you forgot basement of love with frank the entertainer. i fucking hated that show 😂
Don’t forget charm school 💀💀
scarlit he had a show? 🤣☠️
Black football guy had a love show can't remember his name
Shows were less annoying than the shows today .
True story ... I took my kid to the doctor in a little town outside of Columbus Ohio and the receptionist was none other than Heather! Her hair was up and I could see the Bret tattoo in all its glory. I smiled at her and said I know who you are. She smiled back at me. One thing I can say is Heather is even prettier in person and she was super nice.
Last I heard is she does/did live in Ohio somewhere and she's a real estate agent. Glad Heather is out there thriving!!
calpolyca I think she is from around here or at least attended Ohio State. I failed to mention it had been a few years since I ran into her and my doctor has retired so this office doesn’t even exist anymore.
That’s so funny! I would be taken off guard for sure. Walk into a doctors office and all of a sudden you see Heather 🤣
I always liked her. She seems like a very headstrong person with good intentions for her life. I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little jealous.
I would love to hang out with her. She was a cool chick.
Heather went back to Vegas after Rock of Love & stripped
This interviewer is awesome. She and Bret had an actual conversation that seemed meaningful to both of them. Great interview. ❤
Old VH1 is still an iconic era in television that should never be forgotten.
Thanks for listening to my music i really appreciate you
So true, nothing like it
Brett Michaels looks like if Joe Exotic had a brother who turned out a little normal.
Wow, I can see it
Irene H. 👍
Thanks 😨 i came here with good vibes and now i just have this mental image that should not be. Omg.
I died with this comment
😂
For those who suffer from TBI know how strong Brett is, a brain injury takes life away and changes everything. Hes still doing his best I dont know how but hes just that awesome
You know the fact that he drank so much and him a diabetic didn't help at all. And all the drugs that he used to do.
I have the Rock of Love box set, it came with a bandanna
Jasonmac 1990: Best comment. Thank you for the laugh.
Lmao what
@Heather Mooney Completely serious, all 3 seasons uncensored. The interior of the box is lined with a cheap fabric zebra print and the bandanna is black and says ROCK OF LOVE. Its by far the trashiest thing I own and I don't regret it. 🤣🤣
Heather Mooney I have it, it really did come with a bandana, was hilarious!
Get out? I'm laughing so hard
Rock of love was just one big televised STD...but I still loved it 😂
We all were blood tested before EVERY show. There were no STDs darling, that is called a liability and a lawsuit waiting to happen.
@@TalkofLove Thats Awesome!!! Everyone could be free & not worry! In real life I've always required recent papers. So having that on everyone there is not only smart, but really cool!
Brett was a stud back in the day. Amazing body
@@TalkofLove Stacey?
Talk of Love you took what they said literally 😸
0:46 highly disagree; it was Flavor Flav, with Flavor of Love, that became the posterboy for VH1 in the mid 00s. Heck without Flavor of Love there wouldn't have been a Rock of Love. I loved and watched both shows BTW
selmalover was coming to comment the same. Flavor of love wasn’t a spin off of the rock of love format. Flavor of love was because of Flav & Bridget being on the surreal life, and her picking the other dude on the reality show they had - strange love, so then they made it seem like they were trying to find love for him because he was heart broken. I watched all this stuff back in the day though, lol
selmalover preach!!! But I loved both shows as well...
True
I already said it twice in this comment section and now whatever number we're on now, I'll say it again. Peak television.
As a Veteran, it makes my heart happy to know that he cares so much about all my brothers and sisters.
There is an earnestness about this guy I've always appreciated.
I agree!
Rock of love was legendary. 🖤
yes I used to watch that show all the time!
Dont you threatened me with a good time!
Bret can threaten me with a good time....Oh...uh...Bret....I am not a drinker. But give me my coffee, my cigs, my rock music, and smoke a joint with me....I'm a Happy OLD lady.....lol
Thanks for listening to my music i really appreciate you
My husband even watched Rock Of Love with me - he would never admit it to anyone, but it was too fun to not watch! Love Bret!!!
I loved that show.. That show made VH1... It was Legendary
@@20maxilo Agreed!!!!
My Nd said he hated these shows then when I watched it he’d be telling me to tell him the gossip or be quiet cuz it was on haha
My ex fiance watched it all the time with me
Same! 🤣🤣🤣
People talk so much shit about Bret but he's always been class, you never hear any bad drama about him
sergio bomr that’s a fact!
sergio bomr he’s the best!
