@@phillynott2459 it's easily glam metal. Those are not rock riffs. Rock isn't supposed to use heavy chugging riffs with powerchords as much as metal anyway.
My favorite song he ever did a masterpiece his signature song. Very original sounding. This is what he should be remembered for not cherry pie that was a throwaway that blew up
This song gave me the direction for the music I wanna make. This song is beyond good man. Holy shit. Btw check out animal drives cover. Best cover I’ve heard in my lofe
Jani is proof positive you didn't need to be ripped to be hot as hell .. damn that voice so regret not seeing him perform. He was only 3 weeks older than me so yes at 58 I still adore him, can't get enough of these live shows. The 80's will always rule!!
I remember hearing Warrant perform this while on tour with Mötley Crüe in late '89 before 'Cherry Pie' was recorded. I specifically bought 'Cherry Pie' for 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'. Hands down one of their best songs, if not THE best!!!!!
I saw Warrant on 2 occasions. The most memorable was a show in a small club in San Diego right at the time that 80’s rock was fading and the Seattle scene was thriving. I’m gonna say 1993 or so. Interestingly, their PA system went down. All that was functional on stage was 1 mic and a keyboard. Jani improvised and busted into a medley of Queen and Beatles covers to fill time. To this day it is one of the best shows I have ever experienced. People don’t necessarily understand how talented he was. Classical trained on the piano and vocally since age 6. I really miss him. He has always been one of my main musical influences.
My very first concert was poison and warrant. Came home nearly deaf and was hooked on going to see bands for the rest of my youth. I was 15 and saw them in Birmingham AL
Omg! They were my first concert too! I was 14, and they were in Binghamton NY. Poison and Warrant woohoo! Janie Lane was my only metal crush, ever lol!
Hair Metal is remembered for the one hit wonders, but no way in hell was Jani Lane a one trick pony. This kid had the voice, talent and connection to the fans that not many had despite fronting a hair band. Jani was special. What a tragic loss to the entire rock and roll family when he passed. It didn’t have to be that way.
Something that I always found amazing about Jani was he was a very heavy cigarette smoker and there's no secret he had a fondness for whiskey both have destroyed some of the most amazing voices. Even years later his voice was as strong and sweet as it ever was. If he had been able to hang out with us for a little while longer I think his voice would have gotten better with the years. It was amazing. It really has only being in probably the last 10 years where I have been able to appreciate how very talented he was as a vocalist and a songwriter. As a woman and a groupie I got so caught up in his sex appeal that I really couldn't see beyond that as a older woman it's clear to see that what he offered on the outside was just a bonus. When I think of him he really feels like one of the friends that I partied with that didn't make it. I still cry and never met him in my life. There was something about him that attached himself to people and they couldn't get enough. I'm so grateful that he left behind such an abundance of Amazing Music I only wish we had some better quality videos. With that said the fact that they're grainy and blurry is a sign of the times.
What’s crazy is the talent that came from this era of music that gets no credibility due to the so called hair band gimmick but hands down this performance and many like it are far more impressive than 99% of anything coming out now days!
