1. In "Son of a Thousand Blues" (Native Tongue) who/what does Bret say raised him?
Answer: gypsy queen
Native Tongue was Poison's first without CC as lead guitar. It was bluesy and jazzy and a definite "maturing" of Poison.
2. Complete this lyric, "She looks down at the stars lying on the streets, says to herself..."(Hollyweird)
Answer: that will be me
First full length album after CC returned to the band, Hollyweird has great songs but no ballads.
3. In "Play Dirty" (Look What The Cat Dragged In) who has "anything you like, if ya know what I mean"?
Answer: Tattoo Willie
Poison's debut album proved they were ready for fame and fortune as a top drawing "hair metal band" of the 80s.
4. Complete the lyric.."..although we both lie close together..."(Open Up and Say...Ahh)
Answer: we feel miles apart inside
"Every Rose Has Its Thorn" has become a Poison standard, and it was voted VH1's Number 1 Power Ballad.
5. Which of the following is the correct order of release?
Answer: Look What the Cat Dragged In, Open Up and Say..Ahh, Flesh & Blood, Swallow This Live, Native Tongue, Power To The People, Crack A Smile..and More, Hollyweird
Although "Crack A Smile"..and More was recorded before "Power To The People", it was released afterward when Poison was back with CC DeVille as lead guitar. "Crack A Smile" featured Blues Saricino on guitar and was canned for three years until after Poison's reunion tour was successful and they recorded and released "Power To The People", the second live album for the band.
6. Complete the lyric..."Express yourself in the face of..."(Native Tongue)
Answer: change
From the song "Stand on Native Tongue", Poison used a gospel choir as backup vocals for this song, one of my favorites.
7. In what song would we hear the line.."where eagles and angels dare to fly"?
Answer: Ride the Wind
"Ride The Wind", from "Flesh & Blood", is a song about motorcycles and how Bret feels when he's on his "steel horse", even though it seems like a love song.
8. Which of the following is a song NOT released as a single (with video) from the debut album "Look What the Cat Dragged In"?
Answer: Play Dirty
I just love this song, and I always thought it'd be a great video. Jimmy's Bar and Grille is an actual place that Poison played and would hang out.
9. What is the final line in "Flesh and Blood" (Sacrifice)?
Answer: are you willing to sacrifice
This is such a cool video, and was actually a limited showing on MTV due to its graphic nature, only aired after midnight. It really is a tame video to todays standards, but its nice to know that Bret and the boys were the first to shock MTV censors.
10. In what song do we hear the line, "I hate to see a pretty little woman all alone"?
Answer: Souls on Fire
From "Swallow This Live", one of the bonus studio tracks from Poison's first live album. I love this song, and hope they re-release it on their album in 2004 and maybe do a video. Hope you enjoyed this quiz, send me any feedback.
