Warrant - Uncle Tom's Cabin (Official Video) THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@MaddiLane]

Hey I'm Jani's daughter, I appreciate you guys reacting to the song and video :) Fun fact, my uncle RIck played that badass acoustic intro!

[@TheWolfHunterZ]

That is awesome!

[@markr.devereux3385]

This is what rocknroll is all about. My playlist will always include this classic❤️❤️❤️

[@genghiskhanii6646]

Awesome ! RIP Jani and Warrant are rock n roll legends!

[@noelpm2847]

I remember reading the liner notes saying Rick appears courtesy of his mom. And this music always brings a smile to my face. Such memories for us 80s kids. Your father is missed. And remembered.

[@hibhibb5429]

Maddi ~ I hope you know how much your dad is loved and how much he is still missed. He will never be forgotten. He was so Beautiful and so Talented in many ways!! His music will live on forever. RIP Jani! 🙏❤

[@mrteverlast71]

Just a great rock band who never get enough credit, always only being judged for Cherry Pie when they had many great tracks. RIP Jani Lane, was truly a fantastic singer & songwriter.

[@trainkid1217]

jani hated that song too!!

[@mtaffer]

Every time I saw Warrant live it was a great time and they were so professional. They reminded me a lot of how Cinderella was in their later Heartbreak Station years. The hair band stigma attached to these bands is so unfortunate because they were really good musicians.

[@andrewludwig9251]

Interesting trivial fact: Jani Lane actually wanted to call their follow-up album to Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich "Uncle Tom's Cabin"; but the record producers made him call the Album Cherry Pie--100% true. For that reason, Jani Lane HATED Cherry Pie until the day he died.

[@mrteverlast71]

@@andrewludwig9251 Indeed, heard him tell the story. How the album was done, it was called Uncle Tom's Cabin. Only for the record company to demand a "Love in an Elevator" sounding first single. Hence Jani wrote Cherry Pie that night & that became the albums title & first single. As he said himself, I could shoot myself for writing that fucking song. Cheers

[@prodigal71]

Totally agree

[@MetalBere]

My favorite Warrant's song

[@mayet4702]

I saw red would be my close second. 🤘

[@MetalBere]

@@mayet4702 yeah, love that too

[@tallguytrucker5956]

RIP Jani lane. Fantastic front man.

[@ChrisHutton-fw5eg]

Best song Warrant ever wrote.

[@trudydavidson528]

This is my favorite from them....they rocked it!!!

[@sylviamc56]

Warrant is/was a very under rated band. Jani Lane ,RIP, had one of the best voices. He was such a great singer-song writer. Left us way too soon. If you liked the acoustic guitar in this song, you will like "I Saw Red", acoustic version. Great reaction and so glad that you have found Warrant.

[@epicbattlekill]

Don't look up the acoustic version yet LOL. I just posted a whole thing that you 2 should do 1st. It'll make it real for you 2,..and for us that are fans of Jani, Warrant. Again,..just my opinion.

[@sylviamc56]

@@epicbattlekill Very true about his story. Really can't go wrong with any Warrant song, but it seems that this particular acoustic version never gets reacted to. It is my favorite song of theirs.

[@corysimmons5701]

I saw him a few months before he died at Panama City Beach, FL in 2007. He opened for Great White on their 25th anniversary tour

[@dcrisci]

I use to cover this song in an 80's hair/metal band tribute I was in and it always went over really well. I've been in a wheelchair for a few years now and I saw them at a casino and I sat at the stage in front of the Lead Guitar player Joey and he used 1 guitar pick for their entire set and when they finished playing he bent over and handed me the pick and I still have it along with a bunch of others I have from different bands. Even us Musicians are fans too as you guys know.

[@scottdaughtry6740]

A masterpiece. Easily one of the top 10 songs of the era.

[@chrispate2696]

I still get goosebumps when I hear this song til this day. Good story telling, and great rock n roll. R.I.P. Jani Lane.

