Love ya Rockett!! It would blow my mind if I saw you walking around Oklahoma City. I saw you play in 1990, flesh and blood tour in Wichita, KS... I was 11 years old... hope to see you in concert again soon!!
My wife looked forward to the Nashville show for months and months. She was so heart broken when you guys were unable to preform.. So.. there will have to be a 2023 tour we can catch you guys. Thanks for keeping awesome music alive.
The behind the stage footage is amazing. Also, the view from behind the kit during the set is incredible. The energy, the view, the music....that content writes itself!!
Man Rikki You have no idea how much I look forward to your videos! Thank you so much for a view behind the scenes! Oh, and one more thing…….. Poison and Tesla 2023!!!!!!!!!!!! -hint
So glad they added Unskinny Bop back in the setlist. We went to Edmonton show and my wife, daughter, and sister-in-law would have been devastated had they not played it.
@@darrinsteven7002 Holy cow Darrin. You took it literally. It was more of a figure of speech. Much like when a person says they are "starving", but really only a bit hungry. Know what I mean? Can you piece it together now?
I’ve enjoyed these videos during the stadium tour. Saw you guys in Boston you guys rocked as always. Been a Poison fan from back in the 80s. Thanks for the music!
I do appreciate the way you included footage of you on the drums from behind during a show. Always love the view from the bands point of view looking outwards at the crowd. Like i'm standing on stage right there with you. Sadly I totally missed the show you guys did here in north Carolina in Charlotte but I will catch yous next time. I Kinda prefer Poison being the headliners anyway lol. I've seen Defleppard and Motley Crue as headliners in the past. Also seen Poison a number of times as headliners. Last Poison show I saw was in North Carolina a few years ago with Jackyl opening. Poison also happens to be the first real "Rock Concert" I saw Live back during the Flesh & Blood Tour with Warrant opening for them.
I have really enjoyed your tour vlog posts. It's a little sad to think of them coming to an end. I hope that you will continue to do updates from time to time after the tour ends this week! I didn't have a chance to attend a concert, but have also enjoyed the many performance videos posted by fans. Almost felt like I've been to a bunch of shows! Poison still rocks!!! And it looks like you all have been having a blast!
I live 60 miles south of Eugene. We drove to Seattle to see the show. It was incredible. The most talent I've ever seen at one concert. Nothing but a good time.
How freaking cool it would be to be backstage during the concert! When you were in the coffee shop I kept thinking, if they only knew who was walking by them! Lol maybe they'll see this video they can identify themselves 😁 Thank you for doing these vlogs. I really enjoy them!🤘🥁💚💜
Whatever happened to your fan club? I was a member for 3 or 4 years, still have all the t-shirts & lanyards from it. I wish it was still a thing. You should bring it back next year. 😊
I have been hooked on you videos for some time. You are one of my favs for sure. Your humbleness exceeds your fame which I admire most in you. I have to add that seeing C.C. Was great. I would love to see him on social media more as I was first a guitar player trying to mimic C.C. In my younger years. You both seem like awesome people. Thank you for sharing ❗️
Absolutely loved it. This vid made my night, actually it made my week 🤘 thank you so much Rikki for sharing this with us. Without your tireless work to include us fans, we would miss out. So grateful to see this and everything you do 🙏
Thanks for another great look into your exciting life on this tour with your amazing band Poison ☠️ It was great seeing you again at the Tulsa meet and greet and watching you guys kick ass in Tulsa and KC this summer ! Thanks for keeping the music alive for all of us ❤️
This was so cool! Especially the end! Felt like I was actually backstage watching you play! It’s one thing being in the crowd, but being on this side of the view is so cool!
Just loving the tour videos. The packing like a rockstar was definitely very informative. BTW watching the end of this I always wondered why Unskinny Bop was pulled from the Toronto show. One of my fave Poison songs and sucked that I didn't get to see it live this year.
Thanks man.. it’s been really awesome to see these videos ..I only hope that poison doesn’t go on a Layover forever,, sincerely 35 year poison fan forever…
I love these vlogs! The guys I follow say vlogging for growth is likely not the best idea. But vlogging because it's fun and awesome to document your life? Heck yeah!!! 🤘Keep ‘em coming.
You guys were awesome in San Francisco!! Your humility and gratitude are so touching - we are so grateful for you guys too!!!! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!! Big love!!❤🤘❤🤘❤
I doubt you’ll answer or see this, but I’d imagine you guys can pull any song out of your catalog to play each night if you wanted to, but how often, and is it a band decision to change up the line up of songs, and is it based on your feel for the day? Thanks and I’ve seen u guys a bunch, going back to the late 80’s in Buffalo! You guys kick ass, full on energy.
Absolutely love the content! Would love to know what music you listen to (if any) during down or off time?!? IE What's at the top of your Spotify or similar playlist?!?
Awesome video and channel! I love the behind the scenes footage. It reminds me of the cool home videos bands put out back in the 80s on VHS and Laserdisc. Me and my buddy saw Poison in Houston Tx back in '88. Lita and Britny Fox opened. We were 14 years old and snuck in a tape recorder, thought we were some badass bootleggers lol.
