Bret Michaels

That’s what The Windsor Star is reporting. Of course, Blabbermouth caught wind of it and that’s where I read about it.

The Star claims Poison frontman and human petri dish Bret Michaels announced during his November 13 solo set at Caesars Casino in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, that his band would be touring with the one and only Motley Crue. Holy mother of fuck! This tour’s gonna summon all the skanks. Tommy Lee’s going to have a line two blocks long outside his bus each night. I wonder if this tour will be supported by Valtrex. Or wire hangers.

Bret claims the tour will be in commemoration of Poison and the Crue’s respective 25th and 30th anniversaries. Of course, we will bring you all those tour dates as soon as they are made available. Clearly, the Crue headlines. But who opens. I’ve got one word-that-sounds-like-two for ya: Buck fucking cherry, baby. Or fucking Sixx:A.M. Because people wanna hear that garbage live.

Maybe Trapt will end up doing it. I think if Bret and the Crue wanted to do something awesome, they’d have the Dillinger Escape Plan open. I think DEP would be down for it. Even a band like Job For A Cowboy. It’ll probably end up being CKY.
