There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Poison is a Hard Rock band from Los Angeles. Formed by drummer Rikki Rockett and singer Bret Michaels, they started out in Pennsylvania in the early 80s. Their first band together was called the Spectres. They left the Spectres and started Paris with bassist Bobby Dall. They then moved to Los Angeles, where they parted ways with guitarist Matt Smith. Many people tried out for Poison’s vacant lead guitar spot, including soon-to-be Guns N’ Roses lead axeman Slash. They told Slash he had talent but didn’t fit the image.
After hiring C.C. DeVille, they changed their name to the more edgy ‘’Poison’’ and started working their way up the L.A. Club scene. In 1986 they recorded their debut album ‘’Look What the Cat Dragged In’‘, which was made succesful by their massive hit ‘’Talk Dirty To Me’‘, whose video was played on a constant rotation on MTV. Poison’s next album, the fan favorite ‘’Open Up and Say… AH!’’ was carried on the shoulders of the chart topping ballad ‘’Every Rose Has Its Thorn’‘, written by Bret Michaels about his girlfriend cheating on him with Quiet Riot frontman Kevin DuBrow. Poison’s third album, Flesh & Blood, showed Poison’s more mainstream side. After Flesh & Blood came out, Poison started going downhill. C.C. DeVille was in a constant drug binge and couldn’t be found. When Poison was slated to play Unskinny Bop for the MTV Movie Awards, C.C. forgot what song to play and ripped into Talk Dirty To Me on live television. He was fired on the spot.

Hello everybody! There is a big problem! There is a new band called Giant! In last.fm http://www.last.fm/music/Giant with the same name is the old AOR band Giant and the experimental doom metal band Giant.When users listening "Giant" they see the same name,different pictures and different similar artists-something like this: Tides, Rosetta, Winger,Bonfire..... I want to ask you to visit this link http://www.last.fm/music/Giant/+images and give your negative vote about every picture of the experimental doom metal band.This is really important!This is the way to erase their photos like default pictures for this band.They change every day the info of the band writing for their experimental band and trying to erase the aor band Giant!This isn`t fair!You must give you positive vote about every pictures of the AOR band Giant : and tell for this on your friend!Chears! Sorry, but this isn`t the way to bacome famous -using Dann Huff`s band! Thank you!
