DALLAS’ TAKE ON THE POISON / DEF LEPPARD FEUD
Friday, August 15th, 2008 at 12:57pm by Dallas Coyle
I’ve lost track of how many of these blogs I’ve done so far. I used to number them but now I don’t know what number I’m up to. Speaking on the phone with Vince, we both realized I’d been doing this blog for over six months and it blew my mind.
Where does the time go?
I let the cat out of the bag when I mentioned we were covering a MUSE song. I’m not sure if I should have told everyone but I don’t think that information needed to have a chastity belt on it. Just to clarify though, the cover is NOT going on the album. We just recorded the song for some extra diddies and maybe some extra sack action! Women love angelic voices and skinny dudes with pale skin. We’re the exact opposite of that but maybe sack action can be in our future because of that song! I’m sure MUSE will hear our cover and say in an English accent, “Ian, these niggas have ruined a fucking classic…”
Ok, enough heehawing. On to the real news! I was blown away by the Poison vs. Def Leppard debacle. I mean come the fuck on. What the hell is our world coming to? Remember East Coast vs. West Coast rap? Motherfuckers were getting shot. Back then it was who was the hardest most stone cold motherfuckers out there. With Poison and Def Leppard this shit reminds me of one of those Ben Stiller movies like Zoolander or Tropic Thunder. What are they fighting about? Who sucks worse? What over-40 chick wants you more?
For the record, I think Poison is shit. Def Leppard isn’t bad. I’ve never liked 80’s hair metal. Back when I was a young kid living with my mom all I listened to was Young MC, Chubb Rock and Public Enemy. I sneaked in some Kriss Kross here or there. I literally wrote down all the lyrics to Young MCs ‘Principal Office’. Yeah, I was a nerd in my own right. When I first heard rock music, it was the 80’s hair metal. And even before I knew what homosexuality was the first thing that popped into my head was “GAY!” Rikki Rocket and Bret Michaels are angry that Joe Elliott thinks their music lacks substance? This confused me for days. Rikki and Bret, you might as well get mad at the whole world. Your shit is garbage.
This little feud is a sign of how pathetic a time we live in. When Rikki Rocket (does anyone know his real name?) gets puffed up about what Joe Elliott says, I wonder if he’s forgetting that he’s selling out arenas every night when they go on tour. I wonder why it really bothers him. I wonder why he’s getting angry cause, sadly, no one in either camp is going to catch a bullet from the other side. I want to see a Danzig type beat down on YouTube. Imagine this little headline: “The drummer of Def Leppard kicks Rikki Rocket’s ass with one arm!” Now that’s some shit to see!
Bret Michaels bothers me now too. I never had a problem with him until that show Rock Of Love. The first season was pretty cool. He picked a good looking girl and it was pretty dope to envision that girl on my lap every single week. But on the last season his judgment went down the drain. Those last two girls were atrocious! I love VH1 just like anyone else. I want to see bitch fights. Def Leppard and Poison just gave me the best one I’ve seen in a long time! Did any of you laugh as hard as I did when I saw how NOT dangerous that little back and forth was?
Once again, I have to thank Blabbermouth for some spicy, undangerous gossip. Undangerous isn’t even a word but I think Def Leppard and Poison just created it. Stephen Colbert would be proud! For now, I’ve got to get the rock out of here!
Peace!
hi-larious! Dallas you rip as usual. bring on the new GF record.
ps this is the third consecutive that i’ve predicted a new Dallas blog by wearing my GF wristie. worrrrrrrrd up. now let us ALL get the rock out of here.
Dallas- quick question, what metal album are you anticipating most this year?
BOTH bands are shit!! Dallas pulls no punches here! Celebrity Death Match????
Rikki Rockett’s real name: Richard Allan Ream
Def Leppard > Poison
Def Leppard > Poison >>>>> God Forbid
VH1 sucks
Last years Crock of Love was terrible. Mostly all the chix were dogs! WOOF! Seriously, I think the first season was better for several reasons. I think its good to see ROCKERS on some pop TV show instead of the Flavor of love. I hate BS hip-hop crap taking over the airwaves… buncha tredny sheep! Let promote the REAL ROCKSTAR LIFE, not the fake ass trendy clones!
