Starting point is 00:04:09 You know when I was discovering all that stuff man. Jesus christ backing your days in pennsylvania. Yeah, yeah This all started in pennsylvania like I thought You know if you when you meet somebody and you see that music and you watch the videos over the years you go Okay, this is done on the sunset strip Ricky's from fucking orange county The other guy the singer is from fucking san francisco and the guitar player from san diego And when I read about you i'm like these fucking guys are from pittsburgh Cc's from brooklyn
Starting point is 00:04:40 The final list for the guitar player was between him slash and some other fucking monster Guys went with cc. You know, yeah, just uh, just a phenomenal story Millions of fucking records all over the world world tours And now You know, this is all 86 through 92 whatever The the the the heart of glam rock Even even longer 90 for a little longer and then all of a sudden here you are 2017 Well, here's the thing, you know back in in pa
Starting point is 00:05:12 We we're pretty young guys when we put this band together, you know 1920 21 years old and It was hard to play bars. I mean they didn't you know, we even if we could get in the door and play That the the generation that was Frequenting bars were older You know what I mean? They were 25 30 35, you know what i'm saying? And you know, so we're appealing to kids. So that's when we you know We would play marilin because the drinking age was only 18 in marilin at the time So we did a lot of shows in marilin
Starting point is 00:05:48 But then we're like, well, we can't just play those same couple of clubs over and over again So we started to rent v v a blah. Let me try this in english v f w halls Skating rinks promote our own concerts You know what I mean? And it would be all ages and we you know, and then We finally I mean we had just done everything that we could do back there out here was where hard rock was happening It was where motley crew rat Keel, I mean all those bands were you know, I'm saying and so it made sense to come here It made sense to come here new york
Starting point is 00:06:22 Was not fertile for it that was still wrapped up in the whole new wave scene, which was fine That's just not what we were doing and philly was like vocal bands and it really wasn't a rock scene too much I mean arguably cinderella came out of there, but But out here was where we needed to be and so we moved out here in march of 84 I mean we had like 2500 bucks between the four of us And we just came out and went for it. We're figuring if we're gonna sleep on the sidewalk at least it'll be warm And the one guy couldn't take it the guitar player so he got yeah, he got his girl knocked up and you know, it just wasn't his It just wasn't jealous all the way. You know what I mean? Like he he's a super good guy. I talked to him once in a great while
Starting point is 00:07:12 And he a really great guitar player and I mean he went through all those clubs with us in the early days and really helped poison be what it is but um Invariably, it just wasn't the life for him. He did not like The late nights and I mean we loved to party. You know what I mean? I mean we We were just all up in it We'd love to go out every single night party till two in the morning come back Change into a pair of jeans and then go out and put flyers up all over town And then sleep till noon and then rehearse and then do the same thing over again
Starting point is 00:07:46 And that's what we did. We just worked work This is what you got to LA or when you was still in pennsylvania. Well in pennsylvania We do we had jobs back in pennsylvania out here. We made this our full-time job We did dumb shit like sell pencils for you know, you know on the phone. Yeah, I did all that shit Yeah, but uh, but as far as like, I mean we just made it our full time And then we'd go to like covena west covena and places like that and play cover songs We were a band that were we were reared on playing cover songs You have to do that back east and then you slip in some original material out here
Starting point is 00:08:20 It is an original circuit. You come out and you play all original material So we're like, how are we going to make money? So we go to the outskirts of los angeles or Even different like arizona and and play bars that we could play cover songs Just what we did in pa and we'd make money that way and then we'd put it back into our flyers and and our promotion and you know Uh, we worked really really really hard. I mean we were like the kind of guys that Um, if we all worked at the same restaurant, we would have owned it in a couple years I mean, we just had it hair up our ass. We were on fire, you know And we were determined really really really determined. What was the first club you got into here on the uh, the first place
Starting point is 00:09:04 We ever played was madame wong's west. That's out there no more. It's not there anymore. It's gone. Yeah And who wouldn't like you you it was you guys motley crew Who was well motley crew was already signed they had played the you us festival I mean they were well on their way. They were a couple albums in by the time That's right Motley crew did do us because shot with the devil came out 83 84. Yeah. Yeah, we moved out here in march of 84 So, yeah, they they definitely had uh, we're ahead of of us and uh in rat And when we got here, they said, you know
Starting point is 00:09:41 It it was like You know, we were being told that that music is getting really really really heavy That's where it's going and if we were gonna do anything we had to go really heavy And we weren't we were a rock and roll band. I mean, we were like part aerosmith part van halen part kiss part You know, whatever, you know, we had all those roots and and we like playing rock and roll songs Influences growing up So much stuff god so much stuff. I mean everything from from zeppelin to motha hoopel to Everything in between my first concert my first concert believe it or not was her baubert and the teowanna brass
