Regardless of your stance on the music still a sad situation.

RIP.

Warrant was the first band I ever saw in concert. November 1990 Richfield Coliseum, they opened up for Poison.

Uncle Tom's Cabin is still an awesome tune...

Uncle Tom's Cabin, Mr. Rainmaker, and the entire Dog Eat Dog album...great shit. I don't do drugs but man this makes me want to take better care of myself. Very sad.

Is indeed very sad. Shame that the general public will remember him `as that Cherry Pie guy' - a song he despised - great to see people on here recognising his great song writing talent.

RIP Jani.

Absolutely, great songwriter indeed. Dog Eat Dog and Cherry Pie - title track aside - are superb records. Saw them at Thebarton back in 90/91(?) and they were great.

RIP

Jani Lane acoustic solo. Worth a watch:

So you're telling me he ain't gonna swing with your daughter no more?

The guy had as much demons as he had talent. It's reported that the police found vodka and pills in his room which is never a good combination for staying alive.

Too young, too soon.

I HATE glam....

Unfortunately, people tend to forget that they're not 20 anymore. All that shit being drunk, snored and shot, all those sleepless nights spent partying... I'm very proud of our boys not being silly abusers, well - except that guy who didn't know where to take crap. Hopefully, Joey is off being a big time on the bottle.
RIP, Jani.

Indeed. It's amazing how probably a year's worth of work to create an amazing album gets overshadowed by a 15 minute throwaway song the record label wanted at the last second. So many incredible songs on that album. Here's the video - one of the best and most honest music interviews you'll see:



RIP Jani. Thanks for writing a lot of incredible music.

Janie later came out and retracted those statements, saying he was in a bad mood and just didn't want to do the interview, but I'm a big believer that, when you unload like he did, it's usually the truth coming out.

 

[scooterville]

Cherry Pie wasn't my favorite song from them, but I thought it was 'OK'. The girls love it when I play it at the bars! lol

 

[sufferer]

An incredible song, it's shame when image overshadows the greatness of bands, that's the fucking record labels. I loved this back in the day and still do great song and great riff.
