So cool when someone finds a gem like this. Jani looking and sounding great. Massively underrated and sadly missed.

[@javtimestwo]

Can someone share the genesis of this gig? The video quality is not the best but it appears a drum set has been set up behind=Jani was opening for another band?

[@melissadavis225]

Oh yes so true ,,,, RIP John aka Jani

[@jimmypotter4163]

@@javtimestwo Good question but I just can't imagine Jani being an opener but then again I did go to a small club in LA once to see Gary Hoey and turned out he opened for some group that was not good to say the least. They were playing some knd of modern day surf something, they sucked and Gary Hoey is awesome so...

Jani Lane was such an underrated talent. I love watching him sing. I wish he had known just how much he was loved and appreciated by all of us fans from the beginning to the end. RIP 💕

[@melissadavis225]

Amen to that From one fan to another, such kind words spoken about him , I agree completely , he was such a good soul and seemed like a really decent guy,,, battling and struggling is sad , I seen it in my family when I see him and being gone makes me , fight hard to end the cycle of this horrible awful 😢 that so many people struggling with if anyone reads this today struggling with anything don’t give up hope and don’t give up or give up we have a purpose, we have worth and value don’t give up reach out to someone don’t stop trying I’m living proof you can make a change or change yourself, first and foremost,,,

@@melissadavis225 Jani wasn't under rated back in the 80s he was one of the top guy's, hes 5 months younger than me and Died on my 48th birthday, in the day Warrant was a powerhouse!!

[@TranzparentMethods]

This is AMAZING!!! Jani Lane was one of the best songwriters ever. He also had a very distinct voice to match it, he sounded like NO ONE else. He sounded like himself. His voice makes me feel like a child again. I could fall asleep listening to him sing "Heaven". It's very lullaby-esque. The melody, the harmonies, the lyrics...

[@christinehuff1036]

Wow, he was a amazing song writer and singer💜💜🤘🤘 RIP Jani

[@jimlane9453]

Christine Huff, yes he was.

[@blackrecluse7334]

The emotion of this show, specifically, Jani singing 'I Saw Red', takes the song to another dimension of meaning. Thank you for posting such an intimate acoustic session. From only knowing the "Mass Culture" Warrant Hits, I truly now just realize what a talented performer, songwriter, and singer (that sang with ever fiber of his soul) Jani is, was, and always will be. My deepest respect to Jani and my sincerest apologies for not recognizing this earlier. My teenage years were spent with "Alternative" music aka Media labeled "Grunge" in the forefront of music culture. "Hair Metal" was on its way out. I always loved the song Heaven. I fondly recall as an 8 year old, watching Jani & Warrant on the 1990 American Music Awards, wondering why Jani had a black eye, but being mesmorized by the way Jani sang and seemed so in touch with the song. Turn the clock forward to 2019, it is a blessing to revisit an old friend, the comfort that is in Jani's voice, and the brilliant in both the songwriting, music structure, and harmonies. This side of "80's Hair/Glam Rock" should be shown in documentaries about Warrant and the Majority of bands from this era. The 80's rock scene appeared to have two souls, 1. The Rock Star; the light. hearted, fun, over-indulging, Sex, Drugs, Women, Rock & Roll lifestyle 2. The Soul Seeker; the antithesis of the Rock Star, instead an introspective vision of a man, looking to into the mirror of his own soul, catching a glimpse of eyes they once know. Writing & singing songs of retrospect, wisdom, loss, and heartache. Songs with thought provoking & sometimes darker lyrics, trying to find balance, similar to a child trying to find their way through the night. It is an honor to have music's past, as the current state of mass culture music is killing brain cells as I type. Thank you to singers/bands from the 80's like Warrant, and every other band/singer from the 50's to Present times that write and play with a passion and purpose. For your purpose has molded me into the person I am today..a person for without your music, likely wouldn't be in this world. To all musicians gone to soon, Bless You, Rest In Eternal Peace. In my opinion, we are one in the same. You wrote songs to convey the feelings perhaps couldn't be said in another context, directly correlating to the emotions I feel every time I listen these song. Music is my therapist, a constant reminder of memories good and bad, an infactuatuon turned addiction, some of my innermost feelings, and the ONLY way I ever am at peace, knowing I am NOT alone in this world. I am forever grateful for your wisdom, not being afraid to share your heart and soul with the world, even at the expense of your own well being. May you never forget the lives you changed, molded, touched and saved. For, Your Dedication, Your Music, and Your Souls will Forever Reign and Remain Eternally Immortal. 🎗 🎶🎗

