    	Saw them on MTV last night whilst helping a buddy pack
    	up her apartment.
    
    	I found them to be really good, too, but I like just about
    	anything, so I don't know how "valid" my opinion is on them.
    	Their looks are pretty common....long hair, cute, etc.
    
    	I can't remember the name of the album off the top of my head
    	but I know it's something like "Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking
    	Rich".  The song they probably played was the same one they've
    	been playing on MTV...ummm....Arggh!!  What's the name of it!?!
    
    	Bad Boys??  Dirty Boys??  Ohhhh..I can't remember!!  Can 
    	someone help me out here?!

    Cat,
    
    I don't have anymore info but I definitely agree with you.  I heard
    Warrant's song "Downboys" for the first time a couple weeks ago
    and I love it.  I know the name of their album is DIRTY ROTTEN FILTHY
    SCOUNDRELS.....
    
    Sue

    Sorry, I screwed up (doing a lot of that lately) Must be this
    place.........  Isn't Dirty Rotten Filty Scoundrels the name of
    a movie?  I meant what the note before me sent (ha ha)

    
        RE: Cat
    
                No offense, but I'm not impressed with "Down
                Boys" at all.
    
                I'd take Britny Fox over Warrant(sp?) any day.

    Re: Sue
    
    	Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is the name of the movie.
    	Tig's title sounds like a good one for the album.
        Does anyone really know the name?
    
    	SueJ                                       
    	

    re .4 ---> You can keep Britny Fox, the lead singer.... real awesome
    voice.  His lips look like Steve Tylor's and his sounds like a bull
    horn.  
       The album is called DIRTY ROTTEN FILTHY STINKING RICH.  The 
    first song of the album their playing on WAAF is Down Boys.  Awesome
    tune!!!!!  Cindy J.---> I'm back!

    I saw the video, Nice Looking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    	Good song too!

    Alan and I heard these guys on the radio in Denver on Monday and
    I thought for sure the song they were playing was Motley Crue. 
    It sounded just like them (until the guitar solo).

    	The album is good there a great Rock n Roll band with a little
    	 more guitar than say Joan Jett, not real heavy but not that
    	light either.
    
    	I think"Down Boys" kicks!!!

    Love that tune.
    
    Warrant might make it big, some of the "biggies" of late are fading
    fast, and the market is going to be wide open.
    
    You watch.

    Hi,
      I've just sent of "Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich" on CD.....
      I think "Down Boys" is a brilliant track!!! Do you know if they
      will release a "Video". By the way has anybody go a spare copy
      of "Down Boys"!!!!!!
    
                          Thanks 
                           Rock of ages  
                                                   
                             

"down boys" has been played on MTV alot.  Check it out on the HBB on
    Saturdays.
    
    

    He can't, he's English (same as me).

    I like "Down Boys", it's kind of a catchy pop type tune.  However I
    heard another of Warrents songs on the radio this weekend and I was NOT
    impressed.  I didn't catch the name of the song, but I swear it sounded
    just like Poison!  The standard lame pop-metal ballad song...really
    weak IMO.

    	I meant to put my two cents in here awhile ago, but once
    	again, I forgot! (8
    
    	I picked up Warrant's new tape, too, and wasn't too thrilled
    	with it either.  Some of the songs weren't bad, but in general,
    	it didn't make me wanna crank up the tape player.  knowwhatimean?!

    I'm lkike Greg...   I like "Down Boize"  but think the rest of the
    albums is on the down side from mediocre.
    
    jc

	 I like Down Boize and most of the rest of the album.....(plus
	 love that hair!  yikes!)

	 I wish I hadn't listened to all you and gone to see them
	 anyway when they were here a couple months ago.

    I tell ya I got D.R.F.S.R yesterday and there isn't a single track
    I hate!!!
    I think Down Boys is probably their best track, but i like 32 pennies,
    Cold Sweat, So Damn Pretty (Should Be Against The Law) and In The
    Sticks.............
    Their my favourites but I like the other tracks as well.
    
    If anybody hasn't got the down boys video grab your self a copy
    of Hard 'N' Heavy.

    (Who else thinks that Jani Lane looks like Brian Kelly?  ;^)  )

    BTW Warrant are supposed to be the supporting act for Aerosmith
    on their UK tour.

    -------------------

The song "Heaven Isn't To Far Away" is a pretty cool song - maybe I'll have to 
pick up this CD after all (I had sorta writtne them off after not hearing 
anything else after "Down Boys"...).

BTW - "Heaven" sounds *just*like "The Way I Feel Tonight" by the Bay City 
Rollers - don't be suprised if you see the band sued (yes, its *that* 
close!).

cat

    I have Warrant's record and I love it .
    
    Also, just wanted to let you know that Warrant is suppose to be on the 
    Arsenio Hall Show on September 15, and Jani Lane is suppose to have a 
    few lines in a new television show.  I think it's called Bodyguard.
    
    Diane (just found out about this note and I think it great).
    
    

    I like Warrant alot !  I've got the CD at home, and think it's a
    little glam/bubblegum, but I'm a sucker for tastefully placed power
    chords...
    
    jc

    I *finally* bought the album last week, before I went to CA,...
    I like most of it, but alot of their tunes sound the same..
    
