BRET MICHAELS Says He Was 'On The Fence Between' SLASH And C.C. DEVILLE When They Both Auditioned For POISON
Back in 2017, Rockett was asked by the "Decibel Geek" podcast how Slash came to audition for the guitarist slot in POISON prior to joining GUNS N' ROSES. "Slash we had known," Rikki said. "'Cause he was in HOLLYWOOD ROSE… So Bret and I liked him; we all liked him. And he came and worked on some songs with us, but we continued to audition people even though he was a frontrunner… We didn't want, like, a hotshot Yngwie [Malmsteen-type] guy. We didn't want that. We wanted a rock, East Coast guy. And then C.C. auditioned, and he just made more sense than Slash did. So it was a tough decision, because we all liked Slash. Slash was really pissed off about it. He was pissed. He was, like, 'What the fuck, you guys?'… So there was that rivalry between GUNS N' ROSES and POISON because of that, I think, for a long time, you know? And that's long gone. I see Slash and we're totally cool, you know what I mean?"
Slash spoke about his POISON audition during a 2010 interview with Classic Rock Revisited. He said: "I was living in L.A. and I had just gotten done working in a band with Axl, actually, called HOLLYWOOD ROSE. Steven Adler was in that band as well. I just quit. I told Axl I couldn’t handle it anymore and I walked. That was right after the first time Axl and I ever worked together. Matt, the original guitar player for POISON, who was actually a pretty cool guy, had gotten his wife pregnant or they were getting married or something like that. He was moving back to Pennsylvania. He goes, 'You should try out for POISON.' I hated POISON but in those days you did whatever you had to do to keep moving. Being very ambitious, as I was, I went and auditioned for POISON. I ended up being one of two guitar players left that they were going to pick from. I remember kicking the shit out of the songs they had. There was no denying that I could play them but there was an issue about makeup and stuff. Bobby Dall asked me what kind of shoes I was going to wear. I was, like, 'What?' It was kind of obvious that this was going to go nowhere. As I was walking out of the audition, C.C. DeVille was walking in. He had on pancake makeup and a ton of hairspray. I actually remember thinking right then, 'That should be the guy.' The next day I got a call from Bobby and he said, 'You know, you are great and all but I think we are going to pass on you and go with this other guy.' It was C.C. and it really did make all the sense in the world. I was in a couple of bands after that and then we started GUNS N' ROSES."
POISON has sold over 50 million records worldwide, releasing eight studio albums, four live albums, and four compilations. The band has charted 10 singles on the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, including six Top 10 singles and one Hot 100 number-one smash hit, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn".
POISON's reunited classic lineup — Rockett, Michaels, Dall and DeVille — completed "The Stadium Tour" with MÖTLEY CRÜE, DEF LEPPARD and JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS in 2022. The trek was originally scheduled to take place in the summer of 2020 but ended up being pushed back to 2021, and then to 2022, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Группа с порога невзлюбила ДеВилля, и после шести лет разнообразных выходок (с Майклзом и Доллом гитарист пиздился регулярно) наступила кульминация. На церемонии вручения наград MTV он, будучи угашенным в хлам, сыграл не ту песню, после чего за кулисами состоялся очередной мордобой с вокалистом.
В итоге ДеВилль был выставлен на мороз.
Poison (после отдыха в наркодиспансере) наняли мастеровитого Ричи Котцена и записали с ним вполне солидный, более блюзовый альбом (получивший "золото" в Штатах и вообще засветившийся в чартах многих стран - и это в 93-то году, когда основная масса глэммеров была выпизжена гранджем на перманентные стадионные гастроли по Южной Америке и Юго-Восточной Азии).
Но и тут вышел облом - новый гитарист Котцен начал потрахивать невесту барабанщика Рикки Рокетта, за что и получил пинок под зад из группы. А через несколько лет Майклз помирился с ДеВиллем, и с тех пор в их лагере всё стабильно.
Только теперь они, похоже, чисто ностальгический проект, т.к. последний альбом вышел аж 18 лет назад.
Достаточно посмотреть на обложку Poison-овского первого альбома, и на облогу Appetite For Destruction чтобы всё встало на свои места.
Сделай уже каминг-аут и успокойся, корпси, а то у тебя скоро дым из ушей повалит от давления латентных фантазий. -))
