Before singer Bret Michaels and guitarist C.C. DeVille of the band Poison appeared on VH1 reality shows, they wrote hits like "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," which defined the late '80s melodic hard rock period and contributed to the band's sales of over 25 million albums worldwide.
David Bowie did it. Then KISS and Motley Crue, but by the time Poison jumped on the rock and roll hair-and-makeup train in the mid-1980s the MTV "hair metal" era had officially begun. Poison defined it.
In the summer of 2009, Poison embarked on a U.S. tour with Def Leppard and Cheap Trick. http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/03/05/how-def-leppard-and-poison-mended-fences-for-summer-tour/