WOW! That was epic!!! Such a great performer...He had the crowd eating out the palm of his hand and stayed engaged the entire time, it was flawless! The end when he did the vocal solo, that was pitch perfect and he waited the perfect amount of time to bring it back for an outstanding ending! Man my heart aches for this time, at least we have the memories in these video's and it's like I'm there with them living what music was all about! I wish one day that people can come back together and make awesome music like this, that had more feeling and heart in the intro riff then all the new music out! R.I.P Jani
Hey I as a person who adores Jani Lane and got to visit with him many times one on one , I do recommend the brand new Warrant album Louder Harder Faster. It definitely is great Warrant music with a good singer in Robert Mason. He admitted he will never be a Jani but Lane himself gave his blessing to carry on in Warrant while Jani stayed solo. He liked Robert and I gave him and the new and previous Warrant albums a chance and they are cool! For free sample or TH-cam some tracks before picking it up to purchase. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!
I saw Warrant, Trickster & Firehouse on a tour back around this time. They were all awesome! I will always love Jani's voice, and the music he shared with us while we had him. :-)
gaffawebber the blood, sweat, and beers tour. I went to it as well in Omaha , Nebraska. I'm a big metal head but man, the glam metal...got a soft spot in my heart.
When Steve Stevens asked Beau Hill, if punching-in line by line was normal, for all the singers he recorded, he said, "Yes". He then asked, "Even the guy from Warrant?" To this Beau Hill responded, "No, he's a real singer." That about sums it up.
This song and performance perfectly illustrates my vexation at people referring to genres that never existed: glam metal and hair metal. Those were just terms coined to describe an image not a sound. Listen to this track, watch the performance, it's just heavy metal. No other sub genre. It rocks as heavy and straight down the line as Judas Priest, Twisted Sister, Accept, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Dio and any other bona fide "heavy metal" band. Metal is so wide ranging that it spans Uncle Tom's Cabin, Cherry Pie, Sometimes She Cries as well as Crazy Train, The Number of the Beast and Living After Midnight.
Justin Briggs The first album, the 2 guitarists didn't play any of their solos, 2nd album there were studio musicians brought in to help them construct solos. The solos on the 1st Bon Jovi album weren't Sambora. It goes on and on: There were reasons for the derision back at the time
Jani Lane & Warrant at their peak. He exudes rock star confidence when he speaks at the start yet he does so while connecting with the fans, showing that confidence & humility can co-exist and remain in balance in the right soul. Then he just fucking kills it and gives a performance worthy of his confidence. Great, great musician and performer. I get the sense that if Jani was 5 years younger and he came up when music shifted to grunge instead of hair metal, he’d have still been a rock star. When you have the talent he had, you aren’t confined to the musical flavor of the day and your voice finds its way regardless of genre.
they got the date wrong. it was feb 21,1991-- my 21st b-day was feb 22 and i was at this show. hammerjacks let me in cause i would be turning 21 at mid-night. it was awesome!!!!
30 years ago and I still listen to this song every now and then. Love the way the guitars and drums come charging into this song. Didn't get enough airplay to be a Giant like it should. And Jani was brilliant. Great musician and great singer.
I'll admit up front, I wasn't a Warrant fan. But this song always kicked ass, and I always thought it was exceptional. Very sad Mr. Lane is no longer with us. He probably had a lot of good songs like this one left in him.
Love this band sure don't make music like this anymore.... I grew up in the 80's love all my hair bands! I had seen Warrent before they broke up it was awesome!

