Cherry Pie: The Emergency Solo by CC DeVille

CC DeVille from Poison was brought in to play the guitar solo on the song 'Cherry Pie' for the Warrant album. This decision was influenced by the band's desire to secure a slot on the Poison tour. Despite differences in approach and style, CC's solo was carefully edited by the producer, transforming various takes to create the final solo heard on the hit song 'Cherry Pie'.
