I love Poison, with Warrant, Danger Danger, Tuff... they did authentic party rock!!!
I have all their albums until Crack a smile with Blues Saraceno.
In the past my favourite album was "Open Up", all the songs are perfect, but today I prefer the "Native Tongue" a cd with Kotzen. Is more mature and the guitar sound is amazing, even, the look is more serious...The sound is less "glam for teen" and more rock blues, a sound more raw, with this cd, they adapted his sound to the 90's, but!!, this cd Isn't Poison, is Kotzen with Poison.
By the way, I remember that in a magazine CC was considered the worst guitarrist on world...
I like CC for a glam band, he gets a funny sound, but Blues Saraceno or Ritchie Kotzen are virtuous guitars.
Sadly, the band fired up to Ritchie Kotzen (great song writer, great guitar, and great voice, better than Brett), but actually Poison is a Glam Band and they needs to CC. The people who goes to the Poison concert want" Talk dirty to me", not the "Native Tongue" songs.