I was so fortunate to see Warrant live several times in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. They came to my part of the country a lot and we never missed them. So talented, and of course, Jani as the frontman was not to be missed! Such an amazing talent! Love you, Jani. We’ll never forget you.
they were the days to grow up !!! things are so different to live in now not for the better since 911 nothing the same wars everwere !!! just a very nasty fucked up world we living in its so sad for the kids growing up now so easyer back then
Garrielee Peck I was born in 1990 and I love playing my guitar and listening to hair bands so much. you're so right! I play guitar while my friends listen to shitty new music and play on there phones all day. i wish I could go back in time and be like all the other people and have the coolest memories in the world. our world is fucked. I want to be off the grid with my guitar. I would do anything to have the power to bring it back
I was lucky enough to get to play this club 2 times in two separate bands back in the day...They made you feel like a Rock Star even if you were just a common garage band playing there....He was NOT bullshittin about HAMMERJACKS! BEST damned Rock n Roll club back in the day PERIOD! I was trapped in the restroom when this song kicked in! Yes it was even packed like sardines in there too!!! A magical time in music history!!!! R.I.P. Jani! Thanks for even taking our Demo tape! And BTW it' Steve "WHITE" man, not "WITT" man....LOL
Jani absolutely needs to be mentioned in the "Greatest Frontmen of Rock" ...yeah yeah yeah I get it, most of the lists are "Top Ten" and yet somehow the singer for Disturbed makes the cut (different convo)...but I had the pleasure of seeing Jani in a live performance and I can tell you one thing, as I'm sure the archive footage can justify, that dude poured his heart into every show. He looked like he had a genuine good time doing it. He loved the crowd, loved the music, and loved being on that stage. I'm sorry to say, but most frontmen play the "part" nowadays. Jani fucking ENJOYED the "part". The crowd got involved - they left wanting more - they had his posters smothered on their bedroom walls. ROCK...FUCKING...STAR. Jani, you are one of the best frontmen to grace the stage. Even when you're gone, you make all of us want to experience the fun and joy you brought to the live experience. Concerts in this era are good, and we will still hold our fists in the air for all things that rock, but things just aren't the same as back then. We fucking love you, man.
right! The more time goes on and mainstream music gets lame the more I appreciate rock bands of all genres and from all time periods and the more I notice the unique things that are part of what makes ROCK.
I have never been to hammerhead I was a little to young but when I was in my teens my neighbor who was a baltimore city fire fighter gave me two speakers that was in hammerjacks guess I got a little piece of baltimore history :)
YES! You did! Most of Hammers sound equipment was custom built for the club by Maryland Sound....The club had a better sound system than most arenas! Bro hope you still have them.You could reap mega $$$ for those you know!
They are playing at HammerJacks.....was in Baltimore MD.....was demo’ed to build Camden Yards baseball stadium I was at tons of shows there in the 80’s. Was some of the best days of my life!
Because he was a depressed drunk with several kids and divorces and a band that broke up due to the grunge invasion of the early 1990's. Jani had a great voice and was a good guitar player to boot (just watch Uncle Toms' Cabin video) but he had suicidal demons. And was haunted by his past. I won't go into that. And he had a really bad drinking problem. I can relate to that. So there you have it. You don't have to be a rocket scientist (which most of you are not) to figure out why his life ended this way. Its really a shame. Not because he had a great voice. But because he was a husband an father with kids that needed him. Uncle Toms Cabin may be one of the best songs I've ever heard. I love it. RIP Jani. You owe nobody explanations. Including me.
Loved you Jani as an older fan. I’d just pulled into work heard this sad news on my radio. It was a sad evening thinking about you being gone so soon. Hope you found peace in Heaven and singing with the angels now. We miss you! 😢🙏🏻💞
The best warrant song
Yes
Another Jani Lane song but warrant got the credit.
Shit man I don’t know I will travel across country and just listen to a whole album
Absolutely!
abysmalfiend weren’t fuckin around back in the day apparently 🧐
80's and 90's metal was legit, the torch still burns - just harder to find these days
Yup, alot of 1 hit wonders. So I guess that makes us wonder where they went?
Check out some of the bands from Europe. Bands like Crashdiet, wig wam, hardcore superstar, the poodles, and lots of others. Great music
This ain't metal ... It's embarrassingly bad glam rock
@@phillynott2459 it's easily glam metal. Those are not rock riffs. Rock isn't supposed to use heavy chugging riffs with powerchords as much as metal anyway.
Amazing vocals on this. RIP Jani, you were the real deal
LOL, U really think he is resting??
always right on Q~ & no he does not rest~~
Yup
@@karenjones5321 yes.
My favorite song he ever did a masterpiece his signature song. Very original sounding. This is what he should be remembered for not cherry pie that was a throwaway that blew up

