Upon arriving at the studio, Blaze gave herself a mental peptalk and slap to the face as she prepared herself for what lay ahead. In vying for the Love and Affection of a musician, she'd known that he'd eventually get her into a studio, if only to show her how the process of doing what he loved actually worked. She was still a bit nervous, but not 'cuz she was far from being a musical being–au contraire, she was actually more musical than most'd guess on first glance.
Raven was actually just as musical as her big sister, even if they were equally ignorant as to how the recording process actually worked. Both could sing Circles around Poison frontman Bret Michaels, and they were both extremely talented multi-instrumentalists. They could put poor lead guitarist CC DeVille to shame by playing his own riffs on instruments he couldn't even Begin to play, if they put their minds to it.
In the studio, they were introduced to the rest of the band, who'd congregated to work on their project while Bobby was filming the first challenge. The lone brunette woman managed to compartmentalize so that her attraction to Rikki wouldn't show for a couple different reasons. Yeah, she was partial to the drummer more so than his Dark-toned band mate, but she was Intent on giving this show a real and true shot. She also didn't want the bassist to think she was just using him to get to his friend, 'cuz even if that didn't get her eliminated, it'd no doubt cause unnecessary bad blood between them.
"So, have ya figured out which ones ya wanna work on, ladies?" Bret asked, being his typical Charming self.
"Personally, I'm kinda thinking I Never Cry for myself," Raven answered. "I've always been more of a Cooper fan than not."
"Gotta go with Lil Willy, myself," Lacey said with a dirty grin.
"What about you, sweetheart?" This question was posed by the drummer as he looked at the other ginger.
"Dunno yet, unless y'all're gonna be redoing old covers," she answered, shrugging.
"Whyddaya say that?" CC asked curiously, an arm draped over the body of his guitar, which rested on his thigh.
"'Cuz personally, my favorite outta this entire list is Your Mama Don't Dance," Blaze chuckled. "It'd be my first pick every Time, but that's only gonna work if y'all plan to redo it, now ain't it?"
"She's a point, guys," the vocalist agreed, nodding as he noticed the surprised look of his brunette friend and band mate. "What's up, Bob?"
"First of all, don't fuckin' call me that," he growled. "Ya know I hate it."
None of the women were immune to giggling, one of his pet peeves now made obvious to them.
"Second of all, I'm kinda surprised Blaze actually likes that particular cover," Bobby said in an actual response to the question.
"Believe it or not, more of my favorite Poison tunes come from Open Up than they don't," the younger ginger laughed.
"Really?" the guitarist asked.
"Back to the Rocking Horse, Every Rose, Fallen Angel, Good Love, Nothin' but a Good Time, Tearin' Down the Walls, and Your Mama Don't Dance," Blaze answered.
The guys were all surprised, both 'cuz that was damn near the entire album and 'cuz not many fans even knew tunes like Back to the Rocking Horse unless the grew up during the eighties. Since they were all curious and needed some Time to set up a few things, they asked what her favorites off the rest of their studio albums were. In fact, the question was posed to the other two girls since even the trio of blondes wanted to keep things fair as their friend learned more about his dates.
