Still, it was hard not to feel bad for the guy, as he sunk, quite publicly, into a struggle with addiction. If you caught him live at all during the early aughts, what you saw was likely depressing as hell. Lane ultimately died in , at the age of 47, from alcohol intoxication. He admitted this to me before his death. It was traumatizing to watch him reveal those things and how much it had affected his life up to that point.
When we were married I had no clue. This occurred when he was just starting out on the Strip. It would have been humiliating for him. They would not exist today, so they should be more grateful to Jani than anyone. I know that they had a lot invested in Jani 's return and his disease fucked everything up for them, but to be honest with you, they didn't care about ANY of that. They only cared about the band's career and were in it to win it and pull it off for themselves. They could give a fuck less about Jani 's problems, they just wanted that sweet reunion tour glory and payday.
The fact that none of them showed up was very hurtful to us. NET story or review, you must be logged in to an active personal account on Facebook. Once you're logged in, you will be able to comment.

The Corvette was reportedly black, not little or red. It was a hit, eventually peaking at 10 on the Billboard Top chart and reaching 28 for Billboard's top albums of It also went multiplatinum , selling two million copies, with the live longform video featuring concert performances of the album's songs selling , copies as well. It makes sense that they were so successful in both audio and video formats because their sound and look was very much of the moment.
AllMusic begins their review of DRFSR by noting that, "Other bands were bigger, other bands were better, but no other group embodied the spirit of late-'80s hair metal as much as Warrant" and ends with, "It served its purpose in , and years later, it sounds exactly like that year, both for better and worse. Warrant further encapsulated the spirit of hair metal by releasing not one but two sentimental power ballads, "Sometimes She Cries" and "Heaven," the latter a fan favorite left over from Plain Jane and their highest-ever charting hit — it reached 2 on Billboard.
Power ballads were emblematic of another important aspect of hair metal: They catered to women and the female gaze in a medium known for its bombastic, often toxic masculinity.
As a result, AllMusic notes, "this album [sold] to a wider, largely female audience that was also enamored with frontman Jani Lane's pretty looks. Of course, Warrant followed up Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich with an album whose title track was a notoriously over-the-top, explicit, and goofily sexist ode that managed to stand out in an era and genre known for its over-the-top, goofy sexism. Cherry Pie was released on September 11, , and was another hit, also peaking at 10 on Billboard's Top , charting as the 21st biggest album of , and going multiplatinum.
The lyrics include a series of entendres that can scarcely be called double "I mixed up the batter and she licked the beater" , and the video banned in Canada! In , Jani Lane explained that the song was actually a last-minute addition to the album. The president of Columbia Records reportedly called him and said, "Jani, you know I'm a big Aerosmith fan Something kitchy and sexy like 'Love in an Elevator? I could shoot myself in the head for writing that song," although he eventually recanted and professed love for the song on his autobiography page.
Jani Lane's problems with women are another important factor when considering his wild early '90s Warrant years. During the making of Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich , Jani walked in on his then-girlfriend in bed with his best friend. According to AllMusic , the event was so traumatizing that he had "a nervous breakdown" and spent time recovering in a psychiatric hospital, delaying the album's completion. Jani later used the experience to write the song "I Saw Red," which went on to be another hit single from the Cherry Pie album, peaking at 10 on the Billboard Top in February Jani regularly discussed the autobiographical nature of the song.
I'm sure she's doing wonderful now. Jani's ex-wife Bobbie Brown said in another interview , "I think a lot of people know and Jani had talked about how 'I Saw Red' was about his previous girlfriend Bekka Bramlett. Even more notorious was Jani Lane's whirlwind courtship, marriage, and divorce of his first wife, Bobbie Brown pictured above , who came into Jani's life when she played the pie-dropping blonde bombshell in the infamous "Cherry Pie" video.
In , Bobbie relayed to Legendary Rock Interviews how Jani started pursuing her after they made the video together, ignoring the fact that she was already dating Matthew Nelson of the band Nelson. Jani went on Howard Stern's radio show and reportedly announced over the air, "Matthew Nelson, I don't even care who you are or what you think.
I'm gonna marry Bobbie Brown. I love her and she is the one woman in the world for me.
