Always liked warrant even cherry pie that was kinda cheesy…by 1990 this kind of music was getting stale and by summer 91’ it was almost over when grunge took over (Nirvana sept 91)… the grunge stuff was kinda refreshing , but by 94 it was old hat (lasted less then hair metal)…it’s good to hear people are jamming this stuff again and grunge is now known as complaint rock…winger got dogged big time and they were a great band of musicians..there was so many good bands/ songs in the 80’s , even 1 hit wonders, their music was positive, happy and feel good (opposite of alternative/grunge).
I was in a "hair metal" band back in the mid to late 80's called "Tempest", and we opened for Warrant at a club in West Hollywood called (at the time), "Gazzari's". I remember they were just about to get signed to Columbia, I believe, and we were hanging with them upstairs in the dressing rooms just talking girls and music. The were VERY cool and sweet dudes-ALL of them. Jani was a real nut, and had an awesome sense of humor. R.I.P., Mr. Lane. You are missed!
The "Tempest" that was the club band in the movie Martial Law? Performing "Sauza"??? If so, holy shit, I've been trying to find that song or any others for YEARS!!!!!
Huge comeback. Super fun for me: in my guitar cover rotation, I have this song, Cherry Pie and Uncle Tom's Cabin :) Warrant's guitar riffs and bouncy movements thru the measures of their songs are really great to re-discover :) Enjoy the comeback brother!
What a great front man. In my opinion, Jani's voice never changed. He sounded the same at 45 as he did at 25. Thats a rare thing. RIP Jani, i hope you found your peace.
To @WMFNINDY23 concerning silhouettes, por favor, listen to Captain Beefheart and Zoot Horn Rollo's, "Pompadour Swamp". Additionally, may Jani Bane Wane FfFind that "piece" rather than "peace" while HopeFully And Prayerfully, R.esplendent I.n P.rovidence R.I.P. A.M.E.N
I've only started listening to 80s hair metal in recent years. Back in the 80s, I didn't have much money to spend and I was into blues, so what spare cash I had was spent on blues albums, so I missed the hair metal thing (apart from the "Good Dirty Fun" album by Rick Derringer). Now I'm really enjoying the hair metal thing, especially when I'm driving my car. Bands like Dokken, XYZ, Y&T, Krokus, LA Guns, Ratt, Motley Crue, Britany Fox, Cinderella, Roxx Gang, Lynch Mob, Fastway, etc. All easily found on iHeart Radio app. Play it loud Opp Dawg!
Its so sad that he seemed to only think of himself as the cherry pie guy... Although I love that song he seems so sad in one of his latest interviews before he passed away he regretted writing that song. 😭 such incredible talent I guess sometimes their greatest fame is their biggest torture. RIP Jani Lane 🙏💛🎤🎸🎼
@@ShayMichele he totally despised that song from what i hear the record company pretty much forced him to make a song like that and from what i can tell from his reactions it could have been a contributing factor in his death as it caused a ton of depression for him. It pretty much killed his passion for music as he wanted so much more for the band. Maybe if he wasnt so pressured in making Cherry Pie things would have turned out differently.
@@emobassistformallygeddysco3126 that is so sad!!! He was so talented and I like Cherry Pie! It was fun and fit the style of music of that time... I had no idea until I saw that interview from right before his death. 😭 Always a fan !
These guys and Ratt. Great songwriters and musicians. 80's radio rock has caught a lot of disrespect over the years, which is a shame. There is quite a bit of good music and several good bands. Ratt and Warrant being my faves, closely followed by Tesla and Dokken.
Sweet Jani , you had talent and a charisma even you did not understand. Rest in peace dear man. You will always be missed and cherished. This song is pure joy.
I hear you. I had an official MTV Headbanger's Ball t-shirt, and wore that thing so much, it vaporized. They were the glory days of our youth, and great music!
