DEAD FLOWERS!!???!!He (bret) is SUCH A AXL WANNA BE!

i dont think so. brett stuck to doing what he was best at, a big show done by a glam band.

Axl changed and moved into delving into different music  with a different line up in his band.... so i dont see the similarities.

Mitchell Peters of Billboard.com reports: A full itinerary is still being confirmed, but POISON and RATT will join forces for a summer trek starting June 13 at the Bi Lo Center in Greenville, S.C., and wrapping Aug. 19 at the Coors Amphitheatre in Denver.

The tour, which brings POISON and RATT onstage together for the first time since 1999, will visit amphitheaters, festivals and fairs in such cities as Boston, Detroit, New York, New Jersey and Los Angeles, says Troy Blakely, who books POISON with the Agency for the Performing Arts.

"Generally we're going to play 50-60 dates," Blakely tells Billboard.com. "I'd say 30-35 are sheds. The rest are various festivals, fairs and indoor shows."

Confirmed festivals thus far include Birmingham, Ala.'s City Stages (June 16), Bay City, Mich.'s Bay City River Roar (June 22), Pryor, Okla.'s Rocklahoma (July 13) and Sturgis, S.D.'s Buffalo Chip (Aug. 5).

Anyone remember what happened at the end of the last tour with Bret and CC having that fight onstage?

STURGIS -- The glam metal band Ratt will be playing the Legendary Buffalo Chip Campground Sunday, Aug. 5, during this year's Sturgis motorcycle rally.


The band includes original members Stephen Pearcy, Warren DeMartini, Juan Crocier, Bobby Blotzer and John Corabi. Ratt will perform the night after Poison, which plays at the Chip on Saturday, Aug. 4. The two bands formerly toured together.

Ratt has sold more than 18 million records worldwide, according to a news release from the Buffalo Chip, making Ratt "a rock icon from the 1980s."

The band has had several radio hits such as "Round and Round," "Wanted Man," "Back for More," "Lack of Communication" and "I'm Insane."

Also scheduled for the Chip is Toby Keith on Monday, Aug. 6.



Note the lineup..

Do you know Juan?? I dont think so!! Every source has said Juan was still negotiating the terms with them.

I dont know why you think you know if Juan is a part of this or not. He DOESNT hate all the members like you said he does. He toured with pearcy last summer with his solo band.

[mrlee]

unless juan states on his website, he isnt apart of it.

What a waste of John Corabi's talents...

RATT is one band that actually lost momentum and fans with each successive album, as each album was a step down from the one before, except for Dancing Undercover.

As for the Poison covers album, I think it's a cool idea. However, it's pretty lame that they are including past cover songs, dating back to the late 80s. Were they that lazy that they couldn't just record a few additional songs to round out the album?

Actually, I think their first 4 were steps up from the last few. they kinda lost momentum starting with reach for the sky.

Ratt[EP]- great cd
Out of the cellar-even better
Invasion of your privacy-even better than ootc
Dancing undercover-as good as OOTC
Reach for the sky-starting to go down
Detonator-worst cd, produced by desmond child, so its expected


But, EACH ratt cd AT LEAST went platinum in the 80s.

The only reason Poison is doing a covers album according to Rikki rocket is because the record company told them to. They wanted to do a new cd, but the record company said to do a covers album first.

What record company? Aren't they signed to some shitty indie label? Cover songs or origanals, any new Poison album wont sell more than 40k, tops.

They are signed to EMP/Capitol.