Starting point is 00:10:17 All right at the allentown fair Um, so I love all kinds of music, you know, and my dad was a trumpet player and my mom loved Elvis You know, my sister was a hippie. She was nine years older than me So she had grateful dead going and here I came along, you know, what I mean My first record that I ever bought was deep purple made in japan You know and still to this day highway star and all those songs are just an e and pace is this fucking I mean, what a drummer come on man, and he's still Fucking just takes it to fucking china. We were just wow somebody was on hand
Starting point is 00:10:52 We were just did there when they got back together that video. Oh, yeah I forget what the name of the song was I'll tell you what purple got back. Yeah, something they did something recently not recently a couple years back You know, I feel guilty because I have not kept up with deeper but I saw deep purple at the farm show arena in harrisburg And tommy bowlin was playing guitar for them. It's when blackmore left and tommy bowlin who was
Starting point is 00:11:25 Fucking phenomenal phenomenal. I mean just another level. I gotta say something fucking Richie blackmore has always given me the fucking creeps I can't lie to you. He he kissed me and I've seen him. I saw him. I think twice. I saw him in 82 When rainbow did the scorpions break out black out. Yeah. Yeah, black out. Yeah, I saw I saw that tour And I saw that I saw that tour with judas priest No, yeah, it's because yeah, because I saw all of them. It was the scorpions and them rainbow with Joel and turner who was really joe linguido. Yeah, i'm clifside park, new jersey. Yes. It's so fucking joker turner is a
Starting point is 00:12:06 Hell of a singer though, dude. You know, he's still out there. Yeah, he's still fucking doing it I mean, but did you see where richie blackmore looks like now? I haven't I haven't seen him You know what? I've never wanted to meet him because I've heard stuff about it So i'm like, I don't even you know, I don't try to meet people anymore because I've been let down a few times and I just don't even want to bother if somebody wants to say hi to me I'm open. I'm really an easy guy to get along with But I people left me down man, you know, and I just so I just uh, like people you looked up to Over the years you went up to earlier. We were talking about jujitsu people versus musicians
Starting point is 00:12:44 Musicians drive me nuts jujitsu people are solid You know So if somebody's a musician and a jujitsu person, they're usually fairly solid because the jujitsu part takes over that asshole musician part So we have we have we have 20 mutual friends, but the main one is john john Salami is his family and I love john. He's uh, he's he's a misunderstood person. Let me tell you something He's a great. He's a very very creative professional. It's a bad motherfucker. I love him with all my heart I torment him three days a week. I call him names today. I called him at six in the morning, you know, I torment him And uh, he gave me for a birthday present
Starting point is 00:13:27 He gave me chateau seminar at uh, and that's the first time I saw you on the mat and I mean, I was struggling. I was embarrassed to be there. I even popped Like uh, the shroom technique I popped two of them. So that made my heart even worse Like I was really struggling with jujitsu and there's dan and asanto There's you You know your professor now, you know, just the fact that you put me in the same sentence with danie and asano. It was pretty amazing I was I was dying because he gets put in the same sentences bruce lee. So I don't even know how I deserved no
Starting point is 00:14:04 but it was weird because Here I was, you know a thousand pounds overweight And people were coming up to me going. Hey, put your foot here Dude, everybody came over and said you're doing this. You're a big guy. Do this, you know And I left there like embarrassed but at the same time I felt good, but You were great. Like you said something to me about my heart arm put your arm here Over here. You'll get more leverage. I never forgot that. Oh and then two weeks later. I walk into an airport
Starting point is 00:14:35 And who's sitting there like a lonely person but ricky rocket And I go up to you. I don't know if you remember me from the seminar. We were delayed. Yeah. Yeah 11 hours We got delayed because there was a thunderstorm. We landed in fucking We had to do an emergency landing In uh somewhere in oklahoma. Yeah, then they flew us into dallas. Yeah, and in dallas I caught I lost you at the airport. Right every man for himself. I love you ricky rocket, but every man for himself We got to get to hell And I lost you
Starting point is 00:15:08 Because we were all switching flights and we didn't know if we had to spend the night in dallas and Yeah, I remember that now. Yep. Yeah, and I remember telling chan. I go. Can you believe I see him at the seminar? I see him two weeks later. He's the nicest fucking guy in the world and in higgin. You mentioned higgin. I love I love higgin Higgin, you know, I've always said this. I you know, what what doesn't What doesn't kill you makes you stronger except higgin. He'll just kill you. He'll just kill you. Yeah But no, I love a man. He's just uh, he's just such a Free spirit. I mean, you know, it's like and he could have to me He could have been a heavyweight ufc champ if he would have wanted to do that in his life
Starting point is 00:15:50 I mean, what's he like 200 to one defeats or something like that? Like something ridiculous How do you submit people from this side control? He's 16 guys in one day in one tournament He he got submitted by the way One day he submitted he submitted 16 guys I took the title. He's gone into sombo championships and won sombo championships I mean, he's incredible. I'm in and all the machado brothers have done that stuff You know, that was the you know, they all around the world. They were doing that stuff. Who does nothing but Brazilian jujitsu and then goes into sombo and wins against a guy that's done nothing but sombo
