Flesh & Blood American glam metal band Poison , released on July 2, 1990,[7] Capitol Records . It peaked at number 2 on the Billboard charts[8] [citation needed It peaked at number 1 on the Cash Box charts.[9]
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! [3] Unskinny Bop " and "Something to Believe In " and three other hit singles, "Ride the Wind ", "Life Goes On ", and "(Flesh & Blood) Sacrifice ".[10]
It was certified Platinum in 1990 and triple Platinum in 1991 by the RIAA .[11]
Production and marketing [ edit ]
The album was recorded and mixed at Little Mountain Sound Studios , Vancouver, British Columbia , Canada, with Canadian producer Bruce Fairbairn and mixer Mike Fraser .
The front cover art features the Poison logo and album title as a tattoo on drummer Rikki Rockett 's arm. The cover was originally planned to have a slightly different version of the tattoo after being freshly inked, with inflamed red skin with dripping ink or blood. The original cover was released for the initial pressing in Japan but was removed from all later pressings including those in Japan. The record's marketing reflected the end of Poison's glam image, including excessive make-up and teased, girlish hair as with Look What the Cat Dragged In Guns N' Roses .
Parts of the album are darker and more serious, including overcoming hard times, missing loved ones, long-term relationships, and mass sociopolitical disillusionment. Fun topics include sex, exhilaration from music or motorbikes, and tongue-in-cheek poverty. Some songs have a blues rock style.[3]
The meaning of the album's lead single "Unskinny Bop", one of the band's most popular songs, is obscure. DeVille later confessed that the phrase "unskinny bop" has no particular meaning. He devised it as a temporary measure while writing the song, before vocalist Bret Michaels had begun working on the lyrics. The phrase was used on the basis that it was phonetically suited to the music. The song was later played to producer Fairbairn, who stated that although he did not know what an "unskinny bop" was, the phrase was perfect.[12]
Accolades [ edit ]
Flesh & Blood was voted Best Album in Circus [13]
The album yielded three Metal Edge [14]
