Official Music Video for Ride The Wind performed by Poison. Stay in touch with Poison here: / poison / poison / poison / poisonvevo PoisonOfficial.com #Poison #RideTheWind
Crazy to think it was almost Slash instead of CC on guitar for Poison! There were apparently so many mixes, formations, break ups, and overall mix and matching between the LA rock scene in the 80's that a lot of various people played with one another in other bands, or were nearly a part of another band. With Motely Crue, Poison, Guns N Roses, LA Guns, and apparently a variety of other well known, and not so well known bands ....they all knew each other and played at various times with different lineups.
@@MaximusX67 Nikki Sixx of the Crüe and Izzy Stradlin of GNR were in the same band at one point. Makes it funnier how Izzy and Vince Neil got into a scuffle later on
Love the 80's, greatest decade in terms of musical genius and over the top performances. I grew up in the 80's, graduated in '85 and I too wish that decade never ended. The 90's signaled the end of the hair bands and Heavy Metal in general.
I'm a millennial born in 81 and I think the 80s were the best decade and I'm sure many of my generation would agree, I have great memories and I being so young of course I wished I was an adult to go through that era but now I think it was great to see the 80s with a fresh view
I was born on 97 sadly... I missed that era... But I can still listen to the legends which makes me a little more happy... I love that era's music.... My uncles introduced me to this stuff and I fell in love immediately... I always watch videos of concerts and people enjoying it and I could only wish and long to experience it... I know I won't ever be able to... But nevertheless... I love this music
Thanks to my father starting me as an infant I'm now 22 years old and know almost know every song of every 80s hair bands. I can proudly say I wish I was a teen in the 80s. This is real music.
That's parenting done right!! I'm 34. My parents had a pretty bitching vinyl collection. I learned everything from Buddy Holly, Richie Vallens, The Big Bopper, Frank Sinatra, Hanoi Rocks, Jim Croce, CSN&Y, Cream, GNR, Warrant, Tesla, The Outfield, Reo Speedwagon, REM, The Police, OZZY, and all of the rest of the 80's. Thanks to my parents, and stuff I've discovered on my own, I've got over 30,000 songs on my playlists. I love all music, but the 80's is definitely my go to.
There was an energy to the music, the culture, the country. You didn't text or tictoc anyone, you went to their house, you stood out in the street, you talked and laughed and lived until 2 in the morning. It was real, it was face to face. Poison was part of that, and many more
I think one thing people forget, is that, their precious technology didn't exist then. It was much rougher, but people were much more reasonable and humane.
For all the flack that hairmetal bands got back in the day, Poison, Warrant, Skid Row, White Lion and others made some great music. What a great time to be alive. I miss those days but thankful I had them.
To me Flesh and Bloods one of those very rare albums you can play start to finish and theirs no weak or record fillers its very solid, very deep, and damn sure well written and played record I've never not listened to it and played to it since it was released
That's me at 24 seconds...in the middle back peeking my 21 year old head through the front row of the crowd. Video shot in Louisville, KY...I had front row, center stage tix. I'm 44 now...been awhile but I remember them shooting the concert footage that night.
Damm in Louisville ky not far from we're I'm at. man that had to be cool, yea ol poison like the rest of the hair bands back in the late 80s kicked ass.
@@shaftlamer As a 14 year old, 80s glam rock, and 70s rock and roll and soft rock is a lot better way to raise a kid on than you're modern pop bullshit.
Charlie Ritchie Try considering their superior composition and CCs highly technical playing instead of "the musicality aspect."

***** Hey Danny !! I´m Always seeing you at the comments of my favorite bands as well haha We must be related somehow lol we have the same taste for music haha Keep rocking my friend :)
Hearts of fire Streets of stone Modern warriors Saddle iron horses of chrome Taste the wild Lick the wind Like something they never saw before Their jaws dropping to the floor Steel made of soul and sin Rebels born without a care (And the day he listens) Only to fly where eagles dare And the night she whispers Ride the wind Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun (Ride the wind) (Never coming back again) Ride the wind Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun Painted flesh Loyalty Humble pride Just as far as the eye can see Stories told Two old friends Of battle scars and lonely bars And nights the rain wouldn't end Here's to withered eyes wearing gypsy smiles (And the day he listens) Here's to lovely ladies and a million miles And the night she whispers Ride the wind Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun (Ride the wind) (Never coming back again) Ride the wind I'm still the bravest soul in sin Burning till the night is done Of all the truths and lies And stories of riders in the sky They say only the bravest try Where eagles and angels dare to fly Ride the wind Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun (Ride the wind) (Never coming back again) Ride the wind Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun Ride the wind Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun Ride the wind Never coming back again Ride the wind Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
Finally, after 2+ years and multiple reschedules, we caught 'em in Hershey, PA. Of course, Mother Nature wanted to make her presence known. Wicked storm rolled in and, fortunately, kept on rollin'. One hour delay, standing with the rest of the herd. All soaked to the bone. But it fired off and no one gave a flip about their soggy asses. Poison delivered with DL a close 2nd. Vince Neil didn't bring it(my opinion,only). Great concert, no question.
