POISON Frontman To Appear On 'Inside Edition'
- Apr. 9, 2006
|
|
|
Bret Michaels of POISON will appear on the next "Inside Edition" (described as television's longest-running, top-rated and most-honored syndicated newsmagazine) to talk about the recent attempts on his life. The frontman has endured death threats, had his dog poisoned, and was shot at twice — in Massachusetts and Los Angeles.
Back in November in Massachusetts, someone fired a weapon at Michaels that shattered a window on his tour bus, and a similar thing happened two weeks ago, when a window in his car was shot out while he was driving in Los Angeles. Michaels told Launch Radio Networks that he hopes anyone with information on what's happening will come forward. "I'd like to believe it's random, but it's getting pretty scary at this point," he said. "And I'm not a fearful person of much of anything — meaning I'm not a person that lays down and says, 'That's it. I'm not doing nothing.'But at the same time, this is also my family, my daughters — there's a lot of other people involved — so anything that would lead to any information would be very helpful."
Michaels has no idea who's behind either shooting incident, but he told Launch that there's one person who's been under scrutiny for quite a while. "The FBI's been investigating a guy by the name of Mark Kram," he said. "We cannot figure out who this is, because obviously it's his name spelled forward and backwards. They've been investigating that since the early '90s. And we've gotten so many death threats, and they've become weirder and stranger over time, so it's pretty scary."
If anyone has any information, Michaels asks that you send it in through his website, BretMichaels.com.
POISON released a new greatest-hits set last week called "The Best Of Poison: 20 Years of Rock", which includes their cover version of GRAND FUNK RAILROAD's "We're An American Band". They'll join up with CINDERELLA for the "20 Years Of Rock" tour from June 13 to August 25.

If there is a sign that this guy should give it up, this is it. I mean, if someone is trying to kill you, your music obviously isn't going to be pleasing many audiences.

Isn't that that sound of Inside Edition?
Mark Kram, LOL. Oxymoron. Guess whose the moron?
Seriously though, unless ole Bret pissed somebody off, this was probably a warning of some kind or something simple like a drunk Dort (pronounced, Dawt for Dorchester) Boy potshotting the tour bus. Either way I wish no harm to Bret but conversely would not harm my ears by ever attending one of his or Poison show.

Ritchie was boning Ricki Rocket's girl at the time. He'd skip out of practice early to lay the pipe while Ricki was out on the town. Funny thing is, Ricki would always call to tell her when he was coming home so she had plenty of time to doll herself up for Ricki and that gave Ritchie had plenty of time to get out. Very hilarious situation. It went on for months until she finally fessed up and then that's when they tossed Ritchie out of the bus.

You know, to not be into his music is one thing, but to wish harm or DEATH to him? Just because he doesn't cater to YOUR tastes? Has anyone wishing him harm really thought this through?
Sheesh!

It's a disgruntled boyfriend/husband of a women who got a backstage pass to a poison show and was friendly with brett that night.
This whole thing is pretty messed up. Hope they catch the guy.

...... would this happen in any other western country? is L.A. really that crazy that dudes get shot at whilst on their tour bus????? DAMN! (just find it strange as if that were to happen here in australia there would be a massive investigation) i personaly think poision blows but unless he has commited some sort of hidious crime no one deserves that kind of treatment .... the guy must be absolutley shitting his pants everytime he goes out! hope they find the guy! or girl for that matter!

What I don't get is where Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch learned to shot? Wouldn't you just go trigger happy on that suckerdick? I thought guns can shoot at least six rounds and there should of been plenty of time to unload six rounds. I mean face it who would be afraid to pull the trigger on Bret Michaels? Learn from Nathan Gails or Kennedy. I'm putting my money on Axl Rose.

You talk shit. You eat shit. And you fucking suck shit.
How can so many people get all bent out of shape cause they hate 80's "Hair Bands". Its bands like Cinderella, Poison and Tesla that go on tour and give a hell of a lot back for peoples money. Say than some of the metal bands from the same era like Iron Maiden or Metallica that just come out on tour, sound like shit live, throw their little tempers around, and leave. I don't see the point, other than those are the bands that want your money and don't give a fuck how you feel about it. On the other hand I have seen a lot of 80's hair bands the past few years and always leave the shows, feeling like I had a good fucking time. Just an opinion. I got nothing against Iron Maiden anyway. Love their music, but they don't sound so great live. Whatever.

why the hell does every1 wish bret was dead!? if u dont like his music (but i cant see how any1 couldnt love it) just dont buy the CDs, dont shoot him or wish something bad would happen to him!! this isnt funny, how would u like it if some1 shot @ u?? and what kind of a sick moron would write some thing like this: "What a glam turd. Someone should put strychnine in his insuline." U FUCKIN ASSHOLE!!!! if his music is so aweful then how come Poison's still selling tickets across the country after 20 years!?!? i went to see them last saturday and they sounded as great as ever. for all u people who think hair metal sucks and prefer more of a thrash sound (hair and thrash both rule in my book) look at dimebag darrell (R.I.P)!! many people still loved his music!! or john lennon (R.I.P)!!! i hope whoever was shooting at bret michaels is caught and put behind bars forever!!!!!! rock on bret!!!!!!!!!!!!!
