8/26/10 - "A carpenter by trade and a music man
by choice." That's part of the legacy left by Willie
Bennett. Funeral arrangements have been announced for
the local music promoter, who died Saturday at his
home at the age of 62. Visitation is Tuesday from 5
until 8 p.m. at Trevino-Smith Funeral Home in Bryan.
Bennett's funeral service is Wednesday at 10 a.m. at
St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Bryan.
*****************************************************
Willie was our international promoter. We only knew
him for a short period of time, but built a great
relationship with him. Willie had lots of friends from
all walks of life. He lived a life that most could
only dream of, and you could tell he loved every
minute of it. You'll truly be missed!
7/19/10 - We had
such a great time in Trinidad and Tobago!
Everyone there was so into the Rock N Roll! We
made lots of great friends, tried new foods, and got
to see and be a part of a different culture. It
was awesome and we look forward to returning!
Cheers!
5/20/10 -
Be sure to listen to
the Ace & TJ show and follow Scott as he travels
across the US from Charlotte to Los Angeles with no
money. The Misfits Road Trip leaves Charlotte on
Thursday morning (June 20th) in a limo with nothing
but one tank of gas and their goal is to reach Los
Angeles by earning money along the way any way
possible.
4/23/10 -

hair metal, mixed with a lot of fun! We have
lots of surprises that's going to go along with this
show also in the upcoming future. The Paparazzi

10/29/09 - What's a goin' on? OK,
we took a break to rest and recharge our batteries.
We all needed a little time to ourselves but we all
have been heavily involved in other bands. Funny
how that works. Take time off because we are
tired from the road, only to jump in another band and
get back on the road!?!? Lots of you have seen
some of us out there and have asked questions about
what's going on with us. We are cranking it back
up January 2010 to spread more of the Poison! Be
sure to keep check on the tour page as we come to your
city. Thanks for all your emails, and concerns.
Can't wait to see you all next year!
Cheers!!!
\m/

2/18/09 - WE'RE BACK!!! Sorry it's been
so long since the last update. We haven't forgot about
you. We took a couple of months off from touring to
concentrate on some other things, but we are ready to
crank it up again. Everyone has had some really
exciting things happening on the time off (more on
that later) but now it's time to get back to doing
what we do best. We are excited about hitting a few of
our favorite spots in March including The Omni in
Toledo, Ohio which is just a killer venue as well as
Rock n Roll Heaven in Buffalo, New York where we
always have a good time. We are staying really busy
with some other projects which is why we haven't been
on the road as much as usual, but we hope to see all
of our friends real soon. We have some very cool
things in the works, so stay tuned.
Cheers!!!
\m/
11/1/08 - Whats a goin on? Been a
while since we've updated, sorry but we've been pulled

the next year's tour schedule and it's looking to be
another great one. Just got back in from LA and

8/25/08 - This weekend was one for the
books. Saturday night was insane as always with our
buddies from Appetite For Destruction. They got a
little visit during their set from Bucket Head. I hope
there are some pics of this floating around out there,
If so please send them. Funny as hell! Now Friday
night we were hired to play a private party for guess
who? Kenny Chesney! What a cool guy. We really didn't
know what to expect, but he hung out with us all
night, really all night and sang every song with us.
He was in charge of the song list and called out what
ever song he wanted to do. We had an absolute great
time with Kenny and his band and crew. They know how
to party, and they know ever damn hair metal song
known to man. WOW! Ok Charlotte, you already know so
see you on the 6th of September.
Cheers!!!
\m/

change. Marietta, Ohio this is our first run in
your town. Get ready to see what the buzz is all
about, we are going to lay it on you thick.

York! Get ready for a big dose of POISON!
Cheers!!!
\m/
7/28/08 - Just returned home from

\m/
618/08 - We just finished our long
awaited return to Charleston, South Carolina and it
lived up to all the hype. Savannah, Georgia you
guys treated us like kings, such cool people to work
with. We can't
wait to come back. We are going to take a couple
weeks off just to be lazy and enjoy the summer and
catch our breath. When we return we are spending
most of the month of July rocking sunny Florida.
It's a dirty horse but somebody's got to ride it.
Everyone have a great summer, get lots of sun, do it
up, and have fun! We will see all you guys in
Florida next month!
Cheers!!!
\m/