This was such a cool perspective in, Rikki! I was super excited to go to the Vancouver show but caught COVID literally the day before the show. So seeing this a few days after is great :)
Hey man why didn’t you post anything from San Diego? I Was at that that show it was cool that you had your Doctor Who saved your life at the show love to see a post on that man
Fantastic blog. I live in Albuquerque, NM so it was cool to see you kick this vlog off in Las Cruces, NM. Glad you enjoyed it there for a while. Please vlog when you return to the B&B. It was great seeing you and the others in Denver at Coors Field back in July. Have a great rest of the tour and thanks again for sharing these vlogs.
i have been lovin' you guys since you released Flesh & Blood which up to now is my favourite of your albums, thank you for keeping rock & roll alive and being such a great live band, maybe I get a chance to see you one day - all the best, stay happy & healthy
Thanks for sharing your vlog and tours. It’s cool to see the behind the scenes. I ❤️NM. My grandma and mom are from New Mexico. Safe travels and Rock On 🤘🏽
We live in Springfield, Oregon! Would have loved to have met up with you and shared a coffee! Maybe next time through!😁 We drove up to Seattle to catch the Stadium Tour. Got some great pics of you and all. Thanks for the great show!!!!
Great Meeting you yesterday and the rest of the guys in the meet and greet. I have been a fan since the beginning in 86. Was a Killer Show in Edmonton. Hope we can ride together one day. I am the one with the Ducati Panigale. Anytime you are in Saskatoon look me up. I have a bike to lend you!!
I love that you are doing these videos. A huge rockstar who is just a regular joe in real life. From just day to day life and what it is like backstage in the rock n roll world. So cool!! I would feel very comfortable hanging out and talking to you. Rock on!!
I love the outdoors! It’s great seeing this side of you! If there’s one drummer I’ve thought was cool, Rikki Rocket would be it! Learned that name in the mid 80s! Of course I know CC, Bobby, and Brett too! Poison is all time favorite, from 80s to now! 😊
PS, so glad you all are together again, with CC especially! The only thing I ever regretted about Poison was when CC wasn’t with you guys! I’m definitely an original Poison fan! 😊
That's awesome 👌 I drive to Las Cruces NM, from Tucson Az, then back to Tucson everyday. I'll have to check out that coffee shop sometime. The show in Phoenix AZ, was awesome. 🤘
Love the behind-the-scenes videos! If you want a real challenge for your 🏍 ride, you should try the tail of the dragon in NC or the crazy road with switchbacks in the Green River Gorge near Saluda NC. On another note, many of us did wonder why they did not bring you out on the catwalk with your drum set like they did with Rick and Tommy Lee. Would love to see ALL of the drummers as you guys remain more in the background.
Thanks so much for all of your great posts during this tour! I’m hoping this tour has inspired the band to make a new album and get back out on the road ASAP! We need some new Poison music!
Loved your show in Vancouver!!!! Ugh so mad at myself because I cheaped out on the tickets 🤦♀I don't live in Vancouver so had to fly there hotel yada yada yada so at the time was just so happy to go to the show I didn't care where I sat but now wished I had thought it through oh well at least I was there and saw you guys. Unskinny Bop is still one of my top 10 songs of all times so loved hearing it live but have to say loved your closing number the most and was one of my highlights of the show, you guys were amazing!!! It was such beautiful weather when you were there so perfect for your ride I am sure! haha my Brother used to be Vancouver police but i won't tell 🤪 Thanks for a fantastic show and thanks for sharing your vlog with us!
It's funny how that guy who didn't want you to film had no idea who you were. He's probably never heard of Poison, which is why he's so bitter. LOL good stuff, man.
Another great video. I would love to see you work with Drumeo/Musora and teach drummers something special. I'm always asking for you when they ask what drummers should they bring in.
Love to see CC - Poison has been so awesome, thankful and humble on this tour from all of the videos I've seen.
Wishing u & the boys the best
Go look up I Won’t Forget You since then till now it’s been a ride
Thank you for the great memories
I hope poison stays Rocking for a long long time
I do too! I missed the tour this year because of work but next year I’m not missing it!
Couldn't agree more!!!
Love ya Rockett!! It would blow my mind if I saw you walking around Oklahoma City. I saw you play in 1990, flesh and blood tour in Wichita, KS... I was 11 years old... hope to see you in concert again soon!!
Poison by far the best act on the tour. Love all the bands, but they definitely killed it. Love your videos!
I am 44yo and have been a fan since I was a little kid. Look What the Cat Dragged In & Open Up and Say Ahhh, stone cold classic albums imo
Hi CC! Love you man! Favorite and best guitarist 🎸 of all time! Every time someone asks, it CC Deville!
I remember seeing CC in the Surreal Life years ago. He is a class act!
My wife looked forward to the Nashville show for months and months. She was so heart broken when you guys were unable to preform.. So.. there will have to be a 2023 tour we can catch you guys. Thanks for keeping awesome music alive.
Love to CC on here it was awesome and to see you drum at the end was just great thanks for the video 😁
The behind the stage footage is amazing. Also, the view from behind the kit during the set is incredible. The energy, the view, the music....that content writes itself!!

