Poison'd! is the seventh studio album by American glam metal band Poison, released through Capitol Records on June 5, 2007. The 14-track album features cover versions of the band'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.[1] The album also charted at #12 on the Top Rock Albums chart[2] A concert from the supporting tour was featured on the Poison DVD "Live, Raw & Uncut", which was the band's next release.
On January 3, 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 January 28, Rikki Rockett explained,
The Walmart version of Poison'd! exclusively features the bonus track "SexyBack" originally performed by Justin Timberlake.[3]
It was later released as a digital single in the iTunes Store.
The only Poison cover songs not included as bonus tracks are "Cover of the Rolling Stone" (Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show cover) from Crack a Smile...and More!, and "God Save the Queen", an instrumental Sex Pistols cover from the Open Up and Say... Ahh! sessions (which was released on the 20th anniversary edition of Flesh & Blood).