Starting point is 00:16:32 I mean, he got to be a special kind of athlete, you know to do that It's amazing. It's his resume is incredible and all those guys I mean hicks on all those guys were doing that stuff They were just we're going to rule the world. I mean that was and they did You know, you started Uh, 2000 what we're discussing this. Yeah, and it's funny because I'm not here to break your balls break anybody's balls but uh the members of
Starting point is 00:17:01 Poison now there was an original name before you came out here. Yes. What was that paris paris? And then when you came out here, you're like, we don't need from fucking paris. Yeah, we're fucking poison cocksuckers It's it's it's so funny how the members from uh You know your band Used to get into fista cops or one another. Yeah, like in 91 of the mtv music awards. I figured One day ricky rapping said, you know what before shit goes to ricky rock and said before shit gets deep I'm gonna get the martial arts just in case
Starting point is 00:17:35 Things come over here. I could fuck people up and not feel guilty So you joined because you know, there was how many fights were there? Yeah, there was always but you know what most of the time we're on each other's sides We at the beginning I always tell people this at the beginning of our career for the first even five years People didn't know what to make of us. They wanted to either fuck us or fight us I mean when we went into a town literally We got in so many fights and our record company Didn't know how to deal with it. They suppressed everything guns and roses. They would they you know, they just
Starting point is 00:18:11 Argued with somebody and they put it in the press us our record company Put everything and maybe it was for the best. Who knows but But the reason I got into martial arts seriously I mean I always loved Bruce Lee and that stuff, but when I came out here We had a scenario where Uh, a guy tried to stab me and a guy with a with a Bumper off of a Volkswagen tried to stick bobby doll right on the street And on washington boulevard and la right right down here
Starting point is 00:18:41 Yeah, and I thought I was gonna die that night and I swore to myself I'm gonna learn how to Defend against a knife because I could have died if a cop wouldn't have come around the corner and they saw the cop That wouldn't have happened the guy would have stuck me and he was fucked up his eyes. Well, I mean he looked like I mean he was gonna He was gonna get me And I got I got freaked out just thinking about it because I didn't know anything really back then I mean I took a couple karate classes and I wrestled in school
Starting point is 00:19:12 But I wasn't gonna beat a guy with a knife who was on drugs. That wasn't gonna happen um And who knows I might not now either but um But I'd have a fighting chance now But then I was just like, you know right at that moment. I made that decision I'm gonna learn something so when I did have some money and some time I I went after uh cast magda Who was danny and asano's assistant for years 15 years
Starting point is 00:19:42 jkd guy bruce lee's stuff Filipino martial arts sea lot moi tai had that mix of martial arts A lot of knife fighting. That's what I went for so for five years. I did knife fighting stick fighting all that kind of stuff and then there was I'm telling you my Martial arts. No, I want to hear and then there was a guy that came in and did a seminar with harry mar Let me try that one more time harry mal sea lot And it's a sort of a ground game type of sea lot and I went that put me in touch with my wrestling background a little bit
Starting point is 00:20:18 And then I saw holly's grazey in the ufc And I went look at this. This is coming around full circle It isn't just about standing up and striking I mean, I feel comfortable when I clench I feel comfortable when I'm on the ground more than when I'm not What am I doing trying to just strike, you know what I mean? And uh, so when I got the opportunity to go to the machado brother school Uh, I thought I'd do fine. I got tapped out 14 times that day
Starting point is 00:20:48 I remember it like it was yesterday and I went this is where I need to be And I mean, I just never looked back. I was 17 years ago My first private that I ever did was with john jock And uh, and then I started to train with anato. Um, and anato magno And then I do the regular classes and then sometimes I do privates and then sometimes I do regular classes And I did a combination of both all the way and still I still do it that way I still do privates, you know And I still do group class. It just depends on my time, you know, I mean and now I'm even busier than I was then
Starting point is 00:21:26 Oddly enough, I'm semi retired rock musician and I have less time than I did then but That's how it goes, right when you retire. Yeah And you have children and you were divorced and remarried and I mean you went through The last couple years after I saw you on that flight like Your life changed dramatically one day. You got those. Yes. How did you feel when we're talking about the rape? Alligation, right? Yeah back in we played we would be Oh, god, we'd be dead like if you would have you know what did people need to like We'll get to that a second. What a weird fucking story
Starting point is 00:22:04 It was very weird and to this day. I don't completely understand who this person really truly was. I know Quite a bit about her from the private investigator, but um, okay. So what happened was we did, uh, new zealand Auckland, New Zealand or not Auckland Wellington, New Zealand and it was called rock to Wellington a big festival over there We played that and it's like a 14. I mean, it's like a two hour drive to get to the airport It's 14 hour drive a flight and that you know, I mean, it's like it kills you, right? And I remember Zach I sat with Zach Wilde And um, he got drunk past alpha
Starting point is 00:22:42 As he should but we're in line, right at la ox when we got off to get Our bags, right? And a guy came up and said I I need to see you. I need to take you to the front here And Zach goes, whoa, it looks like somebody's tour manager pulled a favor and I'm like, yeah, that's cool Well, I got to go to the front of the line Well, they took me in a room and handcuffed me and I went What what is this about for two hours? They would not tell me what was going on And I had one hand on my cell phone. I'm texting my tour manager until they took it from me