You have no idea how much I look forward to your videos!

So glad they added Unskinny Bop back in the setlist. We went to Edmonton show and my wife, daughter, and sister-in-law would have been devastated had they not played it.
Devastated???
Holy cow.
That is sad.
People need to get some stability.
@@darrinsteven7002 Holy cow Darrin. You took it literally. It was more of a figure of speech. Much like when a person says they are "starving", but really only a bit hungry. Know what I mean? Can you piece it together now?
This is awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing with us old rockers that have been with you since early 80’s.
That kicked a** Rikki, your the best. So cool to get a glimpse of the concert from your perspective.
That coffee shop was HUGE!!!
I had a blast rocking out to Poison in Vancouver this past weekend!
Love the unique footage you shared. I’m from Harrisburg, PA like you but live in New Mexico so I appreciated the Cafe footage. Come back!
Went to the show in Edmonton. Poison stole the show!
I’ve enjoyed these videos during the stadium tour. Saw you guys in Boston you guys rocked as always. Been a Poison fan from back in the 80s. Thanks for the music!

Great video as always. Thanks so much for sharing all the videos. I finally got to see Poison live for the first time in July. Been a fan since 1986.
Have always loved Poison, but your content is always so generous! Thank you Rikki!
🤘🏼♥️
I have to tell you that I had a wonderful time in seeing all of you here in San Antonio, Texas. Love you all !!!
I have really enjoyed your tour vlog posts. It's a little sad to think of them coming to an end. I hope that you will continue to do updates from time to time after the tour ends this week!

