Bassist
Eric Brittingham of the multi-platinum '80s hard rock band
CINDERELLA filled in for
Bobby Dall on the last few shows of
POISON's just-completed tour with
DEF LEPPARD and
CHEAP TRICK after
Dall was either taken ill or was dealing with other personal issues (depending on which rumor you choose to believe).
Video footage of
POISON frontman
Bret Michaels introducing
Brittingham to the audience at the band's September 6, 2009 concert at the San Manuel Amphitheatre San Bernardino, California can be viewed below. Also available is footage of the
"Talk Dirty To Me" performance from the same show (both courtesy of
"tarantulaman").
BON JOVI's bass player
Hugh McDonald filled in for
Dall at the August 25
POISON concert at USANA Amphitheatre in West Valley City, Utah. According to the
Deseret News,
McDonald stepped up to the plate just 20 minutes before
POISON was scheduled to go on stage. Rather than cancel their set,
Michaels said
McDonald volunteered his services and took a crash course in learning several
POISON songs.
