Killing songs: <i>the covers and the two new studio tracks </i>
Warrant are still alive and rockin. Hey, I' m really
glad, 'cause I really like these guys !!!!!! Do you remember
songs like Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, Heaven,
Sometimes She Cries, Cherry Pie or 32 Pennies ???
Yes it's all from Warrant, it tastes good and it's
refreshing (it's written on the cover: quality you can taste)...
The band was pretty big in the USA with their first albums
D.R.F.S.R. in 1988 and Cherry Pie in 1990.
They rock as bands like Mötley Crüe, Ratt,
Poison or L.A. Guns.
The lineup has changed a bit since the 80's: Jani Lane,
Erik Turner and Jerry Dixon are still there and you have
Mike Fasano and Billy Morris as new members. It looks like
the spirit from the start is still there.
Old school Rock'n' Roll this is what it is about. By the
way Under The Influence is also a title from a Status
Quo album. I am only telling you this, because you got
in this CD covers from old timers like Aerosmith,
Thin Lizzy, Nazareth, Queen, Cheap
Trick, AC/DC and the Beatles.
Only good stuff from the 70's and 80's I used to listen
to when I was a kid. At last but not at least: there are
two great new Warrant studio tracks which are so damn pretty
good (should be against the law)... By the way as a big
Warrant fan I was sure that Jani was a fan from Phil
Lynott (rip) from Thin Lizzy and of course from the
Beatles : Penny Lane and Jani Lane are pretty
close, no ???
I remember Warrant also covering We Will Rock
You (Queen) which was quite a thing. Great bands covered
by a great band: a big thank you. Warrant rules..