Overexposure & it becoming trendy to hate on it at the time are the only reasons hair metal died out. If this music made a genuine comeback & got airplay nowadays it would be utterly massive, people don’t know how good they had it with this type of music.
My father bought me this album back in 1989. He always did that back in the day...Whitesnake, Alice Cooper and many more. My hero died 5 years ago and everytime i hear Down Boys playing i remember him. Love you, dad.
The sad part is i was in High School at the time and i was Totally into Thrash Metal and hated this stuff, Now as a gahdamn old man i appreciate the fun of it and miss those days so much.
We had the best music of all time Us 80’s kids know what I mean lol We all like fifty now lol But omg I wouldn’t trade my generation for anything especially the music
Damn ! Makes me feel like I'm 20 again!! I'm 50 now but can still fucking rock like the good ole days! One of the few hair bands I loved! Warrant, skid row, slaughter . Brings me back dude!!!
Grunge is crap, depressing and poor músic, comparaded with hair metal early 90's out excellents bands Slik Toxik, Wildside, Von Groove and i can say it more than 30, killed by Nirvana.
They play the music of your generation when you move to a retirement home. Just imagine how many long haired grandpas and broken hips there will be because our generation will have Warrant, Mötley Crüe, Ozzy, Ratt, Scorpions, Skid Row, and all that great 80s music pumped in over the intercom. Shit, if you have Alzheimer’s you might think it’s the 1980s and that you’re at the concert.
Warrant deserves so much more recognition and credit for what they made together. The word underrated gets tossed around so much when talking about older bands from the 80s. But if there is one band thst is truly underrated its warrant without a doubt!!
Me and my college roomie used to have this thing called "Metal Study Hour" in 1989 where we would study from 7pm to 10pm with no music on but from 10pm to 11pm we would play hair metal songs like this one and rock out while doing calculus and physics homework in our dorm room --- man, those were great times!
First time I saw Warrant was in a little club in San Diego about a month before this album dropped. Maybe 30 people in the club. They played it like it was an arena. Just a fantastic show and they didn't seem to care how few people were there. Flash forward several years as grunge is taking over, and again I'm seeing them in a small club. I was having a bad night personally, and Jani saw it and called me out on it during the show. Told me (and everyone else) it was HIS mission to make sure I had a good time. After the show he came and found me and talked a bit. Just a seriously down to earth guy. Very sad that he's gone. He didn't deserve the exit he received.
I remember when this song came out. In my teens then. I feel so old and would truly go back to 80s if I could. The crap they call music today cannot hold a candle to the talent of the 80s. I remember as a kid thinking my parents were so lame listening to Frank Sinatra and stuff like that, now my son thinks the same about me. Crazy.
The difference between today's music and the 80s doesn't have the wide difference that existed between 70s music and the generation before it (i.e., Frank Sinatra). Shouldn't be a big stretch for today's kids to appreciate Warrant. Some kids today are just narrow-minded little assholes.
Well a lot of today's music (One Direction) copies bands from the 80's, and 80's bands copied a lot from the 70's. This song was heavily inspired by "Bye Bye Love" from The Cars. Even the 90's bands from the Grunge era had their influences. King's X invented Grunge but nobody's heard of them. Except for all the Grunge bands that copied them.
The way the street light silhouettes your thighs inside your dress.....one of greatest lines ever written and sung in the whole history of rock n roll imo😮 the best🎉Goat level
exactly they did it all to get the chicks and it worked! How many chicks do get these lame indie bands with soy drinking beta males or these extreme metal mouth breathers with no harmony
I wasn't born in the 80's yet but it must have been a great decade! I'm 20 years old but I prefer 80's rock over the current electric crap. I'm writing 80's rock myself. I play and record everything, I just don't have professionell equipment, that's why the sound is not perfect. Here's the youtube link to my new song. Not doing this for likes, so don't give me likes but I'm happy for any (ANY) kind of feedback, just in case somebody is interested:) ruclips.net/video/kqcBnJXSiGg/видео.html
Just saw Warrant last week and they put on a great show. Down Boys was the 2nd song they played. Them along with Bret Michaels took us back to the late 1980s and 1990s very quickly!!
