About

Warrant, Los Angeles hair metal pioneers of the late 80s.

Classic albums like Cherry Pie and Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich on vinyl, with tracked prices and rare editions.

Warrant emerged from Hollywood's bustling metal scene in the mid-80s. Founders Erik Turner (guitar) and Jerry Dixon (bass) initially built the band's sound alongside early members before completing the classic lineup with Jani Lane on vocals, Steven Sweet on drums, and Joey Allen on guitar by 1987. Their debut album "Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich" released in 1989 gained double platinum status, followed with equal success by 1990's "Cherry Pie". The band toured extensively with contemporaries like Poison, Cinderella, and Mötley Crüe, solidifying their place in hair metal history.

Vinyl collectors can find multiple pressings of their seminal albums, including original Columbia and CBS releases and modern 180g audiophile editions.
