Every time Bret Michaels thinks of Reno, he remembers what he calls the
"Jimmy Page Debacle." It took place at the Lawlor Events Center on the
campus of the University of Nevada, and Michaels and his band Poison were in
a particularly celebratory mood.

It was lead guitarist C.C. DeVille's birthday.

"Jimmy Page came onstage with me," says Michaels, "and I had always been a
Zeppelin freak. The place went insane. I was unbelievably excited, getting
to play rock 'n' roll with Page. And on top of that, he was going to play my
brand-new Les Paul (Gibson guitar). It was the greatest day of my life."

But Page, the legendary lead guitarist of Led Zeppelin, had not been warned
of the pyro pit. Poison concerts included huge pyro shows and "there were
these huge holes on stage to hold the fireworks. Page began moving toward
one and it was like one of those scenes in a movie with the character going
slow motion to try to stop a disaster. 'Nooooooo,' I was yelling, but he
went down, luckily not landing on the fireworks, luckily not injuring
himself, even though he fell 6 to 8 feet. My Les Paul snapped in half, but
he got back up and continued to play with us.

"Still, even with that memory, I love to play Reno."

And he will, Saturday at the Silver Legacy. This is part of his solo tour,
which he'll be performing until September, riding on the success of his VH1
series "Rock of Love" and the release of his new album "Rock My World."
"Rock of Love" is the highest-rated series on VH1 and its next installment
"Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels," premiering Jan. 4, takes the show on
the road.

"Footage from the Reno gig will likely be shown at the start of one of the
episodes. I want people to know, though, that I do all the Poison hits, plus
cool renditions of some cover songs, plus all the new songs that hit the Top
20 on VH1."
