Poison, an American glam metal band formed in 1983 in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, skyrocketed to fame during the mid-1980s and has since established themselves as one of the iconic groups of the hair metal era. The band's classic lineup consists of lead vocalist Bret Michaels, guitarist C.C. DeVille, bassist Bobby Dall, and drummer Rikki Rockett. Poison's style, marked by their wild, party-centric anthems, flamboyant fashion, and over-the-top music videos, became synonymous with the exuberant rock n' roll lifestyle of the time.

The band released their debut album, "Look What the Cat Dragged In," in 1986, which included major hits like "Talk Dirty to Me" and catapulted them to stardom. Their follow-up, "Open Up and Say... Ahh!", solidified their place in rock history with the chart-topping single "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." Over the years, Poison has continued to entertain fans with both their music and energetic live performances. Despite experiencing the typical ebbs and flows of rock stardom, including lineup changes and personal challenges, Poison has remained a beloved staple in the rock scene, with an impressive discography that includes multi-platinum records, sold-out tours, and a legacy of being the ultimate purveyors of the good-time rock n' roll spirit.