A lot of people laugh when you mention Hair Bands. Bands like Poison, Ratt, etc, had amazing talent. Not to mention that they were actually playing as a band & playing instruments, not like now. The present music scene is pathetic. \M/etal Rules!!!
"Hair Bands" or "Glam Rock" are terrible adjectives for these amazing bands, they combined Heavy metal + Hard Rock + a little bit of punk and pop, they are great musicians, trained vocalists and wrote some of the best songs of the 80´s and part of the 90´s, people that laugh are people with no musical knowledge probably listening to Regueton today!
Just came back from a motorbike ride 'gentlemen's ride' today. Was awesome. This Song always stuck with me. I hear it in my head sometimes when i ride 😁👍 glory days
glad to hear that, yes that's the ftrm belief of many of us. much better music writing the whole thing. i mostly listen stuff from back in the day. no offense it is refreshing to hear that from perspective of this generation. i have very wide range, a lot of music i like goes all wayback to fifties and sixties. whole different world, swhole different time. follow yer heart wildthang, you'llfind your groove. on final note think that most, not all. but most of "music" today sucks. it's synthesized pulled sample for other songs some of these "artists" don't even know how to play any instrument.....sad. just waned to reach out and say you're not alone. ours really was a rockin era
If you werent there in the 80s you will never understand how awesome it was. Nothing after it even comes close accept maybe the early 90s up to like 92.
Growing up I wished I’d experienced the 60’s, now I know, the 80’s and 90’s were the real time to grow up! I’d love to go back and do it all over again just like I did the first time. I wouldn’t change anything.
Darrell, this is forever your song now bro. We rode the wind, and tried where only the angels dared to fly. You've been with them for over 20 years now and I know, you've kept me from joining you too many times since then.,
Not really. I would say around 2004 it got a resurgence when some of these bands were back at arena tours instead of clubs like in the 90s. It has fairly been level since it seems .
+Josh Armoogam One minor detail here. This single(and album) was released in 1990(single in 1991) but still had the 80's vibe. I was a 1st year college student when this was released and that was the 1990-91 academic year.
Even though the Album was released in 1990 there is a strong chance it was recorded in 1989 as well as parts of 1990 and the 1st year or 2 of a new decade almost ALWAYS sound like the last year of the previous decade as albums for that frame were recorded in the previous year.
I was not born in the 80s but I got a story about this song so when I was in middle school I use to get bullied a lot and I remember one day coming home crying and the tv was on with this song and i was listing, to this song and something told me everything gonna be alright, and man that feeling did come true and now I'm living my best life.
Sigh... greatest times ever!!! My son's first concert was at 10 yo and we took him to see Poison and Def Leppard followed the next weekend with Motley Crue...he is now 26...and fronts his own rock band...ol little did I know lol
The 80s were.... truly.... awesome. I lived it. First half high school, last half college. I was an old school head banger. Back when you were a geek if your hair didn't touch your shoulders. But, I also remember the 70s. That's when as a kid I first started listening to music. When I was first learning to play the guitar and drums. Around third grade. I am an 80s guy, but I have to give the 70s it's dues. It was probably the greatest musical era. Think of all that was going on in the 70s. Started with the 60s still present. The Doors LA Woman.... one of my favorite albums. Then you had, Motown, Punk, Disco, Folk (Think guys like Jim Croce and Gordan Lightfoot), Pop (when it was great), Country was still rolling along (Think about Kenny Rogers, and Alabama), and ROCK. Real Rock. Arena Rock.... Sabbath, Zepplin, Motorhead, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Queen, AC/DC and so many more that set the stage for the 80s. The 70s were a great time to be alive. War was over and people were returning to just living their lives and enjoying it no matter what was happening in the world. It was the age of getting wild and letting it "all hang out." Hell, even the older crowd was partying with a bit of "who cares" attitude (Swinging and Snorting). This carried over into the 80s as the new decade defined itself, but the two are undoubtedly linked together. The 50s were a cultural revolution. When some people dared to break away and be different. Elvis set it all off, and the 50s had to be great. The 60s expanded on this early on, and the experiences of many in the 50s (The Beats) expanded as America faced obstacles. The 60s changed music and culture (The Counter Culture) like no other time in America. I can't say the 60s had to be all fun (the man was forever on your ass and oh, you could be