Starting point is 00:23:15 But at least I eked out a text to him, right? And so he came Try to figure out what was going on and they said la or la pd We'll we'll talk to you when you get here. Have you been in any problems with anybody and blah, blah, blah And I'm like, well, I got an argument with somebody No, I don't know um The police came and started to question me. Have you had A situation with somebody and I said, well, I had
Starting point is 00:23:47 A former partner uh that I was in the drum business with and we got it had some words at nam and he goes, no, no, no This is criminal Mr. You're under arrest for rape and I'm like what I'm like, this is some kind of fucking joke like you're married at this time. You're no I was engaged Okay, you're engaged and I mean I'm looking around for cameras like I'm seriously thinking I'm getting fucked with you know what I mean like I mean, I didn't you know And uh, so they they took me in they started asking me a bunch of questions
Starting point is 00:24:19 Uh, and I didn't know how to answer most of them because I really seriously didn't know what the fuck was going on I really didn't and they asked me. They said, what names have you gone by aliases? And uh, I said, well, um, you know, I've gone by a bunch of dumb names dick itches and all kind of stuff You know at hotels and he goes, what about john mince cough and I went No, I don't know that name, but I remembered it when he said it to me. I was like, why was he cop saying this to me So we got a lawyer lawyer came down I thought they were going to extradite me to mississippi because it turns out that this allegation came out of mississippi Which we had played there once that year
Starting point is 00:24:59 Uh, but a different part of the state we played in and it was in philadelphia mississippi Now if you do some research on philadelphia mississippi, it's where if mississippi burning happened by the way Okay, that's the town. That's the area. Okay for reference Uh, so it's kind of a place it's it's it's uh as it turns out it is a Uh, there's a casino there and it's kind of a destination. You don't just pass by it. You got to like drive to it. You know what I mean? um I've never been there in my life to this casino to this day um
Starting point is 00:25:34 And uh, so I didn't know what they're talking about. I'm like, I don't know what the silver star casino is I don't know who john mincecough is. I don't know so Five o'clock in the morning They cut me loose You know the guy comes to the cops command go You got to get yourself to mississippi and get that straightened out and I'm like, oh my god. I'm getting extradited I'm like, I'm gonna go be in a jail in mississippi like this ain't good and they said no no no
Starting point is 00:26:01 You're out in the fucking street, but you need to take care of your shit and I went Okay, fine. I walk out the door, right? And I'm like now. What do I do? I called my girlfriend She had taken 10 x annex to calm down couldn't drive I'm in the middle of valet somewhere trying to figure out how to get home Anyway, I get home and I start just data mining the name John mincecough Who is john mincecough? I come up with a million thing million things all of a sudden I hit
Starting point is 00:26:30 pay dirt That there was a john mincecough that had been arrested Okay for Telling a 15 year old that he was a photographer for white snake And that he would do the and in one of his interviews after being arrested for it He actually kidnapped the girl for three days. He went to jail Uh for a period of time and he said that him and his friends used to always in
Starting point is 00:26:57 Pretend they were different rock stars to try to get laid Okay, I went bingo. This has got to be the fucking guy Okay, because it ain't me. I didn't rape anybody. I haven't even been to mississippi except for one show Which was not in that part of the state. Like I said, so I told my lawyer right away. I said, there's this guy Okay, and they said, okay, we're gonna look him up in the meantime. You're doing a lie detector test right away And if it's good, we're gonna use the data. We can't use it in court But uh, and if it's bad, we're never gonna talk about it. I said, okay I did the lie detector test which took all day. I've never done anything like that
Starting point is 00:27:33 Guy called my lawyer and said This guy is like flying colors telling the truth. He doesn't know anything about this, you know And so my lawyer was very happy about that because he didn't want to weigh in on it And so then they started to track down this john mince cough guy And we hired a private investigator to go to the silver star casino in Philadelphia, Mississippi and figure out who this person was so The best that we can put it together after all this time was there was a guy that was a piano player
Starting point is 00:28:09 And singer who was playing at that casino Told the girl there that he was me okay And I don't know why I don't play piano. So I don't this is the part I can't put together. Okay, but maybe she was dumb I don't know um But there is video of her going into a room with this guy And then later coming out there was another guy that was in the room too. He walked out. She said that was brett michaels, by the way
Starting point is 00:28:41 Uh, so brett was there apparently to uh, according to this woman And that I ain't only raped her and abused her and all this kind of stuff And she filed three different times by the way And they're doing everything they can and so we ran just the logistics like Like let's pretend that I really wanted to go to Philadelphia, Mississippi find somebody Rape them and fly back to los angeles. Okay, how would all that work? Okay, so we put together this trajectory of that day Okay, uh, and that day by the way, I happened to be with my fiance hoping her pick out wedding dresses Because like we have to sign in at one of these places, right?
