Look What the Cat Dragged In

I think you still have a few shows left this year.

You're doing the 40th anniversary of, of the debut Poison album, Look What the Cat Dragged In.

Kind of just share with us, like, what was the, the catalyst that, that, you know, drove you to do this? And, like, how have the shows been going, I guess?

Um, they've been doing great.

He really did audition for the band.

How close did he come to getting that gig, and what happens when you put his, his blues-based Aerosmith, Zeppelin, kinda Stones influence playing in, into the songs that became Look What the Cat Dragged In, which is kinda punkish.

Let's state the obvious at this point.

CC Deville was, uh, and is perfect for Poison, the band, the look, the music.

Vinny Vincent Invasion came out with their self-titled new record, Quite Right, with QR3.

Rusty Bones faves, Poison, Look What the Cat Dragged In, with the chicas sporting their look-

Track four, from the 1983 album Metal Health, it's Quiet Riot with Come On, Feel the Noise.

Track 5, Talk Dirty to Me, from Poison's 1986 album, Look What the Cat Dragged In.

Track six from their 1987 self-titled album, It's Faster Pussycat with Don't Change That Song.

Don't you change that song, it's my favorite record.

It reminds me of the story about Michael Wagner turning down the...

the points versus the cash for Poison, look what the cat dragged in, where if he looked back and could do it again, he'd have definitely taken the points, but he didn't believe in that album.

But if I try to put myself in the headspace of an in-demand producer in 1986, and I knew nothing about Poison, and you played that for me, I see why you decided, because it's just so raw and almost loaf.

I mean, it's produced well, but it's...

You know, like I

went out, I saved up the money.

I bought Look What the Cat Dragged In on cassette tape.

I went through three of those cassette

But I, I thought, um, Look What...

Uh, uh, not Look What The Cat Dragged In.

Um, where...

What is it? Where There's a Whip There's a Way, or is that what...
