Here comes trouble? No, it's Poison!

Break out the hairspray and silly string - here comes Poison!

If you can't get enough of Metal Mania, then this summer may just be your dream come true. Poison will be celebrating their 20 year anniversary with a tour and a new greatest hits package featuring a cover of Grand Funk's "We're An American Band." Since a previous "Greatest Hits 1986-1996" has quietly earned platinum status, you just have to wonder if there really is a need for another compilation in their somewhat short catalog. Well, nostalgia sells, so probably a few hundred thousand or so true rock fans will feel the need to pick this up to round out their collection.

Can you believe that it's been twenty years? Far removed from MTV and radio success, Poison has previously put together low dough package tours with both very good and very average line-ups. However, it's great to see a band like this get out and fully understand their limitations, and hopefully they will continue with an affordable ticket price for an evening of rockin' out like it's 1988.
