I had a huge crush on him when I was 14 and going through my fake hair metal phase. RIP, Jani.

Heaven is one of my most favorite songs EVER. RIP Jani.

Funny story...

Back around '95, I lived at the beach for the summer. Warrant played a show at the casino there. Afterwards, Jani Lane asked one of the girls we were hanging out with if she wanted to "take a walk on the beach" with him. She was a cocktail waitress at the casino. She politely declined and told him she had a massive crush on him when she was in high school. He called her a "fucking cunt" and stormed off.

I remember after she told the story, I couldn't help thinking about how awful it must have been to go from banging super models left and right to getting shot down by cocktail waitresses at small-town casinos.

Hence, dead in a hotel room at 47.

Hence you're stupid.

I dont know why "Hence you're stupid" made me LOL, but it did.

I love this song:



I just bought "The Best of Warrant". I had to buy the non-acoustic version of "I Saw Red" like the one above in the video from Amazon. They only have the acoustic version on the cd I bought. I love Warrant too. Granted they are no KISS, but still have really good music.

I too enjoyed, "Hence you're stupid". One of my English professors used to say, "Never underestimate the effectiveness of a well-placed hence."

Now I understand. Totally.

I hate "I Saw Red". Kids in junior high used to sing that to me when I walked down the hallways.

Yeah, 'neady, I hate She'll be [shelby] coming 'round the mountain for the same reason

*Rainy sways back and forth and sings:"Heaven isn't too far away, closer to it everyday..."



I got my Warrant CD today! Stupid Youtube doesn't have the original Heaven video.

That is my fave, Rainy.
