I know that Baz will open for poison.

But I like that bill

[FunkyMonkey]

BRET MICHAELS AND POISON TO REUNITE FOR A 25TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR AND ARE CONFIRMED TO CO- HEADLINE A SELECT DATE SUMMER TOUR WITH MOTLEY CRUE.

Tickets to go on sale March 18th Recent Celebrity Apprentice winner and Donald Trump favorite, rocker Bret Michaels, currently recuperating from heart surgery, will reunite with all original Poison band mates for a 25th Anniversary tour tentatively titled "Glam ? A ? Gedon 25". For the first time ever Poison and Motley Crue will co-headline a select date summer tour with special guests the New York Dolls. Although several controversial statements have been made in the press by certain members of Motley Crue vowing this tour would never happen, that is simply not the case. Fans of both bands have spoken and want the tour to happen and both Motley Crue and Poison have agreed. Concert promoters in these select cities state that the buzz is unbelievable for both the Poison dates as well as the Motley Crue / Poison tour. No doubt this will be the rock tour of the summer. Both Poison and Motley Crue have a long history of hit songs, bigger than life stage shows, no holds barred live energy not to mention the two bands combined have sold over 100 million records and have over 24 top 40 hits between them. Tickets for the Motley Crue / Poison tour will go on sale March 18, 2011. Poison plan to kick off their 25th Anniversary "Glam -A ? Gedon 25" tour in Tupelo Mississippi at the Bancorp South Arena Wednesday May 25th. Michaels will then continue solo, playing Thursday May 26th in Ft. Walton Beach where he will perform for the fans & troops as he did last Memorial Day weekend. Michaels will rejoin Poison in Little Rock at the River Fest Amphitheater on Friday May 27th. Michaels will then perform solo at the Hard Rock in Biloxi on Saturday May 28th. Bret will rejoin Poison and Motley Crue Sunday May 29th at ROCKLAHOMA. Poison will then continue on alone playing arenas from Memorial Day until rejoining Motley Crue in Dallas at the Starplex Amphitheater on Tuesday June 7th. When reporters recently asked Bret Michaels if there was any bad blood between the bands, Michaels laughs " there may be some friendly competition but there is no bad blood at all on my part. Nikki and I have spoken several times on the phone recently and the conversations went great." Michaels continues, "Music is a universal language and I am extremely excited that this tour has come together as are the fans, they are truly going to see a great show. Honestly, I could care less about all the mudslinging, it gets nobody nowhere, and after all I have been through health wise in the last year, I am going to try to focus on what does matter which is the show, the fans, fun and personally throwing a hell of a backstage party." Bret Michaels solo tour will start March 19th when he appears at Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night alongside Kevin Costner, David Foster, Billy Crystal, Halle Berry and Reba McIntire and will continue up until the Motley Crue / Poison tour starts. The Get Your Rock On solo tour in support of the album of the same name will resume immediately following the select summer dates with Motley Crue & Poison. Fans can go directly to BretMichaels.com to get the latest news and join his Titanium and Platinum Backstage VIP Fan Experience which he has done successfully for years. It will be the only VIP Backstage package offered for the Poison tour. For more Poison/Bret Michaels tour dates and VIP Fan Experience information go to BretMichaels.com.

I like Poison don't get me wrong, but one thing that was always said bout Poison were how they were kind of fake rock stars in the sense that Motley did drugs got in fights and behaved the way they did cause that was how "THEY ACTUALLY" were. even if they weren't famous, that was them, whereas Poison did shit cause they thought that was how they were suppose to act.

Bret got asked who partied more and he said it was even or something... Please... Nikki blew them all out of the water combined.

With all due respect.. since when does a rockstar have to be on drugs or get into fights to be a rockstar??
That's just a fake standard made by society! Just because they were mostly junkies in the 80s, doesn't mean they're more or less rockstars then the others. What separates their generation from the new one, is the quality of the music. The rest is just magazine drama...who cares....

I think Poison are a pretty solid band, and i dont care if they were "posers" or not, but they rock that stage!

Nikki was stupid enough to almost kill himself... thats not being a rockstar to me, thats being a stupid human being...

I hate those stupid rockstars we come on in magazines criticizing other bands for writting songs about drugs (and this is not related to Poison), when they didnt have any interaction with drugs. Hate it when they say they're "posers".

