Poison Drummer Discusses Possibilities of Recording New Album


Poison Rikki Rockett, drummer of Hair Metal outfit, Poison, said in an interview with The Aquarian Weekly, that while there aren’t any immediate plans for the band write and record a new album, he would “love that, of course...I am always the guy that wants to get in the studio. I have a studio at home. I would be the last person anyone would have to talk into doing it, but at this point, there aren't any plans."

Rockett also spoke about POISON getting back on stage for its first headlining tour in a decade. "I don't know if it has been ten years exactly but it has been a hot minute, that's for sure," he said. "I am looking forward to having a little more time to play the songs we ordinarily don't get the chance to play. The conundrum you have as a band that has several records and has been around for a while is that fans want deep tracks and you want to play deep tracks but then you also have a chunk of fans that want the hits. Thank God we have enough hits to fill a time slot, but it also makes the situation where it's, like, what do you throw in? You have to get those songs in so it makes it challenging. When we headline, we have more time up there so we can play more songs. I'm looking forward to playing 'Cry Tough' and things we don't ordinarily get to."