As far as Rivalries, I can t help but refer to the Vext/Dino thing… REAL STUPID! Stand up and be roll models (of sorts). We cant be having this civil war within Rock/Metal. The commercial, trendy pop BS is our true enemy and we should all be focused on taking that down.
Dallas…. Kriss Kross…? seriously?? hahahahahaha…….” I MISSED THE BUS”
The 80’s were the shit! If you build it (glammy catchy rock bands)…they (the ladies) will cumm!
you suck dude.whoever the fukk u are
who the fukk is god forbid.since i have never heard of them.have they sold a million records or sold out arenas.i doubt it.suck a dick and listen to your crisscross dude
I haven’t look at Blabbermouth in a week or so.I think the fact that they were the white on the rice that was this boring feud may attribute to that.Personally I think both bands suck.I’ve tried once or twice to give hair metal a serious chance, but to no avail.
We need another installment of The Hard R podcast!Make it happen D!
New VH1 show-On the down low with Dallas Coyle. Check your local listings.
You think Poison was gay, but you listened to Young MC, and Kris Kross. You truly are fucking gay.
Dallas,
“A chick walks by you wish you could sex her
But you’re standin’ on the wall like you was Poindexter.”
I’d bust out some Chubb Rock too, but it’s been a while.

Honestly, I’m not sure what record I’m looking forward to this year. But the new All Shall Perish is really great. The new Slipknot I think will be pretty cool. Their last one was my favorite so it might be hard to top. The last song Trivium released was real cool and it got me very interested in hearing the rest. There are so many damn records coming out I’ve lost track. I heard the new metallica song and I thought it was OK.
How about you?
C’mon Dallas. You’re not Fa-Fa-Fa-Foolin anyone!, You know you don’t want nothin’ but a good time…how can you resist?
Isn’t Tommy Lee dating one of Brett’s sloppy seconds from the show. Season two was filled with some absolutely terrible looking skanks.
At least i actually thought that Axl Rose and Vince from Motely Crue might actually get fucking down back in the day. But this is more than just comical. Reminds me of two teenage
bitches going at it (ugly teenage bitches). ThankGod for Judas Priest, Metallica and Iron Maiden back in the day for caring the banner of what Metal SHOULD be. On another note. The new trivium is pretty damn good, and the new slipknot should not disappoint.
Thank you Dallas!
Good man Dallas, I’m indifferent to Def Leppard but Poison truly are the shittest band to have ever existed, ever. Bring on the youtube brawl!
I actually like Def Leppard. Also, I don’t really consider them ‘hair’ metal like poison. I had to treat them like shit if I was going to slag poison as much as I did. Now that I hear Dick Reams is a black belt in martial arts I have to watch my back. Imagine ME being the one on Youtube getting his ass kicked! HAHA! Fuck it; all for entertainment.
I’m kinda surprised by how unexcited I am about the new Slipknot.I’m really looking forward to the new stuff from The Haunted.New Amon Amarth should be pretty cool.I might try to give the new Trivium a chance.And I’m interested in seeing how Unearth’s album turns out.I’m excited for Death Magnetic, but if it fails, I think I’m done riding the line and will gladly wave the flag on the Megadeth frontlines.
Good blog, and a question? Did you wear your clothes backwards when you listened to Kriss Kross? I think I remember them being the little kids who dressed baggy and backwards.
Props for Public Enemy and the Young MC, back in the day when rap had credibility and the songs had different subject matter.
i don’t think either band sucks. i think the rap crap you mentioned sucks. if it weren’t for either band i wouldn’t have been a god forbid fan. now get back on tour so you guys can kick my ass with some new music.
what’s wrong with you guys??? no one was looking forward to the new opeth??? fucking OPETH people !!! Dallas, kick ass new song by the way.
I don’t think we should be trashing or bad mouthing any bands, I believe the Def Leppard from On through the night, high and dry, and pyromania is simply amazing, after that it got a little too mainstream, but hey those who didn’t are completely gone now.
On the other hand, poison has always been pure commercial pop-rock, and even though they’re not up in the big leagues of rock and roll, their music is fun to listen to especially when you’re drunk a a bar
anyways, peace and rock on my friends!
rap is shit; its gay
don’t trash Poison/Def Leppard
you suck!