Grunge music could never match the awesomeness of hair metal. Never forget that metal existed before grunge and continued to exist after grunge. I'm glad I got to live this era
It still makes me angry that "I'm so depressed, I want to shoot myself" grunge garbage ruined the music I grew up with. People can call it cheesy, over the top etc but it was FUN.
This song makes me feel so HAPPY and so SAD at the same time. I love it so much, and yet it is a reminder of my lost youth, and how I'll never be young again.
Warrant was and still is one of the best rock groups ever. I was in my teens when I first listen to them and at times still do. Boy, I miss the 80's! I remember getting together with rock fans every Saturday night turning on the head banger balls that is when MTV meant something but now it's pure junk.
If Jani had him an intervention, and it worked, this man would have been an even bigger Rock and Roll Giant. Wrote some real Compelling tunes. Miss him and Kevin Debrow, Randy Rhodes, Ratt’s Crosby. Southern California’s Rock and Roll supermen!
Man, back then people used to start bands when they could sing. Nowadays, they run to some casting show hoping to make it big. Where have the good times gone?
What a decade, there is never gonna be another one like it,I'm glad to have been a teenager then, r.i.p Jani you should still be here rocking, what a voice, the guys in warrant didn't attend his funeral, they were bitter about money
I willnever stop loving Warrant, this song is one of their greatest, most of them, RIP Jani Layne, you left us with more to give of yourself! Terri Leckner, Montreal
You know whats funny. Back in the 80's, I used to wonder why older people stuck with their music and didn't evolve. I was living and enjoying Hair Band music when all of a sudden, Nirvana and grundge music hit the scene and BAM, I instantly become one of those old codgers that got stuck in the music of his teenage years. Not once did I buy one CD of grundge bands, yet, I had probably 75 CD's of Big Hair and regular rock Bands. yeah, I occassionly liked a song here in there like Glycerine from Bush(oops, I did buy that CD), but, for the most part, my jammin days to new bands came to an end. lol
Weird I'm probably around the same age as you (late 40s), and absolutely loved metal from the early to late 80s. Then it started getting stale with the influx of sub par hair bands in the late 80s and very early 90s (Winger, Poison etc). I totally embraced grunge and alternative rock when it broke (as long as it was hard and guitar oriented aka Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots etc). I saw it as a much needed breath of fresh air to the rock scene. Then around 1996 when rap and pop started taking over I totally gave up and now listen to music almost exclusively from the late 60s through the mid 90s.
If you like this, listen to Uncle Tom's Cabin, I feel was their best song. A house shaker. I loved being a teen throughout the 80's , and young man in that era, life was so different than today. Peace......
Joey Allen...always thought he was so underrated. Got to see Warrant 7 times over the years. They never failed to deliver. And Jani mooned the crowd at every show.
Jani Lane was very underrated... great talent... great voice,multi-instrumentalist and good song writer... Unfortunately, Warrant came (88-89) during the time grudge rock started to takeover around 91... Thanks for the great music Jani......RIP brotha
Partied with em round 94 i think!!! it was a fuzzy memory but Jani n Eric were extremely cool cats n im honored to have had that experience!!! May the man rest in gods peace in paradise!!!!❤
35 years ago this song came out …Where has time gone ? I’m 61 and still rocking the 80’s
That's how it SHOULD BE
Most stuff NOW... SUCKS 😂😂😂

"Got a lot of nerve to call me cheap, even though it's true." I swear, one of my favorite lines from any song ever.
Say what ya want about 80's and early 90's hair Metal/rock but there were some kick ass bands and a killer upbeat vibe that has never been matched .

We had the best music of all time
Us 80’s kids know what I mean lol
We all like fifty now lol
But omg I wouldn’t trade my generation for anything especially the music
I was born in June of 1977. Love it that I was just old enough to love/appreciate 1980s rock and roll. Great music. Timeless.