drafted and shipped off to jungle to die halfway around the world), but they were fighting to make it so, even as a war raged on and they were at odds with much of society. If you lived through the 60s as an American youth, you had to be alive. and feel it every moment. More so than any time in the post WWII era. The music certainly reflected this. New ideas of how and what music should be. And so much exploration by bands. The Beatles, The Stones, The Doors, even the Beach Boys (Pet Sounds). They were all on a quest to revolutionize the culture of the youth, and they did. This change would resonate for years in the 70s and 80s. Then came the 90s. I was a grad student. The first time I saw Nirvana on MTv, I thought.... WTF? They looked like they had crawled out of the gutter... I mean literally. Long hair is one thing, but unwashed.... ungroomed long hair? Yuck. Just a GRUNGY lot you wouldn't really want to party with. The music was novel as well. Not particularly skilled or complex. Simple cords, over and over and over It did have a rawness, and I came to appreciate that on a certain level. If nothing else, it still had some soul. The times were changing, and the music reflected that. The early 90s were pretty bleak for the youth of America. Economically it was a hard time to be getting out of college or trying to start out on your own from high school. Somehow, songs like "Nothing but a Good Time" just weren't working at that moment when in reality, good times were getting hard to come by. It was too depressing of a time, and grunge reflected that. But it was just too damn depressing on top of an already too depressing world around you. I've always said that this is why grunge faded quickly. At some point.... relatively quickly.... we wanted to stop listening and do what Bobby McFarren implored us to do a few years earlier.... Don't worry, Be Happy. Music seemed to.... fizzle. There were tunes, but you just knew none of it was going to stick around. The last half of the 90s had a spark here and there (I rather liked Fuel and even Creed for example), but it wasn't the same as what had been the 80s and before. When did I know it was over? Two events. I got into my car and turned on the radio to hear.... Hanson.... M'Bop.... some kind of crap. I sat there a bit stunned and thought, "Yeah, were going downhill fast." Then a short time later, I'm in a discount store just walking through when I saw a huge promotion for some teenie-bopper in pink sitting with her knees mashed together. Some little thing called Brittney Spears. Seemed beyond lame. What artist with a name like Brittney Spears was going places? Some cute LITTLE girl named Brittany Spears was going to be the new thing? The new savior of music? WTF? I don't care what kind of cute you are or what kind of T&A you throw as you get older, it ain't making for great music or great culture. Bubble Gum Pop at best..... chew on it a while, then spit it out. At least we had Madonna, Lita Ford.... mmmm, Lita Ford. It was obvious it was fabricated for marketing. It was obvious that things were over. When she became a sensation.... bringing others like her along for the ride, it was officially over. Music from that point on really just as we said in the 80s, SUCKED. Marketing before music. Sadly, it worked. For the most point, it's only gotten worse (*COUGH* Swift *COUGH*). Yeah we're swiftly heading further down into the abyss. The 50s were the revolution.... the spark. The 60s expanded on all that the 50s delivered, By the 70s, music and American youth culture were hitting their strides. The 80s were.... simply awesome (That's why being born in the late 60s was the best.... you got a great dose of both the 70s and 80s; respect to those that got the same with the 50s and 60s). The early 90s.... that was a death rattle, a last gasp before going under water. After that.... a void. The youth of today live in the void, not knowing it's full of nothingness. It's all most of them have ever known, so how could they know what those of us that came earlier do? I wish I could give it to them if only for a short time. Then again, how could they ever come back and be happy in the void? There is good music out there, but you may find yourself digging a lot to find it, and Spotify has a long way to go to really get to know me. Maybe the world will correct itself. I think all of us hold out that hope. The world moves like that. I hope I see it someday. Hey, as long Mick Jagger is still in the game, it ain't truly over yet.
I got to meet Bret last night backstage at a solo gig, what a cool dude... I knew he would be. Been a fan since I was 7 and got to meet Bret with my 7 year old son with me, great memory!
Great song...........takes me right back down " Memory Lane "..........22 years old.......my whole life ahead of me.............I`m 55 now.............where did all that time go..........🤔
I met Rikki Rocket in 1994 in Woodland Hills, Ca. I was a 17 year old working at Blockbuster Video. He had no idea that I was a freaking superfan. SOOOO down to earth. Hands down the nicest famous person I've ever met.