4/28/08 - We were on a mission to turn
Alaska even wilder, the last of the wild frontiers.
All we can say is UNCLE! Damn, what a state!
You guys are insane, we had so much fun. You
welcomed us with open arms thank you so much. US
AIR thanks for keeping us in the air and your
hospitality. Captain Steve Bass with Alaska
Airlines thanks for the tour of the Cockpit.
Nobody in security took us serious when Bill told them
we had permission to board early and hang out with the
pilot in the cockpit. I loved the looks on their
faces when you said "their with me." Priceless!
Thanks to 106.3 and Rocking Ron with Alaska rock radio
and Glener with X-ROCK 95.9 Fairbanks Alaska for
pumping us up so much over our Alaska tour. All

it you know we have to work the late shift. Thanks to
all the people we had the pleasure working with
especially Greg for setting up this tour. Doran,
Star, Ethan, Adam, Andrea. You guys made our

\m/
1/6/08 - 2008 is here and POISON'D is off and
running! Charlotte NC, thank you guys for
packing that place out last night, oh my god it was

to make our way around to speak to everyone, but as
you could see you could hardly move in there.
THANK YOU for coming out! We hope you all had as
much fun as we did. This years dates are filling
up fast and we are looking forward to another good
run. Florida look out you are next to be
Poison'd! We can't wait to see you guys again,

