Hi everyone. This is a new section on my site that I have thought about for a long time. Just didn't think I had enough material for it. But, I guess I was wrong hehe(as usual). If you have any special quotes you would like me to put up here. Please e-mail them to me :)
These quotes are not like other quotes. Most quotes are mostly short lines. But here I "quote" what they have said about different things. So, for now. Take care, and may Poison be with you....always!!!!

BRET ABOUT:
LOOK WHAT THE CAT DRAGGED IN!
"Look What The Cat Dragged In was like losing your virginity. It was your first sexual experience and you'll never forget it---but hopefully it wasn't your last"
OPEN UP AND SAY ...AHH!!!
"It's like the new improved version of the last, new and improved version"
THE FANS!
"From day one, we've had the most loyal fans in the world. They put us on the map. They voted us into office. They know that whenever they see us, they'll get honest entertainment"
HIS ARRESTS!
"I was swarmed by a group of fans in a parking lot in Atlanta. They were your typical crazy POISON fans---God bless them. They jumped on top of the hood of someone's car in order to get closer to me, along the way crushing the car. So I got slapped with the charge. As for the other arrest, it had to do with a
THE LYRICS FOR "EVERY ROSE HAS ITS THORN" !
"I wrote the lyrics to the song on our first tour in the laundry room of some prostitute hotel in Dallas that we were staying at. I had just lost a girlfriend I'd been with for some 12 years and I was emotionally messed up. It's the hardest song for me to sing onstage. It brings up the great times and the bad times."
C.C. DEVILLE!
"C.C. and I are very headstrong. We'll fight over melodies and stuff like that. While making "Look What The Cat Dragged In" , C.C. stormed out and didn't return for 3 days. Everyone's emotions were red hot and wired.
"FALLEN ANGEL"!
"A tribute to the unfortunate people who are chewed up an spit out by the con artists in Hollywood."
POISON AND LIFE!
"We never feel like were going through the motions or that we're entrapped by the road or any of that bull. Every day is a misadventure with us. I don't wanna watch life pass me by. I always check the rear view mirror and watch life try to catch up to me"
RIKKI ABOUT:
THE FANS!
"We're real people--we're still fans ourselves. We pay money to see other band, so we know what the kids want to see. They know they'll get excitment at our shows--not highbrow art. We don't make art...we makes hamburgers!"
WHY HE IS A DRUMMER
"Basically, I'm out of my fucking mind. I'm a drummer. I hit things for a living. That's a sign of a disturbed individual"
POISON AND THEIR MUSIC!
"Heavy metal cha cha, syncopated noise deluxe. We never formulated our music. It happened by accident. We're products of the music we were influenced by--bands like the New York Dolls and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
BOBBY ABOUT:
THE RECORD COMPANIES!
"They never thought about us long enough to hate us.
"LOOK WHAT THE CAT" AND "OPEN UP!"
"The first record was a good one, but it was only the first one. We've learned alot since then, and it's all here.
BEING ON THE ROAD!
"You read so many articles about bands and how tired and miserable they are on the road.
C.C. ABOUT:
POISON!
"It seems like we're an over night success. But the band was touring in a van backed by our own money even before the first album came out just to get a vibe going. We've never taken no for an answer--when some people said 'No, you can't do it', we did it anyway. That's us"
"I want this thing to grow and grow. The ultimate goal is for this to be my life for a long time.
strange sexual misadventure"
(If the version in rock'n'roll comics is right then everyone that has read their Poisonstory knows what it was about. Poor guy)
Hey, I've never learned anything from anyone who constantly agreed with me anyway. Creative tension is what binds musicians."
It was great when the Sex Pistols came along and trashed everything, including the gap that existed between fans and musicians.
POISON wants to be larger then life, but down to earth at the same time. I mean.
We talk to our fans."
But, then, maybee we shouldn't have let C.C. represent us..."
The first record was the invitation---this one's the party!"
It's like 'Man, give me your fuckin' tour bus and get off the highway'"
(In another word, this guy must just love to be on the road :) )
I want POISON to go on and on"
