The Greatest Hits reunion tour took place in the summer of 1999, with the original lineup.
The show at Pine Knob Amphitheater in metro Detroit drew a sell-out crowd of 18,000, and other shows averaged crowds of 12,000.
In addition, the band appeared on VH1's Behind the Music.
On March 14, 2000, Crack a Smile...and More!
was finally released, with the single "Shut Up, Make Love" and power ballad "Be the One".
In addition to the outtakes, live recordings from the 1990 installment of the MTV Unplugged series were included.

After the Poison reunion DeVille soon released his solo album, Samantha 7, and Michaels released the solo/Poison album Show Me Your Hits which featured re-recorded Poison classics.
The album featured Michaels performing Poison hits in a new way and also featured other artists with Michaels on selected tracks.
Poison also released Power to the People, their first album with DeVille in nine years.
The record contained five new studio songs: "Power to the People" which features a music video, "Can't Bring Me Down", "The Last Song", "Strange", and "I Hate Every Bone In Your Body But Mine", the latter with DeVille on lead vocals for the first time.
The remainder of the album featured live performances from the greatest hits reunion tour in 1999.
With two Poison albums released in 2000 the band once again hit the road and made it back to back successful tours.

In May 2001 Poison released the web single "Rockstar" as a preview of the upcoming new album and once again went on tour, touring with Warrant on the Glam Slam Metal Jam tour.

Poison's sixth full studio album, Hollyweird, was released on May 21, 2002.
It was Poison's first full album of new material with DeVille back in the band.
The album was heavily criticised by both critics and fans, feeling it had poor production quality and an unimpressive new sound.
One popular site said "It's muddy, under-produced, badly mixed and features crappy drum and guitar sounds".
Other reviewers were more impressed, such as AllMusic, who declared it "one of Poison's best records, if not their best".
Bobby Dall on The Who cover single "Squeeze Box" stated,
...Actually, that was Rikki's idea.
When we came into rehearsals...to break the ice for the new record...before we started fightin’ and arguin’ about songs, we went through a list of covers and remakes. ...
It was the song that stuck and I think it fits perfectly for our band.
It has a great melody and a great vocal, but it's also kinda sparse and undefined...it was kinda like an open pallet for us.

 "Shooting Star" was also released as a single for the album and was referred to as part 2 to the Fallen Angel single from Open Up And...Say Ahh.

Following the Hollyweird world tour Poison released their second compilation album, Best of Ballads & Blues, in 2003.
It contains a new acoustic version with new lyrics of "Something to Believe In" and a new acoustic version of "Stand".
Michaels also released his second solo album, Songs of Life, which featured singles "Bittersweet" and "Raine" which featured a music video and was dedicated to his daughter.
On January 7 that year, after almost 20 years with Poison, Rockett released his first solo album, Glitter 4 Your Soul, which was distributed online.
The album was a tribute to 1970s glam rock.

During the summer of 2004, Poison was invited to serve as the opening band on Kiss's "Rock the Nation" tour.
Poison were largely inactive in 2005 which is when Michaels released his third solo album, the country-rock-influenced Freedom Of Sound, which included the single "All I Ever Needed" featuring Jessica Andrews, which also featured a music video and appeared on Billboard's "Hot Country Songs" chart, with its best position being number 45.
It also included the singles "Right Now, Right Here" and "Open Road" which Michaels performed live on Nashville Star, a country reality television program which featured Michaels as one of the judges.

In March 2006 DeVille appeared on VH1's reality television show The Surreal Life, the same day he got out of rehab.
