I am truly independently owned and operated.
For me as a solo artist, I never want to be a nostalgia act.
Most bands have a two-year success rate. By the third year, it's sort of over. Here we are in Poison still together 26 years later.
I love it. It's all good to me. Whether I'm performing in New York, L.A., Columbus or Des Moines, I give 110 percent every night.
As far back as I can remember, I am one of those guys that works hard and plays harder. I have to have both.
Sometimes I will endanger my own life to pleasure a woman.
I do meet-and-greets at every show and meet a minimum of 20-35 fans at each.
I've had plenty of big hits and plenty of big misses.
I'm addicted to creating and writing.

My life is part humor, part roses, part thorns.
I always think in life passion supersedes everything.
I love it. It's all good to me. Whether I'm performing in New York, L.A., Columbus or Des Moines, I give 110 percent every night,
I will deliver, rain, snow, anything short of a tornado,
