BEST OF ’87/'88: The raw, the racy and the downright riotous Look What The Cat Dragged In. This year, get ready for (gulp) Swallow This!
PROFILE: This deadly foursomesinger Bret Michaels, drummer Rikki Rockett, bassist Bobby Dall and guitarist C.C. DeVille—represents a return to the heyday of glam rock. The formula? Long hair, loud riffs, cool clothes and a whole lotta attitude. Oh, and a chord or two. MOTTO: “Life is a bitch and then you rehearse.”
QUICKEST ACCOMPLISHMENT:
Poison recorded their debut in only 12 days for $30,000—a small price to pay for multi-platinum success.
HOBBIES: Collecting intimate snapshots (ahem) of their fans, swapping eyeliner and dressing for success. Bret spent some of his cash on a 1957 Thunderbird.
BEAUTY SECRETS: Rikki Rockett is a licensed cosmetologist: he's Poison’s in-house hair stylist and make-up consultant.
QUOTE: “One thing I do know is that Poison thrives on playing live. We’ve always done things at 100 m.p.h., giving 110 percent.”
