Bret Michaels Enlists Friends For New Solo Album
Ace Frehley, Michael Anthony and Joe Perry make appearances
Hennemusic reports that in a recent interview Michaels let slip a few details about his forthcoming new solo album, Get Your Rock On.
"I put a lot of hard work into this,” Bret tells AZCentral. "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. "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,” continued Michaels. "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.’”
