It’s the sensitive side of Poison.

I’ve been reading Nothin’ But A Good Time, an oral history of the 80s “hair metal” scene.  Poison emerges as unlikely heroes in the narrative, a band that worked hard to put on a good show and managed to avoid a lot of the excesses that plagued other bands of the era.  Before he landed his spot with Guns ‘N’ Roses, Slash reluctantly auditioned out for Poison.  Bret Michaels wanted to hire him but the rest of the band preferred CC Deville.  It turned out to be the right choice for both the band and Slash.