1978 here. Love 80s music. Though Warrant falls into early 90s as well.
You got that shit right they'll never understand or know
Agree 100% Best decade and most kick-ass music ever.
Born 1967, totally agree!!
Its just a little bizarre that music I loved as a 12 year old still rocks so freaking hard.
I’m a 20 year old woman and I love glam metal. Warrant are one of my fav bands… love Jani 😍😍

The synchronized drop to their knees while headbanging is Epic..
very cheesy but in an awesome kind of way..
They took The Cars "Bye Bye Love" and sprinkled some cheese on it.
IMO they're copying what Judas Priest guitarists KK Downing and Glen Tipton used to do.
Lol it is so freakin epic .. I remember listening to this on the MTV rotation right after I got home from school.

Warrant is one of my all time favorite bands from the 80s. Jani Lane really was a talented songwriter and performer.
Went to see them in 1991 Houston, Tx. Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. Cherry Pie tour. Trixter opened for them followed by Firehouse. Was amazing.
Just saw Warrant last week and they put on a great show. Down Boys was the 2nd song they played. Them along with Bret Michaels took us back to the late 1980s and 1990s very quickly!!
Warrant vocalist JANI LANE R.I.P. (ROCKING IN PEACE!!)
Grunge music could never match the awesomeness of hair metal. Never forget that metal existed before grunge and continued to exist after grunge. I'm glad I got to live this era
It still makes me angry that "I'm so depressed, I want to shoot myself" grunge garbage ruined the music I grew up with. People can call it cheesy, over the top etc but it was FUN.
Amen
This song makes me feel so HAPPY and so SAD at the same time. I love it so much, and yet it is a reminder of my lost youth, and how I'll never be young again.
Hang in there, many of us feel the same.
It's brutal
2023 Still Rocking 🎸🥁‼️
I’m so sad I missed the good ole days. Might not have been alive back then, but I definitely still appreciate the music 😭🖤
We had alotta fun
Yes we did
Warrant was and still is one of the best rock groups ever. I was in my teens when I first listen to them and at times still do. Boy, I miss the 80's! I remember getting together with rock fans every Saturday night turning on the head banger balls that is when MTV meant something but now it's pure junk.
I saw them twice, but my favorite was during the Cherry Pie tour in Long Beach Arena. Floor seats about five rows away. Never forget. RIP Jani Lane.
Nice! I saw Journey live at the same arena.
I remember listening to this on the MTV rotation right after I got home from school. Such a kick ass groove .. When rock was fun .
i don't remember this one, but "heaven" i certainly do
If Jani had him an intervention, and it worked, this man would have been an even bigger Rock and Roll Giant. Wrote some real Compelling tunes. Miss him and Kevin Debrow, Randy Rhodes, Ratt’s Crosby. Southern California’s Rock and Roll supermen!
Bands like this are the reason I picked up an instrument in the first place!
And why I picked it back up a few years ago.
Man, back then people used to start bands when they could sing. Nowadays, they run to some casting show hoping to make it big. Where have the good times gone?
love warrant, they are one of my favorite bands from the sad the music industry lost onther one r.i.p jani lane
Lisa Mercey can't stop listening to jani Lane(RIP,)my Hope to stay alive🙋
What a decade, there is never gonna be another one like it,I'm glad to have been a teenager then, r.i.p Jani you should still be here rocking, what a voice, the guys in warrant didn't attend his funeral, they were bitter about money
80's were awesome. I'm 55 now and still rock out to those bands sometimes.👍
@@dlbarney2 Same here. Still listen to Ratt all the time & freaked when I heard a Ratt song on Cobra Kai.
What a great band and singer. So miss these times
People want this kind of music look how good the stadium tour did
I liked this kickass band when they came out,still rocking to them to this day!!!!! THEY ROCK!!!!!
