Michaels plays a post-apocalyptic version of himself and will be performing an acoustic version of Poison's hit ballad "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" in an episode to air in 2014.

Eric Kripke, creator and executive producer of "Revolution," said "Bret is truly a great guy. I'm a huge fan of his music and I'm thrilled he's appearing on Revolution."
