Bio:

Poison is an American glam metal band that achieved great commercial success in the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s. Poison has sold over 45 million records worldwide and have sold 15 million records in the United States alone.The band has also charted ten singles to the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, including six Top 10 singles and the Hot 100 number-one, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn".The band became icons of the 1980s MTV era and have had widespread commercial success. The band's breakthrough debut album, the multi-platinum Look What the Cat Dragged In, was released in 1986 and they hit their peak with the second album, Open Up and Say... Ahh!, which became the band's most successful album, being certified 5x platinum in the US. The popularity continued into the new decade with their third consecutive multi-platinum selling album, Flesh & Blood.In the 1990s following the release of the band's first live album, Swallow This Live, the band experienced some line up changes and the fall of Pop Metal with the grunge movement, but despite a drop in popularity the band's fourth studio album, Native Tongue, still achieved Gold status and the band's first compilation album, Poison's Greatest Hits: 1986–1996, went double platinum.In the 2000s, with the original line up back together, the band found new popularity after a successful greatest hits reunion tour in 1999. The band began the new decade with the release of the long awaited Crack a Smile... and More!, followed by the Power to the People album. The band toured almost every year to sold out stadiums and arenas. They released a brand new album,hollyweird, in 2002 and in 2006 the band celebrated their 20 year anniversary with The Best of Poison: 20 Years of Rock tour and album, which was certified Gold and marked Poison's return to the Billboard top 20 charts for the first time since 1993. Band members have released several solo albums and starred in successful reality TV shows. After 25 years, the band is still recording music and performing.Since their debut in 1986, they have released seven studio albums, four live albums, five compilation albums, and have issued 28 singles to radio.On March 1, Poison announced a 2011 Summer tour with Mötley Crüe and New York Dolls to celebrate Poison's 25th anniversary and Mötley Crüe's 30th Anniversary named the Glam-A-Geddon.Also for Poison's 25th Anniversary, 35 of the multi-platinum band's top hits and fan favorites have been gathered for "Poison - Double Dose: Ultimate Hits", a new career-spanning 2CD and digital collection to be released May 3, 2011 by Capitol/EMI.In 2012 Poison will once again tour with Def Leppard for the Rock of Ages Tour & joining them will be Lita Ford.

"Jammin' with Friends" was released June 25, 2013 and charted at #13 on the Top Hard Rock Albums, #23 on the Top Independent Albums, #29 on the Top Rock Albums and #80 on The Billboard 200

Album:

A couple months ago we presented here the first batch of Universal Records Japan reissue campaign of various '80s Rock artists / albums from their back catalog on high quality SHM-CD, all remastered, with bonus tracks and with an affordable, reduced price.Among these artists is POISON, and their multi-Platinum third album "Flesh & Blood" featuring 2 bonus tracks.After the glammy, hair metal party of the band's two previous efforts, "Flesh & Blood" was Poison's 'get serious' album, and one of the strongest of their career. The idea was to write and record more mature music and lyrics, something that guitarist C.C. DeVille was opposed to. He saw nothing wrong with the glam-slam-king-of-noize direction that they started on, and maintained that Look What the Cat Dragged In was their high point. He saw the introduction of more classic hard rock blues influences as diluting the Poison sound he liked.However, "Flesh & Blood" is the best thing C.C. has done, and ultimately he was very happy with the result.Take the opening track “Valley of Lost Souls” for example (preceded by intro called “Strange Days of Uncle Jack”). “Valley” rocks heavy with integrity and an edge that Poison hadn’t displayed before, and C.C. throws in a lot of tasty, toffee-like strings. His soloing will never be considered virtuoso and his tone has always been straight to the point, but never has C.C. generated such guitar thrills as he does on this album.I'm sure that producer Bruce Fairbairn steered this ship with a firm hand. His stamp is all over "Flesh & Blood": from weird segues to rich backing vocals, this is a Fairbairn production through and through. Fairbairn was known to be a taskmaster, and I’m sure he worked C.C. (and the whole band) to the bone. The title track, “(Flesh & Blood) Sacrifice” has his patented, perfectly arranged vocal stamp. The vocals are layered and almost Leppard-lush. This is the second excellent song in a row, so say what you like about Poison as performers, but they wrote some darn good songs too.Then you have the smash hit "Unskinny Bop", the pop metal staple in any strip club around the world to this day.“Let It Play” is simple but memorably melodic, then arrives another favorite of mine: the timeless sounding midtempo “Life Goes On”. I loved this bombastic electric semi power ballad then, and I still do now. A classic.Then, the fun party side of Poison remained intact on the album with “Ride the Wind”, a no-brainer. This track sounds like its title, like a 'driving a car' song, a rock and roll ode to the thrills of the road. I’d rank this easily among Poison’s best hits - top five. Another terrific cut is “Something to Believe In”, also a successful single / video. Bret Michaels wrote some pretty good lyrics here (about his best friend who died “in some Palm Springs hotel room”). Really heartfelt, and another Poison's best tunes ever.We have a new highlight with “Life Loves a Tragedy”, this song shoulda woulda coulda been a hit. The soft intro fools you into thinking it’s a ballad. It’s not but a ballsy rocker with another Bret Michaels lyric that you’d call more mature: “My vices have turned to habits, and my habits have turned to stone,” sings Bret. “I gotta stop living at a pace that kills, ‘fore I wake up dead.” Not poetry really, but really authentic. The chorus kills, as does the whole song. Another top five Poison track in my book.This fresh Japanese edition on SHM-CD sounds excellent, and I think the remaster has given much more punch to "Flesh & Blood".We have two bonus tracks; one is an acoustic version of “Something to Believe In” from the Life Goes On single B-side. It has new lyrics and C.C. adding nylon guitar melodies over the acoustic background. Nice version.Lastly there’s “God Save the Queen”, an instrumental variation of the Sex Pistols song turned 'sleazy' with hard rocking riffs and smashing drumming. Cool.
