song when it came out. This song was played at his funeral. He was only 16 years old when he was murdered.
I'm so sorry for your brother. I'm praying for him and you and your family. No matter how long it has been. I hope justice was found along with peace for you and your family. I know first hand how hard loss can be. Hugs coming your way.
One of my favorites from the band
This one by poison is really good if you listen to the words closely you will like it I like meaning behind the song Thank you for sharing this Billy😇🙏👍😁🤩😍🥰👏👏🤟💛🧡
Thanks for your services.
Thank you for your service
Mrs. Laura if you are reading this, you & your family are in my prayers. I am so sorry. In my prayers daily for comfort. 🤗 hugs!!
Billy, you are so right when you said that when feeling like you need something and you pray for something to make things feel better, we do that when we feel at our lowest. But that something happens when you least expect it. I think it can be anything that suddenly makes a person feel better. For example a small gesture from a stranger who said hello, a dog that comes up to you and wags its tail, sometimes just the smallest thing makes a person feel better. That is why I believe in kindness. I could be in a store and someone is rude, like anyone else my first thought is "What a jerk". But I came to realize that a person being "a jerk" might just be having a hard time. I am not saying that being an ass is acceptable.....just try kindness before reacting. You can be surprised how that person reacts.
Love poison . Great band
I pray for anybody is having a hard time with anything right now Weatherby the loss of a loved one are just struggling in general with any situation that God will help you and give you whatever you need
This video has never been banned in this country! One of Poisons greatest songs.. such a powerful message. Prayers for the lady and her family that requested this song
