Rikki Rockett Says Poison Still Don’t Have Concrete Plans To Tour In 2027
During a recent appearance on the Cobras & Fire podcast, Poison drummer Rikki Rockett addressed the possibility of a 2027 tour once again. However, according to him, there is still no concrete plans.
Rockett said the following about wanting to maintain momentum following the group’s 2022 stadium tour with Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard:
“Yeah, I was ready to go out the next year, honestly. Bret [Michaels] was pursuing Bret Michaels Band. I mean, it’s that simple. There really is no other… I could lie, but that’s the beginning and the end of it. He wanted to go out there with his solo band and do stuff. And he wanted to give it a shot with all that, and use that momentum to do that. And so he did. And hopefully that’ll change in the new year, and we’ll get back out there.”
When asked about concrete plans for 2027, he responded by saying “Not yet.”
He also added the following when asked about the possibility of hiring a new singer:
“We’ve talked about that when we’ve gotten upset, just like I’m sure Bret’s talked about replacing me when he’s gotten upset. But there hasn’t been any serious discussion about that.”

It’s about maintaining that rebellious spirit in a way that’s classy, functional, and built for modern life.”

Testament Planning To Release Remixed Version Of “Souls Of Black” In 2027
Testament are working on a remixed version of their 1990 album “Souls Of Black.” The updated effort will be released sometime in 2027.
Chuck Billy told Metal Express Radio the following:
“Me and [guitarist] Eric [Peterson] took back all the Atlantic records, the six records we did with [the] Atlantic [major record label]. Now we took them back. Next year we get ‘The Ritual’ [1992] back, and a few years later we’ll get ‘Low’ [1994] back. But right now we have ‘The Legacy’ [1987], ‘The New Order’ [1988], ‘Practice What You Preach’ [1989] and now ‘Souls Of Black’. And we remastered all the others — ‘The Legacy’, ‘The New Order’ and ‘Practice’ — because we couldn’t find the two-inch master reels, so we just did a remastering. But ‘Souls Of Black’, we had all the tracks, so we went in there and remixed it, and it sounds great. I can’t wait for people to hear it. It sounds so good. Really modern sound and raw. It sounds good.”
He also discussed the sound of the original version and how it felt underwhelming:
“Well, we put our faith in the producers, engineers, people mixing it. We were young, and we put a record out every year and toured. We didn’t know the studio or none of that stuff. We were just writing songs and recording, so we left it up to the people in charge. In the end, we wanted it to sound better, but we didn’t know how to make it sound better. It took us 35, 40 years later for us to get in a studio and put up the tracks again and go, ‘Oh, God, that sounds bad. Let’s fix that.’ So now that’s what we’ve done, and it just sounds… I hear the songs way different now, because you can really hear the guitars are so heavy and the vocals aren’t all wet and reverbed out. We pulled a lot of stuff back and made it really raw and hit you a lot harder. So, yeah, it’s way better.”
He continued when asked if he was ever tempted to re-record his vocals:
“I thought I would. But I was very happy with all the vocals. It was actually a very strong performance on all the tracks. There was no… Nothing, when we listened to it, said, ‘Oh, oh, I wanna change that,’ or, ‘Oh, I don’t like that.’ All of it was… I had a good performance on that record, so that helped. I didn’t have to fix anything.”
He also added the following about release plans:
“That’ll be next year sometime. Right now we’re still pushing the original version with Nuclear Blast. And then next year, once that’s done and we got a really cool packaging put together, that’ll come out next year.”
