Why would anyone wish death upon someone is who actually a productive member of society?? He has a job, pays taxes, and isn't out commiting crimes. If I wished death upon anyone, there would be far more to choose from than him.

Hope he makes it.

Heard several Poison songs on the XM today......was hoping he hadn't died.

Talk Dirty to Me jumped up 5 to #26 according to 80's on 8 April 23rd 1987 top 40 countdown....good beat and tune.


I really like Fallen Angel as their best song that didn't get much pub.

I thought his Rock of Love shows were pretty lame, but a friend of mine got me backstage about 10 years ago to see Great White, Ratt, LA Guns, & Poison. Bret & Rikki were very cool and spent a lot of time with the fans backstage and were thanking people for coming and supporting them. LA Guns partied by themselves on their tour bus with Great White & all but two members of Ratt.

When I first surfed past an episode of his Rock of Love Show, I did not know who he was. I watched a couple of these shows and didn't really think much of them. It just isn't anything that would interest me. Later I found out he was an entertainer, but I still have never actually seen him in that venue. Regardless of my lack of interest in his show, I hope that he recovers, although I'm so late getting into this discussion, it might be a wish that is no longer possible. I pray that he is still battling and will successfully deal with the very grave circumstances that confront him.

I think everybody is, he's proven on some fronts to be a pretty saavy business guy, of course after being in the music biz for that long you probably would be too.

Poison had great songs, and I agree with Fallen Angel as being probably one of their best but doesn't get a whole lot of play.

No offense to Mr. Michaels, but he doesn't deserve as much attention as he gets.

I should also mention that I'm not trying to put him down or wish upon his health or anything.

I wiki'd his name and saw that he had a "Subarachnoid hemorrhage". I didn't feel like looking that up, so can anyone give me general specifics? Primarily, considering the presence of "arachnoid", does this involve spiders infesting his brain?

Has anyone heard anything about his condition? Some people like him, some people don't like him, fact of the matter is the guy is a rock star and gets more vajayjay than a gyno. On top of that, he has done loads and loads of charity work especially for kids with diabetes. He has lived a lot of men's dreams and is still personable and approachable by his fans. Hope the guy makes a full recovery.

A brain (cerebral) aneurysm is a bulging, weak area in the wall of an artery that supplies blood to the brain. In most cases, a brain aneurysm causes no symptoms and goes unnoticed. In rare cases, the brain aneurysm ruptures, releasing blood into the skull and causing a stroke.

When a brain aneurysm ruptures, the result is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Depending on the severity of the hemorrhage, brain damage or death may result.

The most common location for brain aneurysms is in the network of blood vessels at the base of the brain called the circle of Willis.

So spiders aren't involved? Well, this celebrity health issue became a lot less cool.

Yes. Yes I do. Ah well, time to go home and start drinking or something. That'll make me better...or much, much worse.
