Yeah I had no idea he passed away of alcohol poisoning so sad was one of my favorite bands loved his music and his band r.i.p ❤❤❤ 47 is far to young yeah I love Uncle Tom's cabin and Cherry pie so sad 😭😭😭
@@marlenepearson3936 Yeah, I admit I'm totally speculating but given the time he was born and how era defining that event was... Actually you can look it up on the internet. His dad was a Democrat and his mom was a huge JFK fan, and he was born in 1964, Feb 1, just three months after JFK's assassination.
Is a true a legend, you can't write songs the way that he wrote songs, no one in the last 20 years wrote songs like he did. The one quick song that he wrote changed his future, probably not for the best. But he wanted everyone to listen to Uncle Tom's cabin he was proud of that, and if you do listen to it just close your eyes ( take a ride)! and that's what he wanted everyone to have! Not only was his song writing abilities top-notch, He had the voice of an Angel that played rock songs. basically. He's got a smooth voice that you still can't hear to this day, And yes addiction does kill, addiction runs in a lot of people. no reason to point fingers and none of us are perfect. I'm glad that I was alive to listen to his music in the years that it was getting played, I still listen to this day 25 years later yes I'm old I don't care, when you get to this age you appreciate certain things in life. Just wish you was here so someday I could shake his hand and say hey thank you for getting me through the hard times of my life. You took me on a ride I'll never forget.
Sad story. I didn't realize Jani died at 47 until recently, alone in a hotel room. His first wife Bobbi Jean is a wonderful person, she's written two books and spoken on many podcasts. His daughters Taylar and Maddie are doing well. Thanks Ed. RIP Jani ❤️🌹🌈
@@Golden_Girl7123no she isn’t. I Saw Red was written well before he even met Bobbi. He met Bobbi on the set of Cherry Pie. I Saw Red was written for an unnamed woman and it was Bobby Blotzer from Ratt his girl was boning. Cherry Pie was the last song written for their album originally titled Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a concept album
@mrdraper4633 was under the impression it had something to do with his current live interest and Sambora.. I heard that in another one of these youtube dramas...
@@Golden_Girl7123 nah, a lot of these videos are created by people who had very little knowledge or interest in hair metal. I don't think he ever disclosed who she was. I could be mistaken about Bobby Blotzer being the buddy she cheated with, but I do KNOW it was not about Bobbi Brown.
I was a flight attendant for almost 30 years. Jani was on one of my flights. He came up to me right after takeoff to buy two mini’s of liquor and a can of ginger ale. He immediately went into the lavatory with the drinks. He was in the LAV a long time. So long I began to get worried. I said to myself “Am I going find this guy dead in the bathroom?” I got onto the floor and was able to peek through the bottom of the door just enough to see his feet moving. So I knew he was alive. He came out a little later and I said “Are you ok?” He seemed shocked that I would ask. He replied “Oh my stomach”. He came back later in the flight and we talked a little. Nice guy but didn’t look good. I think he passed a year or two later.
I forgot to mention a funny part of my story about Jani on my flight. When he walked up to me to buy liquor he said "I'm the lead singer of Warrant, can I buy a couple of drinks". I said "You don't have to be the lead singer of Warrant to buy a drink". It was a funny moment and we both laughed.
Last time i saw Warrant in concert Janie said they were gonna play a new song from next album and they wanted it to be lead single off that album. They played Uncle Toms Cabin and it rocked! Everybody loved it. I love that man!
I live kinda near Limestone and went there for traffic court . My friend was speeding and got caught. Wish I would've met him. He Rocked " Uncle Tom's Cabin" !!! ❤R.I.P. Jani { John }.
I remember seeing him in an interview where he had mentioned how much he hated Cherry Pie. So much so that he had wanted to kill himself over it. He believed it had destroyed his career. He was way too hard on himself. I also remember the circumstances surrounding his death. He had died alone in a hotel room. A maid had found him and called 911. She didn't know if he was dead other than he wasn't responding. When asked if she would try and see if he was still alive and possibly provide CPR if necessary, she refused, and that was that. Paramedics reported him DOA.
@@bobsebring2819😢 ALSO, HIS FRIEND HAD WRITTEN A NOTE "I AM JANI LANE" & PUT IT IN JANI'S POCKET SO THAT HE COULD BE IDENTIFIED IN THAT HOTEL ROOM. SO TRAGIC 😢 HIS FRIEND KNEW JANI WAS GOING TO PASS SOON. BUT HE ALSO WANTED JANI TO BE IDENTIFIED, AS HE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE HIMSELF AT THE END 😢 I CRIED WHEN I READ THIS. THAT JANI WAS ALONE. REST IN PEACE SWEET JANI 😇🙏🏼❤️
He was one of my first real heart throbs omg my older sister had a picture of Warrant on her wall. I would sit on her bed and stare at Janie's picture and drool. RIP to Janie such a beautiful and talented man
After much investigating by a site on YT,it was determined the Metal singer who did that to Jani was Rob Halford. There's too many details to list,but it was pretty convincing...and Jani's ex wife refuses to discuss Halford at all. I hope it's not him,but it is what it is.
Could of been anyone; Ozzy, Lemmy, Bruce Dickerson even Sabastian he was wild and weird, could of even been anyone doesnt mean Rob did i because he is gay ... ronnie james was thrown too...