Maybe not drama but the way he only talks about the women’s looks, which is hella trashy
That’s true!
Yeah I just said the same thing. He's always been like that.
Brets such a chill guy and made great TV with all his one liners. Reality TV will never be the same that was the golden era! Thank you Flav! Flav Bret and NY are legends!
I watched Rock of Love all three seasons when I was a teen I recently rewatched all the episodes it’s such a guilty pleasure!
Why it gotta be guilty tho!😁
My best friend and I lived together when it was on. We were about 20 and on our days off we'd watch it allll day.
Lol..that and Jerry Springer😏🤣
We almost lost Brett a few years ago to a brain aneurysm. Thankfully he survived❤🤟
A Subarachnoid Brain Hemorrhage,the same thing that killed my 44 yr old husband of 22 yrs and father of our four young kids in 2000.Most people don’t survive it so Brett is really blessed to have survived.
Hello dear how are you doing
@@kewsapp8480 I am so sorry for your loss. You are so beautiful! May I ask what causes this exactly?
@@YelenaBlanka The Drs said they don’t know what caused it…it’s a terrible thing though.And I thank you so much for your nice compliment.
@@kewsapp8480 that’s just horrible and once again, my condolences. He is your angel forever! You seem to be a beautiful person on the outside AND inside! God bless you! 💕💕💕
Love Bret. An all around great guy and awesome performer. I’ve been a fan since 6 years old. All these year later, he still gives a hell of a show. It never gets old seeing him live.
He still says “ THAT TURNS ME ON” 😂😂😂
Lit
What growth. 😆 kidding.
HIYOOOOOO!
@Bret Michaels If your Bret Michael's I must be Charlize Theron
@Bret Michaels lmfaoooooo😂
Flavor of Love was first wasn't it? Why are they acting like his show was original?
Consider the source. ☕
Rose Cox exactly
Flavor of Love was EPIC! I laughed soooo much.
ROCK OF LOVE ,ROCK OF LOVE 2,ROCK OF LOVE BUS
Yup and I’m watching it right now 😂
Brett might be a rockstar but he seems to be a caring person, really down to earth. Gotta respect that!
Hello Jon
How are you doing?
It nice to meet you here
''Every Rose Has It's Thorn'' is a classic ROCK song, Even if you hate Poison, that song is monumental.
Hershey he stole the tune of that song from my uncle.
Sonny S bullshit. What song?
But it was soooo overused on the show it became a pain in the ass
“Every thorn has its rose” -ROLS2
Something to Believe in
The casting for the show was brilliant....I loved all the girls and Bret keeps it classy by speaking so highly of them...I STILL watch reruns on CZcams.
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support.
I miss the days of all these shows..even starting with the surreal life..I watched every VH1 reality show..they were so crazy and over the top..and that's what made them GREAT!!
Great personality. I was 12 years old watching this every Saturday night. Just good reality TV.
Thank god for amazon prime! Just watched all 3 seasons back to back!! 😂
Hello dear how are you doing
Brett Michaels honestly seems like a total gem. Wasn't expecting that.
Many of the women on Lacey’s podcast who appeared on the show said he’s a total sweetheart and great person but that they wouldn’t date him.
Im watching re-runs right now. Hands down, my favorite show. I love you Bret 💋
Bret Michaels is seriously one of the most humble rocker dudes in the industry.
Frigging sweeatheart right!?
She said it was a feminist show....lmao...NO.
Haha a dude made a video about how not a feminist show it was. Imagine thinking it's a good time to change into a crotchless jumper in a dirty Porta potty and dig thru a dumpster full of trash for a guitar pick to impress a dude who wants to use up your good eyeliner...*sigh*
@Bret Michaels hey baby
@Bret Michaels got any advice , to get on tv ?
Rock of Love, Tool Academy, I Love The 80’s, I Love The 90’s. Used to LOVE Sundays on VH1 back in the early 2000’s!!
That was one of the Best reality tv shows ever!!!! Wish they would come out with a new one!!!
Check out our podcast ;)
I agree. Rock of love 4 please, with some camo appearances by some of the girls. Lacey, Heather, Ambre, Jes, and Sam!!!!
@@TalkofLove I subscribed to it but come on Lacey please do another reality show! I'm re-watching the season and you and Heather are a F'n trip! You guys made that show! Power to the vegetarians!🐈⬛🐶🥦🥕
Good interview, Bret stays classy and the interviewer clearly respects Bret and the show.
