Episode 95 is here, get out your hairspray! One of the biggest hair metal bands of all time is represented. We review the 1990 3x platinum album Flesh & Blood by Glam Metal band Poison. Mark and Sav go down memory lane on this one! Stay tuned for the review!
Flesh & Blood is the third studio album by American glam metal band Poison, released on July 2, 1990, through the Enigma label of Capitol Records. It peaked at number 2 on the Billboard charts and more than 7.2 million copies were sold worldwide. It peaked at number 1 on the Cash Box charts.
The album was an attempt by the band to establish a more serious musical stance, more than just the hair metal party dynamic of 1988’s Open Up and Say… Ahh!. It spawned two top 10 singles, “Unskinny Bop” and “Something to Believe In” and three other hit singles, “Ride the Wind“, “Life Goes On“, and “(Flesh & Blood) Sacrifice“.
It was certified Platinum in 1990 and triple Platinum in 1991 by the RIAA. It has been certified 4× Platinum by CAN and Gold by BPI.