Cheers!!!
\m/
12/18/07 - We come to the end of another great
year. Thank You guys for all the support you
continue to give us all across the country. We
have had a blast Poisoning all of you, and next year
promises to be even bigger and badder than this one.
That's when this comes into play, We have traveled the
country for the last 4 years under the
name HOLLYWEIRD with great success. Now as we
expand and the monster grows even more we have decided
with lots of careful thought and planning, also with
the advise of international agents, investors, and
endorsees. We have all came to the conclusion
that it would be best for us, and in the best interest
in supporting and paying tribute to the greatest Party
Rock Band Ever POISON. We are now POISON'D!
With this change we hope to spread even more Poison
across the world. We hope to sell even more
Official POISON Merchandise from our web site, and
also help promote the success of each member of
POISON's solo endeavors such as Bret Michaels' "Rock
Of Love" on VH1 and Rikki Rockett's "Rockett
Drum Works." We have so much respect and
gratitude toward each of those guys Bret, Bobby, C.C.,
and Rikki we want to do our best in re-enacting what
made so many kids want to be Rock Stars in the first
place. We hope this is a welcome change, and
everyone that works with us thinks it is for the best.
So with that said "Hit Me Five Times!" and "I'm
f#*&&%g Fired Up" can't wait till next year!
Cheers!!!
\m/
12/12/07 - OK, I'm so happy and excited but so
pissed off too. which you want first? I want to
leave on a good note so, first our van got stolen!
Can you believe that, also spell check on this fu%*in
bitch
is a fu*%in joke! I'm so pissed I can't type!
We did find it "the weird mobile" but our stereo was
ripped out. That's the worst thing you can do to
a traveling musician is steal his music!!! If we
knew who did this we would rip them a new ass.
What a low life piece of shit! Ok I'm done with
that, crazy I know. Bill AKA "C.C. hung out with
Marty Casey this weekend, you should remember him from
Rock
Star INXS last year. What a cool guy, go to his
site off our link page. Let him know you are
friends with us and give him much support! Also
our new tour for 2008 is becoming insane, you won't
believe all the places we are being booked! It's
going to be another great year for rock n roll!
We are going to make another whole tour with "Red,
White, and Crue! The world famous tribute to the CRUE!
It's been selling so great most venues sold out we are
going to make a second run! They are by far the
only Motley Crue tribute I would even take the time or
money to see. There are so many dumb asses as far as
tribute bands out there now it's pathetic! Sorry
I just got to let it out! Next week it will be
just the old happy Hollyweird news until then.
Cheers!!!
\m/
12/03/07 - We have never been so cold as we were
this weekend in Buffalo and Rochester, New York!
Both nights were great but cold, cold, cold. We
always have a blast and felt right at home in Buffalo.
Rochester you guys cranked it! Braving the snow
and the cold winds to pack it out and hang with us in
the Velvet Room. The entire weekend was
fabulous, the only damper we had was turning
on the news Saturday and hearing the news about one of
the greatest entertainers of all time passing away,
Evel Knievel. Not going to go into who he was
everyone knows. We met his son Robbie last year
and we hit it off from the start. We hung out
all night and had a great time, our thoughts and
prayers goes out to him and the entire Knievel family.
We would also like to thank American Made Outlaw for
sending Scott his newest hat. American Made
Outlaw makes all the hats for Bret, and we are happy
to have them designing for us now also. Until next
time,
Cheers!!!
\m/
11/26/07 - Kevin DuBrow (1955 - 2007) We just
discovered that rock icon Kevin Dubrow has passed
away. The front man for the band Quiet Riot was
found dead in his Las Vegas apartment yesterday. This
news really sucks, we have seen him perform more times
than I can remember and I had a chance to meet Kevin
last year in a Guitar Center. Quiet Riot really
had a big influence on all the bands you seen coming
out of the 80's. They are a house hold name in
the music community, with rock anthems like "Metal
Health", and "Cum On Feel The Noize" songs you know by
heart! Thanks for all the music, you will be
missed!
11/19/07 - Thanks to everyone who came out and partied
with us in South Carolina and Tennessee this past
weekend, we had a great time as always. Friday
night was insane with our buds from Appetite For
Destruction the "Ultimate G N R". Look for
many more shows like that coming up in the future.
It is an over the top show, what more could you want
in one night Poison, Motley Crue, and Guns N Roses!
INSANE! Next stop is Buffalo and Rochester, New
York. We are looking forward to seeing all you
again, so be sure to be in 100% pure party mode when
we roll in. Hope all of you have a great
Thanksgiving!
Cheers!!!
\m/
10/16/07 - What's a goin' on, it's time to get back to
work, we are gearing up for the end of the year shows.
We have a busy couple of months ahead of us, and can
not wait to come and poison all of you. We are also
booking already for 2008 and it's looking like next
year is going to be even more insane than this one
was. It's going to be hard to beat, we are being
pushed into lots of new territory, and we are
upgrading gear and tour schedules to meet the demands
that are ahead. Went back to Hollywood for a bit
during our few weeks off and mixed some business with
pleasure, love that town and miss it already.
Our next stop is the big Halloween show. This is
always one of our favorite shows we do all year.
Everyone comes dressed in crazy costumes and are there
to flat out party. If
you have ever been to a Hollyweird Halloween show then
well, enough said. If we do host one in your
town then don't miss it. IT IS CRAZY! Be
sure to keep checking back with us for the next few
weeks, as we said we've got a lot going on and we will
keep you updated as it unfolds.
Cheers!!!
\m/
9/11/07 - Ain't looking for nothing but a good time,
and I'll be damned if we didn't find it. I hate
to sound like a broken record but this was one of the
best weekends we have ever had playing rock n roll.
You guys are just great. We are re booking right
now to come back and do up again. This was our
first run in Baltimore, Maryland and all I can say is
why in the hell have we not been here before.
You guys are so cool, and rock n roll is alive and
well in your town that's for damn sure. Buffalo
another great night, you guys have been their for us
from day one and it's only getting better! Thank
all you guys for coming out and spending your nights
with us, lets keep this train rolling as long as we
can and we promise to never let the party down.
See you again really soon!
