Local Anesthesia: The listen game The Slip's on-time performance by BOB GULLA

Over the course of the past several summers, Poison have proved the one '80s pop-metal band capable of attracting a shed-filling audience. And they've done so by rejecting the urge to modernize, instead banging home the classic formulation of big hair and bigger hooks. Lo and behold, they took that mandate into the studio and made Hollyweird (Cyanide Records), an old-fashioned 20th-century metal album, just a tad heavier, but not much -- think Slave to the Grind-era Skid Row. Poison's package tour -- with Cinderella, Winger, and Faster Pussycat opening -- hits the Verizon Wireless Arena (603-644-5000) in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Tuesday; the Tweeter Center (617-931-2000) in Mansfield on Wednesday; and Meadows Music (203-265-1501) in Hartford next Friday, July 5.
