  • CC RULES ! THEY OWE HIM EVERYTHING IMHO ! KICK ASS BRO , AL / NYC / L.A. / VEGAS , I WAS THERE THRU THE 80'S , THEY ROCKED

  • poison is poison and besides mistakes are made everyone heavy metal is like that drunk,sex heavy metal and thats the attitude sometimes we cannot control so really heavy metal lovers could understand this.posers would criticized.

  • They got into a huge brawl backstage after this was over. You can see why...

  • why the big fight? It sounded pretty awesome. yeah he accidentally had his guitar unplug, but that's a good thing...shows they're truly playing live and not lip synching. Yeah, he played the wrong song, but it's not like Bret didn't ask for it by saying "you ready to talk dirty to me", and considering that's there main song, they were ready to play it.

    CC's solo was fine. This is called "real rocknroll" it's suppose to be chaos.

  • @JanetEsq yes

  • Hehe, C.C.'s awesome -3 -3 -3

  • Is the performance where Brett and CC got into a fist fight after?

  • @JanetEsq yes

  • @JanetEsq Yep

  • what kind of les paul is cc using?

  • the tempo slowsss waaaaayy doooooooooooooown.............

  • Considering how fucked up they were that day according to Bret, I still give this performance a pass. Not really that horrible.

  • Lol C.C. played the wrong song XD

  • America needs to bring hard rock back.. who doesnnt love the guitar solos and long hair. GIVE METAL A CHANCE

  • @beastlyboy12309 poison isn't hard rock, they're glam

  • damn...never realized cc could be was that bad those days.....stay clean dumbass

  • En el estado de drogas de C.C Nadie podria tocar!

  • pink hair btch lmao

  • wow. this live really SUCKS

  • @JamKiller94 look this up. Its the "mess up" and for cc being wasted its not that bad. I think its said to be so bad but not that bad idk

  • Behind the Music made this out like it was a total disaster but it wasn't that bad, C.C is not playing at his best for sure but to get kicked out of the band? It wasn't that bad..Glad it don't matter now, Poison sounds great live in 2010!!!

  • despite of mistakes, that was a great performance, after cc was kicked out just for turn his hair pink

  • CC's hair is great haha. Love these guys, it's good that CC managed to pick himself up from all the drug abuse.

  • Hehe, his hair's pink and fluffy.... >_> <_<

  • @foryp3 The story I've heard is that they were supposed to play Unskinny Bop before the commercial break. When it became apparent CC didn't know/remember the song during the break they decided what song to do instead. At least that's the story I've heard.

  • is the the one where c.c. suposed to play unskinny bop?

  • @scorpio10mj Yes, this is that performance. After they got off stage he and Bret had a fight.

  • atta boy cc hahaha

  • Although C.C messed it up they continued like nothing was wrong. And they did awesome

  • i hate those clowns!

  • This is when they were breaking up and c.c was pissin off the whole band

  • NO. during the commercial break they played unskinney bop, then once they got back they played talk dirty to me. so they played then cc messed up, then they got off staged and they beat the shit out of eachother.

  • y is CC using a wired guitar...its a big stage and if it wasnt wired how the hell did it come unplugged

  • @kushal73 no cc was messin up on purpose like i said on my other comment this is when there was tension between cc and the band and shortly after his bad performance he was kicked out

  • cc is too high to understand what the hell he's doing

  • mjw9363, ok poison gets more pussy, money, fans then u ever will in ur life. and they have more skill then u.

  • where was the fuckup

  • @kushal73 CC's guitar becomes unplugged around 2:30 and he completed messed up the solo. Bret said that they were suppose to play Unskinny Bop but durring the commercial break he started playing Talk Dirty to Me so they ended up playing that

  • this is wen bret and c.c got in a fist fight. caz c.c guitar waz not tuned right and he waz a half step down. o and he missed the solo

  • @MrTallica4lyfe Poison always plays a half step down

  • sorry but this is fucking shit. a band that was definitely on its way out at the time just as nirvana was to arrive and kick everyone in the ass. this performance is one of the reasons hair metal needed to go for good.

  • @thevoid99 agreed, men needed to be dirty, not all glitzy and clean....

  • @randommoosebrains so you like dirty men...

