Joseph Alan Cagle, known professionally as Joey Allen, is best known as the lead guitarist of the American glam metal band Warrant.
Allen was born as Joseph Alan Cagle on June 23, 1964, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and grew up in Irvine, California.
In an interview, his bandmate and co-guitarist from Warrant Erik Turner states that "Joey is more of a technical player than me.
Erik Turner says he left the band before the recording of Knightmare II's Death Do Us Part EP.
He left as Warrant's style of music was losing popularity because of the grunge movement and he did not want to go back to playing clubs.
