Warrant and Bulletboys

Warrant, a pop-metal band from Los Angeles, formed in 1984. They gained fame with double-platinum albums and hits like "Heaven" and "Cherry Pie." The band faced lineup changes but remained active, even after the death of iconic frontman Jani Lane. Notable releases include Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich and Cherry Pie, both featuring Top Ten singles. Warrant also collaborated with Jamie St. James and Rob Mason throughout their evolving career.

Bulletboys, hailing from Los Angeles, blended glam metal and hard rock, founding in 1987 with Marq Torien. Known for hits like "Smooth Up in Ya," they achieved success with their gold-selling debut. Influences like Van Halen shaped their style. Despite a disband in 1998, they found late-career success with "Elefante" and "From Out of the Skies" led by Torien. Collaborations include ex-King Cobra, Ratt members, and Sebastian Bach. A notable box set of their Warner Bros. era was released in 2021.
