BRET MICHAELS Says NIKKI SIXX Apologized For Derogatory Comments MTLEY CRE Made About POISON

May 12, 2011

Ed Masley of The Arizona Republic recently conducted an interview with POISON singer Bret Michaels. An excerpt from the chat follows below.

The Arizona Republic: Are you looking forward to the MTLEY CRE tour?

Bret: There was a lot of controversy between MTLEY CRE and POISON, just some comments they had made about how "We're not gonna do that kind of tour." I had said something on stage, like "Wouldn't it be awesome if for POISON's 25th anniversary and MTLEY CRE's 30th, for there to be a tour we did together?" And a couple of the members of their band made some pretty derogatory comments. I just said, "The hell with it. I'm gonna do my own tour." Then, Nikki [Sixx, MTLEY CRE bassist] said, "I'm really sorry about some of the comments some of the members made. I really want to do this." So I think it's gonna be a great tour.

The Arizona Republic: How have the members of POISON been getting along?

Bret: You couldn't put four more different people in a room and try to make a band, so when that chemistry is on and it works, it's unbelievably great. There's just this fire and this energy. And when it goes bad, it goes horribly bad. We've had knock-down drag-out fistfights on stage. But now? Today? Even though we still have four completely different personalities, I think we're getting along a lot better.