I can still remember the first time I heard this song in the Summer of 90' can't believe 30 plus years have gone by so quick😪 All I can say to the youngins today is take plenty of pictures and video of your youth because it goes by in a blink of an eye
Now is your chance, bro. A buddy of mine just saw 'em in Miami, 6/18/22. Said that they blow Crue and Def Leppard (no disrespect) off the stage. Poison came ready to rock and they did! \m/
Saw these guys live at the Stadium Tour with my dad because he surprised me with tickets after he said we'd be sitting in the parking lot listening to them.. this was on 8/28 BEST THING EVER
This music takes me back to the memories of my youth. Those memories are grand, indeed. Everything seemed to make sense back then. Cassette tapes, radio, MTV, and cruising town. Not a worry in the world! Nostalgia is a wound that never heals!
There may be many, many decades, but none like the 80s, with its good and bad things, that decade is unique in the history of humanity, and the music of that decade is an example of this.
even though this song is from 1990.....please god let me wake up tomorrow in 1986
Amen to that!!
Me too. I was 16 and I made the WORST mistake of my life 😢
That would be awesome I can see the new york Mets the championship again, the only way I will see another one 😆
It would be nice to go back to 1986
Let’s go. I hated school back then but . Yes please. I’ll wake up at 5 to be at school
I’m 54 years old and STUCK IN THE 80’s,and I’m NEVER comin out 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hell Yeah!

Same here rock on never stop
🤟❤️🔥Long Live the 80’s!
49yo Englishman.. I love you!!!
I don't care what anyone says, CC is an absolute monster on the guitar.
I don't care what anyone says, Poison is one of the all-time great rock bands. I love their energy, Brett's voice, CC's guitar playing, etc.
Crazy to think it was almost Slash instead of CC on guitar for Poison!

DUSTY BUTLER The M3 Festival in Columbia, MD. is absolutely insane! All of the hair bands that we loved every year in one weekend!!

Getting close to 50 years old I think it's time to bring back the crazyines of the 80s it's still somewhere
inside us
Agree, I'm game!
Iam copying your comment!!!!....to good enjoy!
Let's do it Brother....
Now you're talking😋
Give Greta Van Fleet a listen
My wife was at this concert..tells me about it every day
millennials may call us 80's burnouts, but dude we had a GREAT party for a decade!

Yes i agree with you! Would love to live a decade like the 80s! Nothing Better!
Another Millennial here 80s was definitely the best decade for music.

1 million percent!

Man, what a flood of memories this song brings back. I was 20 years old and I thought I could do anything in life.
Yes right Tuesday Thursday Friday Saturday night and beware of the big fat kitten 🐈 kat wit a baseball bat though
I was 13 or 14, but I know exactly what you mean. I still get that feeling kind of.
Same here. I was 20 or 21
same here, I was 16!
I was 6 yrs old when this came out and man loved it. Loved poison ever since
As a 62 year old dude, still love these guys! ROCK ON
I'm 90's kid. I love 80's Rock & Metal. The best era in music history for me.
Weathered eyes and gypsy smiles 💪
Thank you for liking one of the best eras of music: 81-89
If you were a teenager during this time you know how awesome these days were !
For all the flack that hairmetal bands got back in the day, Poison, Warrant, Skid Row, White Lion and others made some great music. What a great time to be alive. I miss those days but thankful I had them.
Золотые слова, друг! Я в России слушаю это и наслаждаюсь! ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm a southern rockers l like the hair bands of the 80's and 90's❤😂🎉😊
all I've got to say is best decade ever... 83-93
Absolutely. Grunge unceremoniously ended this great genre.
Yes Grunge sucks! 80s were the best!
NEIN !! 1991-1993 was the peak of Grunge.
David Harger cool time range, I can't disagree
But the last original glam wave was still kicking ass at that time. Warrant, Lynch Mob, Slaughter, Steelheart, etc...
First album I ever bought in my life when I was 14 .. I'm 41 now and it still gives me chills...
Bought it when I was 19….stilll a great album,love it
Stop it
I’m feeling my age. My first CD was Look What The Cat Dragged In.
To me Flesh and Bloods one of those very rare albums you can play start to finish and theirs no weak or record fillers its very solid, very deep, and damn sure well written and played record I've never not listened to it and played to it since it was released
Me too
We had it so good in the 80's.
That's me at 24 seconds...in the middle back peeking my 21 year old head through the front row of the crowd. Video shot in Louisville, KY...I had front row, center stage tix. I'm 44 now...been awhile but I remember them shooting the concert footage that night.
Damm in Louisville ky not far from we're I'm at. man that had to be cool, yea ol poison like the rest of the hair bands back in the late 80s kicked ass.
