Talk:Warrant (American band)

What exactly does this mean?
"Heaven" reached #1 in Rolling Stone? Rolling Stone doesn't have a chart. Care to rephrase that? 24.211.211.161 (talk) 05:21, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

HA! I was just about to post the same thing. There is no #1 in Rolling Stone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.100.185.254 (talk) 17:49, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Music Genre
Hi, I've noticed some people calling Warrant a "hair metal" band on the article and the articles related to Warrant. Let me fill you on a little secret guys, hair metal is not a genre, it's an insult. Call it "Glam Metal" instead.Cory pratt

One problem I have with this article is the statement that Warrant experienced their greatest success with the album- Cherry Pie. That is not true. Their first album, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinkin' Rich is their most successful album. Heaven reached #2 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles chart and the source for this is the Billboard Book of Top 40 albums. DRFSR went platinum and peaked at #10 on the 200 albums chart. The ballad, I Saw Red, peaked at #10.

The version that reached the Top 10, was that the acoustic version or the electric version?

 * It CAN be an insult, but only if certain emphasis is put on the term. I've heard plenty of people refer to the genre as hair metal without meaning anything negative. It isn't like the term "mallcore", which is meant to offend/insult someone or something. Cronos12390 05:26, 25 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, it can be an insult when used with emphasis, and it can also be an embracement; e.g., the "Hair Nation", "House of Hair" music programs. However, whether music fans and musicians embrace the label or not is irrelevant. The OP is correct. "Hair Metal" is not a genre of heavy metal music. Non-insulting use of the label has been used more often to describe popular heavy metal music of '80s time period. It's therefore more chronologically descriptive than stylistically descriptive. NWOBHM bands Judas Priest and Iron Maiden have on occasion been often been re-labelled as "hair metal" despite obvious musical differences to most glam metal bands. If "Hair Metal" is a genre, how do we describe it musically? What musical commonalities do Poison, Mötley Crüe, Accept, Def Leppard, and W.A.S.P. share which makes them so similar as to be in the same subgenre? Few if any. -- A.K. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.99.244.96 (talk) 04:49, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Bobby Borg
Bobby Borg is listed on this Wikapedia Page as a drummer in Warrant, on another Wikapedia Page as a drummer in Beggars & Thieves and on another Wikapedia page as the author of The Musicians Handbook, yet Bobby Borg does not have his own Wikapedia page. Bobby Borg is the author of seven Music Business Books and is currently a professor at the Famed Thornton School of Music. Many other people with far fewer credits have their own Wikapedia page, how about carve one out for Bobby Borg. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:BFC0:9:9D3F:E251:6682:A7B4 (talk) 05:08, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
