March 24 : ACE
FREHLEY to guest on new BRET MICHAELS album From:
AZCentral.com
POISON singer Bret Michaels recently spoke to
AZCentral.com about his forthcoming solo
album, "Get Your Rock On", which is tentatively due this summer.
"[It's a] really amazing record," Bret said. "I put a lot of hard
work into this. And everyone that's on it, I'm not only friends with
but fans of. I've got Ace Frehley from KISS and Michael Anthony from
VAN HALEN. I redid [POISON's] 'Nothin' But a Good Time' and played
everything on it but the lead guitar and bass. Ace Frehley plays the
solo and Michael Anthony plays bass. Then, 'Every Rose Has Its
Thorn' has Joe Perry from AEROSMITH and Hugh McDonald from BON JOVI.
And it's got Loretta Lynn singing it with me. Then, Jimmy Buffett,
me and him did 'Margaritaville' live. . . It's all people I know.
Vinnie Paul from PANTERA. They're all friends of mine. The best one
— are you ready for this? — I remade 'Sweet Home Alabama' with the
guys from LYNYRD SKYNYRD playing and singing on it. Gary Rossington
and Rickey Medlocke are on it. I wanted them to hear what I had
done. I gave it a really cool feel. And they were like, 'This is
awesome.'"
When asked how the sound of his new solo album compares with that of
2010's "Custom Built", Bret said, "For me, honestly, every song has
a life of its own. I kind of do exactly what I want to do with each
song. And so some of them are like 'Get Your Rock On', real just
in-your-face straight-up rock and roll. And then, you've got a
really interesting twist to 'Every Rose Has Its Thorn'. What adds
the sound to your record is when you get different musicians like
that. I mean, having Ace Frehley, there's just no way to describe.
It almost takes you back to 'Shock Me'."
