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!!
@@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
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!!!!!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 was EXTREMELY talented. I still listen to his Jabberwockey record all the time. Private Blue World, This Town plus all the great tunes he wrote before. So sad he died the way he did, and what he was reduced to.
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 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!!!!
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.
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!
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!

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 🧐
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.
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!!
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.

Jani Lane what a great lead singer he was.
He is surely missed from the rock world and from the music itself
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!!!!!
who sexuly abused Lane?
Underated singer of that era
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
Yes could sing and sound that great...I was 10ft in front of him ....at club show in 96..97
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 great songwriter and damn what a voice he had.

For some reason your comment makes me wanna cry. Too bad he's gone.

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
Lillian Axe
Chris jo
Lillian Axe
Defiantly?
His voice sounds amazing live, he really belts it out! Fucking awesome song!
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
His f’ing voice…dear God! Never got to see them live so I had no idea he had such power.
Much respect. RIP Jani.
he was a rock star

My favorite Warrant song.
Jani Lane was a beast, was rockin with every cell of his body!!!!! and that voice!!!!
Fuck.. Those were some good vocals right there.
You know you're awesome when you tune your bass in the middle of a song and still make it sound amazing.
I was up front for this show. What a great night!
Jani was the shit RIP this is awesome man. The dude could sing man.
That dude can sing live just as studio good.
There will never be another like him! I miss ya Mr Jani Fuckin Lane! Thank you for the memories!
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”?
Excellent! Rock in Peace Jani Lane. What a band.
Jani legend 4ever ,not many like him. Inspires me
I loved hammerjacks was a great place saw so many great bands.
I love Warrent greatest hits? Hell Yeah !!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Dude was absolutely fantastic. They were on fire. I saw them in 1989 in Gainesville Fl at Dubs. Epic
What a performance, i miss quality music, i miss jani...i miss the 80's 🤘😎🤘🔥❤️👏
Beautiful! What a great talent! Thank you God for letting us have him for a little while! 😭😍❤️
That's some great jamming right there
Keep on rock-and-roll alive
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.
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
FUCKING AMAZING HE WAS,,,SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE FUCKING RECORD!!!! WE ALL LOVE U JANI....
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.
Best front man ever. Jani you rock brother rip
Pump da breaks
Leslie here..BEST FKN WARRENT SONG EVER!!
Rock the fk on y’all
🎶🤘🏼🎸✌🏼🔥🤣💋
Great performance. Would've loved to had seen them on this club run.
Jani was EXTREMELY talented. I still listen to his Jabberwockey record all the time. Private Blue World, This Town plus all the great tunes he wrote before. So sad he died the way he did, and what he was reduced to.
i laminate no one can replace this guys voice its one of a kind
Amazing performance! Jani's voice is top notch.

Happy birth day Jani miss you homie

This song absolutely rocks!!!
This absolutely ROCKS in 2020!
Nobody! I repeat NOBODY can beat Jani on vocals irl!!!
What an amazing artist~~~!!!
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.
I saw them at House of Blues Orlando! Great show!! Jani went in to the crowd singing!!! Awesome!!!!!!!! RiP..
Que voz fantástica la de Jani Lane y que gran compositor que era..QEPD..🤟
His voice will always be here~
Sure miss those days!

Awesome...I miss you, Jani! 🙂✌👍
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.
