If you think Native Tongue didn't do well because of Richie Kotzen, you are an idiot. It didn't do well because hair bands didn't sell worth a shit in 1993, idiot. Go away. And take your lack of taste with you.
Good song for sure, but to say he made Poison is absolutely ridiculous. Poison was established way before this guys cock almost ruined the band. Oh by the way I think Poison is gonna be just fine touring with Def Leppard this summer in stadiums and ampitheatres. Not, hole in the wall bars
he was kicked out from poison coz he slept wid vocalist's fiancee i think.. then he went to mr. big... both bands were great, and its because of ritchie! love this guy..
It was the drummers ex-fiance. And they did it on the tourbus and the rest of the band walked in on them. Fucking pig. I have been a fan of Poison for 19 years and it is NOT because of Ritchie they are that big. That is actually the album that has sold the least of all albums they have made. Says alot about Ritchie, doesn't it?
yes it says that people on the early 90 prefer power cords and mediocre solos, than a amazing guitar playing... And poison went down like all the other bands that were buried by grunge...
you was talking about album sales, concerts and album sales are two very different thinks. So kotzen being in poison is not the factor for the lowest sales of "native tongue", the tendency on the buying market changed dramatically on the early 90, that was my point... and other thing festivals and one band concert are different things two...
I WAS THERE....and so many people were there also because of def leppard whitesnake gotthard ecc ecc...i love poison, they wrote amazing songs,but they are not in the same league of kotzen..he's absolutely one of the most talented musician ever..native tongue is a HUGE album...alot better recorded and played than anything poison did before and richie who was just 21 led them to become a better band
Then please enlighten me. How come Native Tongue is the worst selling album in all of Poison's history? It did well in UK, but nowhere else in Europe, and not in the states either.
I am glad they got rid of him. He ruined the band.
simply because it came out in 1992/93..the worst time ever for this kind of music...if you can't notice the HUGE talent of mr kotzen it's just your fault
Because the USA is the most commercial following bunch of music sheeple, very easily lead bunch of music listeners in the world.
Richie Kotzen has a bigger following everywhere else in the world, but not here... because he isn't on MTV/VH1/Top-40
American take what record companies shove out there and "Like It"... there is a small percentage who shut off the Top-40 and all the Pop-Crap and actually LISTEN to the music...
@swedess Richie Kotzen was a fucking atom bomb in a group of water balloons. PLEASE, those 3 mongoloids in that band couldnt kiss RIchie's ass with 20 sets of lips and a road map directing them. Best album they ever did. PERIOD
Thanks! I've been wanting Richie to do this song for ages. Poison version sucks! I've posted a live of Richie covering Sara Smile if anyone's interested ;)
I guess the only one that sucks are you callmepop4444244, poison`s version including richie kotzen playing the guitar is excellent too, and the solo here is really missing in this version
RIchie Kotzen playing guitar for Poison was like bringing a fucking takn to a slapfight. Simply the best there is.

Pero la versión de Poison la grabó y la compuso Richie, así que realmente no ha perdido nada, simplemente es una versión semi-acústica.
