Poison's producer talks (Stevie Nicks mention)

[Macfan4life]

Interesting interview. Poison's producer calls the band incompetent and not musically talented. They got access to a studio to record their first album because a "coked out" Stevie Nicks had the studio rented but she never ever showed up. So the studio members allowed the band to show up but they never let the owners of the studio know. They had no money to rent a studio and their first album cost just over $20,000 to record. He says "if that fat bitch ever showed up they would have to leave." No wonder Brett Michael seemed to be loyal to Stevie. The story I remember hearing was their tours crossed paths in 1986 and they had a brief encounter with her at an airport. But her absence from the recording studio led to their career and stardom. I would be loyal to her too. Interesting that the crappy RAL sessions indirectly led to more crappy music by other artists BTW, I always could tell Poison's drummer was not a good drummer simply by watching their videos