I was still in school 11th grade hitting them streets and hangouts. Man they was some great times
+tcartermusic Freedom Hall?
+tcartermusic You must of flipped when you saw yourself in the video the first time.
Yes sir. There was a lot more footage they took, but I'm guessing they didn't want a 20 year old dude in the front row. They wanted the hotties. :)
80's were the best, what I would give to go back.
Mate, that guitar solo from cc....it screeches!
keyratcane66 same here.
Ride the wind was 1990
R S Makes no difference awesome song.
Bro this is a 90s song
Im 53 years old and the 80’s were the best. Glory days for me
This song just sets me free. Flying where only eagles and angels dare. Lights up the soul and keeps me driving forward.
The music back then was far superior to ANYTHING that's come out since.
This is '90s music.
Your ass
There was music between 97&03?
@Bring Back 2005 you're a real idiot.
Amen
THIS SONG ALWAYS GIVES ME AN UP LIFTING FEELING. LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!
One of the best bands to come out of the 80’s!
Poison is an A-List band with zero doubt. Their list of hits and quality songs is incredible.
100%
They never should have given you internet access.

***** Hey Danny !! I´m Always seeing you at the comments of my favorite bands as well haha We must be related somehow lol we have the same taste for music haha Keep rocking my friend :)
Thwn we got married and now all we have is the music,the BeSt music..Rock on brothers.
It's still fun
Hearts of fire
Streets of stone
Modern warriors
Saddle iron horses of chrome
Taste the wild
Lick the wind
Like something they never saw before
Their jaws dropping to the floor
Steel made of soul and sin
Rebels born without a care
(And the day he listens)
Only to fly where eagles dare
And the night she whispers
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
(Ride the wind)
(Never coming back again)
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
Painted flesh
Loyalty
Humble pride
Just as far as the eye can see
Stories told
Two old friends
Of battle scars and lonely bars
And nights the rain wouldn't end
Here's to withered eyes wearing gypsy smiles
(And the day he listens)
Here's to lovely ladies and a million miles
And the night she whispers
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
(Ride the wind)
(Never coming back again)
Ride the wind
I'm still the bravest soul in sin
Burning till the night is done
Of all the truths and lies
And stories of riders in the sky
They say only the bravest try
Where eagles and angels dare to fly
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
(Ride the wind)
(Never coming back again)
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
Ride the wind
Never coming back again
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
Awesomeness 👌

@ missdarlene7 OMG What a FINE and SEXY BADASS DRUMMER too !❤Sincerely Darlene an American Girl who has a thing for drummers ❤❤❤
So psyched to see this in their setlist for the Stadium Tour. I've never seen them in concert before and this is my favorite song of theirs 💚🤘🖤
My son is there at the stadium in Orlando. Poison just sang this song.
They just rocked Miami!!!
Just played in Milwaukee!!
Poison, Def Leppard and Joan Jett were excellent
Finally, after 2+ years and multiple reschedules, we caught 'em in Hershey, PA.
Of course, Mother Nature wanted to make her presence known. Wicked storm rolled in and, fortunately, kept on rollin'. One hour delay, standing with the rest of the herd. All soaked to the bone.
But it fired off and no one gave a flip about their soggy asses.
Poison delivered with DL a close 2nd. Vince Neil didn't bring it(my opinion,only).
Great concert, no question.
A lot of people laugh when you mention Hair Bands. Bands like Poison, Ratt, etc, had amazing talent. Not to mention that they were actually playing as a band & playing instruments, not like now. The present music scene is pathetic. \M/etal Rules!!!
Yes please!!
"Hair Bands" or "Glam Rock" are terrible adjectives for these amazing bands, they combined Heavy metal + Hard Rock + a little bit of punk and pop, they are great musicians, trained vocalists and wrote some of the best songs of the 80´s and part of the 90´s, people that laugh are people with no musical knowledge probably listening to Regueton today!
@@robertodelcastillo9949 bingo.
C.C. DeVille is seriously underrated
The fact that they would just respectfully call them hair bands says a lot
I grew up in this era. I like a lot of new music, but this music was so much more fun
This music will always be popular
This song is an awesome song I lost a very close friend to a motorcycle accident, the song talks of Angels & riding the wind !!
Godspeed brother 🙏🙏
🙏🏻💯
Just came back from a motorbike ride 'gentlemen's ride' today. Was awesome. This Song always stuck with me. I hear it in my head sometimes when i ride 😁👍 glory days
I'm only 13, but it seems as if back then they had way better music than us
+wildthang32 I lived it. It was great and we took it for granted. Really miss those days
+ Candi Renee - Me too !!!
