We love Warrant. A great band that made some really good music throughout their career.
In a new interview on 80’s Glam Metalcast, Warrant guitarist Joey Allen reflects on “Cherry Pie” 30 years later.
When asked about the album, Joey said:
“We can’t fathom that Cherry Pie is 30 years old. It’s definitely in the top three of our catalogue for me. It was so successful and it had so many great songs on there like ‘Mr. Rainmaker’, ‘Sure Feels Good To Me’, and ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’. The songwriting was killer. The song ‘Cherry Pie’ has a catchy riff, it is what it is. It’s not indicative of what the band’s catalogue is. It’s a lot of fun and there’s no excuses for a hit song!”
When asked whether the band will tour in celebration of the album, he said:
“We got into this business because we love music and we are fans of music. Now our whole goal is to go out there and play and for people to have a good time, and there is nothing about having a good time if you get sick. The most important thing for us is just to wait and see what goes on. Right now we don’t have any large outstanding plans to tour. We definitely are not going go out there and be the first guinea pigs. Cherry Pie turns 30 in September, so hopefully, 2021 will be a good year for us. The most important thing is the health of our fans, our crew, and everyone involved. Could you imagine… you made it through the ’80s, you made it through the ’90s and you go out on tour to celebrate 30 years and you catch a virus and you die?”
