"Midwest BEAT with Tom Lounges" did a special broadcast featuring RIKKI ROCKETT of POISON for region fans reliving their '80s memories at the big concert on SATURDAY, JUNE 24 at at Hollywood Casino Amphitheater in Tinley Park, Illinois. The four founding members of Poison -- Rikki Rockett, Bret Michaels, Bobby Dall and C.C.

POISON's drummer and founding member RIKKI ROCKETT chats with Tom Lounges about the summer tour, the band's history, being a cancer survivor, his passion for motorcycles, and his all-star side band Devil City Angels.
Plenty of POISON tunes get played during the course of this interview program, including: "Every Rose Has It's Thorn," "I Want Action," "Fallen Angel," "Look What The Cat Dragged In," "Unskinny Bop," "Ride The Wind," and others. There's even a The Devil City Angels cut that gets a spin.
