"Our singer at the time".... can anyone name their singer now or any recognizable song they've done since JL.

[@stankakol5195]

Dude, you nailed it!! You rule!!

[@ozkisser]

I thought the same thing, Jani and his talent made them who they became...famous house hold names! More respect for him please guys.

[@GlamprinceRockking]

Robert Mason. Both albums with have been better than any album since their debut.

[@stankakol5195]

@@GlamprinceRockking "Better" is a highly subjective term. Let's talk gross revenue from Jani's albums vs. those from Mason. I bet it's not even close.

[@GlamprinceRockking]

@@stankakol5195 you're right about the revenu....but non even if Jani still sang for them....crowd size and album sales wouldn't be any better than they make or draw. Robert was good enough for Ozzy and George Lynch....so

[@christopher8220]

WOW - this is cool! I caught one of the Poison / Warrant tour dates. I was not there to see Poison!

[@kevinkaatz883]

I've liked Warrant since the day I heard Down Boys. It was love at first hear, and they've been in my life since

[@spiritmediumdaniel7161]

Met them on that tour, they played a very very small club in Dover Delaware called Tapworks. They took some pictures there that they ended up using for an ad with Sure Mics. There were maybe 12 people in the whole place. It was with another band called D'molls

[@nebojsabogovac6208]

"Our singer or Jani at the time", common Joey, please show more respect for the guy who made you famous. This video is almost a year old and still 0 comments. Warrant without him is like Whitesnake without DC, or the heartbreakers without Tom Petty.

[@izzy_skyliner]

Jani lane is warrant without him they are not warrant they need to change there name I may like them tho but they didnt play lead on the first two albums

[@HB-xf2xl]

@Smith Hart Jani wrote the majority of the songs that made them famous. Without Jani, they would not have been the warrant they became.

[@stankakol5195]

Man, you could NOT be more right!! Jani made this band!!

[@cheeseguy4998]

@@izzy_skyliner But they did Live so what's the story why didn't they on the albums ?

[@izzy_skyliner]

@@cheeseguy4998 the producer got a professional to play on the album and teach the guitarist you can google it or look it up on KZbin I'm an up and coming artist professionally just beginning but it happened all the time and still does jani lane is the only member to never had to get someone else to play his part jani even played drums on a lot of songs on all there songs a little known fact not many people know is jani played and recorded belly to belly by his self as in all the instruments and vocals he of course had a producer and engineer

[@bullfn3]

I saw Warrant open for Ratt and Great White at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin in ‘89. I had always thought that Warrant toured with Ratt that whole summer but it doesn’t really sound like that happened....

[@catfatherb2072]

Think Ratt toured with Britny Fox and Kix, I saw them in Nashville in '89

[@bullfn3]

Catfather B I believe that was for the first leg of that tour. I saw Ratt with Britny Fox and Kix in February of ‘89 in Normal, Illinois.

[@GlamprinceRockking]

@@catfatherb2072 I was there....11 years old and loving it. Britney Fox were spot on the best performance that night.

[@freedom2084]

“I think the singer at the time “ isn’t that the singer who wrote all the popular songs ?

[@midnitelitecompany]

They aren’t being forthcoming about the Poison tour.

[@explosiononimpact]

What do you mean?

[@midnitelitecompany]

They acted like they were “owed” more. They were throwing fits about everything. Poison gave them the slot right before them, and they complained about how much room they were afforded on stage, yada yada. Like spoiled brats. So they got the boot.

[@ml3731]

My first concert,Motley Crue and Warrant,Dr. Feelgood tour. I remember Jani having a black eye,heard he and Vince had got into a fight.

[@mimicry88]

I think Beau Hill was saying Cherry Pie album guitar solos were done by studio musicians. These 2 just played it live.

[@philipkarovski281]

Just one musician his name is Mike Slamer he did most of the solos on the first 2 Warrant records even Erik has confirmed this to me on his IG

[@mottosierra1372]

Yeah but on the dog eat dog was both and are great solos

[@adillon2four]

CC Deville played on Cherry Pie.

[@andrewzenn1719]

Mike Slamer played guitar on the albums.

[@downboys]

Only the solos

[@HB-xf2xl]

Didn't CC DeVille do the cherry pie solo?

[@philipkarovski281]

@@HB-xf2xl yeah that's why Jani says after the solo Trained professional alluding to C. C.

If you or if you know anyone trying to learn how to play guitar, check out my beginner guitar lessons on KZbin. Just find Tye Scott. I am totally blind BTW. If not, that’s cool too. Just trying to get my channel out there. Thanks

[@Katzeyes65]

Come on Jani was warrant

[@gunnarjordan6980]

Still is!

[@JoeyLeverett-x3x]

Jani Lane wrote the first three albums, without him these guys are nothing.

[@nathanyazzie9044]

🤘😝🤘

[@patrickreeves4650]

these guys act as if they accomplished so much, when in reality, they could barely play jani’s songs, and couldn’t play solid in the studio. its nice that they can act like they were so important…but you could plug and play any la guitar player from an unsigned band in and get the same level out of them as these two. that being said, they both grew into solid players, but telling this story, they sure act like god’s gift to rock.

[@damianmmx]

These guys founded Warrant... but Jani Lane MADE Warrant. Ungrateful average musicians.

[@casual35]

WTF? Average musicians?

[@damianmmx]

@@casual35 What I mean, they would never have gotten to the top without Jani, he was te real rockstar in warrant, seems so ungrateful how they talk about him. ;) and yes, average!

[@casual35]

@@damianmmx Well you have to be in their shoes to understand. We only see and hear about their relationship. They lived it. So they are speaking from direct experience. How we feel about the band and Jani has no relevance to the reality and what they're saying. And a band's success is collective and that mix has to be right. It took both Slash and Axel to be Gun's and Roses. You need both to have the music they wrote. Same as warrant.

[@damianmmx]

@@casual35 youre righe, they sound obviously sore and bitter, still I stick to my point, i dont think I'd even know them if it wasnt for Jani. They are free to be bitter and my point can be valid, 2 things may be true at once! :D

[@rosaliesikes1063]

You know you guys will not be at were are now if it wasn't for him

[@vistalite]

I saw them on the tour with D’Molls. Both bands killed it. Unfortunately, a million shittier bands of the same ilk were signed and diluted the hair band market, eventually killing the genre. Second albums of both bands were pretty bad.

[@McBlaster666]

D'Molls

[@davecassady7468]

"...our singer at the time." You mean the only singer for Warrant anyone knows....or more specifically, the only singer for Warrant anyone cares about? Clown show.

[@craigpoole1868]

Warrant is one of the bands that killed metal in the 80s. 3rd rate wannabes. They sucked. All flash no substance.

[@craigpoole1868]

@@Gandalf_Lundgren where's the proof of that? It's easy to blame label execs. The band was weak. The writing was weak there was no substance to anything about them.

[@haywoodjablowme699]

No. Warrant was a quality band. Bands like Trixter, Firehouse, Danger Danger and Ugly Kid Joe put the dagger in. Warrant had 7 verifiable hits in 2 years on those first 2 albums and record companies were scrambling to find the next Warrant. Enter the aforementioned bands.

[@craigpoole1868]

@@haywoodjablowme699 warrant was a 5th generation late comer hair metal band. By the time they came out labels were scrambling to find the next guns and roses. They were just as weak as trixter or Britney fox.
