It was/still is a glam/hair band/ metal classic !!!. The video maybe got overplayed on MTV ....but so what? It always made me smile. Jani Lane did a lot of great work that went completely under the radar in the post-Cherry Pie era of his life. There are some individual tracks on Warrant albums ("The Bitter Pill", "Stronger Now"), a really cool solo album, "Back Down To One", a band called Saints Of The Underground who made a really strong rock album.

There's also some solo stuff he called "Jabberwocky". He really was a talented guy. I always respected him. Jani was a great songwriter and I've always found the Cherry Pie album to be one of the brighter spots of the late-80s/early-90s "hair metal" genre. I LIKE "Cherry Pie". It's a fun song. So, all the haters can suck it!! Out of all of the third wave "hair" bands that came out in late 80s, I think Warrant is the most underrated. So many great tunes -- Bed Of Roses, 32 Pennies, Andy Warhol Was Right, Quicksand, Song And Dance Man, Ultraphobic, Stronger Now, etc, etc. "Heaven" really does bring me back to the summer of 1989 and that was a great summer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNoJ9YHtqq0

Nah, E'nuff Z'Nuff was the most underrated third wave "hair" band. They weren't even really a hair band, but were labelled as such due to their fashion. They were really an awesome power pop band in the tradition of Cheap Trick and the Raspberries with just a touch of glam. Far better than Warrant, that's for sure, and I like Warrant.

I am mocked here for my love of 'hair bands', when in reality back in 1992 there was very little difference between a band like Skid Row and a band like Alice in Chains (esp. given AIC's roots). And Pearl Jam's guitarists were avowed Aerosmith fanatics. If we dispense with labels, and we just talk about the bands, it is amazing what commonality could be found instead of the constant belittling of supposedly passe' genres. The first line of the guitar solo in "Alive" at 3:39 is Ace Frehley's first line in the "She" solo on Kiss Alive at 3:00.

You really can't tell the difference between this and Skid Row? Wow.

Yes, I could tell the difference between Skid Row and Alice in Chains, however I couldn't tell the difference between Skid Row and Guns N' Roses.
Take a blind fold challenge and seriously ask yourself:
Is this Guns N' Roses or Skid Row?

I just remembered an interview that Peter Gabriel did and he was asked what other vocalists he thought were good. He actually replied that guy from Enuff z Nuff. I thought that was pretty cool. He is a pretty cool singer with an incredible voice. They were frequent guest on Howard Stern..... and he always asked them to play at least one Beatles song each time they visited. Power Pop styled band, who never quite made it as big as they should have - mostly due to the poor choices at management and their first record label (Atco) to promote them more as a glam metal band. Granted, it worked initially, getting them air time on MTV and radio with their self-titled debut album in 1989, but that same image quickly backfired on them by the time their sophomore album, Strength, was released in '91, and grunge music was on the rise. After that, the band continued to release great albums, despite record label and lineup changes, and deaths (due to drug overdoses and cancer). They could just never seem to catch a break.

Alice in Chains (Alice N Chainz, in fact) was most certainly a glam rock band before Jerry arrived.