+candi renee yes we did....we were the last generation before they took all it all away
I'm only 55 and you're right!
glad to hear that, yes that's the ftrm belief of many of us. much better music writing the whole thing. i mostly listen stuff from back in the day. no offense it is refreshing to hear that from perspective of this generation. i have very wide range, a lot of music i like goes all wayback to fifties and sixties. whole different world, swhole different time. follow yer heart wildthang, you'llfind your groove. on final note think that most, not all. but most of "music" today sucks. it's synthesized pulled sample for other songs some of these "artists" don't even know how to play any instrument.....sad. just waned to reach out and say you're not alone. ours really was a rockin era
If you werent there in the 80s you will never understand how awesome it was. Nothing after it even comes close accept maybe the early 90s up to like 92.
Growing up I wished I’d experienced the 60’s, now I know, the 80’s and 90’s were the real time to grow up! I’d love to go back and do it all over again just like I did the first time. I wouldn’t change anything.
One of my favorite Poison songs. Can't wait to see them live again.
Darrell, this is forever your song now bro. We rode the wind, and tried where only the angels dared to fly. You've been with them for over 20 years now and I know, you've kept me from joining you too many times since then.,
it's good to remember good times coz you never get it back keep the memories close to your heart chin up mate
Not sure why I didn't before but I wanted to thank you for the kind words.
RowdyRodimus no problem mate music helps to deal with grief better than any therapy and is a good prompt for special memories
What a time to be a fan of musicians that could actually play their instruments!
The best part of growing in the 80's is that there is no recordings of the stupid shit you've done, just memories and skeletons in the closet.
The 80"s and 90"s music will always be unique. The music, the lyrics, the atmosphere, something that can not be describe with words.
Love this song, seen Poison 3 times back in the day!
Back when things were fun, always will I praise god he let me grow up in the 80s and early 90s..
Bowing down before the lord..
Was a teenager in 1985, Those were the best years, The 80's, How I miss the music! !
The best era of rock music.. Really miss those golden days.
I was at this concert at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit Michigan. Some of this video was filmed here. Awesome show with Warrant opening for Poison.
I'm so glad this type of music is starting to make a comeback.
Jake Jake Is it?
It is slowly coming back with bands like Greta Van Fleet....
I just hope it truly sounds like the real 80s rock, and not some of these new acts that seem to try too hard to do so yet fail.
Not really. I would say around 2004 it got a resurgence when some of these bands were back at arena tours instead of clubs like in the 90s. It has fairly been level since it seems .
Check also The Darkness, they are my favourite nowadays
80's rock is great!
+Josh Armoogam One minor detail here. This single(and album) was released in 1990(single in 1991) but still had the 80's vibe. I was a 1st year college student when this was released and that was the 1990-91 academic year.
+John Paulson You could make an argument the "80's" sound didn't die off till 91-92 when Nirvana came on the scene
Even though the Album was released in 1990 there is a strong chance it was recorded in 1989 as well as parts of 1990 and the 1st year or 2 of a new decade almost ALWAYS sound like the last year of the previous decade as albums for that frame were recorded in the previous year.
@Kelski1998 well duh culture doesn't change overnight. The start of the 90's was no different to the late 80's.
I was not born in the 80s but I got a story about this song
so when I was in middle school I use to get bullied a lot and I remember one day coming home crying and the tv was on with this song and i was listing, to this song and something told me everything gonna be alright, and man that feeling did come true and now I'm living my best life.
Sigh... greatest times ever!!! My son's first concert was at 10 yo and we took him to see Poison and Def Leppard followed the next weekend with Motley Crue...he is now 26...and fronts his own rock band...ol little did I know lol
Poison will never die! Their concerts are still awesome
if you cry when you hear this song you remember these days
I think you might be gayer than me.
@@andrewvincent5472 lol!!! And me?! 🤘
@@andrewvincent5472 or as gay as the Rock....LOL
@@andrewvincent5472 the truly gay ones are the ones who don't like this awesome music.