Cheers!!!
\m/
9/4/07 - It's been way too long
Buffalo, New York! So we will have to make up
for lost time. It's always a good time in your
town this time in a brand new club. We are going
to break it in right Poison style! Baltimore
Maryland, It's going to be one hell of a night.
We've been looking forward hitting your town for a
while now. We are going to deliver what we
promised and that's one kick ass party both nights!
Hope to see all you guys there!
Cheers!!!
\m/
8/21/07 - Viva Las Vegas! We spent the
weekend in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada to visit with
our favorite band in the world POISON! The show
was great, in a absolute stunning concert hall, The
Pearl Concert Theatre at The Palms Hotel and Casino.
We had such a great time, a sold out show.
Poison has such a great vibe going and all the guys
including their entire road crew are so cool and
really nice people, can't wait to do it again.
The show Rock Of Love is going strong, continually
being the #1 show on VH1 week after week. If you
haven't seen the show yet you have got to find the
time and make yourself, they are constantly replaying
the show all the time, it's insane! We stayed at
The Luxor. This is the Hotel and Casino that
Criss Angel conducts the TV series on A&E from "MINDFREAK"
A killer place to stay, very nice staff made us fill
right at home. Lost a lot of money made a lot of
friends! While in Vegas we visited lots of
casinos and tried to take in the whole Vegas
atmosphere which is
impossible to grasp with words. If you are under
21 years of age you have absolutely no business in Las
Vegas! It is the Disney Land for adults. Now
HOLLYWEIRD is cranked up, the bus idling and warming
up for our long trip down to New Orleans, and Baton
Rouge, Louisiana this weekend! It's time to let off
some bottled up steam and Poison your towns! I've got
that feeling that this is going to be one kick ass
party and we can't wait to be a part of it! If you are
anywhere within driving distance this is going to be a
weekend you just don't want to miss. We are
fired up and ready to just let it rip! Until
Friday.
Cheers!!!
\m/
8/6/07 - We just ripped the roof off of
Amos' Southend in Charlotte NC. Tremendous
crowd! Thank you guys so much for coming out and
hanging with us on a Saturday night. What a
night of rock n roll. Poison, Motley Crue, and
Guns n Roses on the same bill was just insane.
We love hanging with our boys from Appetite For
Destruction. Every time we get to perform
together it's just bananas! Check this out..
just announced on September 5 or 6 not sure exactly
which night as of yet but will be confirmed by the end
of the week. RATT will be at AMOS' SOUTHEND in
Charlotte, NC and RED,WHITE and CRUE - the world
famous Motley Tribute will be opening for them.
This show will be insane. Be sure to check
www.redwhiteandcrue.us for more details! Also we
shot a live video Saturday night, it is being worked
on as we speak and should be up for downloading by the
end of this month! Thanks again to all you
crazies, love you guys, and see you soon!
Cheers!!!
\m/
7/24/07 - What a great weekend.
Greenville SC. You guys rock every time we are down
your way. Great crowd we love performing in your
town, and we will be back real soon! Augusta GA.
Where do I begin, off the hook night! You guys
brought it. It was our first of many returns to
Augusta, thank you for your warm welcome.
Raleigh NC. Could not have been any better. We
did a benefit show for the Ronald McDonald House and
had such a good time! We hope we raised a lot of
money for you. Our opening band was "Smashed
Alley" freaking amazing! Glamed out hair metal
done up right! We will for sure do some more
shows with those guys! Long weekend, but
absolutely great. Lets go crash,
until next time.
Cheers!!!
\m/
7/14/07 - Hope everyone is enjoying
their summer as much as we are. Had a little
time off to hit the beaches, lakes, and pools.
Sometimes it's hard to spend an entire day and
sometimes night riding across the country with a bunch
of guys to a gig when you are looking out the window
at a perfect 90 degree day. That's the hard part
of the job, you guys make it all worth it at the
shows. So within the next couple of weeks we
will be hitting some of our favorite spots in South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina.
We are gearing up for a fantastic fall and winter
tour. Don't forget to watch VH1 This Sunday for
"Rock Of Love with Bret Michaels". This will
definitely be entertaining to say the least, Bret has
been promoting this very hard along with VH1 and we
hear the show is going to be awesome! Bret has
been riding around on this years tour on a bus that is
completely wrapped in the Rock of Love advertisement
complete with a big picture of him on the side.
So Scott "Bret of Hollyweird" gets spoofed a little,
you can check it out on Pic of Week page. We
will see some of you
guys next week and we can't wait to Poison all of you!
Cheers!!!
\m/
6/21/07 - If you have a chance to catch
Poison on tour this year you have got to go!
It's a big new show with lots of Laser Lights, Flames,
Explosions, and of course lots and lots of Confetti!
We had a chance to hang out with them some during
their first few shows, and they were so cool to us
like always! Ratt was killer, we talked a little to
John Corabi, and Robbie Crane, Super nice guys!
Veins of Jenna rocked! Old school rock n roll at
its best. Check out the PIC of the week. This is
the best summer concert of the year hands down!
We are currently working on a new set and we are
adding some of the cover tunes off their new CD
POISON'D. Buy that CD it is awesome. Be
sure to get the copy with their version of "Sexy Back"
originally performed by Justin Timberlake. It is
just bad ass. You can buy that straight from our
web site along with brand new 2007 tour merchandise of
Poison. We will see you guys very soon. Until
then have a great summer!
Cheers!!!
\m/
5/6/07 - Thank You Charlotte, NC!
You guys make this job so fun. Killer crowd and
you guys rocked all night! We love to see all of
you wearing the Poison concert shirts. Big
appreciations go out to 106.5 The End & WRFX The Fox
99.7 for promoting the show. Thanks to Mr. Bill
from The Fox for pushing us on his show, "Fly low and
beat the radar!" The Kiss Army was just amazing!
Whenever we get a chance to recreate the "Rock The
Nation" tour with them it's always so much fun. Look
them up on our links page, if you get a chance to see
them live, go! Be sure to check out some live footage
from the Charlotte show on the Hollyweird TV page.
Next stop is "The Sunshine State" Florida! We
have a three night run starting in Jacksonville Beach.
That night we are with a Motley Crue tribute "Red,
White, and Crue!" The best Motley tribute we
have ever seen! If you live in the area try to
make it out. Love you guys, see you soon!
Cheers!!!