Starting point is 00:29:21 So that was too many afternoons. So I would have had to flown all night And driven driven like two hours like it was some ridiculous thing I would have had to go in like get it done and get back on a flight that had no delays And I mean there was like no way you could even do it You know and the district attorney looked at it and said I can't even indict this guy And I'll indict fucking anybody, but I can't indict this guy. It's it's not even possible I'm back to Mississippi at all. I did not have to thank god You were smart
Starting point is 00:29:50 But it took like six weeks for the for the da to get to my case And because he had like murder cases and all this stuff and he's listening to some testimonies Some not woman that was trying to make money basically because what they found out was that she had hired two different civil attorneys because they knew they weren't going to get me on Any real charges because there wasn't anything I didn't do anything. I never mattered in my life But maybe they could twist my arm hard enough that they could get other lawyers to come in and try to get me to just give them shut up money And I said fucking no way. I didn't I've never met this person. I've never been in that part of the state I didn't have anything to do with I've never raped a person in my life
Starting point is 00:30:33 I got nothing to do with this at all. Somebody is stealing my identity And they're the ones that either did it Like actually raped her Or she just came up with this story because her husband got wind of it. Now they're after money I don't know I think because they were in cahoots her and the husband did go to the police together That much I know and I know he filed chapter 11 a couple times. He had a car A car lot used car lot or something like that Um, I so to this day, I still don't know who the girl is. I know her name, but I've never met her
Starting point is 00:31:08 I've never seen what she looks like Um, and I'd never been to that casino and for the life of me why I would get picked and singled out Is beyond me. I was just fucking unlucky. You know what I mean? I think rock of love was on at the time Uh, and Maybe if she would have picked brat, it would have been too obvious because he was right there on the tv So let's pick somebody else from The tv or from the band the same band. I don't know. I mean, this is all guesses I really don't know what her line of thinking was or maybe it was the guy that told her and she believed them
Starting point is 00:31:44 Or maybe it was I don't know I don't know getting crazy crazy off a plane Get pulled over and to be Basically, I mean, you know on the other terms they were to charge you Put you in LA county till Mississippi extra died You know how to go over there and make bail what you wouldn't have a man because I spent every cent I made To pay my lawyer and more. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you know what I mean, man. Um Any other thing was is that uh
Starting point is 00:32:17 um It made it so hard for me because we're getting ready to go overseas to do some other shows too And you know, they don't like you leaving the country when you're under investigation like that I remember I was in, uh, a target looking for Something I don't know and this woman who you could tell She was like my age group somebody that would like poison. You know what I mean? Kind of rock looking and she had a little her little girl with her And I look over and she recognizes who I am and grabs her little girl's hand and
Starting point is 00:32:49 Be lines at the other direction Because she saw me and she heard about that charge That broke my heart more than almost anything To for somebody to actually think that I would do that and to be treated like that, you know what I mean? Because that ain't me. I didn't I do I've never raped anybody. Um, and uh And and and I was uh coming out with my first signature symbol and stores wouldn't carry it and I mean you you are definitely guilty until proven innocent And no and worse now like you said you were starting to talk about it just a second ago
Starting point is 00:33:25 You better fucking believe it nowadays Done done whether it's true or not. No once they read it on print It's fucking true like that's what's crazy about those type allegations That once people it's like have you ever written something about yourself like a book? No, I plan on doing that though. Wait till you write the part of being in pennsylvania And the stuff you and ricky the you and uh breath did and now you hooked up with mike and blah blah blah When you read it Never mind thinking about it. Once you read it. There's times you have to put your pen down taking glasses off and go wow
Starting point is 00:34:04 I can't believe I did that, you know, you just said before about the slapping when you first got here Yeah, who does that shit right people with a dream but a fucking you don't know how You won't know how strong because I'm trying to write a book And there's days I have to take a day off from what I wrote the day before and read Because whatever I thought about it it hit me a little harder once you read it, right sure And that's the problem that we have today that Listen we started, you know, uh the me too part things started a crazy thing now so now guys are walking around scared, you know, women were walking around fucking scared and
Starting point is 00:34:45 There's gonna be a lot of fake allegations in the next couple years Well as it turns out, I mean I I talked to a lot of police and you know, so many rape allegations aren't true to begin with which really sucks For the people that truly have been raped, right? Okay, because you know, they they have it hard enough as it is Trying to come forward. Okay, and the me too thing. I think it's I think it's great but Now people just human nature are going to take advantage of that and try To make a name for themself with it now. I I wouldn't want it if I was a woman
Starting point is 00:35:23 I wouldn't want to be a me too person, you know, unless it really fucking happened to me You know, and I wish these women would realize that when they do that and it's not true They are doing such a disservice to the truly to the people that truly were taken advantage of, you know what I mean Because you know that you shouldn't do that really. I mean Weinstein or what was you know, my say in his name Yeah, um, I mean come on Lee Harvey, you know, yeah The fucking shooter. I mean, you know, I mean, it's you know, come on, you know, he can't get away He shouldn't get away with that shit But you know at the same time people should not be able to get away with faking it either. That's bullshit