The 80s were.... truly.... awesome. I lived it. First half high school, last half college. I was an old school head banger. Back when you were a geek if your hair didn't touch your shoulders. But, I also remember the 70s. That's when as a kid I first started listening to music. When I was first learning to play the guitar and drums. Around third grade. I am an 80s guy, but I have to give the 70s it's dues. It was probably the greatest musical era. Think of all that was going on in the 70s. Started with the 60s still present. The Doors LA Woman.... one of my favorite albums. Then you had, Motown, Punk, Disco, Folk (Think guys like Jim Croce and Gordan Lightfoot), Pop (when it was great), Country was still rolling along (Think about Kenny Rogers, and Alabama), and ROCK. Real Rock. Arena Rock.... Sabbath, Zepplin, Motorhead, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Queen, AC/DC and so many more that set the stage for the 80s. The 70s were a great time to be alive. War was over and people were returning to just living their lives and enjoying it no matter what was happening in the world. It was the age of getting wild and letting it "all hang out." Hell, even the older crowd was partying with a bit of "who cares" attitude (Swinging and Snorting). This carried over into the 80s as the new decade defined itself, but the two are undoubtedly linked together. The 50s were a cultural revolution. When some people dared to break away and be different. Elvis set it all off, and the 50s had to be great. The 60s expanded on this early on, and the experiences of many in the 50s (The Beats) expanded as America faced obstacles. The 60s changed music and culture (The Counter Culture) like no other time in America. I can't say the 60s had to be all fun (the man was forever on your ass and oh, you could be drafted and shipped off to jungle to die halfway around the world), but they were fighting to make it so, even as a war raged on and they were at odds with much of society. If you lived through the 60s as an American youth, you had to be alive. and feel it every moment. More so than any time in the post WWII era. The music certainly reflected this. New ideas of how and what music should be. And so much exploration by bands. The Beatles, The Stones, The Doors, even the Beach Boys (Pet Sounds). They were all on a quest to revolutionize the culture of the youth, and they did. This change would resonate for years in the 70s and 80s. Then came the 90s. I was a grad student. The first time I saw Nirvana on MTv, I thought.... WTF? They looked like they had crawled out of the gutter... I mean literally. Long hair is one thing, but unwashed.... ungroomed long hair? Yuck. Just a GRUNGY lot you wouldn't really want to party with. The music was novel as well. Not particularly skilled or complex. Simple cords, over and over and over It did have a rawness, and I came to appreciate that on a certain level. If nothing else, it still had some soul. The times were changing, and the music reflected that. The early 90s were pretty bleak for the youth of America. Economically it was a hard time to be getting out of college or trying to start out on your own from high school. Somehow, songs like "Nothing but a Good Time" just weren't working at that moment when in reality, good times were getting hard to come by. It was too depressing of a time, and grunge reflected that. But it was just too damn depressing on top of an already too depressing world around you. I've always said that this is why grunge faded quickly. At some point.... relatively quickly.... we wanted to stop listening and do what Bobby McFarren implored us to do a few years earlier.... Don't worry, Be Happy. Music seemed to.... fizzle. There were tunes, but you just knew none of it was going to stick around. The last half of the 90s had a spark here and there (I rather liked Fuel and even Creed for example), but it wasn't the same as what had been the 80s and before. When did I know it was over? Two events. I got into my car and turned on the radio to hear.... Hanson.... M'Bop.... some kind of crap. I sat there a bit stunned and thought, "Yeah, were going downhill fast." Then a short time later, I'm in a discount store just walking through when I saw a huge promotion for some teenie-bopper in pink sitting with her knees mashed together. Some little thing called Brittney Spears. Seemed beyond lame. What artist with a name like Brittney Spears was going places? Some cute LITTLE girl named Brittany Spears was going to be the new thing? The new savior of music? WTF? I don't care what kind of cute you are or what kind of T&A you throw as you get older, it ain't making for great music or great culture. Bubble Gum Pop at best..... chew on it a while, then spit it out. At least we had Madonna, Lita Ford.... mmmm, Lita Ford. It was obvious it was fabricated for marketing. It was obvious that things were over. When she became a sensation.... bringing others like her along for the ride, it was officially over. Music from that point on really just as we said in the 80s, SUCKED. Marketing before music. Sadly, it worked. For the most point, it's only gotten worse (*COUGH* Swift *COUGH*). Yeah we're swiftly heading further down into the abyss. The 50s were the revolution.... the spark. The 60s expanded on all that the 50s delivered, By the 70s, music and American youth culture were hitting their strides. The 80s were.... simply awesome (That's why being born in the late 60s was the best.... you got a great dose of both the 70s and 80s; respect to those that got the same with the 50s and 60s). The early 90s.... that was a death rattle, a last gasp before going under water. After that.... a void. The youth of today live in the void, not knowing it's full of nothingness. It's all most of them have ever known, so how could they know what those of us that came earlier do? I wish I could give it to them if only for a short time. Then again, how could they ever come back and be happy in the void? There is good music out there, but you may find yourself digging a lot to find it, and Spotify has a long way to go to really get to know me. Maybe the world will correct itself. I think all of us hold out that hope. The world moves like that. I hope I see it someday. Hey, as long Mick Jagger is still in the game, it ain't truly over yet.
the concerts were awesome!!! nothing like it today. The fans of then, knows this! Rock on!
