Just a clip from an interview by MuchMusic’s Steve Anthony. I didn’t catch the full show at the time, so I recorded the interview clips whenever they were re-run.
In this clip, a hyper Bret Michaels of Poison talks about inspiration for his music and the audience response.

She goes down slow like a shot of gin
She’s got an angel’s face and a devil’s grin
She kinda stared me down as I looked her up
She said, “I’m your poison, now you drink a cup”
In the heat of the night is when she comes alive
She’s gonna push you, push you ’til she’s satisfied
I watch the ice melt fast on her red hot lips
She whispers, “If you wanna taste my love
Why don’t you swallow this”
Brilliant!

Open Up reeks of the 80’s. The whole thing is a Glam Metal blueprint on Hair Metal…rockers ballads mid tempo action …

I have to share this story. I know someone whose mother cancelled their cable subscription back in the ’80s because her son was watching MTV and she was found some of the content objectionable. The offending video? “Every Rose Has Its Thorn”. She cancelled it because she thought the model sleeping next to Bret Michaels in the beginning of the video was a man. I think it’s funny that Poison caused her to give up on western culture.
