I absolutely love this!! He seems to really appreciate where he’s from, the simple things in life that he never lost because he’s in one of my favorite bands…which Poison was the first band I ever saw when they opened up for David Lee Roth on his Skyscraper Tour. Got a Poison T too!!🤘🏻Next time your in Springfield Massachusetts, RR, take a tour of the Indian Motorcycle Factory… if you haven’t already. Be safe & God Bless to You & your Family.

Bobby! I understand about not encroaching on the rest of the band. It's still so great to see Bobby. I always assumed he was the quiet one from the band. Your wife is amazing. I understand not wanting to be on camera... I'm the same! I enjoyed seeing where you grew up. Not much different from my state. Beautiful there, too. We hope to see more paranormal vlogs. Safe travels to you and the rest of the band.

Serious question….if you could go back in time and stand in that driveway with 22 year old RR, could you ever imagine that 38 years later you would still be playing to 30K people just 20 mins down the road? Amazing! My 14 year old son and I had a great time at the show. It warmed my heart looking over at him seeing raise his hands in the air clapping along to Nothing But A Good Time…..thanks for the memories! Also, if I may, it literally, and I mean LITERALLY brought a smile to my face seeing Deuce in this video…..amazing musician and, even more so, human being!

I've seen plenty of the "backstage goings-on" so to see what you do outside of the venue while on tour is actually very interesting. As a kid, I always wondered if band members walked through the cities they stopped in and, if so, what they did other than soundcheck and meet n greets. This is COOL! See you in AZ!

Wow man - some of the irony in this vlog is just crazy! Me, the wife, mom, aunt, sis and 3 of her friends were all at our hometown Cleveland show last night! Mom’s eyes welled up more than once remembering me and all my High School band mates and friends with Poison (along with Crue and others) as the soundtrack for that time in our lives. Nothing like sharing those memories with mom. (Okay, my eyes welled up too..). Now, on to the irony…..I was out on a ride with the wife (think I had an 02 VRod at the time and wanted to take her past the house I grew up in about 15 min SW of downtown CLE. When we went by - there was a for sale sign, by owner -and it was an “Open House”. I had to stop. We walked around like interested buyers and as we were ready to leave, I had to break down and tell the owners I grew up in that house. 2nd grade till 11th. Owner looked at me and said “So….it was you!” 😳 Oh shit….. Turns out he had a clogged toilet shortly after moving in…..pulled the commode off the floor and found……Star Wars action figures! Had to have been there for years. Then he alluded to a “Hidden Treasure” when remodeling the bathroom. He was kind enough not to elaborate- but I knew he meant the stolen porn mags under the vanity in the air return….😂. More stuff that just grabbed me in the vlog - the Triumph dealer is right in front of the apartment I had in my early 20’s on W.152. Anyway - great show - and thank you!. Oh - I have a bunch of drum cover vids on my page, along with a 2 part Tail of The Dragon ride. Don’t know the tour schedule - but if you get into The area, its a great ride…..but not as nice as 89a in Arizona between Prescott and Jerome! Don’t miss it!

Dude, true story but first I wanna say I was 16 when Talk Dirty to Me came out and Poison been in my top 5 bands since along with AC/DC, GnR, Tesla n Crue. Got to meet you guys after a show at Star Lake Pavilion in Pitt, Pa after a show. I was just enjoying the show and these 2 chicks walked by and one slapped me on the ass. An hour later in line to get a beer somebody asked me where I got the backstage pass sticker from on my ass...lol. There were 3 of us but only 1 pass so we see a place in the fence where 1 of us would go in n pass it to the other waiting on other side. First 2 made it but just as i was gonna snag it as it came through the fence a security guard reached over my shoulder n grabbed it. I was fk, I got the pass n my buddies are gonna get hang backstage while I gotta go drink alone at the car. Then, outta nowhere came you and Bret n asked what was goin on. Guard said he busted me trying to sneak back n You guys grabbed me by the shoulder and told guard you'll take it from there and took me back. My buddies were pissed because I was the Danny of the story, and they were just the T-Birds!

What I would like to see is maybe more footage of all those buses that you feature in your videos. Which buses do what, how far they travel, the people driving those buses are usually under appreciated, etc.. Or you could try to feature the people behind the scenes who set up the wardrobe cases, the catering, the travel arrangements and so much more behind the scenes that fans have no idea takes place. Keep up the great work!
