In other news, the Poison singer Bret Michaels' Mercedes took a bullet last Thursday from an unknown shooter in the parking lot of Los Angeles radio station where Michaels was headed for an appearance. His publicist told the New York Post that Bret is concerned because a similar incident happened in Springfield, Mass. several months ago.

"We're taking this seriously. We'd like to think it was random, but... both times this happened at publicized events."

Well, Bret, hate to tell ya, but that's what happens to people who play in cheesy pop bands. They get SHOT.

that was pretty harsh

[Kimera2004]

i'm sure a bunch of women in their 40's will be throwing their panties on stage

[coo-coo-cachoo]

All right quite bashing the guy and his band, they where huge for some time in the 80's and early 90's. Most of you wish you could have a carreer in music as good as his cheesy band or not. PS CC is an awesome guitar player.

[Lukeisonfire]

hey i like this band.

Listen *******, if you don't like a band, that's fine, but no self respecting musician should say that another deserves to be shot, whether joking or not. Just be thankful that other people aren't quite that stupid, or you may have wound up with a bullet in your skull.

To more pertenent matters, I'm really excited, though I'm not sure of the line up they'll be using. I'm hoping it's the original...but Bret always had good taste in guitarists to help him in his band.

[GNR Rules!]

they will never amount to Guns n roses

[GNR Rules!]

*First Post!

[Poisonous_Toxin]

I don't get why people hate them so much? I mean what have they done to were you won't like them? They are a good band and C.C. is an awesome guitarist. So I'm gald that they are still touring.

[GNR Rules!]

not as good as slash

[Egroves05]

Ok.....all things aside. Poison does not copy GNR, not even close. They are a great band. CC is an absolutley amazing guitarist. Of course not as good as slash, but he could give him a run for his money.

[griff1987]

hopefully they come to the UK. In the video 'American Band' its the original lineup and yes CC is an awesome guitarist

[STEVIERVAUGHN73]

DIDN'T SLASH TRY OUT FOR POISON AND WAS REJECTED????? OBVIOUSLY CC CANT BE ANY SLOUCH IF HE WAS PICKED OVER SLASH!!!!!

[STEVIERVAUGHN73]

BUT GNR IS STILL THE BETTER BAND THOUGH!!!! JUST HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE RIP MUSICIANS APART....FACT IS CC AND SLASH BOTH MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING RIGHT!!!!