Starting point is 00:36:03 You know what I mean God, we're in the fuck. Where is truth in this world anymore? I mean, it's it's just like and I don't like to get I'm very apolitical because Our audience I do not like separating our audience because we have people from all walks of life that like our music And the thing that brings us together is our music Okay, and our love for music our love for a good time and that what that feels like when you When you play or enjoy music together So the last thing I like to do is bring politics into my world because it does nothing but destroy it But like with this march that just happened the thing I like about it more than anything is at least it has people talking about
Starting point is 00:36:43 that subject And what it's done is it's made people show their ass on both sides of the aisle I've seen people on both sides of that argument and I'm sitting there gone Can I cannot believe that you said that? On both sides. I'm like I there's people I only want to be friends with because it It doesn't even matter what the politics are. I'm just sitting there gone. I can't believe you just fucking said that That's how you really feel. How old are your children that right kids, you know mine or uh, I have my girl's five and my boy's eight He'll be nine in a month
Starting point is 00:37:14 I gotta ask you from your heart. Yeah, you worry I've heard I mean my his school was locked down a few weeks ago So I took him dropped him off at school, right and then uh Took my little girl. She goes to a preschool took her to preschool. I get the call Just as I'm getting back in my car From dropping her off. I had to beeline it back to jude school And uh by the time I got there the police were not letting us in not letting them out And I'm sitting there going what the fuck is going on here
Starting point is 00:37:48 You know what I mean and and a lot of parents are freaking out and I'm like look don't freak out They they're they are doing the best job they can do right now I mean you got cops wall to wall here, right? But nobody knew what was going on and they're like why can't they tell us what's going on? I'm like they can't Because as soon as you do that then the criminal changes their story. That's why you know So I get that And but it was so frustrating not to be able to just go fuck it. I can I know that
Starting point is 00:38:20 15 feet away that my little boy's in there and I can just go grab. I'm like, why can't I just go do that right now? You know what I mean? That's a very frustrating feeling but It was all this, you know See monkey see monkey do stuff, you know Somebody else is doing it. They're getting notoriety. Then I'll get notoriety if I do it too What was the cause of the lockdown? It was a kid who's 15 years old. He was one of the older kids, obviously and
Starting point is 00:38:48 He told somebody at school that the next day he was going to come in and shoot up the school And then he didn't show up for school the next day And so they went and looked for him and he wasn't at home It wasn't at home and he hadn't checked into school. So they don't know where he's at, you know what I mean? And so that's where it all came from and I don't know any more than that yet. He's gonna be uh, I know he had to face a judge Probably I think this week actually So we'll see we'll see what his motivation. I mean, uh, maybe he was just kidding. Maybe whatever, but you know people need to realize you cannot Kid about that shit
Starting point is 00:39:26 You know, you have a five year old like I do you're 56 correct? Yeah Jesus you were slinging dick at 51 like yeah Because I had mercy at 50. You know, I knocked my wife up legally at 49 But I had had mercy at 49 and a month late. She's january 8th. I think i'm february 19th You know, sometimes I wonder that like is there should be like, you know, you you shouldn't knock somebody up when you're too young Like should you be a point where you shouldn't knock somebody up when you're old enough? I mean maybe seriously think about I'm gonna be an old guy by the time my kids get out of high school I'm an old guy now
Starting point is 00:40:04 You know, so sometimes I feel bad about thank you. I mean today's america The 55 year old and 60 they're looking 45 I'm an a guy like you trains three times a week And one of the toughest things you could do and you're going at it with renato. Who's no fucking white belt, you know so I believe the same thing too. I When I first came here, I got infactuated with the comedy bug and I forgot about everything even though I came from a martial arts background and lifting weights

I was mumbling stumbling along I think when you're a drummer and you've been playing for two years all of a sudden a band signs you You got to get you got to go from level a to level b Right, but sometimes it takes time and i'm patient. This is what comedy taught me to be patient The whole thing is just keeps showing up. Yeah If you keep going to that man, just keep going you'll get drilled for two years three

Really. It was me. It wasn't ready Um, but um, but I'd like to say that I had didn't meet the right person. I was just trying to Get laid. That's all it was

Look at that Who wouldn't make me wear this? You could come here with a gun

Like what I'm there. She's worried about me like one of my thinking
Starting point is 00:53:02 Yeah, she's trying to appease me and I'm like, don't just worry about your mom and dad You know, I go for a walk. I smoke a joint. I put a night pot on. I'm fucking happy I mean, there's no jiu-jitsu there. But you're married, right married. Yeah, nine years 10 years. Yeah, I've been with her for 17 and I did a movie for next Watson years ago And he called me in like the night before and I said some dirty shit and but my scene was with Don Johnson And him and I got stuck in a room because we'd have to I met him. I met him. Yeah, and he at the time I don't know how old I was But people would congratulate him because he just had a kid and I go
