i paid money for a Poison album just to annoy my mum

If Rock and Roll doesn't annoy your mum, you're not doing it right   ;D

At least calling themselves "Poison" wasn't false advertising.  :P

As much as I despise Poison and that whole genre (looking at you Motley Crue), Bret Michaels and the boys put on a pretty good show.  High energy, lots of hot girls bouncing to the music and a solid two hour set.  I was surprised.  Two things to note, 1) I was there with a hot chick, which explains my presence and 2) it was the 80's.

whatever faults you might have with most of the 80s LA metal bands, you can't deny those guys worked their asses off on stage.  I saw Quiet Riot at a crappy club in Raleigh in '93 that wasn't even half-full, and those guys put on a show worthy of an arena.

Love 'em or hate 'em, Tom Morello gave KISS the hands-down best RnRHoF Induction Speech of all time
