Catfights! Dirty Talk! Dutch Hookers! Bret Michaels Answers Even More Reader Questions

Poison frontman and Rock of Love Bus star Bret Michaels had so much to say during our recent Dear Superstar interview (in the March issue of Blender, now on stands) that we couldn’t fit it all in the pages of the magazine! Here are some more of his very revealing answers to reader questions.


When are Poison coming out with a new album of original material?
JESSICA3501, LUBBOCK, TX

BRET MICHAELS: On our last studio album [2007’s Poison’d!], we had Don Was, one of the greatest producers ever, and I was really upset that we were using him for a covers album. I gave 150 percent, but I was like, “Guys, we fuckin’ write music. Isn’t that what we got into this for in the first place for?” I would like to do a new album with Poison—but we’d have to do new material. I live to write and produce new stuff. I will never do another cover song with Poison.

Aside from the contestant’s boobs, what’s the fakest thing about Rock of Love?
JENBATTLES, MEDFORD, MA

BM: How much the girls tell me they like me, how much they say they like the competitions I put ’em through, and the hair extensions—including mine.

You’re pals with Charlie Sheen. Who tips hookers better?
CAMELBAKK3, GAINESVILLE, FL

BM: I’ve never seen Charlie tip a hooker, but I hear that he tips fairly well. I’d like to think that I do fairly well, myself. Throughout my years I have dated girls who eventually became prostitutes. I may have experienced a few in Amsterdam—that was my first prostitute experience, probably ’87. The red-light district in Amsterdam is the most surreal place on earth. There’s hash bars, then there’s girls in little windows with red lights over them, there’s live sex shows, and then there’s families, like grandparents, walking around. It was pretty mind-blowing for a young kid from a small town in Pennsylvania.

You acted in a couple of movies in the late ’90s. What roles have you turned down?
99VICKTOON, ETTRICK, VA

BM: I’ve turned down a lot of really cheesy B-movie bad-guy roles. I had a guy pitch me a script—he’s a known producer now—and he’s like [adopts mobster accent], “I got this movie called Lawless. I want you and Charlie in it.” I’m all excited, like I’m gonna get this big role. He’s like, “You’re a gangster, and you get in a fight in an alley and they cut your dick and balls off and shove them down your throat.” I’m like, “How long into the movie?” And he says, “It’s the opening scene.” That’s my fucking debut in a big movie? I don’t think so.

Nikki Sixx, Axl Rose and Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott have all slammed Poison. Ever bump into any of these guys since then?
TECHBOY2K1, DETROIT

I used to ride Harleys with Nikki, and around ’88 they were gonna kick Vince [Neil] out of the band and were interested in me singing for them. I never knew Nikki disliked me until I read about it, and now when I see him, he’s like, “What’s up, bro?” I’ve never actually read what Axl said. I remember talking with him about life by the vending machine in the studio when he was doing Use Your Illusion, I think. I know Joe said something about us and some other bands not being as real. We became the biggest hair band in the world, and I think we became a punching bag when other bands’ careers started to dip. But I like all those bands’ music. This summer, Poison are going to tour with Def Leppard, something I’ve been trying to make happen for years.

“Talk Dirty to Me” is my favorite Poison song. What’s the hottest thing a girl ever said to you in bed?
NATIVETONGUE01, MOBILE, AL

BM: The hottest thing ever is, “Fuck me! Fuck me harder! I’m about to come!” Then you know they’re into the moment. It’s a turnoff when you know they’re putting on a routine, just going through the motions of slapping their ass for you.

Please describe in excruciating detail the hottest catfight you’ve ever witnessed.
REARVUE1980, PITTSFIELD, MA

BM: The biggest, most violent one was between Daisy and Heather on Rock of Love 2, when I dragged them onstage. Heather is pounding her in the skull. Daisy got a good punch in on Heather’s jaw. But I don’t find catfights hot. I find them interesting. Let me straighten a myth out—catfights do not make women horny. Catfights make women pissed—they wanna go back and kick that girl’s ass—which leads to you not getting laid.

Hey, whatever happened to the four hot chicks on the cover of your first album?
JUSTINATOR, SAN DIEGO

BM: That was a great joke—in 1986!
