Hi all. I was thinking. You know the rockin' roundups that they have in Metal Edge.Poison are always included in those questions so I thought I was gonna put up all the questions and answers that I can get my hands on from Poison:)
So here we go:
November 98:
Question: What was the wildest party you went to or gave?
Answers: BRET: For me every rose truly does have its thorn. The wildest party, or parties, would be at the Poison Playpen. Every night it amazes me the shit that people will do
after being all amped up after a Poison concert. However, the one that scared the shit out of me was in the summer of '93. On the Native Tongue Tour I threw a (tour)bus party for the band and crew and one of our female guests had an accidental overdose, right in the back
lounge of the bus. So of course we called the ambulance. And with the ambulance came the police, who wanted to grill us all for info. But I didn't care....all we wanted at that point was to make sure she was all right so we took the bus and followed the ambulance to the hospital
where she was received. And to this day she remains a good friend of mine. February 99: Question:What other names did you concider for your band?
Answers: BRET: The kids, Spectres we had at one point, Wild Child. We went through a long list and some were really bad but Poison just stuck!
June 99: Question:What did you do with your first Rock'n'roll Paycheck?
Answers: BRET: It was $44, a royalty from Look What The Cat Dragged In when we were still on Enigma,'85, '86, and I spent it trying to make payments on a really bad Porsche that I bought that just sucked. It was the worst fucking car. A 924 Porsche, but it was basically a
Volkswagen engine and two rubber bands. It looked cool. I thought,'Chicks are gonna love me'. But the battery...if you turned it off it didn't run again for like six days and noone knew why. I bought it for just under 10 grand and sold it for $560 to a junkyard six months later. It broke down on the corner of Franklin and Highland
in the middle of the intersection. I had to push it into the parking lot. I opened the phone book and saw 'we'll pay to get your car' and I got $560 on the spot.
RIKKI:
Bought clothes, sticks and an apartment
July 99:
Question: What was your most traumatic childhood experience?
Answers:
BRET:
I had alot of them... We had a German Shepherd named Tark that I loved, but he was a mix of Shepherd and wolf and he ripped up everything in the house and one day he bit one of the neighborhood kids so it was either put him to sleep or give him away. We went to a farm and gave him away. It was traumatic letting go. RIKKI:
When I got hit with a stray firework on the 4th on City Island in Harrisburg(Pennsylvania). It sent me hurling down a cement embankment that I was sitting on. Friends thought I was joking around and laughed. I tried to hold on and the relief of the cement tore several holes on the ends of my fingers and the side of my face as I cascaded
down the ravine into the water
This one I got from "LadyPoison":
Question: Where's the most unusual place you've had sex? Answers:
BRET: My bed. I am use to washers and dryers!
