Warrant - Proud to Be Shirtless Hairmericans

The big difference between Warrant and Poison back in the day? Well, Warrant were proud to be shirtless Americans while Poison handed me a flyer with a chick's fantastic ass on it. And at the age of 16, a chick's ass beats shirtless long-haired dudes every time.

Time to Stop It with the Stupid Slogans and Promote the Debut LP

Poison goes legit...no more ridiculous slogans like "Not Just for Breakfast Anymore" or "Drugs Won't Help"...just "we have a record coming out...go buy it".

To Be Honest Poison, You Didn't Owe Us Anything...

Dig the name of the opening band, L.A. Rocks. Pander much to the hometown crowd fellas? I Jeff Scott Soto was the singer.

Poison - Swallow This One!

I assume this flyer was directed more towards the band's lady fans...

Poison - Suspended for the Summer

No doubt the guys probably thought this was a really clever idea circa June 8th, 198?.....but they were so wrong.

Poison - Not Just for Breakfast Anymore?

That's right, "not just for breakfast anymore"....hands down the stupidest slogan Poison came up with for a flyer. At least they weren't the band Rocktopus, who used to put ads in BAM Magazine which asked..."What has 8 arms and rocks?".

Poison Grab a Piece of the Stardust Ballroom

No band would ever get away with passing this flyer out on the streets today, but Poison knew how to draw the dudes as well as the ladies. It is important to note the bottom of the flyer, "Proceeds go to M.D.A" (Muscular Dystrophy Association). I just hope that's not what caused the guys to grab that poor girl's ass.

Guns N' Roses - Doing It Twice A Night At The Roxy

For anyone who cares, the opening bands for the shows were Carrera and Lions & Ghosts.

Guns N' Roses - The Band That Wouldn't Die!

Not a more prophetic flyer will you find, considering all the original gunners are still alive after trying for years to kill themselves with booze and drugs. Also ironic since the real G&R has been dead for years.
