Rest in Peace Jani Lane.

I can't believe it! Waiting for confirmation. R.I.P.

EDIT: It seems like it is true.

His appearance on That Metal Show will be very interesting. It's supposed to air soon.

 

[DJ James]

I'll be sure to catch that,

He was a driving force in glam metal, he will not be forgotten

 

[Mosh]

He was also halfway done with an album.

 

[Forostar]

Who is he?

 

[The Flash]

Who is he?

Frontman of a glam metal band named Warrant. I don't listen to glam metal, just general knowledge.

R.I.P. by the way.

 

[Albie]

Who is he?

Yeah, I had to google his name as well. I had heard of Warrant but only because Cherry Pie was pretty massive around 20 years ago.

 

[Forostar]

Warrant?

I have seen Warrant when they opened for Maiden in 1992 (my first Maiden gig).

R.I.P.

I don't care for their music much, but Down Boys is one of my favorite Glam metal songs.

Lane's sister is saying his death was due to alcoholism. Autopsy reports are inconclusive until toxicology reports come in...

Rock n rollers and wrestlers... not a lot of longevity...

 

[Wästed The Great]

IIRC, he got really heavy and even showed up on The Biggest Loser (or one of those shows). 

Honestly, I like Warrant.  Not a lot of substance, but they had some fun songs.