    CJ

You know..it's really amazing....quit a few of you saying that Warrant is
great are the same ones that a few months ago told me they 
s*cked and I shouldn't waste my money to go see them (right before _Down Boys_
came out)


Tsk, tsk!  

/kath_who_likes_them_and_will_probably_never_listen_to_some_people_again!

    
    Did you know that Brian Kelly's....ooops....I mean Jani Lane's real
    name is John Oswald and he used to play drums?

    Copied from Kerrang (Yes, I'm reading that rag again!) Issue 260
    
    Hold all calls boozin' buddies, cos we got a humdinger an' a doozie
    of a tale to lay on you lucky, lucky, lucky buggers.  Them US
    we-might-be-wimpy-on-record-but-we-kick-ass-live merchants Warrant
    have been doin' the bad-boy bop around groovy ol' London nightclub
    scene durin their reshent promotional stint in Blighty.
    
    FACT!  After shakin' their bottoms onstage at notorious rock night
    at the Hippodrome the lads took their bows (well nobody else wanted
    'em) an' poured their beer over the 'crowd'.  Now, the 'kids' in
    the front row were ever-so-slightly peeved at receivin' a taste
    of their own medicine, so dragged singer Jani Lane into their midst
    an' reputedly (yep, another FACT!) introduced he of the upside-down
    eyelids to some bare-knuckled Brit hospitality!
    
    FACT!  The next day Jani cancelled a photo session claimin' to be
    'ill'.  Suuuuuuuuuuuspect!
    
    FACT!  A coupla daze later, devoid of wounded Jani, Warrant checked
    out the Astoria's increasingly dodgy Friday Rock Night.  And accordin'
    to our man at the scene, it was pretty close on kickin' out tie
    when one of the venue's ever=friendly Ejection Technicians 'politely'
    asked a member of Warrant to drink up and bugger off.  The UNSPECIFIED
    WARRANT MEMBER responded by 'politely' telling the technician to
    go take a hike.  To which he responded by 'politely' pushing the
    unspecified Warrant personage off his stool.  To which the unspecified
    but obviously towering Warrant member responded standing up (and
    up and up) and 'politely' bopped said security staff geezer!
    
    Natch, the infamous inhouse security decide to hastily deposit said
    members of Warrant on the pavement - WITHOUT any broken bones! 
    Either Warrant are tougher than they look or they're just lucky,
    lucky b*stards!

	Saw Warrant at the San Jose Civic last Friday.  The acoustics
	in that place aren't too hot, but they sounded okay.  Jani
	talks too much! I liked it at first, but then it started getting
	kind of boring.  But he was semi-humorous!  The only thing I didn't
	appreciate were the remarks about 30 year olds (That's just hitting
	too close to home!)  And they are terrible poseurs, but other than
	that they're not too bad to listen to/and pretty damn good to look at.

	We went to a rock auction (great stuff, wished I had some dough!)
	after the show at a local club, the Cabaret.  Craig Chaquico (sp?)
	was there, Jimmy DeGrasso (Y & T) was there, and rumour said that
	Warrant was supposed to show up too.  They did.  They were burnt
	but managed to talk to everyone at the club (there were only 
	about 30 people there).  A friend of their's happened to sit be-
	side me, so he got Joey Allen to sign a back stage pass for me.
	When I asked how the show the night before went with Bad English
	opening - he didn't say much! Can't wait to hear from Deen.  Any
	way they were pretty cool. And it was a fun meeting them.

    I happened to be in Connecticut friday night when Motley Crue and
    Warrant were playing at the Civic Center. Jani Lane did an autograph
    signing at the bar we were partying in. To make a long story short,
    my girlfriend and her boyfriend and I were mistaken for Nikki Sixx and
    the Crue girls (i guess Motley Crues' back up singers, but i don't knwo
    for sure)....anyway, we were standing on a staircase all by ourselves
    and the crowd decided that we must be celebrities and started screaming
    at us....honest to god, i'm not making this up, the place went
    berserk... it was a riot....Jani totally lost control of the room,
    no one was paying any attention to the poor man....so, he makes his way
    over to me and starts spewing alot of b.s. in my ear when basically
    what he was doing, was just trying to stay somewhere in the
    limelight...he started telling people around him that i was his fiancee
    and stuff and in between my hysterical laughter and the crowd screaming
    i said something like "i'm outta here" and he said ok, let's go...so,
    my friends and i took off and jani and the guards all left together...
    it was really bizarre but i thought it was very astute of him to
    assess the situation quickly and find someway of capitalizing on all
    the attention....which was directed at us and not him....there was no
    way he was leaving that room with no one paying him any attention, so
    he jumped into a situation where he'd still look good, by joining my
    friends and I.....no idiot he......well, jani, if you're reading...
    i'm sorry i didn't  recognize you when you tugged on my sleeve...guess 
    you're not used to that...and sorry we stole your thunder, honey!.....i 
    did get a boot out of it though..(insert evil grin)............./karen
    

    Ha ha.  What a dork.
    
