Every Rose Has It's Thorn
"Believe it or not, in 1988 (the day and age of power ballads) POISON was told by several music industry executives that an acoustic ballad would never be a hit. Hmmm? No song POISON has ever written best describes an exact point in my life as this one. I wrote this song the summer of '86 in a laundry mat at a Dallas, Texas motel. We were on the road playing night clubs in support of LOOK WHAT THE CAT DRAGGED IN. To me, the "rose" symbolized the fact that my dreams of recording an album and touring had come true. The "thorn" however, came when a friend from Los Angeles called to tell me that my girlfriend at the time (who shall remain nameless) was seeing a musician from the famous band (who shall also remain nameless) because he had more money than me and a nicer car. Their meaningless relationship didn't last, however, the song did and went straight #1 for eight weeks in a row! It is strange how such a depressing incident can inspire such a successful song."
