From the memorabilia box.... Mementos from Poison's 2002 Hollyweird Tour with Faster Pussycat, Winger, and Cinderella opening. I was especially excited about seeing Faster Pussycat as I had missed out on shows at the height of the era, for any number of reasons. At that time the Poison tour was announced, I had no idea Brent had returned for a while...thought he was *adorable* back then, so that was an added bonus for me especially for this being my first time seeing them...finally!

Post-set, my friend and I went out the concessions area...when we came out of the ladies room, there was Brent in the middle of everything ~ still in his stage wear, still *adorable*, meandering amongst the people, handing out the postcards shown (the reserve side in Slide 2 is actually a sticker). My friend noticed him first, but she was not well-read on the band at all...this show was basically her first exposure to them. She just nudged me and said, "Isn't that one of the Faster Pussycat guys?" I thought she was being sarcastic but sure enough...I was gooped and gagged! He was very kind and quiet...when I asked for his autograph, he initially was going to sign the postcard but I thought it was too cool to be obliterated, so I asked him to sign the address panel from my Ticketmaster order instead. No photo evidence of the meeting, however, as this way proceeded cell phones and I otherwise did not have a traditional camera on me...but, at least I got something. 🤘❤️

Thrilled to find this in the wild!

This is a fun one. Which artist that goes by one name....has the coolest and most recognizable name in rock history? A name that instantly relates to just one person. You don't hear this name and think of three different rockers. Lemmy? Axl? Slash? Eddy? Madonna? Prince? Elvis? There are a bunch of good ones.
For you - what is the most iconic single name in rock music history???
(On a side note, check out our rock trivia books on Amazon, link is in my bio)

We have been moving and we have gone through every single thing we own lol. I got these around ‘88-‘89 when I was 13/14 years old.
I also have a storage bin with all my concert ticket stubs, pictures, drum sticks, guitar picks, Metal Edge magazines, autographs, and VHS tapes that I made from recording stuff off of Mtv and Headbangers Ball. I also found a lot of cool souvenirs from the 1st annual Rocklahoma I went to in 2007. It’s been so much fun going through this stuff! Damn. I miss the days of camping out overnight at the music store to get good seats at 10am when the tickets went on sale.
