June 8, 2010

Collector's Guide Publishing, Inc. recently released "A Shot Of Poison: An Insider's Tales Of One Of Rock's Most Outrageous Bands".

"Underscoring life on the road, backstage, and in the studio throughout the last 20 years, this biography paints a vivid portrait of the multiplatinum rock band POISON," according to the book's official description. "Based on amazing personal experiences and encounters, this striking recollection spins tales of rivalry within the group, drug use, and private recording sessions, revealing a side of the legendary act that will shock and intrigue even their most faithful followers. Proving they were just as vulnerable to the common pitfalls of most successful musicians, this investigation discloses a variety of private issues, from Bret Michaels' reclusive behavior and the group's possessive — and often psychotic — fans to their constant competition for the spotlight, notoriety, and women. A review of drummer Rikki Rockett's highly publicized 2008 arrest — taken from an exclusive interview with Rockett himself — is also included."

About the author: Christopher Long is a writer who has had his work featured in Brevard Live magazine, the Buzz, Jam, and on the online music magazine site Ink19.com. He lives in Palm Bay, Florida.
