Poison

[Malcolm]

The Associated Press is reporting that POISON singer Bret Michaels escaped serious injury after shots were fired at his tour bus last night (Nov. 21), his publicist confirmed.

Michaels was on his bus in Chicopee (CHIK'-oh-pee), Massachusetts, where he was performing a solo show. According to the publicist, witnesses said someone in another vehicle fired at the bus while Michaels was still on it. Michaels was struck in the face by broken glass but was not seriously hurt.

The publicist says police do not believe it was a random drive-by shooting because the shots were fired directly into the living quarters at the rear of the tour bus.

Michaels says in a statement that it will take more than what he calls "a cowardice act like this" to make him stop performing.

Michaels will perform as scheduled tonight in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and tomorrow in Cincinnati.

Just to update on the story;

POISON lead singer BRET MICHAELS will remain on tour despite being the target of a drive-by shooting November 21, in Chicopee, Massachusetts. The multi-platinum artist was in town to perform a rare, invitation-only acoustic show, when, prior to the show, shots were fired from a white Ford F-150 while Michaels was still on the tour bus, according to witnesses. Michaels was struck in the face by flying broken glass, but escaped serious injury. According to Michaels' management office, HK Management in Los Angeles, this is not the first police or federal investigation that Michaels has been at the center of. Throughout his career, Michaels has been the target of numerous death threats investigated by the FBI. A person identifying himself as Mark Kram fired 9 mm bullets through photos of Michaels and mailed them, along with threatening notes to several arenas in which Michaels was scheduled to perform. Investigators believe the suspect in that particular case lives in the Northeastern United States. The police were also called to investigate when a tire came off of the truck that Michaels was driving after attending a concert in California. In that case, someone had loosened the lug nuts on the vehicle, causing Michaels to wreck in the middle of a busy freeway following the event.

Not adding anything special to the thread except to say I have always liked poison.. back in the 80's when coming of age I didn't quite understand the whole glam seen and it confused me a bit but I always liked the tunes on the radio.. Look what the cat dragged in was great and I always loved talk dirty to me..

Who could possibly be that upset with Bret Michaels?  Nobody ever has anything bad to say about him.  Must be some crazed fan.

On October 24th, 2005, the home of rock guitarist C.C. DEVILLE was broken into and over 30 pieces of equipment were stolen. A concentrated effort lead by the LAPD's Van Nuys Burglary Division, Planet Deville and VH-1 came to a culmination with the arrest of the thief at the Ranchero Cucamonga Guitar Center on December 8th, 2005. Giorgio Alessandro Trabucco of Van Nuys California was arrested while attempting to sell C.C.'s Les Paul Jr to Guitar Center. An employee, who had been alerted earlier in the day that his location was in possession of pieces stolen from C.C., quickly called Johannessongs and the Cucamonga Police. Trabucco was arrested in the store within minutes. Subsequent search of Trabucco's home turned up other pieces of the guitarists equipment.

Mmmmm.....i'll admit they have attempted the heartfelt lyrics.  I suppose they also have that cheesy vibe going on (which isn't a band thing...) i just see them as an awesome Party Rock Band!
