Re: "Ride The Wind" - Was this absolute peak Poison?

It all maxed out here. According to Wiki, they had 8 top 40 singles before this. Then this song and next single Life Goes On BARELY cracked the top 40 but they did. MTV played the videos a lot. Not as much as the others, but quite a bit. So that's 10 top 40 singles in 3 records! My God...no wonder ...

Re: Your least favourite song on slippery when wet?

I always skip over both Let it Rock and Social Disease. It's funny how those 2 songs are on "side one" with Bad Name, Prayer and Wanted. I get it...they wanted to add some more straight ahead, fun/party rockers, but Edge of a Broken Heart really is a better song than either of those.

Re: People who get called "underrated" so much that they probably aren't.

Michael Monroe and/or Hanoi Rocks?

That may be the wrong answer though because I think he/they really are underrated!

Did they ever have a gold or platinum record? top 40 hit?

I feel like everyone knows who he is and who they were but probably can't mention many songs from them!

Re: CHICK ROW … Watch Lzzy Hale sing her guts out with Skid Row during their first show together

this is all just a gimmicky quick fix to honor the shows that were on the books. once the tour is over, she'll go back to her own gig and Skid Row will get another vocalist that no one cares about. Ouch! It is true that it's just a quick fix, but I think the fans are having fun with it. She sounds ...

Very “Daisy and the Sixes” or whatever that show was called. I wonder if she was up for that role? Turns out that was Lisa Marie Presleys daughter! I need to re watch that show.

They never seemed very Rockin' to me. Why didn't they just go further into an alternative direction? The first 3 records are their definitive rock albums.

He was hired to make hit records and that’s what he did. Sonically, I think Poison Open Up and Say Ahh sounds better than the ones mentioned above.
