Poison

[tim_m]

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.

Pricey here too. They range from 40, 59, 75 to 113.

Let me preface by saying I LOVE MOTLEY CRUE. so in no way am i hating or being an asshole on purpose but Motley remind me of that star athlete in high school. thinks he is better than everyone, won't associate with anyone below his social level etc etc etc.. then gets old,fat, and still wears letterman jacket 20 years after they were cool and has done very little since but STILL likes to act like and think they are that star/stud prom king.


in other words, GET over yourself Motley. U ain't U2 or Radiohead.

Ur music is for partying and getting laid. isn't exactly deep . better than Poison but still, u ain't saving the world.

Thank god.

Thank god.

I second that.  There is only so much hipster rock(rardiohead) and mid life crisis rock(U2) that one can handle in this world.  I went to a U2 show once I thought I was at a Parent/Teacher conference.

Poison still sucks pretty hard though, I don't understand why people follow them when there are so many bands from that era that so much better.  Its really scrapping the bottom of the barrel when you get to Poison.  Might as well just listen to Nelson or Warrant at that point.  Same shit.

[D]

Dont get me wrong I hate u2 and Radiohead

just meaning Motley Crue aren't some out to save/change the world pretentious crap

But yet they act like they are so above Poison when they basically have similar messages in their songs

Motley are a much better band but have the same audience.

Q&A: Bret Michaels

Published March 15, 2011
 
After a deluge of well-documented medical problems, Bret Michaels is feeling "really damn good right now." So good that he's preparing to embark on multiple tours.

He'll kick off this year's work doing solo dates to advance his forthcoming album, "Get Your Rock On," and then front Poison for a run of shows. On June 7, Poison begins a summer jaunt supporting Motley Crue with special guest New York Dolls.

"I can't wait," Michaels told SoundSpike about the Motley Crue/Poison/New York Dolls jaunt. "It's going to be great. You know when you make a wish list of things to do? This is on my list. I said I wanted to go out with Def Leppard and tour. I wanted to go out with KISS. Last year, I went [out as a solo artist] with Lynyrd Skynyrd.

"With Poison and Motley Crue, we're two of the big survivors of our genre of music, right? We have a lot of hits. I'll tell you this: We sold a lot of records and we're both going to put on an amazing show."

Bret Michaels: Charlie Sheen learned how to 'bust' up a hotel room from me

Charlie Sheen doesn't just have his tiger blood to thank for busting up a Plaza Hotel room last year, Bret Michaels wants some credit too.

The Poison rocker has revealed he "professionally" taught the "Two and a Half Men" star how to trash a hotel room because Sheen "wasn't doing a good job at first."

"I said, 'You gotta really let it out man! You gotta let it out and bust this stuff,'" Michaels told Access Hollywood.

"He showed me how to do films and make money, and I showed him out to lose a lot of money by smashing up hotel rooms," quipped Michaels, who has been open about his hard-partying past.

"I don't know if he's winning or losing," Michaels told Access Hollywood, adding, "maybe he's just spilling out what he's going through right now."

 Poisons shitty set was going to embarrass Motley Crue enough, so Michaels had to go out and drop this song during the tour?

I detest and hate Miley as much as all of you guys, but in saying that nobody forced Crue to tour with Poison.

From Bret Michaels on Poison:

Performing helps Michaels heal

Poison -- with more than 25 million albums sold worldwide and such hits as "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" and "Nothin' But A Good Time" -- is celebrating 25 years in the music business this year. Michaels says it doesn't surprise him that they are still together.

"I think I did imagine a lifelong career with them," he says. "Life is about loyalty to me. You stick together. I'm still amazed by Poison and by what we've done together in our career so far. We turned nothing into something. And we never faked it."

Michaels says the members of Poison -- C.C. DeVille, Bobby Dall and Rikki Rockett -- don't have any plans to record any new music, but they are releasing a double CD retrospective of their greatest hits, "Double Dose of Poison: Ultimate Hits" next month.

"As far as writing all-new material, I'm not sure when that will happen," Michaels says. "But I'm sure that it will one day. I love writing music and I love those guys as though they're my brothers. When the time is right and the inspiration hits, I'm sure we'll all find ourselves back in the studio together."

you don't have to tell me,.  The album Dr. Feelgood made me forgive Motley Crue for those piles of shit "Theatre of Pain" and "Girls Girls Girls". They are going to have to put out one hell of an album for me to forgive this Poison tour bullshit.

Quality Motley Crue. Probably my fav album by them.

Anyway, I see I'm posting this in the Poison thread. I don't really know anything about Poison other than Every Rose... so I should stop.

Agreed, GGG isone of a very few albums I can listen to by any band all the way through and love every track. TOP is a really great album also minus the muddy sound.