Seems like these guys really had fun back in the day.
These songs make me feel so much alive..80's had great music..
I'm 14 and I wish I could ride the wind back in time to 1978-1992!
So many memories of this song and band.....to be able to go back to those days.....I would be the happiest person in the world.
I wish I had a time machine and it would be ok if it only went back to the 80s! I miss it so much!
I got to meet Bret last night backstage at a solo gig, what a cool dude... I knew he would be. Been a fan since I was 7 and got to meet Bret with my 7 year old son with me, great memory!
Remembering the good times and GREAT music of the 80's! Saw Poison in concern in Seattle with my best friend Jodi!
this takes me to my childhood and lifts my spirits...i wish i was back there, cc ripping on the guitar and brett thrashing the vocals out 💙
Cc screeches out the rift ❤
Great song...........takes me right back down " Memory Lane "..........22 years old.......my whole life ahead of me.............I`m 55 now.............where did all that time go..........🤔
I met Rikki Rocket in 1994 in Woodland Hills, Ca. I was a 17 year old working at Blockbuster Video. He had no idea that I was a freaking superfan. SOOOO down to earth. Hands down the nicest famous person I've ever met.
This brings back so many memories. I was like 7 when this came out. My older brothers and sisters would play it, and I would rock out. Love Poison!
yeah it brings back memories. I was at the concert
I was 17, listened to this album so much back in 1991. Man…
One of my favorite poison songs
I can still remember the first time I heard this song in the Summer of 90' can't believe 30 plus years have gone by so quick😪 All I can say to the youngins today is take plenty of pictures and video of your youth because it goes by in a blink of an eye
POISON still rocks for me. I hope they come back!
They are touring this summer. I have Tix to see them with motley Crue, def Leppard and Joan jett.
Now is your chance, bro. A buddy of mine just saw 'em in Miami, 6/18/22. Said that they blow Crue and Def Leppard (no disrespect) off the stage. Poison came ready to rock and they did! \m/
Still one of my very fave Poison songs!!!!! Love Brett Michaels!!!!!
We lived in a generation of great music. Loved it
These were incredible days with equally incredible music, so glad i grew up then and got to live it all.
80's and MTV. Yes i miss them
I AM SO GLAD WE WERE THE FORTUNATE ONES ABLE TO LIVE IT THROUGH!!!!!
Amen
The best theme for riding a motorcycle! Greetings from Venezuela
When I was a teenager Poison's greatest hits had to be one of my most played albums, this classic was on there and it rocked!
I was born in 2006 but I love the 80s from all this rock
we had a great time, miss those days so much!
Saw poison in the 90s and last year on the stadium tour. Still great music.
Saw these guys live at the Stadium Tour with my dad because he surprised me with tickets after he said we'd be sitting in the parking lot listening to them.. this was on 8/28 BEST THING EVER
Yes definitely did have awsome music back then!!!!
Masterpiece track off a monumental 80's album.
THE 80s WERE THE SHIT THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE I WAS AT THE CONCERT THIS VIDEO WAS MADE IT WAS IN 90 AT JOE LOUIS ARENA DETROIT DAMN MICHIGAN
This album came out in June of 1990. I bought this back then.
Back then we had it ALL it seemed like. Many Many fond memories.
Now some will understand WHY The 80s & Ealier 90s Was The BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 70’s had the best music 😊
This music takes me back to the memories of my youth. Those memories are grand, indeed. Everything seemed to make sense back then. Cassette tapes, radio, MTV, and cruising town. Not a worry in the world! Nostalgia is a wound that never heals!
So very true, and us guys had to get into these groups, because the girls absolutely loved them.
every time I hear this song it just makes me feel happy
There may be many, many decades, but none like the 80s, with its good and bad things, that decade is unique in the history of humanity, and the music of that decade is an example of this.
poison at their absolute best. what a chorus
Yesss Fred!
Music is nothing the same. And their singers don't hold a candle to or singers looks. AMEN !!
Love Poison...have their logo tatted on the back of my neck! This tour was a drunken mess of awesomeness!!!
Mary Celeste Williams. it sure WAS
obviously drunk, that's not a sober decision
Love listening to this riding my bike.
fucking right on!
13 year old me jamming out to this on the bus with my Walkman. Was a lonely teenager and this song helped me get thru
Damn, look at that energy in that arena. Poison was huge.