Starting point is 00:53:42 In the back of my mind. Are you creepy selfish motherfucker? Having a kid over 50 Yeah, what are you thinking? Like, what are you thinking? Dr. Laura talked about that one time or whatever but Don Johnson, I met at a wedding John Branca's wedding, uh, who was a very famous, uh, attorney that poison used He was also Michael Jackson's attorney. I met Michael Jackson that same night. The one and only time I met Michael Jackson Who was very cool, by the way, very cool
Starting point is 00:54:13 I was introduced To Michael Jackson through Quincy Jones And Elvis told me never No, I'm kidding. Um But uh, it sounds like a joke like I'm about ready like I'm just like Bringing up fucking names But don Johnson was there and I talked to him for maybe three minutes. Very nice guy. He's talking to other people when he went to leave
Starting point is 00:54:38 The the reception He went around and said hey, it was nice meeting you deck. Hey, Ricky. It was nice meeting you. Hey, Jane. Nice meeting you He remembered every fucking person's name that he met that he had never met before it blew me away Blew me away. I said, I want to be able to do that. I still can't do it Well, that I walked into a room. I came that's funny because when I worked with him I had heard all the Miami vice stuff and stuff and It was one of the best mornings of my life I treated him like one of the guys I'd known we started talking about movies the next thing, you know
Starting point is 00:55:09 I looked up and I go one night. I was in Galena street having a cocktail in 1984 And I heard a bunch of yelling and screaming and it was Don Johnson at the heat Of Miami vice. He was living in Aspen. I was living in snowmass village I was at a bar in Aspen and I remember hearing all these screams I guess he walked into the wrong fucking bar Where there was like 90 women
Starting point is 00:55:35 And they chased him out all we all you could see is his bodyguard and don Johnson running down the street And 90 fucking women. He was the shit. He was the shit, you know by 85 white fucking loafers and you know all that shit Don't you wish you could get away with wearing white fucking loafers. He used to wear the He brought that let's bring that shit back. Yeah with no socks. Yeah, no socks. I wear no socks for one day My feet smell like that bodies. Yeah, I know Don Johnson's putting on fucking sneakers with no socks I know you got to go. Uh, what do you think of this? Because this is what the important can you believe when you started this band paris In 1986 was it?
Starting point is 00:56:14 Well, we started no we moved out here in 84. We started the band and like I mean bright night had had been in another band before uh, the what became poison and we were doing all the work And the other two guys just were not working it. They had an excuse for everything And uh, so that's why we started poison and we started it with the idea In mind that we wanted to see or we wanted to be Everything that we wanted to see in a band. Do you know what I'm saying? Yes. Yes, we wanted The music to be there. We wanted people to look cool. We wanted it to be a exciting
Starting point is 00:56:54 Onstage the the dynamic onstage all that stuff we created We set out to create that as fans like as a fan What do I want to see and that's what we pursued with poison? Uh, we couldn't do it with the other guys So we tried to make it happen in pa but it was limited like I said, you know We were able to go to maryland and play shows and things like that and then start But it was happening here. This is where rock and roll was happening Heavy metal all that was happening in los angeles. There was fertile ground for what we were doing
Starting point is 00:57:28 It was not happening back east not that much a little bit. There were some good bands that came out of there Of course kicks is amazing uh Wrath child america, I mean, there were some great bands that came out uh from there The dead end kids all these great bands, but we the timing to our age all that stuff We just couldn't make it fly back there. You know what I mean? Uh, it was always going to stay just at this level You know, we wanted we were shooting higher than who does loves to songwriting for you guys like the first three out
Starting point is 00:57:59 together We we would get no we would get in just like a garage band, you know, we get in a rehearsal room or You know when we lived on washington avenue, you know, it was just a room basically Um, we just get together and start playing, you know, somebody come up with a riff. Hey, I come up with a riff or I'm in the mood for this and you know, do you ever do this and do you ever hear this song and I had this guy You know, and we just work on it together like that. I love that. I love we we are Literally a garage band, you know what I mean that figured out how to take it to an arena level I I really honestly
Starting point is 00:58:36 That was my next question. I mean in 1984 When you came out here, I mean, what was What were you thinking? What was going to be the final result? We had kim fowley was interested in us kim fowley I don't know if you know who he is Was uh, he produced the runaways. He's famous for the runaways But he's kind of like an idol maker There's not many of those guys left in the world anymore, especially in rock
Starting point is 00:59:03 Malcolm McLaren's probably the last living idol maker But you know, he he wrote a lot of songs alley-oop and all this stuff back in the day But he would create bands and concepts and try to turn it into something and he fell in love with what we were doing He had heard a demo and said you guys got to come out So we try to work with him and he said something to me one time our whole band actually He said people do things around rock and roll. They will never do in normal life And i'll never forget that because he was so right. He was crazy. He died a couple years ago He was crazy and he was a very underhanded guy, but he was very brilliant and some of the things he said
Starting point is 00:59:43 It just stuck with me all these years Um, but he sort of taught us a little bit how to survive an ally because it's a different vibe out here I mean it it isn't it, you know, you have to if you're not if you're not hustling you're getting hustled I mean, that's l.a. That is fucking l.a. But did you see Like arenas and shit. I mean in the beginning. Was that what you guys were thinking? Did I see what arenas? I mean hell no Fuck no, we didn't know that you just guys wanted to get signed to maybe Open up for aerosmith. You would have been good with that. We were very luck
