Yesterday, we posted the casting call for VH1′s latest bimbos-on-parade show, which advertised the chance to get down and dirty with “one of the ’90s HOTTEST ROCKERS.” But we’ve received multiple tips that the frontman in question is actually Bret Michaels of Poison–a band that is not only forever entwined with the ’80s, but whose ’90s studio output is equivalent to that of Guns N’ Roses. Congratulations, VH1–if this is true, you’re even more shameless than we thought you were. We can’t wait until it’s revealed that the show is actually called I Want Action.

What I wouldn’t give to see what’s going on under that bandana. Dude has not been seen without it for 20 years. I suspect it’s one of those things where he actually has fake hair attached to it, and he’s totally Dancing-With-The-Stars-Era-Joey-Lawrence under there.
See I was gonna say Bret Michaels! But then I was like “Wait, 90′s rocker?”
This is going to be some sleazy shit, most of the girls are probably going to be wannabe porn stars. Flava of Love for the rock set.
Will there be a cherry pie baking challenge?
do you think that they have to say 90s rocker, or else they’d just get skeezy 80s broad lot lizards? like… it wouldn’t be “young and sexy” enough?
“Will there be a cherry pie baking challenge?”
Dude, that’s Warrant. Get your facts str- er, I mean… uh…
Hey, I hear Sleater-Kinney’s getting back together!
Flesh & Blood was their biggest album (4-5 singles) and it cam out in 1990 so I guess that counts. What i’m trying to figure out now is how is Bret Michaels a bad boy?
Because he has diabetes….and he can still rock! Nothing sexier than a man with a microphone and an insulin deficiency.
I was really pulling for Perry Farrell, but I’ll still tune in to hear Brett ask the ladies to “talk dirty to me.”
This just about sums it up:

Thanks for the “Unskinny Bop” MP3, I’ll even forgive the 128kbps rip. That song is actually not terrible for hair-metal.
I have a buddy who is quite an accomplished guitarist and he says the opening riff of that song is fun to play. Indeed, it’s the only hair-metal riff he knows.
Every rose has its thorn and every bachelorette has her pole.
Poison–not quite as interesting as Ratt, not quite as boring as Cinderella.
I can’t believe he is still touring, until I looked up his tour schedule and saw it includes stops in such bustling metropolises as Killinton, VT, Moorhead, MN, and my personal fave, Libertyville, IL. I wonder if he is now sleeping with groupies just to cut down on hotel costs?
Maybe they meant rock stars in their nineties?
Tip top song! How come I’ve not heard of these Poison chaps before?
Off to youtube it is then….
….oh, oh dear dear me
I still love you Bret!! I guess these people prefer music today that has NO MEANING and you can’t understand a thing they’re singing about. And I’ll bet my hard earned money that any one of these “haters” don’t look a bit now like they did in the 80′s!! I’ve seen pic’s of you lately and you still have it. LOOKS AND TALENT! I would love to see you in concert this year no matter where you’re playing. The fact that these people won’t be there means there’s more room up close for ME!!
Yes indeed……Just another Flava type show. These girls are bound also to have a fighter, a spitter, etc. No class it seems to any of them. I wonder how proud their parents are of them?
I think they should have named this show the skanky spanky rock of hos!
