During a recent discussion with Sammy Hagar for an AXS TV special, Bret Michaels shared his opinions about the greatest bands of all time. The Poison frontman revealed some of his favorite rock bands from the past, including Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Thin Lizzy. Hagar then asked Michaels which group he thinks is the greatest of all time. “If I had to answer the greatest, straight up, in-your-face rock ‘n’ roll band… it’s AC/DC,” Michaels responded. Hagar agreed with him, proclaiming that even Jimi Hendrix wouldn’t want to perform after the Australian rock legends. Hagar went on to ask Michaels who his biggest hero is, and the singer chose someone totally outside of the music world – his father. “My dad, being a Navy vet, loves this country, he’s been through a lot of adversity in his life and comes fighting. That adversity and the way he handled it trickled down on me,” Michaels said. (Loudwire)