  • @OriginalMishima so you like clean men???

  • @randommoosebrains You take time to have an opinion and Ideal for what condition you think men should be in, dirty. People could perceive that as a covert homosexual incentive on your part.

  • @OriginalMishima true, I guess you could say people will misunderstand my comment. I guess what I truly meant to say is that glam metal came and went, grunge came and went, and whatever is in now will come and go.....just a continuous cycle of music...

  • Great song!!

  • This just proves this is the WORST band of all times...what a fucking JOKE this bubblegum rudimentary "rock"....you fuckers need to grow up and admit the bubblegum band youl iked when you where a kid was just simply LAME..God Damn this sucks!! Grow up and look at AC/DC live or Led Zeppelin..it's like men vs. BOYS....Fuck this "band" is so AWFUL!!!....what latent homosexual crap and your a fag no doubt if you go for this CRAP..what a LAME solo man!! I played better than that at 9 years old

  • I love this video hahahaha

  • He missed the solo

  • @Izzythebrit He missed the life.

  • @leukkemiaa why?? i mean... why? ^^

  • @Izzythebrit "Missed the solo" solos can change,man...

    and this is f´n awesome

  • @Izzythebrit no he didnt??? 3:00

  • @Izzythebrit He didn't miss the solo *that* bad. Everything else, yeah.

  • Poison feud at Vmas

  • im mean that didnt sound that bad or did it like bret said thats rock n roll

  • Ya the solo is more towards the 2 mintue mark but they missed it and went to the next verse then played it a minute later

  • "It's Not Perfect, But It's Rock N' Roll"

  • C.C was so high here... they fired him after this :/

  • CC fucked this show up SOOOOOO bad

  • ouch so many times.......

  • Where's the full video of this????? I wanna see the one where they start Unskinny Bop and C.C. can't play it

  • en ese tiempo las guitarras no eran inalámbricas y CC sin querer desconecta la suya con el pie 2:32

    in that time guitarrs wasn`t wireless, so CC accidentally unplugged his (2:33)

  • CC drops his pick @ 2:33 of this video.

  • @wwwJimmyJamesca No the cable to his guitar fell out. Bret said it on behind the music.

  • @wwwJimmyJamesca he doesnt drop his pick..his guitar cable comes unplugged , he could have still played without a pick ...

  • Bret and C.C. got in a fist fight right after this gig which led to C.C. being fired from the band. They were suppose to play a totally different song but C.C. was so fucked up, he just started playin this song instead. They were unprepared...thats why it sounded so shitty.

  • terrible

  • Oh boy this was so bad, ouch.

  • ese koncierto fue legendario jajaj se vOlo nOc kuantas kuerditas CC deville jajaj los evectos de la cocaina px perO = da es Poison carajOoO

  • where is the unedited

  • C.C so drunk or something =D

  • jajajaja yo me akuerdo ese concierto A CC se le rompio una cuerda jajaja k feO desafinaba

  • C.C was so drugged up then. they wernt even suppose to play that!!!

  • Bret is so professional in this - the band sounds like shit, but they did the best they could do with it. Bret, he gave the people what they wanted, and that's what he's supposed to do. Even with all that going on, he rocked the house. Like when us normal people are at work and get pissed, we have to keep doing our jobs, that's what Bret did. I'm proud of him.

  • @conniebky I didn't think this part was bad at all...it actually was kinda cool when CC dropped the pic and it was like sing along! I really didn't hear anything terrible in this....this is prob the edited version but to say THIS song was done poorly is kindof wierd...

  • Comment removed

  • This was funny.

  • when bret sais you ready to talk dirty to me you can see the drummers face Rikki Rocket go like what the hell is goin on

  • I'll say this, C.C. can shred it up when he's trashed

  • This video may be the single biggest testament to Richie Kotzen's talent - and that's saying a mouthful.

  • Bret doesn´t looks angry.... he only said "came on" in a friendly way when cc come unplugged.

  • @Fox347 Yeah, I don't think he even said 'come on' to CC. I think it was to the audience!