Thanks so much for sharing - your content is fantastic and really appreciated!!!!
Awesome to see the walk to the stage. Even more awesome to see how good C.C. looks. Great vlog.
" He wouldn't have liked what he got " .... lol, love it! 🤘
I live 60 miles south of Eugene. We drove to Seattle to see the show. It was incredible. The most talent I've ever seen at one concert. Nothing but a good time.
Love the stage view while you're playing! And that splash cymbal was the star of that intro. Lol
How freaking cool it would be to be backstage during the concert!
When you were in the coffee shop I kept thinking, if they only knew who was walking by them! Lol maybe they'll see this video they can identify themselves 😁
Thank you for doing these vlogs. I really enjoy them!🤘🥁💚💜
So funny! I was like how do these people not know its Rikki Rocket! 🤣
The you for that over shoulder of you drumming at the end! That's quite the view!!!!
Whatever happened to your fan club? I was a member for 3 or 4 years, still have all the t-shirts & lanyards from it. I wish it was still a thing. You should bring it back next year. 😊
This is great. So neat to see what rockstars do on their day off.
This video was AWESOME! Thank you for sharing what the fans never get to see. I love you guys!
WOW! What A Great Show It Was In Edmonton!!! Love Poison Forever, Hope To See Yous Again, Rock On Rikki \m/\m/
That was the best concert I have ever been to! Absolutely awesome.
Thanks for the behind the scenes video , I love it. I was at the Vancouver show last Friday September 2nd good show loved your set. 😀👍
I have been hooked on you videos for some time. You are one of my favs for sure. Your humbleness exceeds your fame which I admire most in you. I have to add that seeing C.C. Was great. I would love to see him on social media more as I was first a guitar player trying to mimic C.C. In my younger years. You both seem like awesome people. Thank you for sharing ❗️
See you all Friday! Super excited! You rock!♥️
Loved seeing backstage and u playing drums during the show, i hope u do more of that
Absolutely loved it. This vid made my night, actually it made my week 🤘 thank you so much Rikki for sharing this with us. Without your tireless work to include us fans, we would miss out. So grateful to see this and everything you do 🙏
Would love to see more behind the kit during the concert.

My favorite one yet. Love the backstage stuff the best. 🤘
Luv that this is called bits n pieces. There's an old school techno tune artemisia - bits n pieces. It always reminded me of unskinny bops melody
You guys were awesome in San Francisco!! Your humility and gratitude are so touching - we are so grateful for you guys too!!!! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!! Big love!!❤🤘❤🤘❤
About time Brett throws you a bone. Dude is a money maker. He earned it.
These vlogs are amazing! Thank you for doing them!

Pretty cool watching you play your drums for a few seconds.
Seeing you Wednesday!!! About time, had tickets since 2019. So excited
Awesome video and channel! I love the behind the scenes footage. It reminds me of the cool home videos bands put out back in the 80s on VHS and Laserdisc.

I’m here because I saw you on Scott on tape. Love his videos so if he likes yours, then I’m sure I will too. Rock on Rikki!
Great video. The drums to Unskinny Bop have always been some of my favorite.

That snare is CRACKING buddy.
You know it's a serious relationship when you swap stickers with someone

Welcome to Canada 🇨🇦 it was amazing watching Rikki do his magic on the drums at the end 🤘
That was bad ass! Love the back stage insight!
Thanks so much for all of your great posts during this tour! I’m hoping this tour has inspired the band to make a new album and get back out on the road ASAP! We need some new Poison music!
Great vid! Keep posting I always try and watch during lunch break! Very neat to see these cool places; I’ll never probably get to visit!

You guys were the best on tour. Our home town rock band. Remember seeing you guys in a little bar in Mechanicsburg. Keep rocking.
