back in the day when these guys were poppin, I wasnt really a fan, but I didnt hate em for sure. Jani always seemed to smile and keep things real in interviews etc and always had respect for his 'proper' front man status. hearing this track after a million years I can really hear his strong hallmarks as an extremely talented rocker. RIP Jani, Im sorry to see the Alc got to ya and took you away like that... ~ Swiney.
Warrant would have been better off if the god damn record label had of left the album titled Uncle Tom's Cabin like Jani wanted it to be. fuckin record label ruined everything that warrant was supposed to be.. they turned an awesome metal band into a Cherry Pie metal band.
as someone who grew up in the 80s/90s, skating to metalica b4 they sold out (pre-justice), megadeth, etc, i laughed at the bubble gum 'metal' of the day. jusy got my first new crotch rocket- a 91 zx-6, and a buddy who was a senior had the baddest truck at school- a 92 toyota with 35s a a system. this was when subs were the shit n most metal didn't have much bass. this tune was in his cd player- also the newest shit. it blew me away... God im old. thanks 4 the memories!!!
I have no idea why the media isn't saying anything about Jani's death, yet they'll go on and on about a has-been like Amy Winehouse. :/
Great song. It took some searching to find it. xD I heard it a month ago, and it came to mind again today, but I didn't know the title, or the artist. I had to search it by the lyrics I remembered.
I did not like Warrant growing up, I thought them and Poison was everything wrong with metal but this song really hits it on the screws. So RIP Jani, you put out exactly one song I really liked.
@MentosProductions J's rolling over in his grave that "cherry pie" and songs like this are going to be what he's remembered for. Rest in Peace, brother J.
uh.... just because you dont hear it on the radio, or see it on MTV, you cant say that all of the new music sux. There are very talented musicians today, cranking out masterpieces for the last 20 years. If you think that this was the glory days of metal or music??. I am not judging this band, i just read these comments and i am from the eighties, this was on the radio all the time, but when rap came out everyone went wigger.
I used to listen nothing but metal pretty much a while back, well eventually I grew out of it and branched out musically.
However I miss this song it's been a while since I've heard it the instruments in this song are just flatout amazing . . . I may not like Glam music (aside from Skid Row) any more but this song is badass!
This was the ONLY, good song they did. It wasn't Nirvana that killed the 80's, it was these guys and Poison. This shit was regurgitated for so long that everyone had enough. Blame these un-original, copy cat, cookie cutter bands bands!!! Fuckers couldn't even come up with their own ideas.
@starnscot The same thing is going on with all these emo/rap bands. Why aren't people sick of them yet. It was a combination of things that led to the downfall of hair metal. It was what you said. People were sick of it, but also people like Kurt Cobain and Jerry Cantrell came out with these awesome new sounding ideas. Still even now, the 80s aren't completely dead. The best of the genre lives on today in the form of a few power metal bands.
92% of teens have turned to pop and hip-hop.If you are part of the 8% that still listens to real music, copy and paste this message to 5 other videos. DONT LET ROCK N ROLL DIE !
@deathbirthisafaggot6 Killed it? You are dumber than bread. It's still here, dumbass. The only thing Nirvana ever killed was good personal hygiene. I give you Hole. I rest my case.
What sucks is that Jani said this is the kind of stuff they wanted to do, But the record execs wanted cheesecake shit like Cherry Pie. I wonder if they coulda stood their ground as a heavier band instead of being remembered for shit like 'I saw red". This is probably their best song......
@78Revolutions Their first album "DRFSR" was technically excellent and fun. Cherry Pie on the other hand was embarrising for the band. Only Uncle Tom's Cabin, Bed of Roses and Blind Faith were good. The rest were crap especially title track which became a laughing stock for Jani Lane. But CBS/Epic were a major label and you couldn't control them just look at bands like Riot and Meliah Rage. They were too commercial for their good own even though I like Thundersteel.
cherry pie has an obscene video, thats why it gets hated on. And the whole song is about sex...so, its easily to figure out why people dont like it. But songs like this, just show their dominance.
"When we did "Uncle Tom's Cabin,' we were going for something serious, in the 'Janie's Got a Gun' vein. That was an awesome video. We wanted to do something like that."
He regretfully says:
"Originally we scripted it so the band wasn't even in the clip. That's how we wanted it--to be like a mini-movie. But the record company said no way."
Eric mentions how even the supposed finished product (of the video) suffered from record company interference:
"The rough cut of the video was a little too heavy for the label. They made us take the blood out, and there was this one scene when the bodies are getting dragged through the swamp."
He explains why:
"They took that shot out, because the sheriff kicks the girl in the head to prove she's really dead. Kicking the head was too much so...see ya."
ya warrant is without a doubt one of the best bands in the universe...look at their songs....rainmaker, cherry pie, uncle toms cabin, bed or roses, andy warhol, and the list still grows wish they wouldnt slow down....
@shaknbakx2 yeah i know what you mean warrant is the best band around the ex lead singer Jani lane is still the best good looking singing,playing and dad there is on the planet.
