WARRANT got a pretty bad reputation, they got the "Hair Metal" tag more than any other band.Sadly.


Jani Lane had too many demons. Alcoholism and according to his ex-wife Bobbi Brown, she claims that he was Raped, by a major metal star. And of course everyone assumes it is Rob Halford, but trust me I have seen Rob's EX (his ex partner and Manager from his FIGHT days) and he was pretty "Butch". Jani was not Rob's "type!" Who was it? Bobbi won't say but those of us in the biz and community, think we have the suspect.


RIP Jani Lane. February 1, 1964 – August 11, 2011

So why am I waxing nostalgic over Jani and Warrant? CHERRY PIE the lp is great, so many great tunes and it wasn't fair that they got the shaft due to fkn GRUNGE!



Check out the tunes yourselves.


BLIND FAITH

I SAW RED is one of the greatest (Power) Ballads of all time, it has so much relevance to me over the eons!

Jani thanked his dad for his love of reading and while the tune is called: UNCLE TOM's CABIN; the video and song tell a very powerful story. "Hair Metal" my ARSE!!!

I picked every song for our Wedding Reception and I was damn sure to include this one.

I think it's brilliant and I find it funny!

AND! If I had to choose a role, I would pick BRIAN's character of house-Mum!

HAHAHAHA!

Europe the Final Countdown


the lp sold millions of copies. But, not all was well in Europe. Guitarist: John Norum was not happy with this "Commercial direction" that the band took.

So he split and the band got Kee Marchello in. So what does John do?


He goes gets a solo deal and releases his first solo lp and the lead single is


Love is meant to last forever

BUT! The tune sounds VERY FAMILIAR!!!!


This is where the expression; "Ripping yourself off" comes into play. HAHAHAHAHA!

"I'm not afraid."

Dio.

My favorite Dio song. I was lucky enough to see him at The Fabulous Forum in Inglewood for The Last In Line Tour in '84. Dig the Clockwork Orange and the Hammer '59 Mummy homage scenes in the video.

ELO

Surprised NO ONE has posted this yet.

Replace the name with another similar sounding name and you have the name of my Paramore.

God I miss her.

PHENOMENA (II) came out in 1988 three years after the first LP. A collaborative project by TOM GALLEY, brother of MEL GALLEY (Trapeze/Whitesnake) this incredible ballad has been a PERSONAL favorite of mine for Decades! Featuring Mel, SCOTT GORHAM (Thin Lizzy) on guitars; Leif Johansson on keys, Michael Sturgis on drums, and JOHN WETTON (ASIA) on bass and vocals!

DID IT ALL FOR LOVE

In fact this collaboration was responsible for Scott getting back into music as he, Leif Michael formed 21 guns. But before that Mikey & Scott were in the reformed ASIA with John and GEOFF DOWNES in 1988!!1

BUT.... Sadly they could only get a deal in JAPAN, so they didn't pursue it. Even though some of the tunes ended up on later ASIA Albums!

DAMN!

AC/DC isn't the only great band from Aussie.


Rose Tattoo another band Guns 'N' Roses RIPPED OFF big time!


(Vocalist) ANGRY ANDERSON is SCARRED FOR LIFE!!!
