BRET MICHAELS interview May, 2001
Mr. Bret Michaels, How are you sir?
"I'm doing awesome."
2) How's your daughter?
"Raine Elizabeth is beautiful, thank you. I am very happy."
3) So, with the summer approaching fast, are you excited to hit the road again?
"Well, the most exciting thing is every summer gets me more pumped up. We'll be hitting
the road from late May to late September/early October."
4) What made you decide this year's support acts (Warrant, Quiet Riot, ENUFF Z'NUFF) ?
"Realistically, these guys have toured with us in the past. It'll be a good show
for the fans."
5) Who else would you like to bring on future tours?
"Well, next year, i would like to
bring out POISON, DEF LEPPARD, MOTLEY CRUE, & SCORPIONS and flip-flop on
who headlines."
6) What do you think of NAPSTER?
"Well, it's a Catch 22. Good exposure. We,
Poison, give free music to fans sometimes. I think 1 or two free songs from a band is
great, but not a whole album. Bands won't work for free."
7) What were the last five albums you bought?
"Foo Fighters, Kid Rock, AC/DC--Highway to Hell -- wore that album out, so bought a new one. AEROSMITH's new
one, and a new band from Denver, Colorado called, SICK."
8) What's in your c.d. player right now?
"Let's see, it's a six disc. Power To The
People, Kid Rock, Queen's Greatest Hits, Foo Fighters, AC/DC Highway To Hell ,
and our new single, Rockstar."
9) What was the last film you saw?
"Enemy At The Gates. I love movies like Saving
Private Ryan and Platoon."
10) What POISON or Bret Michaels song do you feel best resembles you?
"Truest reflections at the exact moment of writing it would have to be Something to Believe In
or Every Rose Has It's Thorn."
11) If a high schooler (Who has just gotten into POISON) walks into a music store,
looks at the POISON section, and tries to decide the first POISON album he will
buy, which album would you first recommend?
"Good one to pick...tough to say. I
would say, Open Up...And Say AHH!"
12) What's your favorite kind of food?
"My favorite kind is Italian."
13) In the dawn of a new century, how do you feel the music industry treats you now?
"The music industry follows the fans. Capitol/EMI has found a new love for us. All our albums have gone gold and platinum, except for Crack A Smile which is on it's way."
14) How about the media?
"Mixed. Some love us, some hate us. I do give it all to the fans that are loyal and come out to our shows."
15) Is there a full-length POISON studio album in the works anytime in the future?
"May 2002, mark my words! I'm making the album no matter what. Whether I have to play guitar, drums, or do it all by myself. I'm making a new Poison album."
