POISON

Poison

Encore un groupe en manque d'inspiration qui nous prépare un album de reprises, ils se préparent à entrer en studio pour enregistrer un album de classiques du rock. Ce qui est un peu plus original, c'est qu'ils demandent aux fans de proposer ces classiques sur leur page officielle MySpace
Un best of était sorti en avril 2006 « The Best Of Poison: 20 Years of Rock », qui inclut leur reprise de GRAND FUNK RAILROAD « We're An American Band ». Le CD, qui commémore l'anniversaire des 20 ans de POISON , a été vendu à plus de 325.000 copies aux Etats-Unis , selon Nielsen SoundScan.