  • you can see him come unplugged at 2:32

    that's what made Bret kick jis ass backstage and knock out some of CC's teeth

  • cc was high as hell and he messed up like 10 times in the first min

  • WIKIPEDIA: At the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards, DeVille turned in a disastrous performance when his guitar became unplugged and he appeared to change the song choice mid-performance. Immediately following the performance, DeVille and Michaels were involved in a fist-fight backstage. DeVille departed the band Poison as a result of the physical altercation. (but i swear this is not the same performance) "he appeared to change the song choice mid-performance" I can't tell???

  • yeh listen to like 2 mins something he changes kinda of the rythm

  • This isn't the full video. They started playing "Unskinny Bop." The video picks up at the point of abortion.

  • @TEMPmichaelhansen

    the wiki entry is half right. what happened is they started playing the song they were meant to play (Unskinny Bop) but they started during a comercial break. So they stopped which is what you see at the begining of this video (them screwing around) Then (technically mid-performance) brett says "talk dirty to me" which is a song C.C. wrote, plus he was so high that he probably just registered that as what song to play, hence we have this jewel of a performance.

  • 100 % correct.

    This also when they had that huge fist fight backstage and called it quits.

  • I don't get the conspiracy. Bret clearly says "are you ready to talk dirty to me?" stating that was the song they were going to play and just like the recorded version says "hit it C.C.!" I'm not arguing with I just really want to know. If they were supposed to play Unskinny Bop why did Bret say all that?

  • Yeah...it was a weird situation but the great thing is we don't have to make it a conspiracy and guess about it. Brett Michaels tells the full story on his VH1 Behind The Music. He talks about the song mix-up and the huge fight they had afterwords. Check it out if you get a chance.

  • its called "editted for TV" .. if you watch Behind the Music you see the full live version of what happened.

  • now that i have watched the whole thing, aside from a few mistakes, this isnt that bad. so what he dropped a pick, maybe i need to watch a few times. YOU CANT HEAR THE BASS GUITAR on here i swear

  • you can deff hear the bass

  • This is embarrassingly bad, dude.

  • there was once a tv show on VH1 (I think) where they discuss bab moments in rock. There was one where Poison did this song, and CC played it wrong. The opening riff? the solo? is this the wrong version of it?

  • яуза!

  • Can you say train wreck?

  • dam cc was high...

  • :21 I am a bird

  • Comment removed

  • Cocaine is a heluva drug.

    This is the performance that basically destroyed Poison. CC was so completely fucked up during their set that he couldn't even play it correctly.

  • Isn't this the video that caused the breakup of poison?

  • Not the breakup but the firing of C.C

  • YEAHHHHH

    MTV Video Music Awards 1991 unskinny bop .. Nomine Billboard 1990

    POISON POISON POISON

    THE BEST BAND glam rock hard rock

  • esto es rock!!!...pelatela moderasco

  • Accidents happen when you use an Effect rack like that... It's normal. Great CC !!!!

    Awesome band !

  • @TheCountxx Effect rack? a cocaine truck dude! cc was too high!

  • only see the face of rikki at begin of the song jajaja

  • I love poison 

  • 2:30...

  • lmao. ur retarded.

  • this was cc's last performance with poison. from wikipedia At the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards, DeVille turned in a disastrous performance when his guitar became unplugged and he appeared to change the song choice mid-performance. Immediately following the performance, DeVille and Michaels were involved in a fist-fight backstage. DeVille departed the band Poison as a result of the physical altercation.

  • if that was the case why did Bret say "Are you ready to talk dirty to me"?

  • 2 mistakes for C.C

  • ......2 mistakes....but he has AWESOME HAIR

  • Them playing this was be acciedent. C.C played the wrong song. he was supposed to play unskinny bop

  • What's the name of the song they were singing before they played talk dirty to me?

  • Let it Play

  • What kind of accent does Bret have?

  • Looks like they wanted to play "Talk Dirty". were they supposed to play another song? When this story is told, it sounds like they meant to play something else, but Bret didn't introduce the song like that.

  • lol his chord fell out bb girl ilu always n 4ever

  • ?. I think you meant to reply to someone else.

  • WTF from 2:30 to 2:40 ???

    is this the live performance at mtv awards in 1991 ??

  • CC's guitar came unplugged. He was quite hammered being that he also started playing the wrong song and with the show airing live, the band had to go with it.