4/24/07 - What's up everybody, Kicked
off the Live N Loud 2007 Summer Tour this weekend
starting with the town that always welcomes us with
open arms Atlanta GA. Got to hang out and party
it up with our good friend Johnny Esposito. He always
shows us a good time, can't wait to get down there
again.
Radio Cult a kick ass band finally got a night off
and was so cool to spend it at our show. What a fun
crew they are, check out their web site on our links
page! We made our first trip ever to Roanoke,
Virginia Saturday night. We will definitely be back
for sure! Awesome city, we had such a good time.
So many Poison fans, in their Poison concert shirts
made us feel right at home. Here is the kicker! We
love you guys more than anything and will try our best
to make you love us, But! We had some of our wardrobe
stolen this weekend which isn't cool at all. We spend
a lot of money and go through a lot of work to make
our show as authentic as possible. When things like
this happens it really hurts, enough said we'll move
on. We have lots of exciting news we hope to unveil in
the following weeks including lots more shows adding,
more videos,
merchandise and so on, and so on. Poisons new album "Poison'd"
will be in stores June 5! It's going to be a total
cover song album, we've heard a few
songs from it already and it kicks ass! See you guys
soon!
Cheers!!!
\m/
4/17/07 - So here we are again. We have
been getting emails left and right wanting to know
what's happening with us, where we are, and what we
are doing. It's called running away from the world,
gathering our thoughts, or just being lazy for a while
and regrouping. You need this every now and then.
Spent some time in one of the most incredible places
on earth "Memphis, Tennessee" or to be more exact
"Graceland" or even better "Elvis Presley, Tennessee!"
This town revolves completely around The King of Rock
N Roll himself! Everywhere you went, and I mean
absolutely everywhere this is what you seen and heard
"Elvis Presley" and we loved it! To walk through
Elvis's house "Graceland" the same dwelling that he
lived in for years and to stand in front of his grave
site is absolutely over whelming! The presence he had,
the money he is still generating, the cars, the jets,
having to rent a movie theatre just to see a movie he
wanted to see, the rings, watches, stage clothes,
entourage, the whole Rock Star image that he still
possess today and will for the next who knows
generations is, how do I put into words? Astronomical
to me! "T.C.B." Taking Care of Business in a Flash!
God Bless Him. Got a chance to meet the very
nice, and respected Mr. Bernard Lansky. Mr. Lansky was
the tailor for Elvis for many years! He told us some
old Elvis stories from the 50's and we bought some
clothes from him. Such a cool man, and treated us as
if we're Kings of Rock N Roll also. You can see a pic
of him and Scott "Bret" on the pic of the week.
Well we are back to business now. We are currently
lining up the "LIVE N LOUD" 2007 North American Tour!
We are well on our way and plan to Poison the entire
U.S.A. this year! See all of you soon!
Cheers!!!
\m/
2/9/07 - What's up everyone!
Got to hang with our boy last night Kip Winger, what a
class act guy! Very cool, and talented person.
www.kipwinger.com check him out on our links page. Had
a great time, talked a little with New Rock 106.5 The
End radio personality "Kristen" very nice person. The
End always does a great job promoting our shows, we do
appreciate that! All together great night. Taking the
month of February off to work on the original project
some. Not really getting into a rush with this, just
letting it come as it wants. Next stop for Hollyweird
is Buffalo NY, hope the snow melts soon!
Cheers!!!
\m/
1/30/07 - Just got in from a great
weekend Poisoning Alabama and Mississippi. A perfect
weekend with the exception of a blown out tire in the
middle of Atlanta, Georgia rush hour. We all had the
chance to hang out again with our buddies Appetite For
Destruction, The Ultimate Tribute to G N R. Always an
over the top good time with those guys. Big thanks to
our newest bud Brent Wildman helping us out on drums
while our Rockett is
taking care of some personal bizz. Be sure to check
out the newest video clips on Hollyweird TV, taking
this past weekend. Oh yeah the BIGGEST thanks of all
goes out to all you crazies making the drive and
taking your whole weekend to see both shows. WOW
that was so cool of all you! We hope we made it
worth it to you, that really means so much to us.
See you guys again soon.
Cheers!!!
\m/
1/8/07 - Happy New Year everyone.
Thanks for making 2006 such a successful and fun year!
We are well on our way to making 2007 bigger and
better than last year. We are working with new agents
in new markets, also a new production and management
teams. Big, big thanks to all you guys buying so much
Hollyweird merchandise during our Christmas sell. We
are coming out with brand new logos and artwork for
all our merchandise set to be out by February. Again
Happy New Year! See you soon!
Cheers!!!
\m/
12/23/06 - Wishing everyone a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Cheers!!!