@@GypsyWays Nah it was who it was and he talks bout his sexual frustrations on the road saying that he would unleashed like a beast and he would cruz local bars in between shows with a friend lookin for a pick up… Don’t take my word just go back and listen to him… js
One of my favorites of The Heavy Metal era, Jani Lane!!. “Thank You Ed.” For those of you who don’t know, check out the song, (I SAW RED-ACOUSTIC Version) by WARRANT. It’s a very cool song!.
@@EdCollectsWow mine too! Such an underrated singer, songwriter n frontman. Faraway Eyes is one of my favorite songs…melodic n melancholic, just great. Gone too soon…Rest +Rock in Peace Jani💚
Friends of mine were in a band known along the east coast. When they would play Akron agora Jani would set up the instruments and help with sound check. When he passed I called the lead singer and he just cried on the phone. He was loved by many. Rest in peace man - you're missed 🕊
Ed! I think I told you before, but I knew the Warrant guys! My cousin lived next to Erik Turner! They used to play baseball at the field right up the street from my cousin's house! Jani was a nice guy! He was a great songwriter! Uncle Tom's Cabin! Andy Warhol Was Right!
I do remember you telling me that! I had to re-do this video because the original one I made was crap. Warrant is my favorite hair metal band. That's awesome that you knew them! I saw them in concert in Juneau, Alaska.
@@TheNothing6Hey, Mikey! I liked your Warrant song recommendation. 😊 I had a video from Cinderella come up on here from a Rhino Records playlist earlier. What songs do you like from them?
@@Silverstreak7878 let’s say I’ve never heard Paul Stanley mentioned but I have read the other name mentioned a lot. Google is your friend. Not saying he did or didn’t but……
How young many of these singers passed away.To bad,they could be enjoying all they made and relax comfortably till the right time to go.sad😢to me .RIP Jani 🙏
I always liked this guy from the 80s. Love his voice, and the band, Warrant, was a big favorite of mine because his voice was amazing, and the band was so good ❤
I really liked Heaven. Met him in '86 slithering the Hollywood after parties. He did party, but always cool. Nice guy, wasn't stuck up. Major loss. The business gave him the business. The breakup of the band was very traumatic. He never recovered from the loss. He felt he wasn't cool anymore.
I can relate, he pulled me out of the audience at a Venue and we talked for quite awhile. It took me a few days to realize that I was supposed to be the, ' Entertainment' yet he was gentlemanly. ( Odd and kindly surprising). I have pictures of the band & Firehouse in the gas station where I worked.. R.I.P., The song, 'Sometimes Times She Cries' & ' I Saw Red' epitomized alot of my youth, both good & bad❤.. He is sorely missed
It's always the more interesting folks that burn out. Then there's these decrepit old leather boots dragging a dead horse: rolling stones, Ozzy Osbourne, pink floyd ,etc etc.... I'll never forget Jani Lane💕
🎉happy birthday 🎂 [ February 1st ] >,1964 Jani lane and > "1965 myself RondyPhelps " .❤ hi I saw you there and I am here now to see where you live in heaven with the lord God almighty and all his glory. Amen unto them that care and pray that you have a halo 😇 wings and feel the mercy of the lord.
He was way more then that! First I've heard about him being R,Ed by a famous metal singer(I wonder if it's in her book Dirty rockers.I haven't read it yet). His decline was heartbreaking, really sad and young.Rip sir and thank you for your contributions to society with your awesome songs and music 💝🙏🌄🥁🌷🗽
She's My Cherry Pie was good ....but Uncle Tom's cabin Rocked out !!!! Dude sang cool and was a cool dude. R.I.P. Jani... and keep on singing !⚡️✨️🎶🎵🎶💯💪💥❤️✌️👣🙏
It's true. Jani even said it himself but wouldn't elaborate on who did it. It was proven that Rob Halford and his tour manager were the only other band around within the time frame and area and had visited Jani when they were playing close by...drugged and raped....Jani and his girlfriend both have spoken on the assault.
The craziest thing was that he was not untoward; he didn't act like I was his dinner. He was polite and respectful. ( I was quite surprised, but thankful, my first, 'Club Concert' & I was NERVOUS'). No weird, 'crawl on me', scenario..
Sad I can remember hanging out with friends an jamming to them I must admit that I never watched any video just jammed to them on the stereo they were like a lot of the bands back then they called it glam bands I just called them to soft looking for me but motley Crueuse to glam them selves up to an they were awesome still I wasn’t ever worried bout looking at them
From what I have heard, he actually hated the song Cherry Pie. Apparently, they were told by the A&R man that they needed something catchy and the song was written in about half an hour.
Miss having random conversations with him. Wouldn’t hear from him for a year and then he’d text “just got into a fight with so and so from the band so and so I’ll have you later and tell you about it” RIP Buddy
I first saw them in London in 1982 on a aldayer they were first band it was headlined by Wasted Youth with Uk Decay, Sex Gang Children,Actifed,Erazerhead,Crown of Thorns, NMA were originally part of the Goth scene
Another Great from Ohio i seen them live in the 90s w poison,i watched a little documentary the guy that did this figured out and narrowed it down to 2 people of which band or band member may have sexually assaulted him, that really messed him up .
Lo conocí en Phoenix y lo trate en Tijuana en el hard rock de Sammy heegar, coincidimos en un restaurante de comida china.. nos tomamos un par de fotos..muy amable y sencillo
Oh wow, he passed so young. I grew up listening to the best music 🎶 I've seen Warrant years ago. They opened for another band and dang it, I can't think of the band (YET)..lol 😅 We have lost so so many young musicians through the year's from addiction. Do sad.😢
