Everybody is a pretentious twat at some point.

Allright, I finally got a chance to sit down and listen to this.
Aside from that cheesy sounding part that starts at 4:40, it was allright. I'm not going to rush out and buy their album, but it had it's bright spots. For a moment, I thought the singer sounded like the original singer of the metal band Helion Prime, but turns out it wasn't her.

Just an average day for you, huh? ;)
Okay. Glad you didn't hate it at least. I'll hit you with a few more, you might like 'em, you might not. Hard to say. But these are some of my favourites. One is prog metal (see if you can guess which)...
Pendragon - "It's Only Me" - Pure

Threshold - "The Mystery Show" - For the Journey

Marillion - "Emerald Lies" - Fugazi

Jadis - "What Kind of Reason" - Fanatic
and some classics:

It's a shame image and perception keeps them as a memory now. I play them for the new generation sometimes and people are always like 'wow, this band is really good'. A month ago I was at Walmart and someone was BLARING "Shake Me" out of their vehicle. It was a nice change from the usual country and rap that Walmart shoppers seem to thrive on. The debut and Long Cold Winter are stand outs for me. Also Heartbreak Station is a solid and perfectly legitimate classic rock record, somewhere between Creedence and Nazareth. Nothing hair metal about this one. In fact had it been released in, say, 1975 it would be considered an all-time classic by now. They were more of an Aerosmith style hard rock band than a hair metal band. Cinderella are a solid METAL band. I don't think one can much underestimate the damage they did themselves with that name. They weren't about to get taken seriously as a gritty rock band with a girly name.

Jani Lane has said that he hates Cherry Pie...now I like the song. Really I do. I can see where it would bug him. In his words being known as the "Cherry Pie Guy". It was/still is a glam/hair band/ metal classic !!!. The video maybe got overplayed on MTV ....but so what? It always made me smile. Jani Lane did a lot of great work that went completely under the radar in the post-Cherry Pie era of his life. There are some individual tracks on Warrant albums ("The Bitter Pill", "Stronger Now"), a really cool solo album, "Back Down To One", a band called Saints Of The Underground who made a really strong rock album.

There's also some solo stuff he called "Jabberwocky". He really was a talented guy. I always respected him. Jani was a great songwriter and I've always found the Cherry Pie album to be one of the brighter spots of the late-80s/early-90s "hair metal" genre. I LIKE "Cherry Pie". It's a fun song. So, all the haters can suck it!! Out of all of the third wave "hair" bands that came out in late 80s, I think Warrant is the most underrated. So many great tunes -- Bed Of Roses, 32 Pennies, Andy Warhol Was Right, Quicksand, Song And Dance Man, Ultraphobic, Stronger Now, etc, etc. "Heaven" really does bring me back to the summer of 1989 and that was a great summer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNoJ9YHtqq0

She's my cherry pie, put another dollar on the jukebox baby.

I am mocked here for my love of 'hair bands', when in reality back in 1992 there was very little difference between a band like Skid Row and a band like Alice in Chains (esp. given AIC's roots). And Pearl Jam's guitarists were avowed Aerosmith fanatics. If we dispense with labels, and we just talk about the bands, it is amazing what commonality could be found instead of the constant belittling of supposedly passe' genres. The first line of the guitar solo in "Alive" at 3:39 is Ace Frehley's first line in the "She" solo on Kiss Alive at 3:00.

Great, now you're jumping ship to join Nick1976.

Nah mate, you're mocked because you talk to nobody. You talk AT people, reaming off walls of text that say nothing new, and you continue to ignore any and all posts directed at you. You don't engage with people, you don't debate. You just repeat the same things over and over like a kid with his fingers stuck in his ears.

You are mocked, but it's important that you understand why.
