this article is FAR from complete.
the earliest warrant line-up that i am familiar with is: adam shore-lead vocals josh lewis-guitar erik turner-guitar ?-bass max asher-drums
i don't know who the bassist was. that bassist was replaced by jerry dixon.
then adam shore was replaced by jani lane, josh lewis was replaced by joey allen, and max asher was replaced by steven sweet (steven chamberlin).
the adam shore-josh lewis-erik turner-jerry dixon-max asher line-up recorded demos.
before warrant jani lane and steven sweet were in the band plain jane, which also recorded demos. several plain jane songs later became warrant songs.
well, this is just the tip of the iceburg of what needs to be added, but it's a start.
update: since posting above, i have made a minor contribution to the article.
i've now made quite a few more contributions to the article. Gringo300 22:18, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 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?
