This is the article in case the link doesn't work.
This is the third attack of the day! We went from Bananas being attacked to Bandanas being attacked.
This email was sent to me this evening by Tuff's Stevie Rachelle. We haven't gotten a rant this good since Joey Allen sent us stuff bitching about....well Bret Michaels! Maybe Joey & Stevie can compare notes. Enjoy!
Dear Sludge,
It's been a while and I've been working on my new catalog but felt the need to address this. Please use this in whatever way you want!
P.S. Since I'm behind your website could you please forward me a statement, and payments to date at once!
Thank you for your time, Stevie Rachelle

"How do you react to the rumours that Rikki (Rocket, Poison drummer) runs metal-sludge.com?
Bret: He must do it in a top-secret way, because he's so busy. I don't know when he would have time to run it. He's my best friend, and I've never heard him speak of it. We're on the road so much, I don't see how it could be updated frequently. It's the guys from Tuff [that are behind metal-sludge.com]. Tuff doesn't even still exist, yet they're always being talked about on the site.
I've never actually been to the site, but I think Rikki did a tour diary for them one summer and that's how the rumours got started. God bless Tuff if running Metal Sludge makes 'em happy, but I'd rather be on the road and writing new tunes."

Stevie Rachelle "That guy from Poison - is wearing a wig"
Funny how these things unfold huh? Well, I feel I have been called out, so let me reply!
And since I have a big mouth and can't keep things short and simple I'll go on forever like
the recession of Brets 'true' hairline!
I was a huge Vince Neil fan, David Lee Roth fan and when Poison came out, I became a big Bret Michaels fan and why not, they followed in the footsteps of my other musical heroes. I saw Poison open for Quiet Riot in the fall of 1986 while "Cry Tough" was on Headbangers Ball and hung out with Rikki Rockett in his motel room with then girlfriend (Danielle) until 3:AM. He was cool as hell to me, & I believe wanted to fuck my then girlfriend - who he traded pants with. For the record, I approached Danielle as she handed out flyers for them out in the Auditorium (wearing an orange jump suit) looking hot as hell and I was thinking the same thing about her as well. Rikki probably doesn't even recall that night but maybe some of that will jog his memory. Many kudos, respect and the like to Rikki. This is not about him or the band but rather Mr. "Let me hold my hands underneath my biceps in every photo to give the illusion that my arms are much bigger than they actually are."
You see the real problem in most all of these musical feuds you read about is pussy! End of story. Bret has sold millions, made millions, spent millions and had success beyond most musicians wildest dreams. Hell, he even dumped Pam Anderson! I still give him and the band HUGE props. They have accepted the role of what they truly stood and still stand for. And for that, they have been and are still being rewarded in a handsome way. But at the end of the day, this 'nice guy' is a greedy, manipulating prick with a severe case of short mans complex. He wants it all. Not some, not part, but ALL of the pie! I have (with other musicians) crossed paths with women from A-Z in the alphabet of rock bands. Remember Axl, Bret & Nikki Sixx all played the Roxy and lived in shitty apartments too. Then they hit it big! The same hot strippers, playmates, and girl next door types want to fuck the local stars, the big stars & even the local bagel boy (Cher). What does all this mean you ask? It means Bret hates me because I have put my big weiner where he once put his, still puts his, and you get the picture! This has happened with more than a few girls over the last 15 years and it still haunts him. Why? I have no fucking idea! The guy is playing Universal Amphitheater tomorow night and their gate will be upwards of $ 100,000.00 yet he finds reason to take a swing at me. And it's not the first time.
Girls are girls, and boys will be boys. While Bret is out on tour and fucking hotties from Los Angeles to Florida and back, remember that girls need love to. So, while us 'other' not so fortunate bands are back home in good old Southern California, where all these sexy up n' comers are making their careers go, they meet Mr. 'not on tour' at the tanning salon, shopping at rocker Ralphs or maybe a by-chance meeting at the Rainbow! What does this all mean you ask? It means that bands can get laid super easy on the road, and almost as easy right fucking here! While the boys are out having 'fun' on the road, the girls know how to have 'fun' too. I'm not bragging, but I have had some 'fun' throughout the years. In addition to the fun, I've heard the secrets (and I'm sure some have heard mine) as to who likes to wear girls undies and shove their ass up in the air and ask "Am I a bad girl?" or which balding shit talking lead singer has his Ex. tour manager organize three-somes in the valley between his full-time mistress (my Ex.) and a famous porn starlet! Gee fuckface, who am I talking about I wonder?
Mr. "let me pucker my lips up to try to make them look bigger and fuller than they actually are" said "Tuff doesn't even still exist, yet they're always being talked about on the site." Well Baldy, I (we-Tuff) do exist and I have released upwards of 20 titles on my own label in the last 10 years! I'm sure your not impressed or concerned with my little acomplishments but my football parody CDs selling 50,000 units strong are easily comparable to anything your band has released in recent years! Throw in my 2 solo CDs, 5 Tuff titles, and a fairly popular song called "American HairBand" which has had mucho spins, great recognition & more exposure than anything Poison has released in a decade! As for Tuff always being talked about on Metal Sludge, I think I used up my 15 minutes of fame here a few years ago! Shame on them for blowing me off for Butch Walker & the Murderdolls! I'd say if your going by who gets the most 'ball licking' I'd say those Wild Boyz guys are dead-on ringers for the 'real' Sludge masterminds!
Hey Bret, let's face these facts together. We're both singers. We're both balding. You worse than me! I don't wear a wig! You have and do! You sold 15 million records! I sold a few hundred thousand tops! You have a big old bank account! I don't! My dick is BIGGER than yours! My arms are BIGGER than yours! Your forehead is BIGGER than mine! We both had sex with a few of the same Playmates & Porn Stars! I can't dance! You can't either! CC wrote most of your music! I wrote my name in cum on 'you know who's' stomach more times than I can count!
See ya backstage at Universal!
This below is an example of the sillyness that has followed us both throughout the years! Who's to blame? A Stevie Rachelle photo in the U.K. magazine Kerrang (July 23rd 2001) in a Bret Michaels & Pamela Anderson porn video article. Ooops to Kerrang, they meant to put a picture of Bret but put me instead. To see this article please click here. http://www.tuffcds.com/kerrang.htm
Does anybody else think it's time for the first Metal Sludge Charity Boxing match? Who needs Don King when you have Metal Sludge? We say lets put Stevie and Bret in the ring! Bastard Boy Floyd will be the ref and we can get Ette to be the ring card girl. The undercard could be C.C. Banana vs. Ralph Sutton in a Banana On A Pole match, Bobby Blotzer vs. Stephen Pearcy in an "seniors" match, and Matt from the Wild Boyz vs. K. Lee from the Wild Boyz, with the winner getting all rights to the Wild Boyz name! If that's not ready for Pay-Per View, we don't know what is.