All these years and Bret hasn’t got a better wig..
I believe he said at one point that they are "the best extentions that money can buy". Doesn't wear an actual wig.
Lori Sanchez I’m calling bullshit love Bret but I’m calling bullshit his hair looks like Barbie hair
Lori Sanchez That’s a cheap wig, not extensions.
Wig or no wig, I think it looks like over-processed brown hair, it's time to Let It Go Brett. The headband makes the hairline look questionable. The majority of us put our hair band gear away and we survived. LOL
@@dixierae6063 LOL!!
I'd watch a new Rock of Love, with Bret or CC. Hell yes! Bret always comes across as sweet, thoughtful, and down-to-earth. A truly lovely man.
Because of that show, my sister and I always say, "Don't threaten me with a good time." LOL
He’s so well spoken. I could listen to his intellect all day.
NEW YORK WAS THE POSTER CHILD OF VH1 in my opinion 😂😂
Same! She's the icon here. I don't know I'm just seeing this now- 7 months later! We ( mom and I
) love NY. Her wit, fast comebacks, she's the hbic and an icon forever.
Wtf ... how? She came from flavor of love xD
I still go back and watch Rock of Love ten years later.
Thanks for been a fans of my son pages.God bless you and your family
Bret Michaels is an amazing, level headed guy. I wasn't expecting that, but fully realized it by the end of season 1. Keep rocking, Bret.
Aww I miss these shows , Brett is very down to earth and awesome
Ahead of its time ooo come on flavor of love started it all
ydoch1 I was looking for this exact comment the moment she said it !!
THANK YOU!!!
yeah seriously
Loved this interview (and Rock of Love)! And you are just one of our favorite rock journalists and interviewers!
I wish they showed pictures of the girls. Its been awhile its hard to remember them.
Repeats on OMG NETWORK
It’s on Amazon Prime, still amazing TV!
Yes, agreed. I remember some of them
Lacey has a podcast called Talk of Love she has interviewed people recently from all these dating shows
You can watch all the seasons here
Loved Rock of Love!! Bret seems like a super honest person, and really kind. Great interview.
He seems very honest and down to earth
Thanks for listening to my music i really appreciate you
I watched every episode of rock of love back to back and as a man dating in this world Brett was a good example of how to keep cool under crazy situations. I wish he had more advice on dating and communicating.
His show was fire!!!! I’m binge watching it right now
Indeed..I am addicted
Thank you for this interview! I really enjoyed it. Big fan of rock of love.
Thanks for listening to my music i really appreciate you a lot
Thanks for been a fans of my son pages.God bless you and your family
Yesss! Watching this made me so happy. Rock of love will always have a special place in my heart.
@Brett Michael lmao what makes you think I’m gonna give my number out to someone pretending to be Bret Michaels? You couldn’t even spell his name right!
He should do another season. It’d be hilarious, remember that chick that puked her guts out than kissed him. Eewww.
Omg Marcia 🤮
I remember that lol gross
Doritos and Tequila
Omg the Brazilian girl with her tequila
siguy923 he’s married now
BRET, STAY STRONG FOR ALL OF US YOUR FANS WORLDWIDE. WE LOVE YOU MAN!!!
What happened to him
His bandana fell off.
this gentleman is a true Rockstar!
I loved rock of love always will it’s one of my favorites! I’ve been rewatching the episodes lately on tubi! What a time to be alive then! ❤️🔥😂
That's so sweet of you sweetie I really appreciate the love and support I get from you fans.
I met him online way back when I was preg. alone. It was part of his down time. He made time for me every night to keep my spirits up. I would talk to him about his baby mom and how he should try to make it work and he’d comfort me over my fears and make me laugh. He was the most down to earth person. We lost contact years ago but I will never forget the friendship he gave me and getting me through the most complicated part of my life. He truly is a great guy!
Kristi Gibson is a horrible woman. Sadly he did marry her.
I only know about her what he told me… there was a lot of love there. From what he spoke of I am glad he did!
