'''''Dog Eat Dog''''' is the third studio album by American [[glam metal]] band [[Warrant (American band)|Warrant]]. It was released on August 25, 1992, on the Columbia label of [[Sony Music]], and was their final album for the label. The album peaked at number 25 on [[The Billboard 200]].<ref>{{cite web|url = {{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p5790|pure_url=yes}}|title = Allmusic (Warrant charts & awards) Billboard albums|publisher=}}</ref> It is also the last album to feature all five original members, as Joey Allen and Steven Sweet both left the band in 1994, but returned in 2004.
==Production and marketing==
Warrant began recording bass and drums for ''Dog Eat Dog'' in [[Los Angeles
Apparently conscious of the widely circulated rumour that
Shortly after the release of the album, Lane discovered that a large, framed poster of Warrant had been removed from the foyer in Columbia Records in Los Angeles and replaced with a poster of the label's newest signed act, [[Seattle]] band [[Alice in Chains]]. It was at this moment, according to Lane, that he realized that "the proverbial writing [was] on the wall" for the band. In the absence of support from the band's label, limited airplay from either radio or MTV, and with no budget for a major tour to support the record, sales of the album were sluggish compared to the first two albums. Nevertheless, ''Dog Eat Dog'' eventually achieved "gold" status in the United States<ref name=riaa/> and was regarded by critics as Warrant's strongest record.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Warrant-regroups-works-its-way-back-68392.php|title=Warrant regroups, works its way back|date=2 September 2004 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://crypticrock.com/warrant-dog-eat-dog-25-years-later/|title=WARRANT – DOG EAT DOG 25 YEARS LATER|date=28 August 2017 }}</ref>
==Songs==
The song "Machine Gun" was the album's first single and featured a music video.
The song "Bitter Pill" which was the second single features an operatic interlude, performed in German by the "Moron Fish & Tackle Choir". The makeshift "Choir" consisted of security guards, engineers, janitors, and others who had been available at or near the recording studio.<ref>[http://www.downboys.com/reviews.html Downboys.com Review]</ref> The song features two different [[music videos]], one with the album version of the song featuring the whole band in the video and one with the acoustic version of the song featuring only Jani Lane in the video. The video for the acoustic version was shot solely outside St Vincent de Paul Church located at 621 West Adams Blvd in South Los Angeles (intersection of West Adams and Figueroa).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iamnotastalker.com/tag/charmed-filming-locations/|title=St. Vincent de Paul Church|publisher=|access-date=2021-08-21}}</ref> The Popeyes Restaurant seen across the street in the video still exists today.
"The Hole in My Wall" featuring the use of a [[Talk box|talkbox]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=Warrant - Dog Eat Dog (album review ) {{!}} Sputnikmusic|url=https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/72101/Warrant-Dog-Eat-Dog/|access-date=2021-09-01|website=www.sputnikmusic.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2011-09-16|title=Warrant - Dog Eat Dog|url=https://maytherockbewithyou.com/mtrbwy/2011/09/warrant-dog-eat-dog/|access-date=2021-09-01|website=maytherockbewithyou.com|language=en-US}}</ref> was released as the third single of the album.<ref>{{Cite web|date=|title=Warrant - The Hole in My Wall|url=https://www.spirit-of-metal.com/en/album/The_Hole_in_My_Wall/272219|access-date=2022-01-26|website=Spirit of Metal|language=en-US}}</ref>