\m/
11/21/06 - A million thanks to all you
guys coming out and throwing a party with us in New
Jersey and New York City this weekend. We had a great
time and can't wait to see you all again. Had a little
time to hang out in some our favorite spots, one being
The Lit Lounge down off of Saint Marks Place in NY,
also shopping at Trash and Vaudeville. Off the hook
shop! We had dinner in Little Italy, and made a quick
run through China Town. Time Square is awesome, but if
you are ever in the Manhattan area these other
communities are killer places to visit. We hope
everyone has a great Thanksgiving weekend, and safe
travel during the holidays. See you guys soon!
Cheers!!!
\m/
11/16/06 - What up everyone. New
Orleans was a fun show, everyone there was just too
cool to us. The city is still rebuilding. Even after a
year they are so much damage, it was unbelievable .
This was our first trip back to New Orleans since
Katrina hit. Our show last year was canceled at this
venue due to the hurricane, and we just now got a
chance to return. They still have a lot of work to do
until they are back 100% structurally, but their
spirits and pride are already there. God Bless you
guys! Atlanta, well you know it's always a party with
you. You are like a home away from home. Big thanks to
Johnny Esposito for bailing us out. Return trips back
to both cities are in the works, show dates will be
announced soon. Now for New Jersey & New York. It's
your turn! See you this weekend.
Cheers!!!
\m/
11/08/06 - Step right up, Step right
up! Brand new Hollyweird merchandise for sale,
click on the merchandise page and have at it. Shirts,
hats, mugs, you name it. Hollyweird TV has been on
fire. More concert footage being uploaded soon. This
weekend it's off to "The Big Easy" New Orleans LA.
Then stopping by to one of our favorite stops Atlanta
GA. Next week we head up north to Poison New Jersey,
and New York City. See you guys soon!
Cheers!!!
\m/
10/27/06 -
Crossing 7 states and traveling around 2000 miles to
spread our Poison across America! Wild run we just got
off of, it seams to get better every time. Had a
chance to visit the grave site of the original bad ass
of all traveling musicians. Hank Williams. If your in
this business and you know what it's like to get up
before daylight to make it to the next town for sound
check. Play your show until closing, pack up and maybe
if your lucky get to close your eyes for a few
minutes. Then its right back on the road for the same
routine the next night. If you know anything about the
legacy of Hank and how he lived, then travel down the
actual same Lost Highway that he did going through
Montgomery AL. Playing music for a living, then stand
looking at the grave of Hank Williams himself, you get
a feeling that's hard to explain. My respects were
paid sincerely. Stopped in Texas, then to Louisiana
and performed to what I believe the longest set we
ever did. Nobody wanted the night to end, neither did
we. We will be back very soon, next stop is New
Orleans LA, then over to Atlanta GA.
Cheers!!!
\m/
10/13/06 - This is just a sneak peak
into our rehearsal hall. We do have a serious
practice every now and then. These days it's
mostly working on some of our new original material,
or running through some old metal jams we come up with
like Motley, Skid Row, LA Guns, then we switch
instruments, you know just something to break the
routine. Routing tour schedules, telling lies,
and the occasional business meetings. You have
got to check out Hollyweird TV next week. We
will have new videos up and running, funny as hell!
Cheers!!!
10/9/06 - Yo Yo, a quick update just to
keep everyone in the loop of what's up. Not much
going on, we took a little time off to keep us fresh,
work on some new material and equipment. Scott
met this dude Dextre Tripp of the Dextre Tripp Thrill
Show. This guy is nuts, but a bad ass performer.
He juggles chainsaws, walks tightropes on fire, all
kinds of wild stunts. We love this kind of
stuff. It won't be long before we are blazing
the roads again, and we are ready to see you guys
again too. Until then.
Cheers!!!
9/19/06 - If you wasn't there, I can't
start to explain it. We got to perform with our best
friends Appetite For Destruction "The Ultimate GNR
Tribute". Gave them a lesson of tough love about
keeping their doors locked at night. HA HA! Now
we have to watch our backs. Had one hell of a show!
Anytime you can catch a "GUNS N POISON" show, you will
get a lot more than your money's worth! Both
Tennessee shows were fantastic. You guys are so nuts,
we leave your shows feeling just absolutely beat up
and exhausted but in a good way! Going to take a short
break, repair our equipment and minds and them Poison
them again in Alabama and Louisiana! I love it! Until
then.
Cheers!!!
9/14/06 - What up everybody!
Thanks to everyone in the Myrtle Beach, SC area for
coming out and raising pure hell with us this past
weekend! Charlotte, NC, another great time in
the books. You guys in Charlotte kick ass so
hard we are coming back New Years Eve to rock in 2007
with you! We got to know a couple new bands,