    I hope that shows him how un-important or un-popular he really is. 
    That's the only reason I'm not going to the Crue show is because I
    don't want him to get one little cent from my ticket.  I wouldn't be
    mistaken for anyone though.  That must have been a total riot!  That
    would have been great.

    	What do you guys dislike so much about him?

    	I never thought Warrant was fantastic, but they were

    Hello again....this is another in the "these things can only happen to
    me" department.....remember my little story about running into Jani in 
    Connecticut..i think it was reply number 43 or somewhere around there..
    well it happened again this past friday night. As i'm sure you know,
    Warrant and Motley Crue played the Centrum this past friday and sat.
    nite. I went to the show on saturday nite...but friday at about 11pm or
    so i strolled into McGillicuddy's in Worcester and ran smack dab into
    Jani and the rest of the band....he started screaming "Oh my God, i
    don't believe it, you two again!!" and raced over to my friend and I, 
    swept us up and deposited us at their table.....he, apparently
    remembered the last encounter we had the previous friday. His bass
    player Jerry immediately started to try and schmooz my girlfriend by
    saying little things like "baby, i've got a condom with your name on
    it!"...what a hopeless romantic, huh?...(or is that a hopeful, bozo??)
    i don't know, in any case, he couldn't have turned her more off if
    he'd tried.....first of all, my friend is gorgeous (and i'm not the
    only one who thinks so)...she's heard it all before..and this approach
    just pisses her off no matter who you are...so, in the end...their whole
    approach was to get all the attractive women in the place to sit around
    their table in the corner to make it all look good....we  sat there for 
    awhile and when it was apparent what was going on, we then got up and
    left...while we were sitting there all these little girls were coming
    over for pictures and were looking at me like i must be  jani's main
    event of the evening and i tired of that pretty quick....although he
    had his arm around me, i think it was more to keep the girls at bay than
    for any other reason, guess he must have felt comfy with me after the
    rather strange circumstances of our bumping into each other twice in
    one week.I must say he was a perfect gentleman and we had alot of fun
    talking. I only asked him one question cause he hates to be asked any
    questions ...says it feels like an interview.....i asked him what
    question he most hated to be asked in a professional interview...he said 
    his least favorite is "how does it feel to be an overnite
    success?"....he says he always wants to say "F -You" since he's slogged
    around in bars playing for the last ten years....it hardly seems to be 
    overnite......I left after awhile cause i got uncomfortable...i make a
    lousy groupy....i asked the other guys if they played in the band and
    what instruments they played etc...Jerry, the bass player and (for you
    ladies out there)...the most adorable of the group laughed when i 
    asked what he played and he said "gee, i guess you missed last months
    copy of Teen Beat, huh?....i laughed and said it must have gotten lost
    in the mail.....they are  all pretty normal and i can't even
    fault jerry for his raging hormones....he gave it a shot......he needs to 
    work on his smooth a bit if he wants to deal with real women...than again,
    i suppose there are enough girls out there that would do anything for the 
    chance.....and isn't that frightening?...to make a long long story short.
    ..we had a good time and the highlight was when the band got up, took 
    over the stage...(a band called Roxxi was playing that night) and played.
    ..they did ZZ's, Tush and something else that i don't remember...i don't 
    know if they played particularly well but a good time was had by all....
    re: tigga...don't know if your allegation is correct but believe me there 
    were plenty of little ladies there that would have trudged out the door had
    he asked them...........i scraped his hand off my knee and went home...
    so after all this bumping into these people in different states, i went
    to the concert the following night and only heard their last song....
    oh well, i went to hear the Crue anyway....GREAT show! the one down
    side to Jani and co. is that they promised alot of people...like the
    band at McGillicuddy's, tix and passes and they never came through so if
    you should bump into them and they say the same thing to you...don't
    believe it unless their security people take your name down...those 
    are the guys that makes tix and passes happen!

    
    	Whew!!!  That was a tad bit tough to read through.  Did
    	you manage to get a breath in there, Karen?  (^;

    	Has anyone heard the new Warrant album, "Cherry Pie"?
    
    	I have it on loan from my sister's boyfriend, and I am rather
    	impressed ... there's some great stuff on this album!!
    
    	"Uncle Tom's Cabin"			"Train, Train"
    	"Cherry Pie"
    
    	[and another, which happens to be my favorite song on the album,
    	but I can't remember the name of it!!]
    
    	The last "song" on the album is pitiful ... it's called "Ode to
    	Tipper Gore" and contains excerpts from Jani Lane's 'stage banter'
    	from concerts.  You can guess what it sounds like.

    	Do you think it's better or worse than DRFSR??

    I just bought the album and in my limited playing of it, I think it 
    was worth the $6.99. Got some good songs on it and a couple of ballads
    and the ODE.... One thing I learned was that CC Deville plays Lead
    Guitar on Cherry Pie ( the single ). Maybe we have have found out
    who may open fr Poison on there upcoming tour????
    I think it will be as good if not better than the new album after it 
    grows a little more on me.

    I've seen that vid for Cherry Pie on eMpTV a few times now and still
    can't decide if I like it or not.  Yeah it's a kind of catchy song with

    it's kind of lame.