Thank you so much for sharing this!!!!!!! Jani Lane was truly a PHENOMENAL song writer, SINGER and multi INSTRUMENTALIST!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved by so many of us and so heartfelt deeply sorely missed!!!!!!!! This performance by Jani Lane is worth more than the most precious stone in the world!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP JANI LANE 💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙

[@teresacowart1862]

Jani at his best.i could listen to this forever.jani made warrant

[@dad4ever-c90]

I was blessed to have seen Warrant perform as an opening act in 1990 and then Jani Lane again just a few years before he passed away. As much as I loved their songs and talent, I am sorry to say that I never fully appreciated how special Jani was as a song-writer until he was gone. I will always miss him.

[@notsosilentbob]

You are far from alone in your feelings.

[@jeffcarlsonband6915]

Jani was pure talent when he was on stsge...he is one of my all time heroes as far as voice and songwriting goes. You are missed more then you know....Respect!

[@orionbenjamin7484]

I miss u Jani....God bless u bro....I will Never forget!! I know where u been bro...and you knew where I had been....Like u said... "it's just a shot glass bro".......see ya on the better side of things.respect!

[@TranzparentMethods]

I had a chance to meet him around this time, my friend had all access passes and I was with my family, my grandparents. My Grannie passed away a month after I got the offer. It was in April 99, my Grannie passed in May. I turned it down because, even at 17, I knew life was fragile. My Dad died in November of 2000. That's when I REALLY got a taste of it. I digress, RIP JANI LANE.

[@melindaduncan3073]

Jani’s voice is so amazing! Rip and you aren’t suffering anymore.

[@rockermanpre747]

Iam a massive fan of Jani's music and his song writing set him apart from every other band and act out there. Jani Lane musically was a class act❤

[@eileensanford7038]

How can we get him inducted into the songwriters hall of fame?!?

[@nicholegardner3936]

Eileen Sanford I agree that is ware he belongs, warrant will never be as good as it was with Jani I don't even listen to the new warrant

[@orionbenjamin7484]

All I can say is Jani, could tear your soul out and hand it to ya! Amazing songwriter and even better man.He is deeply missed!!

[@synthvault]

There can't even be a remotely legitimate songwriters hall of fame if Janie Lane is not in it.

[@DeadShred9]

He was a better song writer then Singer and hes a fucking very good Singer . I have a story of getting to hang out and Party with him back in 1991 but it's to long to tell . I will just say he had no Ego and was probably the nicest of all the Famous musicians from the entire 80's I met . God Bless ya Jani hope your at Peace !!

[@SkyblueHippie]

Watching this video is making me very sad.. Good bye, Jani. You'll always be my fave glamrock vocalist.

[@patrickreeves4650]

The talent pouring out of him in this video makes me so sad. So much talent, so many great songs, and its all gone. Here we are 12 years after his death, and there isn't a single band or songwriter of this era who matched his skill level. Its such a shame that we haven't gotten to hear the unreleased archives he had. I know we can get demos and leaks off of youtube, but to have a good studio version of Fingerprints, Salt Water, or Changes would be awesome.

[@danni3074]

Many remember him as the "Cherry Pie guy". Such a shame because is was so, so much more. He was extremely talented with a completely angelic voice. One of my favorite voices ever.
