![]() If the whole album is like this, it’s going to be hard going to get through this. What do we have? The first couple of songs I had no fucking idea about. So not being familiar with Kotzen-era Poison, this is all pretty new to me. There was a joke circulating that Kotzen would have to wear boxing gloves to play as poorly as De Ville. By the time this was recorded in early 1993, CC had been ejected due to tension in the band caused by his drug abuse problems, and hotshot guitar hero Richie Kotzen had taken his place. Poison were always the butt of jokes for their massive hairspray abuse, feminine looks, and CC De Ville’s supposed shortcomings as a guitar player. But I must have dragged this thing out of a bargain bin at some time. And besides, no self-respecting thrasher would admit to owning a Poison album. I was in search of harder, faster music, and they certainly weren’t producing it. After all, I parted company with Bret Michaels and the boys in the early 90s. I don’t actually remember buying this particular album, let alone listening to it, and can’t understand why I would have bought it in the first place. Being bored in lockdown, I had a quick squiz through my CD collection at a few albums I hadn’t listened to much, and came across “Seven Days Live”. aah!” til the tape wore out (yes, back in the 80s), and I own “Look What The Cat Dragged In”, but then I stopped listening some time around the time I first heard “Unskinny Bop”. I was right into them at one stage though.