    			- Carl Plaster, Sept 1990
    
    I personally think them a serious gaggle of poseur glam losers, who
    need to hire attractive women to sell their music for them.  I mean,
    there is no need to have a woman down on her knees behind that car
    door.  "Hey, look at us...we're hard guys, this woman will pretend to
    give us oral sex."  The music is abyssmal.
    
    But then again, my opinion has been known to be elitist before, I guess
    this comes from working in radio.

> The music is abyssmal.
  
    Come on, Lisa, don't hold back.  Tell us what you really think of it.
    
    ;^)

    Yeh Lisa, could you be more specific.

    
    
    	Like Greg (?) said, the tune itself is somewhat catchy but
    	the lyrics are pretty stupid.  The "piece of pie" idea has
    	been overused.
    
    	tigga~~~

    Ok, you asked for it.
    
    This record suffers from a severe case of
    bad-hard-rock-generic-commercialism.  There is nothing new at all. The
    same nondescript guitar riffs that appear in a variety of the "heavy
    metal" released since Motley Crue first hit it big back in the early
    80's.  Garden variety "musicians" in the latest leather and bandannas,
    and the prettiest hair since Brooke Shields.   Lyrics directly from the
    Cray "let's describe our prepubescent wet dreams" Lyric Generator....
    "Oooohhh baby, your chest is really big, your hair is big, your butt is
    big, why don't you come to my awesome bedroom, take off your clothes 
    and let me sodomize you....."
    
    Of course, you need something to distinguish this band from say, Winger
    or Slaughter, so they throw in the woman.  That does seem to be the
    thing that everyone remembers.

    	RE: Lisa
    
    	Funny you should mention "nothing new" ... the intro to "Sure
    	Feels Good to Me" reminds me alot of VH's "I'm the One".
    
    							GTI
    

    re: Lisa
    
    Of course, I have to agree with you...

    Actually Lisa said pretty much the same stuff that has been said in the
    <insert poser band> topic. She's right 'tho. 

    I think I dislike poseur metal about as much as I hate house music.
    
    Give me Biohazard anyday.  BTW, Killing Time is playing an all ages
    show at TT's this Sunday....oops, does this belong here?
    
    Lisa

    
    
      These guys really were scraping the bottom of the barrel for 
    these lyrics. "Put a smile on your face 10 miles wide" and the
    childish "you scream, I scream" trash. This is a great song for
    going on the elementary school concert scene. Total BS with
    extreme emphises on the *S*.

    I tell ya some hardcore comments cometh forth from the gallery. If the
    boys wanna pose let'em I say! Let'em pose for  PLaygirl, GQ, OR Mr.
    Rogers all band review if they want too. Ijust want to hear some
    Goooood and Looouuuddd Rock-n-Roll!!!I like their new LP, there are
    some definite raging jams on it like " Uncle Tom's Cabin " and " I Saw
    Red ". I admit that there are a few songs on the lp. that should have
    been trashed, destroyed, or otherwise fed to the almighty trash
    compactor... but hey, thats why they invented the fast forward
    button!!! I don't know, I think if I'd of really stopped listening to
    bands because they posed or played pretty boy for the cameras I'd of
    thrown away my Van Halen albums along time ago and taken up bird
    watching.
    
    
    
                                    Give'em a break ...
    
                                              The "B."
    

    you know I think Warrant is pretty good, pretty boys maybe, but
    have you guys checked out the 'Cherry Pie' video? The music is 
    average at best, but have you noticed the girl they got 
    bouncin' around in the video?. She's that chic from Star Search
    that won a bunch of spokesmodel competitions. Her name is
    Bobby Brown---seriously.   FINE
    
                          OOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE 
                                      led

    
    All this band ever does is metalish ballads it seems. Bah Humbug! How
    boring.
    
    /prc

    Hey saw an article in a mag the other day, turns out the babe in the
    "cherry pie" video, Bobbie Brown, is out and about with one of the fab.
    Nelson brothers!!appparently shes his newest thing... And I bet you he
    got into rock-n-roll for the money...... God I love these fringe
    benifits!!!!!!!!
    
    
    
                                  The "B."

    Christ, now we have the Timmotel triplets!

    
    	I saw the video for "Uncle Tom's Cabin" over the w'end and
    	was reminded that that's a good song too.
    
    	I wish I would have gone to the show at the Channel on Sat-
    	urday night, but I wasn't in the mood for fighting Boston
    	traffic/crowds just to see them.  I'd rather go on a week
    	night, so I have an excuse to take the next day off.
    
    	Now that I'm imagining the hoards of poseur-type ditzy
    	blondes that were there too, I probably should have gone.
    
    							GTI
    

    nothing wrong with poseur type ditzy blondes in minis GTI
    nothing at all

    which reminds me...
    I have to admit... I was really diggin' that song Uncle Tom's
    Cabin when I first heard it on the radio. Then I found out
    Warrant did it, so I immediately decided to hate it.
    
    /Mike...realizing how foolish being so judgemental can be

    
    
    I heard the show was insane... could'nt move an inch, one big
    sweat pit... I'm pissed I missed it! but made up for it and 
    went to the Posion show in Springfield instead...
    