At 53 and still rockin to this shit!!! ✌🏼✌🏼👍🏼
Me too! My favorite song from them!
Very underrated band when in fact they kick ass!!!!
One of the first two CD's I ever bought, Warrant and Firehouse
His voice is so pure!!!!!
This is the era of tunes I want to go back to!!!!
Nothing better than music from the 80s
Long live the true musicians
I willnever stop loving Warrant, this song is one of their greatest, most of them, RIP Jani Layne, you left us with more to give of yourself! Terri Leckner, Montreal
Jani Lane was truly the heart and soul of Warrant.
Javier Ramirez heavenly righteous
AMEN
Absolutely.
@Berndt Öferring definitely
Duh
Saw these guys a few times in the 80s.....they opened for some kick ass bands..... always held their own.... love this song....
the synchronicity and head banging was just a small part of what we love so much ;)
RIP, Jani you’re the best!
one of my favorite Warrant songs, man that singer could sing
You know whats funny. Back in the 80's, I used to wonder why older people stuck with their music and didn't evolve. I was living and enjoying Hair Band music when all of a sudden, Nirvana and grundge music hit the scene and BAM, I instantly become one of those old codgers that got stuck in the music of his teenage years. Not once did I buy one CD of grundge bands, yet, I had probably 75 CD's of Big Hair and regular rock Bands. yeah, I occassionly liked a song here in there like Glycerine from Bush(oops, I did buy that CD), but, for the most part, my jammin days to new bands came to an end. lol
Circle of life huh
Weird I'm probably around the same age as you (late 40s), and absolutely loved metal from the early to late 80s. Then it started getting stale with the influx of sub par hair bands in the late 80s and very early 90s (Winger, Poison etc). I totally embraced grunge and alternative rock when it broke (as long as it was hard and guitar oriented aka Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots etc). I saw it as a much needed breath of fresh air to the rock scene. Then around 1996 when rap and pop started taking over I totally gave up and now listen to music almost exclusively from the late 60s through the mid 90s.
And now I long for the days of Winger and Poison, hella better than the crap that passes for music these days lol.
Preach it...you are so right.
It doesn't matter how old we get...
Good music has no expiration date.
The 80's and 90's was the best age of rock 🎸 👌
1979 wasn't too bad either.
And the 70s
Sweetest music ever
once upon a time there was great music
I heard this and was totally blown away. What a killer tune.
If you like this, listen to Uncle Tom's Cabin, I feel was their best song. A house shaker. I loved being a teen throughout the 80's , and young man in that era, life was so different than today. Peace......
Awesome tune from the late 80's.
One of the best voices ever
I got to see Warrant in 2007 at an outside concert in little old Twin Falls Idaho with Firehouse and LA Guns. 🤘
Great Vibe to this Song. And it brings back good Memories
RIP Jani. Sure do miss the 80’s. Better than this CRAP being played today
Truer words were never spoken!...well said!
Seen warrent at riverfront park in little rock Arkansas.❤❤❤
My first concert warrant opened for poison 1990....still two of my favorite bands.
I'd have loved to see Ratt around that time. They were my favorite band back then.
Joey Allen...always thought he was so underrated. Got to see Warrant 7 times over the years. They never failed to deliver. And Jani mooned the crowd at every show.
Jani Lane was very underrated... great talent... great voice,multi-instrumentalist and good song writer... Unfortunately, Warrant came (88-89) during the time grudge rock started to takeover around 91... Thanks for the great music Jani......RIP brotha
Partied with em round 94 i think!!! it was a fuzzy memory but Jani n Eric were extremely cool cats n im honored to have had that experience!!! May the man rest in gods peace in paradise!!!!❤
I have this album on vinyl bought in 1989 when I was 23 years old. Good memories.
RIP Jani. You were, are and will be the best ever.
I got to see them in '89 open for Crue on their D.R.F.S.R. tour...so sad about Jani...a voice gone too soon
