The Poison video they never wanted you to see.........

So before Talk Dirty etc, this is a vid with a very early line up. Quality is shit but hey?....

YouTube - Poison - Rock Like a Rocker promo

Did we ever want to see ANY of them?

Pull your finger out Paul and get me that vid!!

So what happened to it anyway - got it back yet?

He he, I actually think Poison had some great videos for the singles of their first album.

You can discuss the songs and all that to death of course, but I think as far as action goes Poison really nailed it in those videos.

Can't remember which song it is but I think you see a picture of Bobby Dall plunking away on his bass, CC comes up from behind and the camera follows him and then stops at Bret. Not really rocket sience, but just small camera tricks that made some of those videos scream ACTION

Just my point of view, but I think Poison had some of the best videos of that late 80's MTV glam era

Thankyou soooo much for this link Grant. I've wanted to see this vid so bad ever since I first heard about it. Bret looks completely lost without a microphone stand. Love his Dave Lee Roth kick towards the end too. Marvelously cheesy stuff!

You mean someone saw that and still signed them?
H

Great stuff....why wouldn't they give Bret a mic to at least lip sync???? He looks like a dipshit.

OMG!!!

This is, by far, the ugliest video that I ever saw in my life... and let me tell you THAT I LOVE IT!!!! HAHAHAHAHA

Two words for this: POISON RULEZ!

Thanks a lot for this one Grant!!

HAHAHA...oh god....I never laughed so hard.
Thanks Grant!

Brett is dancing a bit fruity...and Love the excellent lyrics....LMFAO!!!

ROCK LIKE A ROCKER!!!!! ROCK LIKE A ROCKER!!!!!!!

Geez, probably took 2mins to write that song....hahaha.

Ah-hah-haaa-haa, that made m e grin rather widely!!hahahaa. And I had to watch silent, as this computer don't have sound. So I'm sure I may have missed half the fun without hearing the song. But yeah, thanks for that.2 funny

OMG..that is hysterical!!!! I LOVE the dance moves!!!!

ARE THEY REALLY??? OR JUST WOOD PUPPETS??? AND BELIEVE ME,I STILL THINK IT'S THEIR BEST ERA AND I STILL LOVE 'EM!!!!LOL!!! AND I THOUGHT THAT THE WORST VIDEO I'D WATCH WOULD BE THE BON JOVI'S "RUNAWAY"!!!
