Just what you have been waiting for, a cover record from an 80s glam band. Didn't Def Leppard just do this last year? Anyways, we have ourselves a new Poison tour with Ratt and White Lion heading our way this summer. These shows never sell out Pine Knob, the 15,000 person amphitheatre here in metro Detroit so tickets are usually passed out all around town. If I can score some free ones I might consider going. Unfortunately Ratt still has their lame new singer who is a poor replacement for Stephen Pearcy and White Lion, well they had 2 songs. If these 3 bands are not part of the Rock Never Stops tour I wonder what really bad metal bands will take the honors.

Poison produced by Was? Intriguing. But those cover choices don't excite me at all.
Like you, I'd go with free tickets of course.
