The big hits can be a trap. It’s worse if it’s a song they don’t like.
Warrant and “Cherry Pie”, is a classic case. They hated that song, but they were forced to do it.
Yeah, and well they should, that song’s terrible ;) There’s so many of these stories. It’s amazing how often the artist doesn’t like the big hit. Sometimes from the get. But eventually even if they like it to start 10, 15 years later, most artists get pretty tired of the every freaking night song.
