Wow, only 47. I guess that's old in the world of Rock n Roll. (Unless you're the Rolling Stones).

Sad, very sad.

Although Warrant was not one of my favorite badns of that era/ genre I was a fan. I have seen them in concert 3 or 4 times and they certainly had an impact on the music of that time.

RIP Jani Lane.

And here I thought the age for dying rock/pop stars was 27.

Brian Jones
Janis Joplin
Jimi Hendrix
Jim Morrison
Kurt Cobain
Amy Winehouse.

47 is the new 27.

47 is the new 27.

How wrong is it that I chucked just a little bit when I read that?

That said, I always kind of liked some of Warrants tunes---secretly, that is. They weren't as cool as GNR or even Skid Row. And certainly they were laughable once grunge-rock came along. (I wouldn't have been caught listening to their music for many years due to this.) But at least they were better than Winger. And I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for "Down Boys", "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and, heck, even the acoustic version of "I Saw Red', because honestly who doesn't enjoy a good power ballad? May your soul be at peace, Jani Lane.
