I regret to inform all of you that Airstream has asked for the Base Camp back. I was told budget cuts, revamping, ect, etc. I have no idea really. We were poised for some great PR.
It was fun having it out on the tour and I do hate to let it go. I could buy it from them at quite a discount, but it lacks the stove, fold down beds and a few other small things.
If anyone is interested it would be considerably cheapeer than a new one. My e-mail is: poisondrummer@mac.com
I'm quite bummed, but at least I got a Base Camp for 6 months that I took all over the country. I just hate that I spent money on the modifications and then had to let it go. But, boo hoo, I'll live. Still have my Bambi!

It sounds awefully flakey, but it is AIRSTREAM.
Can't imagine what they would do with a custom modded one that was made for Rikki, especially since the basecamp isn't doing very well on the market and could use the exposure.
Rikki...when's the new materiel coming out since Poisoned released"

Rikki,
Sorry to hear about your Basecamp. Having a mobile drum shop was a good idea. Too bad that AS didn't go along with it. Have you considered getting an older used Airstream and gutting/modifying it for your business?
Hope you're well away from the fires out there.

Just read the whole thread and it's pretty cool. Too bad it had to end Rikki. My 16 year old son is a drummer{he's pretty damn good} and was wondering are you selling kits? If so where can he check them out. I showed him this thread and he said "cool...who's Poison"? Man I'm getting old.......

Sorry to hear about the Basecamp Rikki. My sister and brother-in-law are big fans of yours. They go to all the concerts close to Cleveland, Ohio.

September 23, 2007 is a long time to take to track down a famous drummer on something as serious as rape with no plans to extradite.

Played in a touring band years ago where the lead guitar player was accused of rape. Some sweet young thaing fell in love with him (he'd never met her nor even saw her at the gig) and followed us to the next town. She literally threw herself at him and wouldn't take "no" for an answer (not even a "h*** NO, leave me alone!"). She was NOT happy.
About 3, maybe 4 weeks later in some other town down the road, the police came in to a club we were playing at and arrested him! He got it all cleared up, took the rest of the week for her to admit nothing ever happened, not even a handshake. Fortunately also, there had been alot of people around us that night in question. Sure made us all think twice down the line...
Other times, casual encounters are mutual but sometimes, the hook is hoping you'll settle out of court to avoid bad publicity... hope in this case, it was one of those.

Sorry but I think there are other formats for this discussion, Like some of the less read rags. Give the man his privacy to deal with these claims.

I agree. It just doesn't seem logical timing to me.

Rikki Rockett Cleared of Rape
I just read that our fellow Airstreamer, Rikki Rockett was cleared of rape charges. Appearently a look-alike did the dirty deed. Rikki wasn't even in the state at the time. He was with his fiance picking out a wedding dress. Good news for him and Poison as they start their 2008 tour.
Good Luck with the tour and your wedding!