Starting point is 01:00:18 I mean the first tour we got was quiet riot We went out with quiet right now. They were on their way down. Unfortunately at that time And they weren't doing that well, but they were still playing big clubs some, you know some smaller arenas some Theaters a lot of clubs at that time, but it was big time for us, dude You know and that was like our shot and we went out there and we we did everything we could on that tour When our record came out and we released cry tough It didn't do that. Well cry tough is a great song and I believe in those words, you know, I mean the lyrics to that song
Starting point is 01:00:58 Somebody put it in their yearbook as a matter of fact. It's somebody showed me some time ago But it didn't light up the phones at mtv I mean, it just didn't work and so the record company said, you know, unless you get a tour or something We're gonna have to go back to drawing board And so we said That's when we managed to finagle the rat tour rat those guys liked us. We were creating enough buzz Without a successful single
Starting point is 01:01:29 That they wanted to put us out on the road. What year was that that was 86 That was uh, that was 86 Approximately lay it down to it. Yeah, I think so Damn Yeah, yeah, I think it was the second record like right because the first one was rat and roll. They know first they released a four Songy P for right, right with a wanted man Mouse then they released an album Then the second one whatever the fuck out
Starting point is 01:01:57 But because of getting the rat tour enigma record said we'll give you another single But we're not going to give you that kind of money for a for a video again because it didn't work And we said just give us a video it will make it work So it was a very inexpensive video, which is why talk to me has no continuity to it It's like we don't have time to make all this have all this perfect Filmatic continuity. We're just gonna make it a fucking party. Like we're having a party. We're doing this video There's the cameras. There's the camera guys. Put them all in. It's all fun. Let's just do it. You know what I mean? And it I think that energy translated because
Starting point is 01:02:36 When that video came out on MTV people really connected with it They connected with the fun aspect of the song the fact that we were just really really wanting to take Fun rock and roll to another level. You know what I mean? We were living in absolute shit at that time. So you fantasize about What would it be like if you were playing arenas and we did have all the things that we wanted We'd write songs about how we wanted our life to be. You know what I mean? Not how it was But how we wanted it to be and we're gonna like bathe in our own shit and write all these shitty lyrics Some people took did it that way, but we didn't we were like fantasizing. I'm gonna be positive
Starting point is 01:03:16 We're gonna come up and that song just connected and and It's one of the when I did meet Michael Jackson back to that for a second He said that was one of the funnest videos he's ever seen that was pretty cool So when somebody else would cut us down and say oh poison sucks It's like look Michael Jackson loved our video. So fuck you You know what I mean? David Bowie likes our video. Fuck you You guys had a lot of great videos. I mean MTV it's a shame to see that I grew up on MTV
Starting point is 01:03:48 You know when I grew up on fucking MTV and now I turn it on it's some fucking pregnant chicken She can't afford the kid. She's married to brutal. I fucking you know what it's We I think poison was really meant for that that medium. It was a perfect time. It all worked. Yeah I mean Brett works great in that medium. I think all of us, you know, CC is great in front of that You know right up front in front of the camera You know, I mean it just I think Synergistically our band just works so well in the in the video Medium it just and at that time they approach videos like they were little movies
Starting point is 01:04:29 I mean marty coller and all these amazing video directors. They went after it like they were doing a film Remember the time they got the smugglers blues And the glenn fry.

That's when he grabs a hold of it Okay, and and these are the types of things that people the average person has no clue about they don't know what's going on in the mind of Of of grapplers, you know punching is a little more obvious, you know, you swing and you hit the guy Okay, but grappling it's so subtle. You'd move your hip this way lean the weight this way all this shit
Starting point is 01:07:43 You know what I mean a hicks on calls it invisible jiu-jitsu all the stuff that happens That isn't obvious to the naked eye And I would love to do a film or some special or documentary That really concentrates on getting people to understand what is going on Maybe in slow motion.

Starting point is 01:13:18 We both lie silently stealing the dead of the night Although we both lie close together We feel miles apart inside Was it something i said or something i did did my words not come out right? Though i tried not to hurt you though i tried But i guess that's why they say every rose has its thong Just like every night has its thong Just like every cowboy sings his sad sad song
Starting point is 01:14:05 Every rose has its thong Just like every night has its thong I listened to a fake paper song then on the radio Where the DJ said it was a game of easy coming Easy go But a wonder doesn't know Has it ever been like this? And i know that you'd be here right now if i could let you know somehow
Starting point is 01:14:53 I guess every rose has its thong Just like every night has its thong Just like every cowboy sings his sad sad song Every rose has its thong Though it's been a while now i could still feel so much pain Like the knife that cuts you the wound he used But the scar that's covering me I know i could see the love they're not about knowing what to say
Starting point is 01:16:21 Instead of making love we both made a several weeks And now he found somebody new and that i never meant that much to you To hear that tear from inside and to see who cuts me Like a knife i guess every rose has its thong Just like every night has its thong Just like every cowboy sings his sad sad song Every rose has its thong
