Into the Inferno's Embrace | Rapid Fire | POISON

Rapid Fire is an iconic rock ballad by the American glam metal band Poison, released in 1991 on their fourth studio album Swallow This. The song tells the story of a tumultuous relationship where emotions are running high and fast-paced, much like the lyrics suggest.

The song's chorus, "You're gonna get burned, you're gonna get hurt, if you play with fire", sets the tone for the rest of the song. It's about the thrill and excitement that comes with taking risks in love, but also the potential consequences of getting too close to the flame. The lyrics are a cautionary tale, warning of the dangers of getting caught up in the heat of passion.

Bret Michaels' powerful vocals bring the emotional intensity of the song to life, as he belts out lines like "We're gonna light it up, we're gonna make it hot, we're gonna take it right to the top". The guitar work by C.C. Deville and Richie Kotzen is equally impressive, with soaring solos that add depth and complexity to the song.

Rapid Fire has become one of Poison's most popular songs, and its themes of passion, excitement, and risk-taking continue to resonate with fans of rock music today. Whether you're a fan of 80s glam metal or just looking for a song to get your adrenaline pumping, Rapid Fire is sure to deliver.
