I feel bad for the dude he raped.

There goes my theory that Poison is so washed up they couldn't get arrested for shaking their bare dicks at a playground full of rich kids.....

He was a hairdresser.

/chuckle

Have you seen how much skank tail Bret Michaels is getting on Rock of Love?

Well, I guess Every Rose Has Its Thorns, and we can Look At What the Cat Dragged In after he is caught.

But in the end we all need Something to Believe In. Even if it is a Fallen Angel.

/went to same HS as Rikki so I'm getting etc etc etc...

Say what you will about their music, but some of the chicks in Poison were hot!

She's only seventeen?

Damn it Winger.

Does this put a washed-up hair band musician crime spree trifecta in play?

The Drummer from 80's rock band Poison, Rikki Rockett was arrested while making his way through customs on Monday in Los Angeles. Rikki had flown from New Zealand to LAX following a reunion with old band members at a heavy metal show. The warrant for his arrest stems from an incident in Mississippi.

Rocket who's real name is Richard Ream started out as a hairdresser and in a career switch became a rock star. Rikki was booked on a felony fugitive sexual assault warrant.

That is all the information out at this time. It is not clear if Rockett is still being held in jail. Bitten and Bound will keep you posted and we'll also post his mug shot when that hits.

Read another story where the charge was listed as "strong arm rape". Dude has little girly arms. I'm having a hard time believing he could strong arm his little Rikki Rocket, let alone another human.

/not believing it's a chick he allegedly raped either

Rocket who's real name is Richard Ream

Dick Ream? Come on.

if you haven't read fargo rock city by klosterman, it is hilarious whether you like hair-metal or not.

Outta the car long hair its the police!


/I know its from a cover Poison did, but it seems to fitting

I took my best friend to see Poison at McNichols Arena in Denver for her b'day in '88(I think). The seats were crappy, but we had a good time.

/I know its from a cover Poison did, but it seems to fitting

Poison covered Loggins & Messina? That seems inappropriate and unnecessary.

/to me, anyway.

He used to have a blog in which he'd write about his current-day touring. One particular entry recounted how a woman he was staying with gave him some "cleansing pills" which led to him having a sprint-to-the-bathroom-shove-everybody-out-of-the-way-on-the-way diarrhea explosion in a rock club.

That, along with pics of him hanging out with aging skanks made for a pretty amusing site.

At first I was gonna mention how terrible his makeup makes him look but as it turns out, he's doing us a favor by continuing to wear it:

They even made a video, Link (new window)

at least he didn't rick roll it.

I will admit....


I used to love Poison.

The first "band" I was in was named Caution - and the N was written in the same style as Poison's.

I saw Poison in concert with Warrant, and I have look what the cat dragged in and open up and say ahh on my ipod - I also had the original open up and say ahh "satanic" cover

/Bret was my idol
//so, so ashamed

Bret was my idol

Now Bret holds TV competitions to see which skanky whore he will be screwing for a few months before kicking her to the curb...

/oh the irony!

Poison has to be the worst, talentless live band in the world.

I saw them back in 1990 when Warrant opened (2nd worst live band, BTW). Horrible.

Then...my wife - the fan of all the 80s hair band music - has me go to Poison/Ratt last summer. That was the worst concert ever. Sadly, I actually like some of Poison's songs, but they're just not good live. At all.

Wonder if Dick Ream's middle initial is S? You know...because some great juvenile humor could come of this.

Maybe he can share a cell with Richie Sambora.

how did you know he was in gay porn?

The real lyrics to I Want Action:

I cant wait to get my hands on them
I wont give up until they give in

Now Im not lookin for a love that lasts
I need a shot and I need it fast
If I cant have her, Ill take her and make her

/egad

It's been 20 years ago, and surely a few arrests between, I got to actually watch him get arrested in Nashville after a concert. Seems he punched a security guard. You can see some of the footage on the "Your Momma Don't Dance" video which was shot that night at the concert. When we saw it happening we actually thought it was staged for the video.

I just watched the video and you see him on stage after the cop incident, but they actually played the song and taped it 3-4 times and spliced it together. Somewhere off to side of the stage among the mulletheads is me (also a mullethead at the time).

I'm a websense administrator so I really got a kick out of that reply.

Poison has to be the worst, talentless live band in the world.

I played "Talk Dirty to Me" 10 minutes after picking up a guitar for the first time ever and I ain't no Jimi Hendrix. That should say something about the genius of their repertoire.

BOBBY!

RICKY!

CECE!!

Submitter: Rikki Rocket from Poison arrested on a felony fugitive sexual assault warrant

Charles Rocket thinks Rikki should just cut his losses.

Ha!

The singer for my band kicked Rikki Rocket's ass at a kegger in Thousand Oaks, Calif., in like 1986 or something, just before Poison hit it big. It was awesome. He came to the wrong party to hand out flyers.

This was back when the cool long hairs vs. lame long hairs rivalry was heating up. Mixed crowds were dangerous. Slayer fans of the era, would not suffer the presence of glams.

My own band split up because of that crap. The drummer went to the lame side.

The rest of us kept our jeans on and left the douchebags to themselves to prance around in makeup and Aquanet.

And get their asses kicked at backyard keggers.

That article is useless. Just a teaser. No mugshot. No details. It's the blog equivalent of "film at 11".

/Saw Poison live last year.
//They still RULED!

Here's the link to a few more details...
http://www.tmz.com/2008/03/28/woman-claims-rockett-raped-her-at-miss-casino/

Apparently, he's accused of raping a girl in his Casino hotel room in Mississipi in September.

#1 thing heard during a Neil Peart drum solo:

"Who does this idiot think he is, Rikki Rocket?"

Rikki Rocket goes where?

His real name is Richard Ream? Why would he change that to Ricky Rocket? Seems to me that he had the name his was looking for by law. Dick Ream.

A friend of mine is really good friends with Rikki.

She said the whole accusation is bullshiat.

ANYONE who knows ANYTHING about Rikki Rockett personally knows this is bullshiat.