Its like... you dont need to be a stupid rockstar who has no love for his life or no self esteem like Nikki or Slash at once to figure out what drugs do to you... u can just read a book and have a notion of what they do to you, so why would a person like that be a poser?... i mean do u have to try it, to know what its like? cmon... I know what each and every drug does to you and im not a rockstar neither iv tried them... does that make me a poser? please...
Its actually contraditory... they go around and criticize society in their songs, but then they do the same, they do other society standards in their songs. Pretty fuckin lame.

[One.In.A.Million]

I think alot of people underestimate Poison, just because of their glam image. These guys know how to write songs, and they have alot of catchy, melodic songs. There's another group called Stars From Mars, and these guys are glam as hell, but again they have some really cool songs.

I guess it's just like the old saying, don't judge a book by it's cover.

Unskinny, Bop - Bop - Bop - Bop.

 

[D]

no no thats not what i was  saying. I was saying Motley didn't do that to be "rockstars" they were just that way but Poison did drugs/drunk etc cause they THOUGHT that was how they were suppose to act.

thats what has always been said.


Bon Jovi are pretty drug free and are my fave. so i wasn't saying u had to.

Poison are really a very good band. Flesh And Blood album is fantastic.

[Bodhi]

Poison are really a very good band. Flesh And Blood album is fantastic.

  priceless.  Tell us another one!! 

[One.In.A.Million]

Poison are really a very good band. Flesh And Blood album is fantastic.

  priceless.  Tell us another one!! 

Come on Bodhi, they really are talented musicians. 

You should check out a Poison show, they have thousands of fans, all loyal as hell as well. And also Bret Michaels is a nice guy, he has always been complimentary towards GN'R and even covered Heavens Door many times too.

Unskinny Bop - Bop - Bop - Bop. 

[D]

Nevermind, i just remembered Unskinny Bop


Something To Believe in and Life Goes on are fantastic songs. too bad they didn't make music like that their entire careers.

[Halo69]

oh ok

[Halo69]

I like Nothing but a good time, Fallen Angel, talk dirty to me, every rose has its thorn, something to believe in, unskinny bop, life goes on, they're all great songs!

Well i like the whole glam scene, its cool as hell!

[Bodhi]

Nevermind, i just remembered Unskinny Bop


Something To Believe in and Life Goes on are fantastic songs. too bad they didn't make music like that their entire careers.

yeah those two songs are damn good..they have a few others..but overall i cant listen to them without laughing.

Bret Michaels on Crue tour: It doesn't have to be a lovefest

MARCH 11, 2011

How did this summer tour come about?

Bret Michaels: Very simple. I was going out solo this year. I have a brand new tour and CD, Bret Michaels, ?Get your Rock On.? I was going out solo and we?re going to do a couple dates with Poison for our 25th anniversary. Well, I mentioned at a couple venues that I thought it would be great if Motley and Poison toured together for our 25th and 30th anniversaries. And I took a lot of flack [laughs] from certain members of Motley Crue, who vowed they were never going to do it. Well, here we are doing it.

So what has the relationship been like with the bands over the years?

Bret Michaels: Here?s the funniest thing. Vince has toured with Poison many times solo. We get along great. As far as Motley and Poison, there hasn?t been much of a connection. This is the first time we?ve ever done a tour together. I know over the years that Motley has a certain way they want to brand themselves or want themselves to be seen. With Poison, we just want to go out to play for fans and the people who show up. If there?s going to be a friendly competition as far as wanting to go out and put on a great show, absolutely. As far as saying anything bad about them, I just don?t.

As far as getting along, I?m not around them enough to know or really care how they feel. Even if they like Poison or don?t like me, I?m playing to fans who show up. It doesn?t have to be a lovefest between our two bands. I don?t want the fans to be separated. Motley fans are Poison fans are rock fans. Music is a universal language.

[One.In.A.Million]

Well said Bret, and I have to agree that Motley seem to want to convey a certain image. Where as with Poison, they are more about pleasing the fans these days, where as Motley still think it's the 80's or something. 

[faldor]

I want to go see this show, but tickets are quite pricey, at least for the Mohegan Sun date, $110.  If I can't get GOOD seats for that price, I'm not sure it's worth it.
