Poison was formed in 1983 under the name Paris and consisted of lead vocalist Bret Michaels, guitarist Matt Smith, bassist Bobby Dall, and drummer Rikki Rockett. Moving to Los Angeles on March 6, 1984, they started playing big clubs and several other clubs. The name Poison was picked by the band after seeing Spinal Tap.During this period, Poison's manager negotiated a deal under which the West Hollywood club, The Troubador, would pay for shows. At this time, Smith left the band to return home to Pennsylvania, which led to an audition session that was won by C.C. DeVille.Their debut album, Look What the Cat Dragged In, was released August 2, 1986. This album is a classic of that gerne of Glam/Hair metal. The music? Fun, sex, party all night and again sex!! Tons of hair spray, lipstick and glamy clothes and of course attitude. Some catchy as hell songs, a couple of video clips in the MTV were enough to made Poison a new shining star in the U.S. For me this album has a special place in my heart. An ass-kickin' album from Poison and a must have!!!!
