Rikki Rockett Gets New Kit For Poison Tour

Rikki Rockett is unveiling a new drum kit, just in time for the upcoming Poison tour this summer. More important than the drum kit is that Rikki looks great and he's 1 year cancer free. Enjoy the video below.

And, two (2) deeper tracks each from LWTCDI, OUASA, F&B, CAS, Hollyweird for the set list:

BTW, Bret Michaels sole often plays Cry Tough and I Want Action.

Without further adieu...

Want Some, Need Some
Let me go to the show

Back to the rocking horse
Look but you can't touch

Let it play
Come hell or high water

Cover of a Rolling Stone
Lay your body down (instead of every rose)

Livin' in the now (And cue it by telling the audience to put down their fucking camera phones)

Life loves a tragedy my favorite Poison song ever would love to hear that live.

[Steverox]

Very nice kit indeed.

Regarding the setlist, we're 9 days away from knowing! As much as I would also love to hear some deeper tracks (Face the Hangman, anyone?), I'm resigned to the fact it likely won't happen. Maybe one song if we're lucky.

Reasons are that 1) they're the opening band, so I'm only expecting an hour show. 2) That means we'll get 11-12 songs, including solo's if they stick to that (which they will). 3) I think Brett can't play more than an hour due to his medical situation.

I'm guessing the setlists from Bret's solo shows are going to be very close to what we'll see this summer, with the exception of "Sweet Home Alabama" and the awful "Girls on Bars". They've already said they're going to be playing the "hits", so that's a good sign right there.

I totally agree that the covers MUST go because it's such a waste to hear "Squeezebox" or "What I like about you" (or even "Mama Don't Dance") when instead we could be hearing "Love on the Rocks" or "#1 Bad Boy".

Anyway, my dream setlist would have been to open with Cat, then the Open Up album front to back, then finish with Unskinny Bop and Dirty. One can dream! Of course, the entire Cat album would be just fine as well. But I know I'm guaranteed to hear my favorite Poison song - Fallen Angel - so that is a good thing!

Fallen Angel guitar intro is my text notification.

Steverox, Im with you buddy!

[fletch]

Steverox: I hear ya buddy. Face the hangman is a lost gem. Another song that I would put into that category is Stupid, Stoned and Dumb.

sidebar: if you're not a "TRUE" poison fan, you won't got it.

second sidebar: I wrote the first sidebar above, because I also got kicked off of Tom Keifer's website. The exchange went like this:

Fletch: Tom, why don't you mix it up more and play some of your deeper tracks in concert.

Some random poster: Fetch, you're not a true fan if you think that way.

Fletch: I'm just giving some advice. I mean no harm.

Posters left and right started posting, "Not a true fan, etc...

Fletch lashed out: "Fuck you and all of that mentality you cunts. You truly believe that I'm "not" a "true" fan? If you think that way...keep sucking his nut sack.

Then, I got banned. Still to this day, I am not allowed to post on his facebook page. I've been told that it's not Tom, but his manager; but I'll call bullshit when I see it.

My Dream Setlist Would Be This:

Cry Tough
Livin For The Minute
No More Lookin Back
Get Ya Some
Sexual Thing
Ain't That The Truth
I Hate Every Bone In Your Body But Mine
Face The Hangman
Unskinny Bop
Bad To Be Good

Lol Fletch, I feel your pain!! Been banned from a few myself for asking a fairly decent question and getting bitch slapped by a ton of so called "fans" then just getting straight out banned! It's just so controlled now that anything slightly negative can just be deleted before anybody see's it (Some Youtube comments for example) can be filtered to make anybody look fabulous!! I wonder sometimes why certain bands or artist don't do certain songs, it's to the point that they just play the hits and "Good evening, drive safe", done.

[fletch]

Darkt: you seem to be 'in the know'

just a quick question; yes or know

On Hollywierd, when bret was in the studio recording emperor's new clothes...what he channeling david lee roth.

can she suck the trailer hitch...

[Darktown]

Hahaaa, wow what a 360 from anything even close to a poison song, UGH! (Not that familiar with the whole album, I call it the squeeze box album) Personally if you can pull it off channeling DLR I'm all for it, lol. DLR had set the bar very high and of course everybody wanted to be him. At one time I thought maybe Marq Torien was pretty close to pulling it off, not sure how he is now but he was a huge asshole back after smooth up came out, at least the couple times I met him, he might be different now??!! (Sorry Marq!!) Aside from that nonsense, I truly like your set list, they should use it!!

[fletch]

dk: read the lyrics, not the bar, on emperor's new clothes. Marq! was that your cunt ass that treated me and cathy so shitty? sorry, next time...be nicer homo.

[Steverox]

SPOILER ALERT!

Setlist from tonight posted on setlist.fm. No surprises unfortunately (disappointing). If they would just switch out those 2 covers with some deeper cuts this would work!

C.C. DeVille Guitar Solo

[fletch]

fuck you Rikki, nikki, bret and the rest of you who don't do it each and every single day.

[fletch]

Vickie Moyer! Oh gosh, tell me again how the state is paying to have me lug out furniture from Confront on 12th and FTS.

[fletch]

Vicky: perhaps, maybe, stop sucking nikki's ball sack. just posting. I mean no harm.

[fletch]

seriously, vik...no harm intended. But, if you took it differently...well, then, that's on you. #ann@confront.

you see nik, the static wasn't internal. It was your staff.

Vickie: do you realize how much f*cked up sh*t she said to me and my colleagues? I didn't think so.