"Lucky 13" down in SC, a bad ass band, "Strip City
Sinners" in NC, outrageous sleazy rock just the way we
like it. Now for Tennessee, ready or not here we
come. Knoxville Friday, Chattanooga Saturday.
You guys know what's about to happen, total train
wreck! We hope to see all our Tennessee buddies
out, we have got a lot of requests on songs that we
are going to pull out for you guys and make this
weekend one big Poison party! Be sure to keep
check on our Pic pages, they are always changing, the
Pic of the week is always very cool. Usually
something off the wall, someone or maybe something we
run into on the road, tattoos, celebrities we meet,
all kinds of craziness! Until next time.
Cheers!!!
8/28/06 - Ahh Atlanta, what a great
time we always have with you. You guys all know we
were at the show doing our appearance Friday, and our
contact page has nearly locked down with questions and
comments concerning the incident. It's all been blown
way out of proportion. You can be best friends and
have your moments. Lets leave it at that. The post
party show was great. Thanks to Johnny and The
Concourse for having us, and being so hospitable. We
made some new friends, seen some old ones. Hope to see
you all again this fall, we have more Atlanta dates in
the works.
Cheers!!!
8/18/06 - Where to start, Hung out with
our boys EVICK this weekend, got a copy of their new
CD "Sunset to Sunset." It rocks guys! You
can get to their site off our links page. Buy
their CD and tell them HOLLYWEIRD sent you! This
is the Bret Michaels Band "BMB" when they are not
doing their original material. Great friends of
ours. We are working on some original material
also that's coming together awesome. We can't
wait to blast it for you. Talking to some new
promoters that are going to push us in some new
markets, so we can Poison the rest of the world.
This week we are off to Atlanta, GA to perform @ the
post Poison party! Let's blow it out all
weekend, this is going to be off the hook. Hope
to see all you guys out!
Cheers!!!
7/31/06 - WOW! Another over the
top weekend. Thanks for the great turn out.
It looked to us that everyone was having a damn good
time, and so did we. Big thanks to ROCK 103 in
Columbus, GA for the live remote Friday.
Alabama, you guys are just nuts! We are
currently working on some return dates so stay tuned
to our site for another dose of Poison! Mail has
been pouring in from New York about our recent date
changes. We are coming back to all areas of New
York this fall, the dates are being scheduled now.
Some routing issues had to be worked out in order to
make this run a success financially, and physically!
We can't wait to see you guys again.
Cheers!!!
7/24/06 - Georgia and Alabama...get
ready to be Poisoned this weekend! We are fired
up and ready to run. If you're in the Columbus,
GA area, be sure to tune in to ROCK 103FM tomorrow for
a live interview with HOLLYWEIRD! Also ROCK
103FM Columbus will broadcast live via remote at the
show on Friday night at The 4th Quarter! Then we
wreck Mobile, AL Saturday with our partners in crime
Appetite For Destruction "The Ultimate Tribute to GnR!"
Hope to see you guys out this weekend!
Cheers!!!
7/11/06 - Hope everyone is having as
great of summer as we are. We have added so many
new songs to our set! You hardcore Poison fans
are going to really love it. We are taking a
couple weeks off for vacations, rehearsals, and
equipment repairs. Our road rigs are pretty beat
up as you can imagine. Our next schedule stop is
Columbus, GA, and Mobile, AL the last weekend of this
month. Can't wait to see you guys again.
Until then, let's go get some more sun!
Cheers!!!
6/19/06 - AAHHH Sweet Virginia, It
happened again! Thanks for the warm welcome you
always give us. It was just one of those
weekends you want to keep on reliving. We
promise it's not going to take us that long before we
see you guys again. Big thanks goes out to Beth
and Neal of Grove's Winchester Harley Davidson!
The shirts rock! I can see right now it's going
to be a damn good summer!
Cheers!!!
6/11/06 - Virginia, it has been way too
long but here we come full steam ahead! Hope to
see you guys out in Winchester and Fairfax this coming
weekend. Last time we were in town , which was
probably a year ago, we had a great time. Can't
wait to Poison you guys again. Check out some of
these pics that are supposed to be artsy filtered,
they just look blurry to us. Ha Ha!
5/29/06 - The only thing hotter than Hollyweird this
weekend was that gorgeous Florida sun! Two
nights packed out and the people could not have been
nicer to us. We look forward to seeing you all
again late summer. A special THANK YOU goes out
this Memorial Day to all the Veterans who have fought
to keep this great country free! Our prayers are
extended out to all the soldiers out there protecting
us today. We hope you all return home safe and
soon, and thank you!
Cheers!!!
5/22/06
- This weekend, Bobby and CC terrorized Myrtle Beach,
SC at the 2006 Bike Rally, had a chance to catch Vince
Neil perform live at a local venue, and hang out with
members of Vince's band at the Sebastian Bach show at
