POISON has two new CD's out and if ya ask me...why put them out.
One is just another greatest hits with a few additional songs.
and the other is called BALLADS & BLUES another greatest hits but the ballad and blues songs.
I'm a bigtime POISON fan but I have to say that I find these two new CD's pretty useless.
think brett & co's record company is short of some bling cuz lol
LMFAO!!!
True
I fikkin hate it when they do this thing releasing cd's just to make some money. Just rehashing stuff we've already got.
Seems to be the trend as of late with these 80s Glam acts. Maybe they have album committments to their record company, but no new material? Maybe they've had requests from fans for it, but everyone's done it with greatest hits and live album, even your beloved Ki$$, LMAO!!
Raggz, did you buy them? I guess some people HAVE to have everything a band puts out, some people don't.
Is it worthy of your hard-earned dollar? Everyone will have their own opinion on that.
I personally buy some greatest hits cds, if it fills in gaps from missing studio stuff, or if the old studio stuff of mine is on tape (which is usually the case).
La Guns did this not long ago with greatest hits, then cocked and reloaded etc
I do like greatest hits albums like Stacey says it is good to fill a gap in your collection if you like a hand full of songs by a particular band
Stacey...
No I didn't buy them at all and I won't.
I have all these songs already so I see why the need for the two new CD's.
Yeah, exactly. I have the first 4 Poison albums on cassette, so when the Greatest Hits 86-96 came out, I got that on cd, as that had the best tracks on. No point duplicating if you have the tracks on disc already.
ya just ain't whistling dixie there Stacey...hehehe.
Oooops....my Texas drawl came out.
Huh? I was only gonna pay for stuff I liked! Not bought any Poison since that Greatest Hits. Not felt the need, or heard any of the other stuff.
What I don't know, I don't miss.
I am just cheap [img]wink.gif[/img] lol!!
In the sense that if I can't afford 4 albums I wait and just buy a greatest hits one it is easier
Even if Poison put out a cd of all new songs... it would still be the same album that they've put out for the last 15 years.
If you honestly expect them to do something new and fresh you're fooling yourself. They are one of those bands that found fame with one thing and instead of trying to grow with it - they stayed right where they were. They are no longer musicians... they are performers. It's a novelty act. Much like - as much as I love them - Kiss.
There are very few bands in the world - that have been around for decades - that have changed with the times. So I'm not saying what Poison does is a bad thing. I'm just saying it's all I expect from them. Hell even Bret's solo album might as well say Poison's greatest hits on it.
SIn are you totally insane>???? POison did grow maybe you never heard NAtive TOngue or Crack a smile??
And BRets solo cd sounds nothing like POison
As far as the blues and ballds go there are some tracks on there that rock and never got the recognition they deserved like LIfe loves a tragedy Besides its a best of blues and ballds not a best of POison
I'm not insane. I stick to my opinion as someone who is well educated and enjoys a variety of music. If you only listen to one type of music - I guess you would pick up on changes in the style of those bands.
The only difference I see is they wear less makeup than in the beginning.
