Poison would form under the name of Paris in 1983 after going to a show performed by the rock group Spinal Tap. The band would consist of Bret Michaels, Matt Smith, Bobby Dall, and Rikki Rockett. The group would move to Los Angeles to start their band where they would scrape together a few shows looking to make it big in the music industry.
