A Summer of Poison with VH1
Do you miss the great sound of 80s hair bands? Can you just not get enough of long haired lead singers in tight pants? Well, VH1 has got the answer for you this summer. Hot on the heels of Poison guitar guru CC Deville appearing on The Surreal Life comes a summer of Poison for your viewing pleasure.
First and foremost, the band is back together and will embark on a 50 city tour this summer after the release of their new album “Poison’d” set to drop on June 5th. It’s their first studio album together in quite some time and will be an album of covers. They will be joined on tour by RATT and White Lion. To find a city near you, check out their tour schedule.
VH1 will bring you not one, but TWO Poison related shows set to air this summer. Remember that Poison tribute band called “Posin’” that CC Deville and the rest of the Surreal Life cast competed against in their Battle of the Bands challenge? Well, Posin’ now has a show of their own. The reality show/rock doc will follow the tribute band on the road and show all of the behind the scenes craziness and drama that comes with the gig.
Last, but certainly not least, Poison front man Bret Michaels is set to star in his own “Flavor of Love” style show where he will choose from a bevy of beauties to find true love. The promos for “Rock of Love” are now airing during VH1’s CelebReality shows. Blabbermouth.net posted the following quote by the show’s producers who promise this is the craziest show they’ve ever made:
This reality series showcases everything from, full contact lingerie mud football, super cross wrecks, tattoos, nakedness, Harleys and, of course, babes. There are full-on fist fights and nervous breakdowns to boot.
Sounds like fun to me! The premiere date is July 15th. Which Poison related event are you most looking forward to? Let me know in the comments section.
