Poison "Poison'd"

Poison'd! is the seventh (eighth if counting Power to the People, a live album with studio tracks) studio album from the American hard rock/glam metal band Poison, released June 5, 2007. The 14-track album features recordings of Poison's favorite rock classics. Nine new tracks and five previously released covers make up the album.

The first single to be released from the album was a cover of the Romantics' "What I Like About You" which also featured a music video from the band.

The album entered the Billboard 200 chart at #32, selling 21,000 copies in its first week. The album also charted at #12 on the Top Rock Albums chart[8] A concert from the supporting tour was featured on the Poison DVD "Live, Raw & Uncut", which became the band's next release.

On 3 January 2007, Poison announced on their official Myspace page that they would like their fans to help pick favourite classic rock songs for the new studio album that they are to record. The fans replied with suggestions like Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird", Sweet's "The Ballroom Blitz", and AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long", along with what might be an obvious choice - Alice Cooper's "Poison". On 28 January, Rikki Rockett explained,

The Album will be ready for a summer Poison tour. p.s. The songs we are doing are NOT what you expect
