Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, the debut album from Hollywood glam metal band Warrant, came out on Columbia with Beau Hill producing, and it put them in the national spotlight straight out of the gate. Jani Lane wrote the words and sang them with a wink, Erik Turner and Joey Allen split the guitars, and Jerry Dixon and Steven Sweet kept the bottom end bouncing: a lineup built for hairspray, big hooks and bigger choruses.
"Down Boys" and "Big Talk" swagger, but it was "Heaven" that did the heavy lifting, climbing to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, with "Sometimes She Cries" following it into the top 20. The album itself reached the top 10 and went double platinum. Even the sleeve had something to say: a Mark Ryden painting of a business psychopath.
