he absolutely hated being known as the "Cherry Pie Guy"
Warrants Label said the "Uncle Tom's Cabin" album (now known as Cherry Pie) didn't have a hit single, so he wrote Cherry Pie as a joke.
He's been battling that and his other addictions for a while.  RIP

loved that video tho  ;D

Metallica's "Black" album soon after signified the death of "hair metal".
I cant believe its been 20 years since that came out. 
I went to that show as a guest of Lars' dad, Torbin.  8)

Respectfully, I think Nirvana's 'Nevermind' (released a year later in 1991) did more to kill hair metal than anything Metallica ever produced.

47 is NOT old. I don't know...writing a "crap" song that makes you a lot of money, gets you girls , fame etc really isn't such a hard thing to live with considering the options. There are far worse things to have to endure and shoulder for a lifetime IMO.

Yeah he had fame and such but if you read a biography about him, he taught himself to play drums, guitar, and piano.

I'm sure any royalties from that song are going to the members of Queen and David Bowie.

Seen a thing on Rob Van Winkle (vanilla ice) not long ago he released 7 versions of the tune. He now owns several companies ranging from construction to movie and music production. Seems that financially he is doing very well

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

I am not sure what you are getting at here? I never said anything bad about the guy. He had issues and they caused his death. Seems to me, the exact same thing happened to hendrix, joplin, and others.
I just posted it so people could read it.