    Jim-

    
    Yeah, what the hell, eh Jim!  Besides, <insert favorite poseur band
    name here> is the same band as <insert another favorite poseur band
    name here> anyway!  Everybody knows that! :')
    
    Mike, no doubt my man! :')
    

    ...did anybody reading this note actually see the show last sat.
    nite.. i'm interested to know how they sounded ........../k.
    

    I caught a blurb with singer Janie Lame last night on eMpTy-V, where
    Jani was bragging about how deep their lyrics are, and  what a cool
    video they just did for Uncle Tom's Cabin.  Well, I'm
    quasi-curious...whats the video like to UTC, and what makes it so
    awesome?!?  Do they all drop down to their knees in unison again?
    ;^)
    
    B.

    
    	The song [and video] is about some kind of a crime commit-
    	ted by policemen, and the covering up of same ... but some
    	kids were hiding near the cabin and saw the whole thing.
    
    	It is a pretty good video ... almost as good as the song.

In an interview to a French Rock magazine, the singer from Warrant said that
their 3rd album will be more "root". He mentioned more bluesy. He also said
they would cover "Eleanor Rigby" (sp?) of the Beatles.

He also said "f##k you" to one of the Black Crows guy that said he wasn't 
inteligent and was not reading anything. He said I'm reading a lot.
That last part sounded pretty immature :-)

Didier  

>He also said "f##k you" to one of the Black Crows guy that said he wasn't 
>inteligent...

    Obviously that was the "intelligent" rebuttal to that sort of
    comment...

    ;^(

    
    >> It is a pretty good video ... almost as good as the song.
    
    That good huh ?

    They won the March Video Maddness with UNCLE TOM"S CABIN on MTV..
    
    The video is really good...

    		wendy o'
    
    

    >          Janie drops to his knees....8*)
    
    Not at all surprising...
    
    I kind of like the song, but I'm already getting sick of hearing it. 
    That's one reason I typically don't like songs with a story, because
    after I hear the story a few times it loses it's listening appeal.
    
    The only exception I can think of is Queensryche's Operation:Mindcrime
    because the story is so complex and I kept hearing things I hadn't
    caught previously even after listening to it for months.  At the same
    time, the story was accessable enough to get the general idea of it
    after just a couple of times through.
    
    "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is pretty obvious the first time through and
    there's really nothing I've noticed to hear in it after that first
    time.  That's boring to me, I prefer lyrics that make me think about
    'em a little.  
    
    Cryptic thought provoking lyrics are cool to me.  But at the same time,
    I can also easily deal with lyrics that are utterly mindless or even
    ones I can't understand (the way they're sung), because for those
    instances I tend to concentrate on the music instead.  Seems to me that
    people that play story songs go out of their way to concentrate your
    attention on the lyrics and many times it means that the rest of the
    song is musically boring, so I can't even ignore the lyrics if I wanted
    to...
    
    gh 

    Did anyone happen to catch them on Arsenio the other night, they played
    " Blind Faith ", ala acoustical. Not bad at all, they actually seemed
    to do justice to it instead of the bang up wiz video they did for it.

    Personally, I don't really like Uncle Tom's Cabin (but Alan knows I
    don't like story songs...).  It's ok, but nothing to write home about. 
    Same goes for pretty much all of the music by Warrent I've heard.  I
    honestly don't understand why they're as popular as they are.

       Fun music!!!

    Speaking of "fun music" Z-rock had a song called "BArney Fife" to the
    tune of CHerry Pie. First time I heard it I hadta pull over cuz I was
    laughing so hard.

    WTF is Barney Fife?!?

    Welp... Went to "POSEFEST 91" last night... 
    
    Overall.. thought it was a GREAT show... 
    
    Sorry Friz... I missed Firehouse...
    
    Trixter was much better than I expected them to be... they still
    looked like a High School band, but overall they were tight and
    sounded great... Its good to hear a band screw up on backup vocals
    every now and again!! 
    
    
    
    Warrant... what can I say, they put on a GREAT show.. I was surprised..
    
    The show was pretty long, lots of talk and stories between songs.. They
    had a Keyboard player that sang some of the backups and also played 
    hamonica.. 
    
    They had some of the usual fireworks.. At the beginning of one of the
    songs (not sure which one) these 6 flames about 20-30 feet tall shot
    out of the floor.. What was funny was it caught one of the micstands
    on fire, about 10 seconds later a rodie came runnin out with a fire
    extinguisher and puts it out!! 	
    
    Near the end of the set Jani Lane came out and sang.. uhh... $hit,
    what was it... one of the ballads... on a little 5'by5' stage in
    the middle of the place, (right where I was sittin..) before he sang
    he asked if 'The Channel' was open tonight, and invited everyone
    down for a drink.. (boy would I have liked to have been the headliner
    that night!!) Then he asked if anyone had a cigerrett, within 5 seconds
    he must'uv had at least 200 butts thrown at him...
    
    At the end of the night they had Trixter and Firehouse come out and 
    sing 'You got the right to Party' by the Beastyboyz....
    
