enduring bands, will hit more than 40 This June, Coming Home Media (Rush, Steve Miller Band,
Godsmack)
in conjunction with B Media will be releasing Poison: Live, Raw & Uncut through Koch Records. This DVD/CD
collection — the band's first in over a decade — includes all of the
multi-platinum rockers' greatest hits performed live, including "Nothin' but a Good Time", "Look What The Cat Dragged
In" and "Every Rose Has Its Thorn". Captured in glorious high
definition in front of 10,000 rowdy fans at the Verizon
Wireless Amphitheatre in Since first bursting onto the scene in 1986, Poison has been one of rock's top acts,
with multi-platinum album sales and sold out tours. The success of the band's
recent album releases and tours shows that POISON is as potent 22 years after
the release of their debut album, "Look What The Cat Dragged In", as
ever. Released in 2006, Poison’s
greatest-hits collection The Best Of Poison: 20 Years Of Rock rocketed into Billboard's
Top 20 with a #17 debut. The 18-track CD and digital collection, released by
Capitol/EMI, was soon certified gold with sales totaling more than 500,000
units in the U.S., and Poison tore
through the summer of 2006 on their highly successful "20 Years Of
Rock" North American concert tour. Last June, Poison
returned to Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart with the #32 debut of their EMI
America Records/Capitol release, Poison'd! Produced
by Don Was, Poison'd! packs 13
explosive cover songs, including new recordings of David Bowie’s " VH1's hit reality series "Rock Of
Love With Bret Michaels", now in its second season and just weeks
away from its climactic conclusion, continues to draw high ratings. Season
one's love match was a mismatch and the search went on for Bret to find someone
to "rock his world." The first season's finale was the #1 program on
cable that night as well as the #1 non-sports program on cable for the week. Dokken
hits the road in support of their first new album in four years,
"Lightning Strikes Again". The album arrives May 13 from Rhino and
features the classic Dokken
sound on such new songs as "Standing On The
Outside" and "Heart To Stone". Dokken will be playing these
songs live for the first time, along with all their classic tracks including
"Breaking The Chains", "Alone
Again", "Just Got Lucky", and "Into The Fire". Sebastian Bach, the original voice of Skid Row, brings charisma, excitement, and passion to the stage.
His high-energy mix of metal and rock has been winning over audiences for the
past two decades. From Broadway lights to the TV screen, Sebastian has proven
himself as a versatile and durable performing artist. With the release of his
critically acclaimed solo album, "Angel Down", he continues to show
the world that he is one of the strongest voices in music today. Poison "Live, Raw & Uncut Summer
