Summary
There are moments in life that feel too strange to be real — the kind you replay just to make sure they actually happened. This is one of those stories . On Saturday, June 17, 2000 , during Poison’s Power to the People tour at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ , I went from the crowd… to on stage with Poison . One minute I’m watching a rock concert. The next, I’ve got Bret Michaels’ microphone in my hand, singing KISS’ “Rock and Roll All Nite” in front of thousands of people . It wasn’t planned . It wasn’t staged . It wasn’t something I ever thought I’d experience at a Poison concert . Since this was before everyone had a camera in their pocket—I have no footage , no photos , and no proof in the modern sense of proof . Just an unused Rikki Rockett drumstick … and one witness who was there with me. In this episode, I’m telling the full story of what it was like to end up on stage with Poison , how it happened , and why moments like this don’t quite fit inside normal memory — especially when it comes to live rock concert stories . If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like when the line between fan and performer disappears at a rock show… this one’s for you . 🎙️ LEARN MORE 🎵 Hear the Playlists / Browse the Catalog: https://myweeklymixtape.com 💬 Join the Mixtaper Community (Patreon): https://patreon.com/myweeklymixtape 🌐 Connect on Social: https://myweeklymixtape.com/social-media 📧 Email the Show / Contact: https://myweeklymixtape.com/contact 👕 Shop MWM Gear: https://myweeklymixtape-shop.fourthwall.com/
