When you write a song as great as Cherry Pie, you just go on and name your album after it. It starts with a lyrical call back to the debut album, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, before Warrant 2.0 takes over and it's time to party. The video, much like Whitesnake’s Here I Go Again video, even brought a Hollywood Starlet to prominence, with Bobbi...
Warrant’s truest power ballad. The MTV video cemented in our brain that Warrant was being branded as the White Leather band. Was that a thing? No. But, we feel like it should be. Reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 is no small feat, and Heaven did that.
A huge riff that even early heavy metal bands would have been proud of it. Mr. Rainmaker might be Warrant’s best overall song. Unfortunately, we're taking a dash of popularity into account. Back for a ripping performance is Mike Slamer, Warrant's guitar solo'ing side piece who 100% improves their sound. They should be grateful for this man. https:/...
Uncle Tom's Cabin is an incredible song. The intro, as played by Lane's brother, Eric Oswald, is among the best parts of all of Warrant's tunes. Not many Hair Metal bands went off script and produced an Uncle Tom's Cabin. Like Skid Row on their entire second album, Slave to the Grind, Warrant went a little bit harder on this track, bending notes up...
I Saw Red is a lyrical lifeboat in the sea of hair metal hijinks that is Warrant's second album, Cherry Pie. Where DRSFR was a young band on the way up, Cherry Pie features an older, wiser Warrant that still parties hard, but now must deal with the consequences of fame and fortune.
One of rock's biggest questions revolves around the Down Boys. Where dothey go?! Is this a song about getting the girl? Losing the girl? We're very confused. What we do know that is that last falsetto, "Where the GOOOOOOO!" is excellent.
We've always been curious as to why Lane tells his darling how he feels when she is sleeping. Anyway, Warrant can't resist distortion. Ballads like Blind Faith don't really require it, but the band just can't stay away. The cowboy hat and get up in the video let us know that Jani is to be taken seriously when performing this ode to the love of his ...
A huge opening riff into yet another ballad. You wonder if Lane wasn't born 15-20 years too early, as the singer-songwriter laden late 90s/early 2000s could have easily featured half a dozen Warrant songs performed on just a six string. This is one of them. Listen, we aren't saying Jani & The Boys are Richard Marx, author of countless songs includi...
A song about rebellious youth who don't need no shit talked to them anymore by their elders. This list of these style songs in Rock N' Roll is long.
A medium-paced rocker, the kind that all bands had to have to bridge the gap between the ballads and the coke-fueled, party ragers, Bed of Roses tells a gentle, poignant story of a guy trying to help Desiree out with her tough luck situation. Not to be confused with Bed of Roses from Jovi, which has an entirely different meaning.

One of the more obscure German Speed Metal bands, but one of the better ones for my money. Warrant should appeal to those of you who appreciate the music of early-era Rage, as they exhibit a similar kind of Thrash (but not quite) style.
‘Most Wanted’ is a re-issue of the band’s 1999 Greatest & Latest compilation with four different bonus tracks, among which covers of Cheap Trick‘s ‘I Want You to Want Me’, Ted Nugent’s ‘Free for All’ and Bon Jovi’s ’Lay Your Hands on Me’.
