UNCLE TOM'S CABIN
i know we're all suppose to think that CHERRY PIE is cheasy hair hair metal, but this song was huge so everyone didn't hate it then. is the best song warrant managed to do. this is 80's music at it's best. good ahead listen to it.


Great price & fast shipping!
The price was just right on this CD! Product in great condition & shipping was fast!.


Cherry pie, sure feels good to me!
In life and in music! =)) I don't care how much this album has been smashed, bashed and insulted. Sorry guys, I love Cherry Pie. I love it. It's a fantastic fun rock album, with great songwriting. Uncle Tom's Cabin, Sure feels Good To me, Blind Faith, Love in Stereo, Mr Rainmaker are all exceptional example of great melodic metal. Great great songs. GREAT. Even the title track is a strong example of anthemic american AOR or melodic metal, or how you want to call it. It's a song about having fun, about having sex and fun, what's wrong with that? It didn't pretend to be something else, a deep intellectual statement about society or about the meaning of life. It's fun, pure fun, with a Killer riff and a killer chorus. Terrific! A great melody that stucks in your head and never goes away! I still love the song almost twenty years after I listened to it for the first time. All the ballads, Isaw Red and Bed of roses are beautiful power ballads, synonimus of the era. Jane Lane was a really good songwriter in the hair metal genre and even beyond. He was a long haired guy, so what? Should I judge the music by his hairdos or looking at his boots or at his attitude? I don't think so! I let music do the talking! This album is better than the first one DRFSR and both went platinum. Believe me, you don't go platinum easily. It means that in a particular moment you meant something to a lot of people, that you succeded in representing an era, a moment, a style, a concept. Hair metal was about having fun, loving beautiful girls, having a macho attitude, being young and energetic, good guitar playing, fantastic riffs and tender power ballads. There's nothing wrong with this! I still love this style of music today, I find it very beautiful, musically strong and funny and I'm a Jazz guitar player! I love hair metal, noone will ever make me change my mind about that! Cherry Pie is a fantastic, loud and proud hair metal album with strong melodic hooks and great rockin' riffs! Thanxs Warrant! .


My second CD
It's great for keeping up a good beat when you want to exercise. I loved the first one I bought years ago and this is just a replacement. The music is great anytime but be sure and put your speed control on when you're in the car.


Laugh if you want, but it's a better album than you think
A lot of that backlash had to come from the title track and video to the band's 1990 album Cherry Pie, a big obnoxious innuendo-laden song about. It's amazing how quickly Warrant went from being platinum selling megastars to the poster boys for everything that was suddenly wrong about the hair metal scene, but that's just what happened in the early 90's. . . well, I'm sure you can figure it out. That song came to symbolize the hair metal scene's lack of originality and real meaning, paving the way for Nirvana and friends to clean house.

I think it's unfair to write the scene, band, and album off based on one song though. Sure, it's probably my least favorite Warrant song, but the rest of the album is surprisingly strong melodic rock. Check out the monster guitar hooks on Uncle Tom's Cabin or the power ballad perfection of I Saw Red and Blind Faith. Bed of Roses is a great melodic track, and Song and Dance Man, Mr. Rainmaker and the cover of Blackfoot's Train, Train give the album a dose of Southern swagger. Really, aside from the title track and the closing expletive-fest "Ode to Tipper Gore", Cherry Pie is a remarkably strong album, and one that doesn't deserve the reputation it has since picked up.

If you're dead set against the hair metal era, nothing I say will convince you otherwise. Those of us that grew up with bands like Warrant know a fun rock album when we hear it, and Cherry Pie definitely qualifies.

NOTE: The 2004 reissue of Cherry Pie features digitally remastered sound and a pair of bonus demo tracks - Game of War and The Power, the latter of which appeared on the soundtrack to the 1992 boxing movie Gladiator: Music From The Motion Picture (1992 Film). It's a shame they couldn't have added the cover of Queen's We Will Rock You from that same soundtrack. The remastering alone makes it worthwhile to replace your old version, but the bonus tracks are pretty good too.