  • Yes it is.

  • C.C. was pissed off at michaels at the time and this was the his last performance before he quit the band.

  • why were they pissed off at each other?

  • salary dispute

  • Love the Energy ! Fucking Poison Rocked and still do !

  • cc was fucked

  • terrible sound is so low can't hear it!!!

  • Is this the performance where Brett says CC was so drunk that he played the wrong song but they all went with it anyway?

  • i don't think so... that was another MTV gig...

  • c.cs guitar came unplugged that sucks but he still kicks so much ass

  • um yeah cant hear the song, but who cares, love bret micheals, hes hot, and hey who hasnt done drugs?lol

  • even though cc was totally wrecked during this performance he still played pretty damn good and still shreded the shit out of that guitar

  • they were about to play let it play not unskinny bop...thats the intro to let it play...and yes i beleive the were cooked out of there mind...but come on that when poisons at there best lmao

  • first he plays the wrong song, then he steps on his cable and pulls it out of the guitar... You can even see him bending to pick it up. Man, this whole performance blew! That's not me being a douche, the whole band agrees with me. They were coked out of their minds, especially C.C. And, yes, Unskinny bop was supposed to be played. Brett just recognized C.C.'s live intro solo to TDTM and knew what was coming.

  • u fantasize too much. lol. you probably didn't hear Bret calling out "You ready to TDTM?" before C.C. starts the riff.

  • gotta luv the 80s glam

  • Sounds to me like Brett says "You ready to talk dirty to me?" before C.C. is even playing that song. I don't hear CC playing it first. Sorry.

  • ... That's the point.....?

  • yeah either do i

  • they started playing "unskinny bop" and DeVille was all over the place, pretty much playing a totally different song. They had to scramble to pull it together....cocaine is a helluva drug.

  • ''kind of hard to play while on cocaine or any kind o drug''... I can't play 2 notes in a row when I'm drunk hahahahah

  • Comment removed

  • btw....badass hair and thrilling guitar....

  • you guys chill C.C. Deville Is not the best guitar player alive but he gets job done and furthurmore it was the 80s the hair and looks were everything....plus i read somewhere that during this show he was on cocaine or some drug....kind of hard to play while on cocaine or any kind o drug..

  • Isn't this the big point in Poison's career were Bret and CC got in a big fight after this show and CC left the band til 1999? That video wasn't the best of quality but the song didn't sound all that band, I though CC started playing the wrong song or some shit? Was that the all the footage? The crowd seemed into it, what was the problem???

  • lame

  • The Guitar Stops at 2:30 Cause C.C Steped on His Lead And Pulled It Out Lmao... GOTA LOVE CC :)

  • wasnt it something similar where he played without his guitar plugged in, and was so wasted he didnt even notice, and thats why they fired him?

    thats what i remember, anyway, from when i was young man, and poison were still cool.

    not that this aint cool now, but you know what i mean

  • C.C. DeVille...

    after Slash for me he is the best!!!

  • never rated him.

    his solos are made up, which is the easiest way to do it. just know a few scales, and use them, you can play them for ANYTHING.

    thats why his solos always sound different, at every show.

    he isnt a bad guitarist, but he isnt a great, in my opinion.

    i do the same thing myself, heh. use the A blues scale, and you can solo to anything

  • Comment removed

  • Cc's hair is cool.

  • bret is so good live! no wonder so many girls like him! <3

  • without a doubt this is probably when i realized glam/pop/butt/hair metal was a dying art. thanks alot kurt kobain. love your music but why'd you have to kill it!!??

    this was an exciting time in life and now its gone forever. it can't be equaled. its too screwed up and beyond repair. why didnt The Darkness continue to bring it back? they were the only ray of light. will someone please pick up the torch and bare it for us fans??????

  • Crashdiet are the real deal and not The Darkness, they're just a joke. A new glam/sleaze wave is under progress, and it is indeed on its way back. Although it hasn't reached the mainstream market yet. Give it another couple of years, and glam/sleaze will be back for real!!!

  • Yeah check out REV Theory

  • good fun shit

  • this is the performance were cc deville was so fucked up, he had no idea what was happeneing, i saw it in the bret michales interview