[@cabowabovhnut]

Jani said he hated Cherry Pie, if you look it up you can see him talking about all the cherry pie stuff they had to deal with, he said "so I became the cherry pie guy". Uncle Tom's Cabin was supposed to be the first song released but he showed up ready for the release and the record company had a guy there that said "we gotta have something catchy for a hit" or something like that. So they were railroaded into it. Uncle Tom's Cabin wouldn't have been the insane hit Cherry Pie was but it's definitely a much deeper, better song.

[@josephsagona76]

The name of the record was originally supposed to be called Uncle Tom's Cabin, the record company wanted a catchy song like Aerosmith's Love in an Elevator, so he wrote Cherry Pie and suddenly became the Cherry Pie guy, the name of the record was changed to Cherry Pie, you're right he hated the song, it's not a terrible song, but I don't blame him for hating it because it pigeon holed him!

[@insomniaketchywinxy8186]

I think the record companies screwed over many bands. Took advantage of many groups like Skid row and Ratt

[@martymcpeak4748]

I thought the name of that album was supposed to be Uncle Tom's Cabin. And the producer said he didn't hear a single and had Jani write another song which turned out to be Cherry Pie and it was just what the producer wanted so everything was changed to cherry pie. I remember seeing that interview with Jani and I could tell he was genuinely disgusted by cherry pie and said he wished to God he'd never written it.

[@martymcpeak4748]

@@josephsagona76 Yes Sir, you could see the disgust in Jani's voice and see it on his face when he spoke about it.

[@zmbdog]

There was actually a bio pic planned on Jani called, no joke, "Cherry Pie Guy"! Thankfully it appears to be dead in the water, but how disrespectful. I'm sure the pic had good intentions and the title was supposed to be ironic but that just isn't the way to go imo.

[@stevepaterson7503]

I used to go to a bar that basically featured live bands all the time. Between the sets there were big monitors that played rock music videos. Whenever this video played everyone would stop what they were doing go silent and watch. That's how good this song and video are.

[@williameller7002]

I remember when this video was first show. On MTV

[@dawncarver5277]

I saw red by warrant I like his vocals in that song

[@andy60234]

I still remember the poem in this album jacket if I’m not mistaken I’m 54 so I might be wrong. “ This is to the girl in the little red shoes. She liked to party, she liked the booze. She lost her cherry, but that’s no si. Cause she still has the box her cherry came in.” Warrant is on the sound track of my teenage years. Saw them at Hammerjacks in Baltimore back in the day and heard them on wiyy 98 rock in the same city. Miss them days, but I am glad to have been alive during that time.

[@michele1491]

When this song kicks in, it’s everything!

[@joenewman6494]

One of their best songs excellent reaction from my two favorite reactors.🤘🤘🤘

[@cristianandreschacanazeped7454]

Amazing song!!! Amazing band. Next song we Will rock you ( cover queen) great cover of WARRANT.

[@mkaylor121]

I saw them live with firehouse in the early 90s and they put on one of the best performances ever.

[@pureheathen1720]

“Because we don’t want any bugs”. Cuts straight to opening shot of bug-filled swamp.🤣🤣

[@thenerveensemble7810]

Jani Lane was a criminally underrated song writer and musician. Doesn’t get enough credit. When he died in 2011 I felt a big part of me died. The music died a little for me as well. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was supposed to be the lead single and title of what became the Cherry Pie album. The record company forced Jani to write a “hit” song and Cherry Pie was written in 45 minutes. The album and single became Cherry Pie and the rest as they say is history. RIP Jani Lane.

[@poisonlady1965]

First time watching this reaction...nice! I think this is their best and most creative ever song!