    
    
    Oh ya, he took a shot at Axl... he walked up to the end of the stage
    and said, 'Where's that person I just saw with the camera?!' It was
    funny cuz everyone suddenly got quite and went oooooooooooo... then
    he said "You can take as many pictures as you want of me, I would'uv
    been an accountant or something if I did'nt want my picture taken!"
    Then he bent over and dropped his pants and said "take a picture of
    this!"
    
    
    
    Great show!! very entertaining... 
    
    JW-

     I too went to POSEFEST and thought the night was excellent.
     Firehouse got things going-- Excellent set, very clear sounding.
     Trixter was real good... Warrant kicked....
     Lots of pryo... Very Good Sound... They started off the evening 
    with a song I never heard of and had one other song in the set that 
    was I assume going to be on the new album.. They did We will Rock You 
    also.. Jani was singing Heaven on the 5' by 5' platform in the middle 
    of the pavillion...  Blind faith was done brilliantly...
    Show lacked a little during Train Train but picked up right after
    that..
    
    The title of the tour is Blood Sweat and BEERS... It may also be the
    title of the future album... Jani also challenged someone as a warmup
    to the axl vs. vince fight---- Vanilla Ice...

    ok.....Warrant are crap,nope they're worse than that.They're not fit to
    lick Metallicas' boots.Warrant are talentless,"pretty" boys who know
    more about posing than they do about music,if you can call it that.They
    are bland,unoriginal and yet to do something musically that will make
    me feel like I want to call them a rock band,right now,they're audience
    is made up of prepubecent(sp)girls and people with sad and empty lives.
    
                                                 Staynz
    
    right,now off to rag the hell outta poison.

    Warrant's new album *may* be good (I haven't heard it ...) but the
    previous album was such bubble gum bullsh*t that most folks won't give
    it a chance.  Same with Poison's newest album - I like it a lot because
    it's a good rock and roll album, but, they carry some heavy baggage
    too.

    That's nothing. James Brown and Rev. Al Sharpton are working on an
    album together.

    .167
    
    No, but if the cd wears out before 10 plays...

    -.169  ; James Brown is great but Sharpton???? He's the jesus
    of POSEUR!!!!! I can see it now .....the single will be called-
    
    "Say it loud I'm black and I'm real FAT Too!!!!!!!"
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

    ....so the latest on janie lane and bobbi brown is that Bobbi-baby has
    gained 30 lbs during her pregnancy.......;')......so, the moral of the
    story....boyz...... is that even "trophy wives" gain weight when
    pregnant......................................../k

    
    But i bet she still looks Fantastic... ;'}

    Actually 30lbs during pregnancy is normal, maybe on the low side a
    little.  Most of it goes away within a few weeks of birth.

    Warrant will waste no time in trackng their third album this

    Ridiculous. Warrant should try getting a brain. Didn't they learn from
    watching Crue do Anarchy?
    
    They should stick to their tits and a$$ and begone!

    So sorry, but Janie LAME just canNOT sing like Freddie Mercury!!
                                        
    
    I will 'click' this tune forever more.  Hmmm, maybe I'll just pop in
    the tape of the AWESOME ORIGINAL version when I hjear Janie LAME's
    voice on the radio!!
    

    
    If they knew what the song was about I gaurentee they wouldn't have
    done it.

    Buck....In all your infinite wisdom shed some light as to the meaning
    for us peasants that don't know what the song is about.
    
             Frizkid...8)
    

    
    I think Buck's full explanation is under the Queen topic (if there is
    one)
    
    

      The song is sooooo simple what makes it sooooo special that Warrant
    can't do it right?  I was playing this at basketball games at my
    junior high....
                      Frizkid
    

    I read where Freddie Mercury said he wrote the song as an 'anthem for
    all those who are outcasts of society'.  Then made some corresponding
    analogy to his feelings of oppression as a bisexual man.  Many people
    think it's a sports anthem, but it's closer to a gay anthem, if
    anything.

    
    What Buck says is true, however the song has made a greater inpact on
    the field of Sports more than anything.

    Queen could probably live off the royalties from the sports games...

	Hi guys, 

	Now don't get me wrong, I am *not* sticking up for Warrant,
	and I don't really like them, but I think they deserve a bit
	of a break.  The song 'We Will Rock You' was done for a
	*movie* they were probably asked to do that song specifically
	just for the movie.  Agree it might not be well done, but
	I am not sure they had a choice in regards to 'which' song
	they got to do.  The song is for the movie 'Gladiators (sp?)'

    Sorry, but that is not how it works these days.  The movie people,
    working as cheaply as possible, look for bands who have songs that
    will fit their soundtrack.  Do you think Extreme was asked to write
    Play With Me for Bill & Ted?  NOT!  We Will Rock You was probably
    recorded by Warrant for their next album, and just happened to fit
    into that movie's theme.

	I don't think one song from Extreme can by used for a blanket
	case.  'Ballroom Blitz' was specifically redone for 'Waynes 
	World' which *could* be the case for Warrant as well.
	(I know, now *I* am using a blanket case....)

	Either way, we will never know, and we can't say for sure either
	way.  So, all I am saying is cut them some slack in this case,
	because it *might* be the way I described.