U were probably catfished 😂😂 why would “Bret Michaels” find time to comfort somebody online every night & confide to a fan his personal relationship issues
I thought so too until the projects he told me about were finally advised to the public. He started I’m sure due to downtime boredom. But think he liked talking to a fem that showed no interest in getting with him. (Only cause I knew I wasn’t his type far from it! And I was 7 mo preg) when we started talking I didn’t care if catfish I was on bed rest living alone so I welcomed any conversation true or false. We lost contact when the sign hit him. When everything came out that he told me about long before is only then I believed it was truly him. I honestly still miss the friendship we started. He is a very compassionate person!
@@djcease1996 Why that? I don't know anything about her.
He for real is so humble and chill. He always speaks so highly of them. That’s how you know he was a good person
I hope Brett pulls through this he is such a good soul. Praying 4 u Brett!
Hello Heidi
How are you doing?
Nice meeting you here
The man never ages
I can’t be the only one that wants to know how many of these checks he nailed! LOL
I think it’s a shorter list to see which chicks Bret didn’t boink on the shows.
You know what I admire this mans commitment to his bandana-lace front look. Like it takes commitments to be a 40-50 something year old man and go in the Beauty supply store down the street every few months to get a new bandana and blonde wig and 50oz bottle of göt2b glue spray. Like he’s been doin that for his whole life now and I applaud him. King shit
LOL
Right lmao he knows how to lay that wig 😂😂
Extensions not a wig. And why not, most women have one.
What can I say? I loved to watch Rock of Love! I've always love Bret, always will. Say what u want, but he's a genuinely great guy. I only wish him happiness. &I hope to see more of him! ❤️
I just rewatched the show on Hulu a few weeks ago!
Thanks for listening to my music i really appreciate you a lot
Just binged the first season after of not watching since it was on VH1. When it was on originally my daughter was a tween and we loved it. She was the one that told me it was on CZcams. We need another one of these shows with another rock star!
Thanks for been a fans of my son pages.God bless you and your family
Wow this is so sweet of you .
I just watched it for the first time 2 weeks ago and OMG I binged the hell outta that show!!!! Also, discovered I have a crush on Bret Michaels!!! 😍😍😍😍 Even with his hair extensions! 🤣😘
Looove him I miss old reality tv where it wasn't 100% story line and scripted
Basically trash tv.
I’m from Orange County, and saw him several times sponsoring his dog toy line. He was always very kind and nice😍
Thanks for listening to my music i really appreciate you a lot
Bret Michaels is an excellent actor he has talent love you Bret stay positive 💖💖💖🥰
Thanks for listening to my music i really appreciate you
They need to bring back Rock of Love. It was a good show.
Thanks for been a fans of my son pages.God bless you and your family
I wish I could see CC Deville in one of these shows he’s such a funny guy
He is such an empath 🌈☀️ it's refreshing to see..
@Bret Michaels hi! I’d like to know why you are using someone else’s name? Have a great day
I love the show I wish you bring it back
Brett is truly one of the good guys.... rock on !!!🙂
My favourite rock vocalist Bret Micheals..Long live man..
Thanks for listening to my music i really appreciate
Daisy was my favorite! I loved her.
My husband had a fling with Daisy. Said her breath smelled like kitty litter. I won’t discuss what he said about her...... 🤭
Mandy Wright :/ Your husband is lying.
Mister Justice I was just about to say that 😂😂
I have her on FB, she looks more beautiful in this show than today
Mister Justice actually no, there’s pictures and she’s written him. Sorry
I like the guy but he lived with his long time GF and kids during the show. Lol
yeah i don't think he was 'looking for love', he has a partner it was just tv and partying
Jessie MacDonald right and making money 💰
EXACTLY!! The shows were fake AF. He was still in a long term relationship when he filmed all of the shows! He literally left his GF & kids at home, then went off to film, then came back to them after the shows were over.
I guess since his GF was okay with him banging strippers & groupies on the road, she didn't mind him staring in a "reality show" & banging groupies competing for his "love." Nothing like hearing your man getting a BJ from Lacey on live TV. ;'-)
HiAnn i Damn I didn't know! Fake the house !
Dawn Almond
Yup, that woman deserved wayyy more than a “promise” ring! I guess he’s just too immature to settle down and make an honest commitment. What a shame, I’m sure she wanted that especially after having children with him and sticking by his side through all sorts of road/touring dramas. Could be immaturity and/or a money insecurity thing.
Rock of Love 1, 2, & 3 were crazy!!! Loved them!!! I actually liked him and Amber. I wish they worked out
“Bret was such an inspiration for me being a musician. Very talented and humble. You couldn’t ask for a better role model. He’s real.”
