''Native Tongue'' is the fourth studio album by American hard rock band Poison, released in 1993 through Capitol Records. It peaked at #16 on the ''Billboard'' 200, #20 on the UK Albums Chart〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chart Stats - Poison )〕 and was certified Gold by the RIAA on April 21, 1993.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Gold and Platinum Database Search )〕 It has also been certified by CAN platinum. The album features new lead guitarist Richie Kotzen. Kotzen was hired as the band's guitarist following the firing of C.C. DeVille in late 1991. The album features the singles "Stand" which featured the Los Angeles First A.M.E. Church Choir on backing vocals, "Until You Suffer Some (Fire And Ice)" and "Body Talk". == Production and marketing == Admitted as a full-fledged member of the band rather than a "hired gun", Kotzen was given considerable creative freedom. Resultingly, Kotzen's writing and performing contributions dominated the album. Kotzen would later be expelled from the band following the world tour, after it was discovered that he had been romantically involved with the fiance of drummer Rikki Rockett. Recollections of the album, while no doubt soured by these events, nonetheless appear to faithfully reflect the basic clash between Kotzen's style and that of the band's founding members. Kotzen would later claim that "being in Poison helped me forget I was a musician"〔(Metal-rules.com, Heart of Steel; Interview with Richie Kotzen by McDonald K. ) Retrieved January 5, 2005.〕 while Rockett would lament the loss of the band's original "attitude" 〔(KAOS 2000 Magazine, Interview with Rikki Rockett by Wilson DL ) Retrieved January 6, 2005.〕 The album was recorded and mixed at A&M Studios in Hollywood, California, and Rumbo Recorders in Canoga Park, California with producer Richie Zito. It was dedicated to Van Halen tour manager Scotty Ross and former Poison guitarist DeVille. The album peaked at #16 on the Billboard chart. The first two singles "Stand" and "Until You Suffer Some (Fire And Ice)" featured music videos and charted in the US and the UK. "Stand" reached number 15 on the Mainstream rock chart, #35 on the Top 40 Mainstream chart and #50 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song also charted at number 25 on the UK Singles chart and "Until You Suffer Some (Fire And Ice)" peaked at number 32 on the UK Singles chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Poison chart stats )〕 Following the album the band released a video/DVD titled Seven Days Live which featured a concert from the ''Native Tongue'' world tour. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Native Tongue (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
