Warrant's 1992 album "Dog Eat Dog" marked a deliberate — and for many fans, jarring — departure from their established glam metal sound, delving into harder rock territory with less emphasis on ballads. The album features a more raw production and lyrical themes that reflected a band attempting to mature their image and musical output.
- "Dog Eat Dog" was the first Warrant album to feature guitarist Rick Steier, who replaced Joey Allen.
- The album's lead single, "Inside Out," received moderate airplay but failed to capture the mainstream success of previous singles, and the album itself only reached #91 on the Billboard 200.
- Despite the shift in sound, the album was certified gold by the RIAA on November 11, 1992.
Warrant is a hard rock band from Los Angeles, California, best known for their multi-platinum albums and chart-topping power ballads in the late 1980s and early 1990s. "Dog Eat Dog" was released as the band attempted to shift towards a more serious, guitar-driven sound following the massive success of their earlier, more pop-oriented material.
