Sorry to hear that, it was obvious on celebrity fit club that he had other issues than his weight (he wasn't even that fat), still seemed like a very nice guy who couldn't get past the big rise and fall of the music industry.

They were big for a few years then Grunge took over. That was when I quit listening to Rock.

I guess he found out that Heaven really isn't too far away.

Considering that song is over 20 years old it was kinda far away.

The girl I carpool with and her friends new him and they met up a few times after his concerts( years after his big time)..... All agreed he was a fun and great guy(no funny business happened...just a good time).....they are going to be pretty upset about this.

I liked Cherry Pie and Heaven...but pretty much everyone did, whether they admit it or not.

One of his former bandmates, Billy Morris, still does a lot of stuff in the Cleveland area and is kind of a local music legend. A lot of the music came across as cheesy but it was just fun stuff....good times, the hair metal days.

Not a bad song on Cherry Pie. I loved the song Uncle Tom's Cabin.

I remember them playing Where the Down Boys Go on Rock-n-Rollergames back in the day. That show kicked ass.

Liked Down boys and Uncle Tom's Cabin. Warrant as well as all the other Hair Metal Bands met their doom when grunge took over.
