Description

Flesh & Blood is the third studio album by American glam metal band Poison, released in 1990 through the Enigma label of Capitol Records. The album peak at #2 on the Billboard charts and it sold over 4,000,000 copies worldwide.
The album spawned two top 10 singles: “Unskinny Bop”

and “Something to Believe In”,

as well as three other hit singles:
“Ride The Wind”
“Life Goes On”
and
“(Flesh & Blood) Sacrifice”

Flesh & Blood was certified Gold in 1990 and 3x Multi-Platinum in 1991

The front cover of the album featured the Poison logo and album title as a tattoo on Rikki Rocketts arm.
Parts of the album reflected a darker, more serious side to the band, touching themes such as hard times and overcoming them (“Valley of Lost Souls”, “Life Loves A Tragedy”, “Come Hell Or High Water”), missing loved ones (“Life Goes On”), long-term relationships (“Dont Give Up an Inch”, “Ball and Chain”), and disillusionment (“Something to Believe In”). The fun side of the band remained intact, however, in tracks dealing with sex (“(Flesh & Blood) Sacrifice”, “Unskinny Bop”), exhilaration from music or motorbikes (“Let It Play”, “Ride the Wind”), and tongue-in-cheek poverty (“Poor Boy Blues”).
The meaning of “Unskinny Bop”, one of the bands most popular songs, has always been shrouded in obscurity. DeVille later confessed that the phrase “unskinny bop” has no particular meaning. He invented 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.
