That sounds so nice, I know you must be surprised to get a reply from me right? Well, I actually opened this account to reach out to fans to know how they feel about my personality and my songs.
I met Bret Michaels at my gym I go to he's a really nice guy good music to
You know what, I can understand why people may not like Bret or Poison. But I've always heard a great rock band who wrote fantastic songs that made you want to get up even when you were feeling your lowest; and I see an intelligent man who is disarmingly honest and friendly. He's been through a lot of crap over the years, and still looks like he did in the 80s! J
This is a great interview...Hawk is a master of conversation instead of interrogation. Another win my friend!
A true inspiration and hero may God always look after and protect you and your daughters🌹🌹🌹music is life❤❤your music helped me overcome 6 family deaths and 3 cancers since 2015 thank you always be true to yourself❤🌹

I truly appreciate Bret Michael's work and awareness not to mention his foundation that contributes to helping diabetes and people/children with type 1 diabetes such as myself. I've always been curious as to why with all the new technology, why he isn't on an insulin pump? Would love to know his thoughts that. I've also been through a lot on top of this disease, I'm so happy he talks openly about this!! Bret is a true enigma!! 😘😘

I'm thinking of Yngwie Malmsteen, the "guitar god" who brought classical ideas into metal. Chances are, 95% of his audience consists of other guitar players who are watching this guy play and absolutely slack-jawed. By rock-star standards, not the biggest name in the business...but (so I hear) the man has seven Ferraris.

Corenero Yngwie Malmsteen has seven Ferraris...at least, there were six parked in front of his house when he was interviewed by Sam Nunn for "Metal Evolution." If memory serves, Yngwie picked Nunn up from the airport in the seventh. I'm not exactly sure what Bret drives, but like Yngwie, he's living proof that someone who is talented and business-like can do very well for himself and still be nowhere the celebrity of, say, Michael Jackson...

BRET'S ADVICE ON MAKING IT IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY: SELL YOUR HAIR! LMFAO!
Love Bret michaels and poison. He’s too classy of a guy to say hip hop and rap music sucks. It takes no musical talent to do that stuff. Rap is the worst thing to happen to music in the history of the world. Great interview
Replenish!! Bubble over!
I DONT KNOW IF YOU WILL SEE THIS MESSAGE BRETT? BUT I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT THE MUSIC BUISSNESS NEEDS TO BE RE ESTABLISHED IN ORDER TO BRING BACK INSTRUMENT PLAYING BANDS! I KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. BUT I WILL NEED HELP! IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS IT? GET BACK TO ME!
