20 years of rock...Poison

Seems like lately there's just a flood of reissues, reunions and rockers on the road. Well now you can add Poison to that list. On August first, Capitol/EMI will reissue Poison’s first three multi-platinum albums in expanded 20th anniversary edition CD packages.

Their 1986 debut album, Look What The Cat Dragged In; 1988's platinum Open Up And Say… Ahh! (with the hit single “Every Rose Has Its Thorn;") and 1990's multi-platinum Flesh & Blood are all digitally remastered with rare and previously unreleased bonus tracks on each.

Guitarist C.C. Deville, singer Bret Michaels and the band are touring with Cinderella through August...Poison’s “20 Years Of Rock” tour is presented by VH1 Classic and Live Nation:

“Poison is bringing the kind of summer tour package that rock fans have been waiting for,” said Live Nation Senior Vice President of Touring, Bruce Kapp. “We are so happy that both Poison and Cinderella decided to spend their 20th birthdays on the road – it’s a terrific tour at a great price.”

To coincide with the bands’ 20th anniversaries, and keeping with Poison’s tradition of staying loyal to their music and their fans, lawn tickets for each of the outdoor amphitheatre dates are priced at $20 or less. Source: www.poisonweb.com