[@jomabug76]

Warrants dog eat dog was way more creative and the song writing and vocals still sound fresh today ..hundred billion times better than cherry pie album by long way

[@davidransom4703]

one of the best music videos made period

[@ladyevil64]

Was never a huge Warrant fan, but my jaw hit the floor the first time I saw this video on MTV. Then we started hearing about how "Cherry Pie" was a last minute demand from their label. Jani was an amazing writer, and singer, who was dismissed because of that song. He had, also, revealed that he had been drugged and sexually assaulted by a very famous musician, and the musician's manager. He never really recovered emotionally from it. RIP. 🤘💖

[@robertspivey7596]

That famous musician you refer to was Rob Halford from Judas Priest according Bobbie Brown. He was allegedly drugged and assaulted while he was passed out

[@Nick-xs4om]

Parts were a true story. Grew up listening to warrant, one of my favorite

[@wassupinlasvegas9735]

Their follow-up album, Dog Eat Dog, was arguably their best though it came out just as grunge started to take off and didn't sell as well. The song "Andy Warhol Was Right" is well-worth a listen and very different on multiple levels; deep and thought provoking, beautiful but with one hell of a drop into heaviness.

[@suprchickn7745]

An absolutely brilliant and mostly unknown album!

[@dkmcbigsley]

Appreciate some love for Dog Eat Dog. GREAT album

[@davidstufflebean3285]

Dog eat Dog was so good! Record company forcing them to do Cherry Pie and Grunge coming killed them unfortunately.

[@ascendotuum9586]

The 80s were FILLED with musical juggernauts, period!

[@tooltastic2086]

Man..., I love hearing some Jani Lane.

[@bobbymcbay1586]

Same here, very underrated vocalist

[@bufordteejustice1119]

I saw them open up for Motley Crue in 1989. I was a freshman in high school and a bunch of us went. Great show . I wasn't a big fan of Warrant but they were good live. Thanks for sharing. Peace and love from Baltimore as always.

[@mikerobertson2402]

Jani was definitely the driving force in that band! Wrote great songs and had a one take voice in the studio. Dog Eat Dog was such a good album but never got the recognition it should have because of the timing if it's release. RIP Jani 🙏🤘

[@dkmcbigsley]

Probably my 2nd favorite Warrant song. They were underrated.

[@marce5581]

I Love warrant.. JANI.👍🤘👊🏼 Saudações de Curitiba-pr Brasil.🇧🇷🤘

[@rossw73]

Great band. My favorite song by them is Mr. Rainmaker, but this one is a close second.

[@kevinhampton6986]

There's a bunch of so-called hair bands that are very good...too bad some people dismiss them because of the image they portrayed back in the 80s

[@RolandDeschain1]

W.A.S.P. and Cinderella were amazing as well. But then you have crap like Poison becoming big and it taints the genre.f

[@mtaffer]

@@RolandDeschain1 I can't really crap on Poison that much. I actually saw them later on with Warrant and Kix and the whole show was just good fun and everyone was having a good time and that's what it's all about. Although I do remember the time CC Deville started doing a guitar solo and it went way to long and was essentially noise and droves of people were going to the bathroom or just trying to escape the noise...lol.

[@haps4273]

In the liner notes of my cassette tape of Cherry Pie, under the title of this song in brackets for the lyrics, Jani Lane wrote: To my dad, the greatest story teller in the world. I have always thought that was so cool. Check out Bed of Roses, Mr. Rainmaker and Song and Dance Man from this album too.

[@Charityf100]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@troysears2860]

I saw them play live in the late 80s mid 90s with Whitesnake, poison and slaughter. one of my favorite songs that i can relate to and was very personal for Jani Lane was i saw red.

[@discus1713]

My absolute favorite song by Warrant!

[@gregoriodecker2692]

Jani lanes brother played the acoustic intro on this song.. Jani gave an interview saying he hated being the cherry pie guy.. he was obviously under the influence , depressed or something.. he later said he didn't hate cherry pie and was grateful for writing it.. it was a hit after all. Warrant was a victim of timing.. they had 9 charting singles and they were only released in 89 a mere 2 years before the bottom dropped out for 80s metal.. watch warrant in Italy open for Pantera or slayer I don't recall.. you'll see them give a stellar performance live.. rocked up a little more than usual..I saw them 11 times live.. not 1 bad performance.. later on I've seen a couple less than great performances on video where Jani was obviously drunk.. but he hadn't lost his voice.. because I saw him after that sing very well again. Awesome writer, very good singer, great frontman .. and by most accounts a super nice guy

[@ten4thebguy]

one of my favorite songs from the 80s so underrated!

