Warrant

The genre was more than hits and filler.

Warrant's second album defied the sophomore jinx, but there would be a larger price to pay later on.

Many of the scene's biggest bands caught lightning in a bottle on their first try.

Sometimes, the rockers could play nice.

Joey Allen admits the lack of excitement is a "bitter pill to swallow."

He paid the party-rockers to record a demo for his Paisley Park Records.

Notorious it may be, but the clip helped the band reach its height.

But it's not the 'Cherry Pie' track you might expect.

Warrant, Winger, and Dokken will be playing at the Freeborn County Fair in 2018

On Aug. 11, 2011, Jani Lane of the band Warrant was discovered dead in a hotel in Woodland Hills, California.
