Rikki Rockett Performs Poison's Debut Album in Full with The Rockett Mafia

Founding Poison drummer Rikki Rockett took the stage at the Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood to perform the entire "Look What The Cat Dragged In" album with his outfit, The Rockett Mafia. The performance served as a milestone tribute to the record's 40th anniversary, featuring staple tracks including "Talk Dirty To Me", "I Want Action", "Cry Tough", and the title track.

This marks the first time the album has been played in its entirety. The Rockett Mafia lineup for the California show featured Rockett on drums, Brandon Gibbs of Devil City Angels on vocals and guitar, Stacey Blades of L.A. Guns on guitar and backing vocals, and Michael Adams of Puddle of Mudd on bass. The tour, dubbed "Look What The Mob Dragged In", began in May in McHenry, Illinois.

Playing Poison's first album with The Rockett Mafia is a full-circle moment for me.

Rockett described the project as a "full-circle moment", noting that the performances provide a way for fans to relive the raw energy of the original record. While the band frequently plays a mix of heavy 1970s and 1980s classic rock, this specific run focused on the Poison catalog. The anniversary project follows a period of internal friction, where the band's previous tour plans were scrapped following reported disputes regarding financial splits between members.