[@clubberlange4119]

The acoustic intro is okayed played by Jani’s brother… And in the liner notes his inclusion is courtesy of Jani’s mother

[@25shinedown]

Saw jani in baton rouge one time, tesla and warrant, it was amazing

[@irishinnish1]

For as long as I live, I'll never understand how Warrant could have a song this amazing on the same album as a song like "Cherry Pie."

[@joe8206]

The clowns at the record company wanted a catchy song they got cherry pie but this song is much better because of the overall musicianship. R I p Jani.

[@nitro_001newman2]

I got to meet Jani Lane at a party in Van Nuys is 1995. Sadly he passed away not far from Van Nuys, in a hotel in Woodland Hills.

haha my dad was best friends with the singer Jani Lange or his real name John Oswald, that accoustic guitar is played by his older brother Eric who I have met personally...they were from Canton, Ohio!!

[@kenbeckett8613]

They opened for Motley during a couple of stretches on the Feelgood tour. I was not looking forward to them. All I knew of Warrant was the DRFSR studio release. Well, they opened with " Big Talk", and blew us all away for 45 minutes. So much heavier and tighter live. They played this track and a couple more tunes that ended up on "Cherry Pie". They were pretty heavy tracks, with some great harmonies from Jani. I will always blame their record company for Janis death. That Cherry Pie bullshit compromised him as an artist, and he slowly drank himself to death as a result. Never one of my favorites, but man; they could tear it up live!! RIP Jani.

[@metalheadmike774]

Let me tell y'all a story from back in the day about this song. Well.. because I'm old and have LOTS of great stories...haha! I was in the Army in 1990 at Fort Hood Texas and my barracks roommate had an extra ticket for Motley Crue and Warrant. Didn't really care for either then but i went anyway. It was in Austin early on the Dr Feelgood tour. Well we got there late and Warrant was playing all the songs i didn't like because i was metalhead. Then, last song, they said they had a new song they hadn't released yet. Then they played THIS! I was like HOLY SHIT! Where did this come from. I can remember the entire arena erupted! It was insane. Needless to say i kinda started liking them after that moment...hahaha! When a band finally realizes what they can do. There ya go kids...old man story...hahaha! Thank you guys for doing this song. 🙂

[@therealmciver3761]

I'm a product of the 80's generation and this is one of the best tunes outta the hairband era

[@stephanieclark9849]

*Janie Lane had such an amazing voice. "Cherry Pie" was very gimmicky but got them noticed. You guys should check out "Blind Faith", "Mr. Rainmaker", "Sometimes She Cries", and "Heaven" (to start). They have a pretty kickass playlist. Unfortunately, bands like Warrant and Skid Row didn't get the credit they deserved at the time because cheesy glam bands were coming out of the woodwork and they were getting lumped in and perceived as just another one. Everyone praises them now but they were underappreciated back then.*

I believe that acoustic guitar part was played by Jani Lane's (singer) brother.

[@jeffbolton9699]

Sorry so long, Just subscribed, allow me to introduce myself, people call me Papa cuz I have a crap load of kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. I have been many things over the years, a musician being one. Started touring with my first band when I was 14 (country). The next 4 years exposed me to many worldly challenges (wine, women, and drugs), and by 18 my band had transformed to southern rock, (I also broke my back in a motorcycle accident that year). I got to spend the next 4 years living the dream, made a lot of friends, Uriah Heep, April Wine, Def Leppard, Ozzy, it was incredible. Met my first wife and got married, when my son was born I walked away to be the kind of father I had been taught to be. Fast forward 35-40 years, 6 kids, 9 grandkids, and 6 great grandkids later, I went back to my country roots, still do some pickin around, but spend my time driving a school bus and and trying to be the best Papa anyone would want. Keep having fun, all of you have such bright and unique qualities, rock on!!