Jesse Michaels you kind of look like Bret Michaels
Yeah, like somebody else said, you look like Bret kind of. But in your own way. And I don't mean that in a bad way. I was never one of those people that thought of him as some 'washed up' rockstar. People age and the guy looks good and has class. So, anyway, it's a compliment.
I just saw Poison in concert with Motley Crue, Def Leppard, and Joan Jett.
GREAT concert. Poison sounded good 👍
he actually is a really good guy
He's a true sweetheart. Honest, simple and true to the core.
Met him in person by accident. He treated me (52 year old female) and my 12 year old son with the utmost respect. We got pictures together and he autographed our jackets. Even a personal message for my deceased brother. One of his roadies were a dick and Bret and Bret's father got him in check. But Bret seemed so sincere. He seemed like just an average person.
@@twofry64 u can tell hes a good guy
@@teenaapperson5880 Yes. His father was as well. Both of them were so down to earth and seemed to genuinely kind.
G Man yes he is. Love your profile pic too. #Trump2020
I loved this show
So kind and conscientious about others feelings. Looking at the positive
Hello dear how are you doing
@@bretmicheal6841 quite good dear sir
That's nice dear
@@sagicari9694 where are you from
he is so sweet natured!!
Hello
How are you doing?
Nice meeting you here
I love rock of love!! I'm constantly watching all 3 seasons over and over lol.. My husband always laughs shakes his head and says really??
Thanks for listening to my music i really appreciate you
It's still so entertaining to watch
These shows were all my fav. I esp love I love money and wish I could watch season 3. They should bring these shows back. They were the best
Vincent Longo you never know that might happen they finally are showing episodes of Megan wants a millionaire and they cut I love money 3 because of the same reason they cut Megan wants a millionaire the wife killer that was on the show and was also on I love money 3 maybe now is the right time to at least play I love money 3 on youtube
I watched your ROCK OF LOVE shows. Bret your a good man. Very down to earth.
Hello dear how are you doing
He’s such a sweetheart love Bret
such a humble person !!
Miss this. Made my boyfriend watch all seasons he loved it
People saying he never talked shit... no, he only instigated the girls to go after another 😐
They signed up for the show
That's the job of Production.
Lol besides, he spent most of his time talking about himself.
Man these shows were so awesome great Sunday TV rainy day watch the flavor of love rock of love real world Miami or even those behind the music or remember the 90s shows. Miss those days.
I REMEMBER WATCHING ALL 3 SEASONS OF ROCK OF LOVE AND I WANTED AND DREAMED OF BEING ON THE SHOW BECAUSE I REALLY CARED FOR BRET AND I KNEW THAT I WANTED TO HAVE A CHANCE TO BE WITH HIM AND I WANTED TO LOVE HIM AND I STILL DO ❤
@Stevenbyt1YOUR WELCOME ❤
@Stevenbyt1I HAVE BEEN A FAN FOR MANY YEARS. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA ❤
Oh my word i actually had no idea he was from PA and now that accent is all i can hear hahaha
I have met the man and he was very very nice to me!!
Thanks for been a fans of my son pages.
Great video
Interviewer was great
She had very intuitive timing
Didn’t interrupt her guest
Didn’t manipulate attention towards herself
I definitely feel however the “formula “ was created and managed, it was well done.
I still watch rock of love seasons
It’s got its own fan following over years
Bret is a likable guy
Very easy to listen to his voice and mannerisms
Bret Michaels is a good guy. Would love to see another version of this on vh1
Ya never know you might some day. I would like to see rock of love 4, myself.
He's a total sleazeball and probably a carrier of the clap. Hard pass.
Bret doesnt have a bad bone.. He is hardcore but with soft edges... He knows real life, He has lived it.... He knows who is there and who isnt... I love him so much.. He is such a great guy!
You’re getting on everyone’s nerves! Stop this stupid BS already!
That's so sweet of you sweetie I really appreciate the love and support I get from you fans
Please come back to TV for us Brett!! 💚🙏😍😘👌🔥🎶🍹🤞
I watched Rock of love when it aired. I know that i watched season 3 but not sure if i watched seasons 1 and 2. Brett seems like a very cool guy. Very respectful and he told the producers what he wanted to do on his love journeys and not doing everything the producers wanted. I hope he find his soulmate.
Sadly he married that nightmare of a baby mama he has. Kristi Gibson.
