Warrant - Cherry Pie

So by the end of the 90's bands like Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Smashing Pumpkins defined the era in rock. Songs like Smells Like Teen Spirit, Plush, Black Hole Sun, and Jeremy were the songs of choice for a generation. But before that, the early 90's still belonged to the 80's. Hair Bands still ruled MTV and the arena's and Warrant was at the forefront of it all. Warrant burst on the scene in 1989 with Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinken Rich and hits like Heaven, Down Boys, and Sometimes She Cries pushed the record to double platinum status. 1990 made Warrant even bigger with the release of Cherry Pie. The record was originally titled Uncle Tom's Cabin, after what is probably the best Warrant song ever. But the label wanted a single. A big single. And Cherry Pie was born and so was Warrant's legacy. The record is solid. Hits like the title track, I Saw Red, and Uncle Tom's Cabin helped the record go double platinum. Songs like Mr. Rainmaker, Blind Faith, and Inside Out become concert favs. The record is solid from start to finish. But it all came crashing down when Nirvana came on the scene and Chery Pie has haunted at least frontman Jani Lane ever since. Warrant would release Dog Eat Dog in '93. It would go gold, but didn't manage any hits. Ashame, cause it's a solid hard rock record. Several releases and lineup changes happened over the years, finally the original lineup toured in 2008 but it was short lived. Frontman Jani Lane was ousted from the band once again and replaced. But anytime you wanna relive the heyday of the 80's, throw on Cherry Pie, you tube the videos, and get ready for your hair to instantly get big... just like music was meant to be!!!
