Bret Michaels on the Darker Sides of the Music Business

[@peterhargett9702]

Bret's a good man, great Dad ,I can tell from this interview he's a genuine big heart of gold with a warrior spirit! much love and respect brother, true rock roll legend 🤘💪

[@yogamazing]

Bret, thanks for sharing your story and Dan, you are still the king of interviews!

[@CoryFarris]

Bret is a great American entertainer and rock star. We’ve seen him with Poison and solo. Both are so much fun! We love him! His tickets are worth every penny.

[@Jebbie1976]

Bret Michael's is a great musician & an even better person. I've been to several Poison concerts & they were all fantastic.♥

[@TheMisterGriswold]

Kudos to Dan Rather for treating this interview seriously.

[@geoffspakes]

Why wouldn’t he? He’s Dan F’n Rather.

[@daviddigital6887]

Why wouldn't he, it's a serious subject. Brett's a successful business man not a circus clown.

Pretty Kool 👊 Stay strong Bret. My bro passed type 1 diabietes .... RIP Bro✌️Live life. Peace, luv and good happiness stuff 🙏🤘🥁🎸💙🇦🇺

Mine too. 12/13/2023. At 47… stuffs no joke

[@groovefunkel]

Grunge dismissed the greatness of bands like Poison. These guys had incredible talent.

[@longhorn2615]

Because hair metal was played out.

[@SaintMartins]

Wrong. There's no reason for bands like Poison to complain. During the 1990's Gun's & Roses, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Kiss still sold a million records & played arenas. It's all about good music vs bad music.

[@thetruthchannel349]

@@longhorn2615 *No because Grunge was the White side Op that Gangst Rap was for the Black Side. Had nothing to do with anything playing out. It was manufactured deconstruction.*

[@collinjamesguitar]

Poison was always great. Bret must of all. Part of the hair metal thing but they would have been just as successful in any decade with those songs. Dress those tracks up with different production and they still sell. Great songs are great songs.

[@MrMarAnthony]

Since I was a kid and didn't know much (because I was a kid) about life but could tell this man was a nice guy; he seems genuine, young and alive but kind.. and now after many years, I can clearly say it without even meeting him in person. Bret Michaels is an amazing human being... a total rockstar in my books!

[@MockeyMokey9958]

To these kids up coming bands- GET A GREAT LAWYER who is experienced in contract laws!!!! Also watch who u sign your music to because if u sell it the company that owns can sell it to anyone and you can't sue! Get right people and right management 👌

[@beverlysmith6539]

Every rose has it's thorn is a great emotional song 🎵 🥀

[@BIGFOOT98499]

I met Brett when I was working as a tow truck driver in 96.. towed his pick up from San diego to Ventura with him and his body guard.. He bought us Jack in the box and tipped me $40 ... Very nice guy and considering the long ride in a flatbed tow truck cab not really meant for 3 full grown men he was very gracious and dealt with me being a bit star struck lmao.. He even helped run the controls to unload the truck !!

[@cassiepittman1489]

I have always been a huge fan of Dan and Brett✨thanks for sharing your stories with us 🥹great interview,guys✌️💙🤩

[@officialbretmicheals_music]

Hello

[@azwris]

Flesh & Blood is one of the best albums ever.

[@davidcurtis4478]

Always love Dan's interviews, very respectful! 👍👍

[@Deetroiter]

I'd love to see Bret take the wig off, just once. Absolutely love the man, but I want to see him embrace it. Joe Lynn Turner took off the wig (Alopecia) and he looks absolutely Bad AZZ! I know for a fact that Bret would look equally awesome.

[@officialbretmicheals_music]

Hi

[@Jebbie1976]

​@@officialbretmicheals_music Stop pretending to be a celebrity. Reported.

[@EnriqueGarcia-tn2lf]

All my respect to Bret!!!👑👑👑🫡🫡🫡🫡

[@collinjamesguitar]

Bret is awesome. Have always been a big fan of him as an artist and a guy. Rare that you get to love both! Good man, Bret!

