With a pair of double-platinum albums, Warrant were one of the most popular glam-metal bands of the late 80s.
Formed in Los Angeles in the mid-80s, the group featured vocalist Jani Lane, guitarist Erik Turner, guitarist Joey Allen, bassist Jerry Dixon, and drummer Steven Sweet.
They releasedΒ Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking RichΒ late in 1988 and by the middle of 1989, it had climbed into the Top Ten and launched the hit singlesΒ Down BoysΒ andΒ Sometimes She Cries.
Released in the summer of 1990,Β Cherry PieΒ was an even bigger success, climbing into the Top Ten and featuring the Top Ten hitsΒ I Saw Red,Β Cherry PieΒ andΒ Heaven.
Warrant had some trouble continuing their multi-platinum success during the alternative grungeΒ explosion of 1992, although their third album,Β Dog Eat Dog, did go gold.