who sexuly abused Lane?
Underated singer of that era
And songwriter
He was a great songwriter and damn what a voice he had.

He has always been one of my main musical influences.
For some reason your comment makes me wanna cry. Too bad he's gone.
Jani Lane what a great lead singer he was.
He is surely missed from the rock world and from the music itself
My very first concert was poison and warrant. Came home nearly deaf and was hooked on going to see bands for the rest of my youth. I was 15 and saw them in Birmingham AL
Omg! They were my first concert too! I was 14, and they were in Binghamton NY. Poison and Warrant woohoo! Janie Lane was my only metal crush, ever lol!
Was there as well @ BJCC. Not far ahead of you as Whitesnake at same venue was my first concert (the previous year I believe).
Saw them too on that tour in Louisville Ky. They blew Poison out of the building. And everyone knew it. Including Poison
Mine too and Eddie money

Fk. I miss Jani so fuckin much. He was such a sweetheart to any and everyone. And he could fucking SING like a mfker. RIP brother
he was a rock star
Yes could sing and sound that great...I was 10ft in front of him ....at club show in 96..97
His voice sounds amazing live, he really belts it out! Fucking awesome song!
Fuck.. Those were some good vocals right there.
What’s crazy is the talent that came from this era of music that gets no credibility due to the so called hair band gimmick but hands down this performance and many like it are far more impressive than 99% of anything coming out now days!
You sure hell's got that one right brother
Yup those days of real music and musicians are gone man.
They play on their phones now. They don't put the time in on the instruments anymore. The music glory years are gone.
To be fair tho when people make fun of the era they are just referring to the real terrible songs/acts. Of course stuff like this was the real deal
The effort and ability here is better than any cd or record. Always if a band sounds better live you’ve got a good’un. Warrant we’re one
I can't believe this guy could smoke and smoke and still sound amazing later on. Defiantly one of the best!
Chris jo Lillie Axe is

My favorite Warrant song.
Jani Lane was a beast, was rockin with every cell of his body!!!!! and that voice!!!!

Very Nice...meet Jani n the Band bout 96 or 97...tiny club called Jackhammers in Suburbs of Chicago ...Bang Tango n LA Guns that nite too...Rip JL....
Jani was the shit RIP this is awesome man. The dude could sing man.
You know you're awesome when you tune your bass in the middle of a song and still make it sound amazing.
What a great voice. Definitely on my all time play list.
2023 & this song still ROCKS! Their best tune imho & Jani absolutely kills it here! RIP Jani🥺💔
I saw Warrant, Trickster & Firehouse on a tour back around this time. They were all awesome! I will always love Jani's voice, and the music he shared with us while we had him. :-)
gaffawebber the blood, sweat, and beers tour. I went to it as well in Omaha , Nebraska. I'm a big metal head but man, the glam metal...got a soft spot in my heart.
I saw them on that tour also. Couldn’t freaking hear for a month after. Loudest concert I’ve ever been to
That would’ve been badass man 😩
I think that was the same tour I saw… wasn’t it called “ Blood, Sweat and Beers”?
Jani legend 4ever ,not many like him. Inspires me
I loved the If I hear Vanilla Ice one more time I am going to throw up!

Just like the scorpions, WASP, Tesla, & others.
Was thinking more ZZ TOP
And my favorite genre: blues-based Southern rock as practiced by such great as Lynyrd Skynyrd, early Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin and many others.
It's not heavy metal. It's hard rock
Excellent! Rock in Peace Jani Lane. What a band.
That's some great jamming right there
There will never be another like him! I miss ya Mr Jani Fuckin Lane! Thank you for the memories!
Hands down their best rockin tune .... it'll live for a long long time
Lost a great rocker let his spirit be a free bird.
Ken Knight I reckon so
The best in the 80's still is rip my friend Jani still think of you everyday.
Such a talented musician was Jani Lane!!Seriously the real deal . Wrote songs that were awesome and sang like a bad mofo!! R.I.P.
Dude was absolutely fantastic. They were on fire. I saw them in 1989 in Gainesville Fl at Dubs. Epic
I loved hammerjacks was a great place saw so many great bands.
What a performance, i miss quality music, i miss jani...i miss the 80's 🤘😎🤘🔥❤️👏
Keep on rock-and-roll alive
I was up front for this show. What a great night!
Beautiful! What a great talent! Thank you God for letting us have him for a little while! 😭😍❤️
FUCKING AMAZING HE WAS,,,SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE FUCKING RECORD!!!! WE ALL LOVE U JANI....

Amazing, strong vocals. RIP
His voice will always be here~
I'll admit up front, I wasn't a Warrant fan. But this song always kicked ass, and I always thought it was exceptional. Very sad Mr. Lane is no longer with us. He probably had a lot of good songs like this one left in him.
What an amazing artist~~~!!!
Sure miss those days!
Best days ever. Queen n Warrant. Need nothing else
Thanks for posting...Hammerjacks in Baltimore! I was 21 back then and at this show. It was a great concert, I'll never forget it!

