A little more than a year has passed since Warrant
released their comeback album 'Born Again' and now they are
ready with the DVD to go with it: 'Born Again: DVD' with the
subtitle 'Delvis Video Diaries'.
To me and to most others I
guess, Warrant was one of the frontrunners of the
immensely popular hard rock scene in the late 80's and early
90's with one hit single after another, who doesn't remember the
cheesy song and video for "Cherry Pie"? Time did however catch
up with them and the scene and they disappeared off the face of
the earth like so many other hard rock/ glam rock bands did in
the mid-90's.
This DVD features the complete
'Born Again' album mostly played live on stage in front of no
audience with small clips incorporated to spice things a bit up,
the exception being "Angels", which features live footage. As
well as some tour outtakes called 'Mini Monster' (You gotta be
bullshitting me), a cool report from the recording of 'Born
Again and the mandatory slideshow. It is apparent that the band
- Joey Allen (Lead guitars), Erik
Turner (Rhythm guitars), Jerry Dixon (Bass) and Steven Sweet
(Drums) - has been together for a very long time, and new
vocalist Jaime St. James (ex-Black 'n' Blue) proves to be a good
replacement for Jani Lane.
I like the idea of playing the new
album from start to finish, but wish they would have packed some
oldies on here as well... after all that's what made them and
what people remembers them for. I do like this DVD a little bit
better than the album because of the extras, but this it
strictly for fans only.