Club Kryptonite (see pics page). Now it's back
to business, off to Florida we go! See you guys
this weekend in the Sunshine State.
Cheers!!!
515/06
- What's up guys? As you can tell from the last
few weeks, our site is always changing from week to
week. Be sure to check it out at least once a
week for updates. Big thanks going out to the
WWE this week for having us at their RAW event.
Check the pic out on the PICS page @ Pic of the week.
Hollyweird TV is going to have a lot of new stuff
coming any day now, not all music related "you'll
see!". Lots of new dates added across the
country and building as we speak. Hope to see
all of you at some of our shows.
Cheers!!!
5/8/06 -
3 full length shows, 3 different states, in around 28
hours!!! That's what we accomplished this
weekend in full blown Poison style, and had a damn
good time doing it. Greensboro, NC was great.
Seen some old friends and made some new ones.
Then with a couple hours of so called sleep, we were
whisked away to Atlanta, GA where we performed that
afternoon to over 6,000 people! This was one for
the books. Everyone there was great to us.
Big thanks going out to the people with 99X FM
Atlanta, Southern Comfort, Miller, and Budweiser.
From there we headed to Montgomery, AL and rocked out
with a kick ass crowd, and did it on pure adrenaline.
Electric Circus were way beyound our expectations!
Check them out whenever you get a chance. One of
the nicest and talented bands we have had the pleasure
to perform and hang out with. Check out their
site from our link page. Another great weekend
for us and we hope for you guys too. Thank you
so much for coming out to all our shows, we have such
a good time with you! See you at the next stop.
Cheers!!!
"Hollyweird blew it up! They
really are Poison, and they really do rock!"
-Mike Kee 99X FM Atlanta, GA.
5/1/06 -
Gearing up for a marathon weekend. Friday night,
May 5th we'll be in Greensboro, NC for a big Cinco De
Mayo show. We have a Van Halen tribute opening
up. Should be off the hook. We perform
there from 12 midnight until 2:00am, leave Greensboro
by 6:00am to be in Atlanta, GA by 12 Noon. Whea!!!
Soundcheck and perform there from 2:00pm until 4:00pm
at the Dunwoody Beer Fest for 99X FM in Atlanta.
Jump off stage and haul ass to Montgomery, AL for
soundcheck there at 7:00pm. We have a kick ass
band Electric Circus to open up for us, and we perfom
later around 11:00pm. You ask can it be done?
Yes it can and will be All In The Name of Rock!
Thanks to all the people in Canada
treating us so good during our visit. We are
currently working on a mini tour through your country
starting as early as September this year. You
guys rock. Can not wait to return!
Cheers!!!
4/24/06 -
Hope everyone had a good weekend. Hollyweird
went their separate ways for some much needed rest and
anything but the business related weekend.
Rockett bought a new Harley Davidson Friday. Him
and CC went for a long ride through the country on
their bikes. The trade off of amplifiers blaring
in your ears for the earth shattering rumble of
straight pipes echoing in your head is somewhat poetic
at times. As for Bret and Bobby, they headed off
road and jumped a boat to the wetlands of the deep,
deep south, where there is nothing to hear but
crickets and your own twisted thoughts that fill your
mind. Now it's back to work, let's rock!
Cheers!!!
4/15/06
- What to say about this week in rock news but "HELL
YEAH!!!" Another SOLD OUT SHOW in Raleigh!
Thanks to all you crazy people in Rollywood tearing
down the house with us and "Appetite For Destruction!"
It turned out to be the night we all thought it was
going to be! Also got the chance to party with
Lee of "Rebel Son" That was just plain out nuts!
Be sure to check his band out on our links page.
Also listened to the new album by SIKK FM on our trip
down to Raleigh, great original rock. Love them
guys, you can check them off the links page too.
Hats off to Poison, their new CD
"Poison 20 Years of Rock" debut @ # 17 on Billboard.
From where I sit it looks like Rock N Roll is alive
and well.
Cheers!!!
4/9/06
- Thanks for everyone coming out and riding them
Tennessee storms out with us in Chattanooga Friday
night. You guys rock! Saturday in Atlanta,
always a party! We did the show with a Motley
Crue tribute "Motley Crude" and had a blast! We
had a great weekend, got to spend some time with our
buddies out in Georgia "Uncrowned". We always
have a good time with them.
Ok, this coming Friday we will be
tearing down the house with our best friends on the
road, "Appetite For Destruction" - the ultimate
tribute to Guns N Roses. This is all going down
in Raleigh, NC @ The Lincoln Theatre. If you
have been to one of our shows together, you know...if
you haven't and you live anywhere within driving
distance, you're in for one hell of a party, and we
can't wait!
Cheers!!!
4/6/06
- WOW, What a F$#%ing weekend in Syracuse and Buffalo,
New York! Sorry it took so long for the news to

upstate, can't wait to return. As for
Chattanooga, TN & Atlanta, GA, this coming
weekend...Just be ready to be POISONED!
Cheers!!!
