There seems to be a lot of confusion about what is going on with Poison these days. I still have faith that we will do some great things in the future. However, here is what I know and donÂ't know:
1. No, Poison did not break up.
After all, why would we? We can do stuff as individuals anyway, so why go to the trouble to break-up?
2.Q: Are we going to do a record?
A: I donÂ't know. That is to say, the last I heard from the guys, is that we were going to in October. Does that mean we are? No, not for sure. It means I am ready and I think Bret is. So, weÂ'll see.
3. Q: Did C.C. quit?
A: No, but at the same time he never really re-joined Poison officially either. Meaning, we never signed a contract stating that he was back in and ready to work. But, he did verbally agree.
4. Q: Did C.C. start a new band?
A:I donÂ't know. He hasnÂ't called me. He wanted to do some recording with me, but the next I know, IÂ'm hearing rumours and he hasnÂ't called Bret back, so I doubt heÂ'll call me either. But, IÂ'll try anyway. IÂ'll let you all know.
5.Please donÂ't ask me about BretÂ's record and when itÂ's coming out etc.
I donÂ't know. We arenÂ't connected at the hip. ItÂ's his business. I played on a couple of songs, but I have no say so in his other affairs besides Poison.
6. Q: Will Poison tour?
A: I donÂ't know that either. If I canÂ't predict a record, I canÂ't predict a tour.
7. Q: Why havenÂ't you done the damn Poison Web site.
A: Because I donÂ't know what the hell is going on.
ThatÂ's about it. Thanks for givinÂ' a $&!# about us.
