Biography

There is more than one artist with this name :

1) Hard rock band from Los Angeles, California.
2) Speed Metal band from Düsseldorf, Germany.

1) Warrant are rockers from Los Angeles, California which enjoyed its greatest success in 1990 with the single and album “Cherry Pie”.

It is the music created during the 1980s and early 1990s which remains the band’s signature. The band’s brand of hard rock was loud, cheesy, sex-obsessed, and usually delivered with a mischievous sense of humour. The generally lighthearted band became known for raucous party anthems filled with thinly-veiled references to sex (“Down Boys”, “Cherry Pie”) but also for sentimental, melodic ballads (“Heaven”, “Sometimes She Cries”, “I Saw Red”).

In January 1988 Warrant signed a contract with Columbia Records, and released their debut album “Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich”.

The band’s second record, Cherry Pie, was released in March 1990, and spawned the hits “Cherry Pie”, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” and “I Saw Red”. It reached the Top Ten in the United States, and went on to sell 3 million copies.

In 1992, Warrant released “Dog Eat Dog”. The record, an attempt by the band to evolve in the face of changing musical trends, received critical acclaim but achieved only moderate commercial success.

After this, the band would begin a long string of member changes, including even singer Jani Lane leaving the band briefly.

    Earth to metal fags, some people don't give a shit about "true metal", we just like whatever music we like

    Jani Lane made them famous, they should break up once and for all, at least as a show of respect.

    Alex-Rock, agree w/you. It seems like, most people don't understand the difference between cock rock and real metal band.

    Gay Warrant even couldn't play guitars themselves so they had to hire guitarist to play instead of them. German Warrant rules!
