this was from 1993 Native Tongue world tour. It was originally released on VHS in 1993 and then on DVD in 2006. It was also released as Poison Live In Concert with a different cover in 2003.
When I think of Bret I mean sure he's not Steven Tyler not Roger Daltrey or not even Freddie Mercury but he can hold his own. He's is not as overrated as people say.
Putting a REAL musician like Richie Kotzen in this band was akin to bring a fucking tank to a slapfight. Rikki's fiancee left him because the dude is one of THE dumbest motherfuckers still aloud to use electricity. And as for CC. EVERY damn solo is the same. He cant find his way out of a scale for more than 2 notes before going back. Best album they ever did and all of it's singles were Kotzens. I hate to inform all of Bret's fans but he became the 2nd best vocalist when RK joined.
In the 80's they may have been one of the goofiest looking bands of all time. And their music laid claim to that but they were highly underrated. And this was one of their best concerts.
richie kotzen is undoubtably a far better guitarist than cc but cmon, it just aint poison without CCs preoxide blonde hair and brightly coloured bc richs and ibanez. Richies toneis too bluesy for poison and his borin old telecasters dont cut it. Plus although his solos are technically far superior to CCs they dont compliment the song nearly as well. Hell CC could always write some dam catchy solos
@bigfatoilyguy I was quiet reading your comment... but what the fuck, man....you mentioned "boring" and "telecaster" in the same phrase.... WTF is with you?... you never ever do that again, you hear me?
CC is an EXCELLENT lead guitar player, so it Richie - so I enjoy all Poison concerts. Richie has a lot of CLASS and appeal on the Seven Days Over You concert - with the flip of the hair. OOOOOOOOOOH that's.....well....it's.....you know what I mean! hahaha
Everyone can talk about what a badass player that Ritchie is and how shitty poison and CC are but how many top ten songs has ritchie had? Oh thats right, none.
Poison is still touring and making money while ritchie is still vitually unknown except in third world countries playing in dives and during happy hours.
@oceangoyo that's because has kept a low profile, he doesn't need the exposure to media whatsoever, anyone that knows him, follows him respects him as caliber guitarist and musician.
Ritchie was WAY too good to be in that band. I saw them in Long Island with him and was just silly watching this absolute GIANT playing with those ants. thank god he banged whoever he had to bang to get out of that joke! haha!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Kotzen is a good player, but Poison is not the same without CC in it. Richie's ridiculous overplaying and awful solos only detracted from the songs. Also, he is a horrible performer with zero charisma compared to CC.
Awful solos? Really? LOL!!! Richie Kotzen is by far the best musician to have played in that band. Dont get me wrong, i think Poison were a kick ass band but there's no denying that CC was a fucking shite guitarist. Richie Kotzen is a world class guitarist respected all over the world. CC on the other hand, lol, he's a laughing stock. Terrible vibrato, awful phrasing, mediocre technique, yet he's better than Richie?? LOL!!! go see a hearing doctor.
C.C. is a good player but poison is not the same without Weezy in it. C.C.'s ridiculous overplaying and awful solos only detracted from the songs. Also he is a horrible performer with zero charisma compared to Weezy
When I look back to the time before I was 15 (basically, before I discovered Django Reinhardt and Donald Byrd) i shutter to think of the awful music I listened to - Native Tongue alone makes me not be ashamed of that time.
jacobsmommy. richie kotzen does not suck you stand alone with your opinion. almost everyone agrees that richie kicked some ass when he was playing with poison.
its so weird not hearing c.c.s whammy bar screams in this song live
