Ric Browde (born 1954) was involved in the emergence of the Los Angeles glam music scene in the mid 1980s. He produced Poison's multi-platinum debut album Look What the Cat Dragged In, which unexpectedly took America by storm in 1987. Browde followed his success with Poison by producing Faster Pussycat's debut album in 1987[1] and co-writing and co-producing Joan Jett's return to commercial success Up Your Alley. Browde later produced a series of widely ignored albums, including LA Glamsters Jetboy, English girl group No Shame, LA's Kill For Thrills, Flies on Fire, Dogs D'Amour, Finland's junkie/guitar hero Andy McCoy, former lead guitarist of Hanoi Rocks.
In the seventies, Browde produced several platinum albums for renowned right wing gun-toting guitarist Ted Nugent, despite them mutually hating each other. After his record sales dwindled, Browde made a career change with his satirical novel "While I'm Dead...Feed the Dog" in 1999. Translated into several languages the book is currently being made into a movie by Andrew Lazar.
In 2006, Browde inspired the album title More Boring Than Poison by British Techno-punk band Kierononononon^on, after he unexpectedly sent them a single word review that stated "boring".
