 Salt Lake City Weekly - Nothin’ But a Good Time
Rockett, the beat behind the debauched platinum blonde, platinum selling, Pennsylvanian glam rockers that birthed the party anthems “I Want Action” and “Nothin’ But a Good Time,” passes up the chance to wax nasty in print.
Rockett seems inordinately grounded, not up to discussing the good ol’ days, save justifying Poison’s existence and reiterating points about the band’s popularity.
But his defense suggests Rockett has been fielding a lot of questions lately about the past, swimming against a strong nostalgic tide challenging Poison’s right to exist beyond their heyday.

Rockett wouldn't have made such a radical change to his recording system in the middle of a project, but the opportunity to pick up the brand new console and upgrade the audio converters was worth the trouble.
There, Rockett routes them through his ample collection of outboard microphone preamplifiers and processors, into the Lucid ADA 8824's analog inputs, and then on to the ADAT Bridge (via optical cable using the ADAT Lightpipe 8-channel format).

In mostly non-rocker mannerism, especially for a veteran of the 1980s, Rikki is a vegan, an animal rights activist and someone who out-and-out cares about what goes on around him and in society.

 BLABBERMOUTH.NET - RIKKI ROCKETT Says POISON As A Creative Force Is Very Handicapped Right Now
If Rikki likes what is in the garage--then start his own label and tell poison to piss off.
That said, Rikki's got a point in that Poison's creativity is pretty handicapped right now and they desperately need to get more confident in playing more recent material.
They need to take risks and by that I don't mean resort to quick-fix solutions like updating their sound to fit in vogue with what's popular but maybe something along the lines of what Rikki himself suggested like concentrate more on recording than on touring at least for the next year or so.
