Warrant
At its core, WARRANT is an American rock band through and through.
Hitting it big in 1989, the Hollywood, CA based band rose through the
ranks of the local Sunset Strip scene to
the level of multiplatinum selling, chart-topping success. The band
first came into the national spotlight with their debut album Dirty
Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich. This album produced Radio and MTV chart
toppers “Down Boys,” “Sometimes She Cries,” and the massive hit “Heaven”
which reached #1 in Rolling Stone and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for
two weeks in a row. The single “Heaven” enjoyed Gold sales and the Album
went Platinum in Canada as well, eventually selling over 3 million
copies. The band toured the globe performing 262 shows in support of
DRFSR and closed the year with a Platinum Home Video.
WARRANT’s
sophomore album Cherry Pie was released in September 1990. This album,
which spawned the MTV & Radio hits “Cherry Pie,” “Uncle Tom’s
Cabin,” and “I Saw Red,” all reached the Top 10 in the United States and
went on to sell 3 million copies, reaching Platinum sales in Canada and
Australia. The band played 200 shows in support of Cherry Pie and
finished the tour headlining sheds all over the USA and ended up being
one of the top grossing tours of 1991. Over the course of their career,
WARRANT has sold over 10 million albums worldwide. The song “Cherry Pie”
has taken on a pop culture life of its own, being featured in countless
movies, TV shows, commercials and the hugely popular video game Guitar
Hero II.
