New single to blast off

Guaranteed, the next single released from Godsmack will surely rocket up to No. 1. The new album “The Oracle” has been out for bit now and the first single “Crying Like a Bitch” took off and made itself known to the rock world. Now the latest single “Love Hate Sex Pain” is set to do the same. Sully Erna shared with fans that the first single “Crying Like a Bitch” was about Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx, but this time, for “Love Hate Sex Pain” the Godsmack front man is not talking. Why? Well, he seems to have an apprehension of sharing too much with the public because “a little bit too much information has come back to bite me in the ass,” he said. If he was to talk about “Love Hate Sex Pain” his 8-year-old daughter, who can now read very well, may find herself reading what daddy wrote ... and who wants their 8-year-old daughter to read what daddy had to say about love, hate, sex, and pain? “The Oracle” has been out since May and is still riding high on the Billboard Rock Charts at No. 4.

Projected sales

He survived acute appendicitis, a sub arachnoid hemorrhage, an American Idol appearance and bout on Celebrity Apprentice where he walked away with the prize. Now, he's got a new album out that is projected to sell up to 30,000 copies in the first week of sales. The album “Custom Built” hit the stands Tuesday and fans are clamoring to get their hands on the latest from the Poison front man, especially after all the hype from this past Spring. The album features Michaels as himself with guests like Miley Cirus, AKA Sasquatch Face, Jason Miller of Godhead, and Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down. Meanwhile, Michaels is continuing his career as a reality TV star. His latest show “Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It” is due out this fall with the first episode filmed at his May 28th concert in Biloxi, Mississippi.
