history
Musically, the song starts off calmly and includes two guitar solos, a quiet and a fast one. During a visit to the “cowboy bar” The Ritz , the band wrote and composed the song.
In an interview on VH1's program Behind the Music (German: Behind the Music), the front man Poisons, Bret Michaels, said that the idea for the song came "overnight". It all started when he was waiting in a laundromat for his clothes to dry and his girlfriend at the time made a phone call. Meanwhile, he heard a male voice in the background and she was devastated. Michaels went up to her and said "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" (German: Every rose has its thorn).
The hard rock and country rock ballad was released on October 12, 1988; in Europe the song did not appear until 1989.
Video
At the beginning of the video, Michael yawns out of his bed, which is also his wife, and they both look unhappy. He sighs and walks away, then he plays the guitar and scenes from his band tour are faded in. The rest of the clip consists of recordings from the 1988 tour of Poison, but in a cutscene you see Michael's wife driving down a street in a Ford Thunderbird .