							-Seth

    
    but ballroom blitz was redone by a bunch of nobodies (if i recall the
    recent conversation in here correctly).  nobodies are cheap.  warrant
    only sounds that way.

    I heard that version of "We Will Rock You" by Warrent last weekend and
    thought for sure I was gonna retch on the spot!  THEN I was subjected
    to the BOGUS video for it later that night!  How much can one human
    TAKE?
    
    I HAVE to say...
    
    That is absolutely one of the WORST covers I've heard in AGES!  They
    didn't even play the RIGHT CHORDS, for crying out loud! 
    
    What a load of CRAP!  
    
    AND that "guitar solo" has GOT to be one of the most horrid sections of
    something someone attempted to call "music" which I've heard in recent
    years.  It is completely devoid of taste!  Even *I* could play a better
    solo for that song, first take, cold!!

    Re: Greg
    
    	I agree. It is a most horrid cover.
    
    	question for Buck, what do you think is better Warrant's cover of
    WWRY or 'Tallica's cover of SCC... (I know you didn;t like SCC)

    SCC is far better.  i liked the cover, cuz Metalica arranged it for
    themselves...what I don't like sbout it is the sound...i didn't like
    the mix on that tune, but the arrangement was very cool.
    
    The arrangement, execution, and sound just sux on the Warrant cover

re: Warrant covering Queen

First off, Queen did NOT have to give permission for the song to be covered.
Any band can cover any song, as long as they give proper credit, and pay the
appropriate royalty fees (which I believe is now 6� cents per copy sold).

Secondly, you gotta remember that this song if from a movie soundtrack. First
off, that means that the song must have been recorded and included in the
movie LONG before Freddie Mercury's death - movies are usually produced at
least 6 months in advance of release, sometimes over a year.

Third, the band also has no control over when the song was released - again,
it was part of the movie, and that's the release date. 

FWIW, I haven't even heard it yet. But I just felt someone should stick up
for Warrant, when everyone is blaming them for something that is most likely
far beyond their control....

alan

    O.K. I agree with Alan on the fact that they had no control of the
    release. On the other hand IMOTDCCIDLOALARCTMIFBO(tm) Warrent's version
    inhales bigtime. 
    
    
    IMOTDCCIDLOALARCTM(tm) = In my opinion that doesn't count 'cuz I don't
    look or act like anything remotely close to music in Friz's bigoted
    opinion. 

    re: Alan
    
    You trying to say that Warrent didn't have any control over how badly
    they butchered that poor song?
    
    gh (who could care less about the timing of the release of any of that
        other stuff, but think's that Alan is probably right about that part 
        of it)

re: Greg

>    You trying to say that Warrent didn't have any control over how badly

    HEY HEY KIDS!!!! Warrant stopped by the KILO studios last week and
    did an interview along with playing two of their new tunes.
    
      The song played are called "Machine Gun" and "Bitter Pill".
    
    I think it might surprise a few of you since the tracks have a real
    good "live" feel and Warrant is damn heavy in concert.
    
     Jani said the band was unhappy with the production on the first album
    with Beau Hill because it was too "glossy". Then the first record did
    so well the band was told to use Beau on the second album which they
    were unhappy with also.  This time around they used Micheal Wagner who
    gave them an awesome sound IMHO.
    
          The album should come out sometime in August and will be called
    "DOG EAT DOG".

    Interesting!  Both those albums had a good sound, but both are still
    very glossy.  I think they're very similar to the stuff I think of that
    Beau Hill's done.  I'm surprised they didn't get someone like Bob Rock
    or Mutt Lange for a little more edge while still keeping a commercial
    sound.  Probably too expensive or not available...
    
    But...I thought Nuno claimed to have done all the production for PG?

      Per the Ibanez guitar ad in the latest Guitar World (reprinted w/o
    permission)
    
      "Their new album, "Dog Eat Dog" displays a more serious, more lyrical, 
    more mature side of the band that will definitely impress those who have 
    overlooked Warrant's music because of their overwhelming video presence".
    
       It remains to be seen -
    
    							-B()()M-

    From Metal Edge without permission:
    
     Those expecting another taste of Cherry Pie are in for a surprise
    from WARRANT. The good-time,sex driven,party vibe of that LP has been
    replaced by darker,heavier (In sound and subject) music on the band's
    third album Dog Eat Dog. While there are a couple of "sex songs", Jani
    Lane characterizes the overall style as more toward Uncle Tom's Cabin
    than Cherry Pie. There's no "Heaven", No "Sometimes she cries". The
    ballad have more of a "I saw Red" feel . These include "The Bitter
    Pill", a haunting song with a surprise operatic section--in
    German!--and  "Andy Warhol Was Right" about a disturbed,obsessed fan.
    IN addition to these, "Hole n the Wall" about voyeurism and "April
    2031" about a future wasteland world, show a different side of Warrant
      than heretofore explored. "The band has grown, you get a little
    older,a little wiser, and it reflects in the music" says Jani. Other
    tunes include "Sad Theresa" written in 1885 when Jani was in his old
    band. and "Inside Out" which Warrant played live on the last tour.
    Produced by Micheal Wagner and recorded at Tampa's Morrisound and mixed
    at the Scream in L.A. the album is due out in late July/early August.
    Warrant hopes to hit the road at the same time.

