I love this vintage interview clip. If anyone in rock holds the title of “Captain A.D.D.”, it would have to be Poison’s Bret Michaels! This scattershot blurb on good press vs. bad press goes about a million miles per hour, but it’s all fun.

Man, a scrapbook of press clippings? That’s hardcore. The funniest part is that his last sentence said all he really needed to say.

True! But I like his million words a minute stop-start manner of speaking. I felt like I burned some calories listening to him.

By the time the show rolled into Winnipeg Warrant got the boot and it was Don Dokkens Up from the Ashes band which demolished Poison that night..Norum and White put a guitar clinic whereas CC played god knows what during his solo…

CC played snort patrol! Lol. I guess his days were numbered by then.
No wonder grunge came along. People sick of being ripped off.

Yup…Poison played 75 minutes and 15 of those minutes was tied up with drum and guitar solo’s. Call laid on his back on one of the ramps for most of the show so he was basically playing open A notes on his bass. Micheals tried man he really did…