No , closed years ago when they redid the Orioles stadium and parking
One of the hardest and best sounding hair band songs ever.
the last of rock &roll thank you
outstanding vocals, everything vince meal wishes he sounded like.
I was so fortunate to see Warrant live several times in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. They came to my part of the country a lot and we never missed them. So talented, and of course, Jani as the frontman was not to be missed! Such an amazing talent! Love you, Jani. We’ll never forget you.
Great hard rock right here. Great vocals.
they were the days to grow up !!! things are so different to live in now not for the better since 911 nothing the same wars everwere !!! just a very nasty fucked up world we living in its so sad for the kids growing up now so easyer back then
Garrielee Peck I was born in 1990 and I love playing my guitar and listening to hair bands so much. you're so right! I play guitar while my friends listen to shitty new music and play on there phones all day. i wish I could go back in time and be like all the other people and have the coolest memories in the world. our world is fucked. I want to be off the grid with my guitar. I would do anything to have the power to bring it back
Wow, this is better than the track on the album, especially the ending.
Real performers do that, they put on a real show. Real talent.
I was lucky enough to get to play this club 2 times in two separate bands back in the day...They made you feel like a Rock Star even if you were just a common garage band playing there....He was NOT bullshittin about HAMMERJACKS! BEST damned Rock n Roll club back in the day PERIOD! I was trapped in the restroom when this song kicked in! Yes it was even packed like sardines in there too!!! A magical time in music history!!!! R.I.P. Jani! Thanks for even taking our Demo tape! And BTW it' Steve "WHITE" man, not "WITT" man....LOL
I was lucky enough to see Warrant in Minneapolis!
I was happy to hear someone who swore more than me!
RIP Jani - We all miss you!!!
Jani absolutely needs to be mentioned in the "Greatest Frontmen of Rock" ...yeah yeah yeah I get it, most of the lists are "Top Ten" and yet somehow the singer for Disturbed makes the cut (different convo)...but I had the pleasure of seeing Jani in a live performance and I can tell you one thing, as I'm sure the archive footage can justify, that dude poured his heart into every show.

Concerts in this era are good, and we will still hold our fists in the air for all things that rock, but things just aren't the same as back then. We fucking love you, man.
The singer from Disturbed? I can't imagine what else is on the list.
80s Rules \m/
this album was released in 1990
I saw them at House of Blues Orlando! Great show!! Jani went in to the crowd singing!!! Awesome!!!!!!!! RiP..
They were changing their sound here man. They should of kept doing it. Jani Lane was a great singer man.
Roadie lights a smoke off stage, takes a few drags, and hands it off with guitar.....THAT’S rock n roll!
right! The more time goes on and mainstream music gets lame the more I appreciate rock bands of all genres and from all time periods and the more I notice the unique things that are part of what makes ROCK.
this song is scary and holy shit rip jani..one of my favorite og metal songs ever
I've been to Hammerjacks! Was back in 1993
Great singer jani lane
Amen 🙏
I have never been to hammerhead I was a little to young but when I was in my teens my neighbor who was a baltimore city fire fighter gave me two speakers that was in hammerjacks guess I got a little piece of baltimore history :)

They are playing at HammerJacks.....was in Baltimore MD.....was demo’ed to build Camden Yards baseball stadium
I was at tons of shows there in the 80’s.
Was some of the best days of my life!
Jani, why did u leave so soon dude, good rest your soul dude
Because he was a depressed drunk with several kids and divorces and a band that broke up due to the grunge invasion of the early 1990's. Jani had a great voice and was a good guitar player to boot (just watch Uncle Toms' Cabin video) but he had suicidal demons. And was haunted by his past. I won't go into that. And he had a really bad drinking problem. I can relate to that. So there you have it. You don't have to be a rocket scientist (which most of you are not) to figure out why his life ended this way. Its really a shame. Not because he had a great voice. But because he was a husband an father with kids that needed him. Uncle Toms Cabin may be one of the best songs I've ever heard. I love it. RIP Jani. You owe nobody explanations. Including me.
Loved you Jani as an older fan. I’d just pulled into work heard this sad news on my radio. It was a sad evening thinking about you being gone so soon. Hope you found peace in Heaven and singing with the angels now. We miss you! 😢🙏🏻💞
I miss these guys & Hammerjacks! I hear it may make a come back.
