Tensions running high between members is the cause behind many a band throwing in the guitar.

But for glam metal band Poison, which stops Saturday at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles and Thursday at Pala Casino, it’s that friction and feel-good party songs that keep the group in the public eye.

“I think that’s part of what the public enjoys about us, too, we wear it on our collar,” bassist Bobby Dall explained in a recent telephone interview.

“It’s sort of like NASCAR. You watch us run around the stage until one of us kills the other. I think secretly they sit out there and root for one of us to go off,” he said, laughing.

Some of the more public tussles between the band members include the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards, when guitarist C.C. DeVille and singer Bret Michaels got into a confrontation after the band’s performance, essentially marking DeVille’s seven-year-long departure from the band.

Then, in 2006, Dall and Michaels started fighting onstage, with a microphone and a bass being hurled through the air during an Atlanta concert.
