Poison is set to hit the road this summer, but prior to that they’re getting the band back together to sue their record label.

According to a lawsuit filed today in L.A. Superior Court, the band claims Capitol Records conned them, underpaying them royalties for years.

They also claim they were shortchanged by EMI Music Marketing over a deal they made in 2005 for their greatest hits album, which featured a new track entitled “We’re An American Band.”

Remember Rikki Rocket? Yeah, me neither. He was the drummer for Poison. Now, he runs around doing duet performances with his fiancee Melanie Martel. Her, I know. She was a hot singer in Nashville back at the Fiddle and Steel.

Anywho, seems Rikki has been arrested on rape charges, stemming from an incident that occurred in September. It happened in Neshoba County, Mississippi. Seems he was arrested at LAX airport as he returned from New Zealand but was released as of now.

No word on the next step for police.