[@SHOUTband]

Bret is such a great guy, i wish he made a new solo album!

[@andyknighthere]

Saw Poison with Def Lepard once at Blossom in Cleveland. Great performance and Poison was awesome. Great energy. Only remember the day because on our way to the concert we started hearing reports that Michael Jackson had died. Though it had not been confirmed at that point. By the time we got back to the car post concert it was everywhere that Jackson had died.

[@briany6989]

Great interview, awesome guy, I knew nothing about him

[@ckjr444]

BRETT IS ROCK AND ROLL 100 PERCENT HONEST RIGHT ON!

[@Spike-w5o]

I play 3 chords uhhh G and so ERHT HAS EASY CHORDS. GOOD SONG !

[@shaneholbeck6697]

What a great interview.

[@billsultzbach7079]

Hate the music and style, respect the artist! Good for you Brett! Love from lancaster Pa!

[@tkreitler]

Hate is a pretty strong word but Poison wasn't my cup of tea either. Bret seems like a good guy though.

[@billsultzbach7079]

@tkreitler ok...can't stand? Is that PC enough?! 😆

[@daviddigital6887]

Poison is not my thing either but he deserves respect for surviving in a tough business

[@edbain6495]

Sweet wig, bro

[@toddbob55]

Brett seems like a wonderful person......

[@LEIFanevret]

Ive never liked the band beeing that shallow rock style but this guy Bret is a good man you sense it and really good interviewer

[@silverfox1087]

Love Dan ❤& Bret ❤

[@LauraRoberts-f9f]

He could absolutely write country songs if he isnt already🥀❤

[@officialbretmicheals_music]

Hello

[@garypatek8060]

Bret should be doing a commercial for “Just for Men”!😂😂😂

[@sethkaicer319]

You'll be old before you know it pal

[@AndyNYouTube]

He looks like Capt Jack Sparrow now

[@dougdillard9006]

I SO MUCH LOVE HONESTY.................

[@sethkaicer319]

Bret Michaels is as cool as the other side of the pillow.

[@Danny-fs1hk]

Bret is just plain cool!

[@danielschachtel5484]

Bret was smart that they had control over their money.many bands were destroyed by the managers and the money

[@richardbelisle4807]

Been along time brett….but man do I get it…I think apart of my heart will always be missing

[@503punxoioioi9]

I would say he uses a No. 1 clipper blade on his facial hair.

[@Spike-w5o]

Is that Brets real Hair 😮 ?

[@pollyanna147]

wig-dana

[@LauraRoberts-f9f]

No❤

[@bflo5210]

Arrrrrrrrgh he be the next jack sparrow

[@thediehardarkansasrazorbak7288]

All these years later Chemo is still dear to his heart.

[@jasonscott6906]

Who thinks it’s a good idea to have Dan Rather interviewing musicians.

[@okgo5152]

Your mom

[@garypatek8060]

Hey Bret, it’s 2024….stop it with the headband and eye liner.😂😂😂

[@mjvanderpas2284]

That's like telling Nike to get rid of their logo already.

[@scottfannin5051]

I think the headband keeps the wig in place.

[@BobRock420]

How bout you keep your dumbass remarks to yourself. This guy is a LEGEND.

[@Mr.Monster1313]

Wig wig WIG WIG WIG !!!!!

[@SaintMartins]

There's no reason for bands like Poison to complain about the 1990's Alternative Rock explosion destroying their careers. During the 1990's Gun's & Roses, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Kiss still sold a million records & played arenas. It's all about good music vs bad music.

[@Belluser-we1uc5cb2l]

Bret is a good looking man, please stop wearing cheap wigs and makeup.

[@viletantrum]

Dan sucks! Rick Beato is the music interview pro...if you are not being interviewed by Rick Beato, fire your agent.

[@ashleyarrua6095]

3:56 cmon Bret, you're overacting there.

[@cassiepittman1489]

Have you ever lost a best friend or a loved one?🥹