    Jani was in a band in 1885 ?  Too cool !
    
    These guys will be like Poison to the degree that no matter what they
    do, it'll always be compared to past efforts, and therefore, will
    stink.
    
    Sorry if the truth hurts anyone.
    
    Scary

    Skid Row was a slammin' band before ... their follow_up was just a lot
    hotter.  Warrant is, and always will be a gurlie_mahn pre_puber band. 
    There's a niche' for that, and that's cool.  But it's only a dream if
    anyone ever expects them to be an honest heavy metal band.  You can put
    a turbo on a moped, but don't expect it to pull the front wheel off the
    ground ... 8^)
    
    Scary

    
    
     Not that I'm a Warrant fan, and this could hold true for a number
    of bands. but it is possible that a band enters the music scene aimed
    at a certain audience or "niche" as you say, after several albums of
    that type of music the band decides to do something that they either
    always wanted to, and didn't because of one reason or another or
    because of management pressure. Maybe this could be a chance to break
    out of the image that they created for themselves. I would give it a
    chance even though I can't stand some of their other material. just my

    I was listening to the radio on the way into work this morning and
    "Cherry Pie" came on.  Because the Frizmonster's been giving me so much
    excrement lately, I gritted my teeth and listened to the entire thing
    to see if there was *anything* in the song that I liked.
    
    The result...?
                                                      
                                                     
    
    
    I loved it!  It was the best song I've ever heard.
    
                                                      
                                                     
    
    
    *** N O T *** ! ! ! 
    
    
    It still *SUCKED*, and it will ALWAYS SUCK!  It sucked BLUE WHALE,
    dudes!!!!  
    
    But I've learned my lesson, never again will I subject myself to
    Warrant!
    
    gh

    
    	I think it cranks, but even if you don't like the song, you have
    	to admit it's got some great bass in it.
    
    	I can see how people would be turned off by the adolescent nature
    	of the song, but it's still quite listenable.

    Okay... what happened to the note where I said Cherry Pie "sucked that
    blue whales father?"   Someone's been deletin' notes here!
    
    
    FWIW Warrant are being interviewed on WAAF right now, and they admitted
    that Cherry Pie is "bubble gum" music!
    
    They played Machine Gun, and it did absolutely nothing for me.

     When asked why the new album is deticated to Joey Allen(the guitar
    player)..JAni replied "Because I'm sick of people going around saying
    that people in this band don't really play on the albums.  Joey has
    played on every album and if run into that Nuno guy I'll kick his M'Fin 
    @ss for saying that Joey doesn't really play in his clinics.

    I heard that Warrant are shite.  It was true.
    

    
    I also heard it. There's truth in numbers.
    
    

I like Warrant.

    Good call Coop!

    all that matters.

    Nuno would take out the whole of Warrant with his nose!

    the Extreme drummer looks like the sort of guy you would get on a
    building site,laying bricks and shouting rude comments at young ladies.
    Therefore,I wouldn't call him a poofter.

    I think the bassist looks like a mexican white-boy.

    I really didn't pay much attention to such childish lyrics. All I know
    is the bassist is the ony one playing and Gary says:
    
    "Not bad. For a mexican white-boy"
    
    After that, I gag.
    
    

    HE says "Not bad for a paiste-face white boy"!!!
    
    Get you facts straight.......
    
    Btw-The bass player AND the drummer are playing during that time....

    I heard that song "Bitter Pill" last night.
    
    Have to say I thought the over-lappin' vocals was a pretty neat idea.
    Unfortunetly the rest of the song blew. Especially the little
    AeroSmithish type part. Gak.
    
    Sorry Friz, I gave it a shot. 
    
    

    The song is a masterpeice.
    
       Friz
    

    
    Far from a masterpiece.

    to listen to.

    Oh please...What a bunch of grunge propaganda!

    something that sucks worse.

    non-melodic songs full of angst.

     NOT A CHANCE!!! No way...It could double in meaning as a person
    that has no hope in future and can't play for sh*t though.

    Looks like they're rebooking their stadium shows into clubs instead.
    
    This is *just* the kind of thing I was talking about when I started the

    didn't have the financial wherewithall to keep bands like Warrant going

         -< Was starting to think about getting their album...not now >-

    I like "Down Boys", it's kind of a catchy pop type tune.  However I
    heard another of Warrents songs on the radio this weekend and I was NOT
    impressed.  I didn't catch the name of the song, but I swear it sounded
    just like Poison!  The standard lame pop-metal ballad song...really
    weak IMO.

    About the only thing I've seen from these guys that struck me as the
    least bit creative was the guitar art of one of the guitarists guitars.
    
    While most guys in the Guitar mags are talking about things like
    .008 extra light nickel, this guys guitar advertises something
    more on the lines of extra-thin, lubrciated and ribbed.

    that reminds me of an advertisement I saw the Warrant lads in.One of
    them had a BC Rich and a maple/rosewood fretboard.It was very
