2bitnogoodjive Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Warrant Rocker Jani Lane Found Dead in Los Angeles HotelToday 6:25 AM PDT by Bruna Nessif Warrant Rocker Jani Lane Found Dead in Los Angeles Hotel Jani Lane, the former lead singer of the band Warrant, was found dead in Los Angeles Thursday night. The '80s metal rock icon was just 47. Lane was found and pronounced dead by the fire department, who were responding to a call at the Woodland Hills Comfort Inn hotel just before 5:30 p.m. No cause of death has been released yet, and the case was handed over to the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office. Sadly, the rock star's later years had been plagued with alcohol-related problems, including his second DUI in as many years last spring. However, he leaves quite a musical legacy in his wake, as his first two seminal metal albums, including 1990's Cherry Pie, sold over 2 million copies each, both achieving double platinum status. RIP. http://www.eonline.com/news/warrant_rocker_jani_lane_found_dead_in/257697#ixzz1Up8e2Glw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bitnogoodjive Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Jani Lane: His Only Real Friend... That Killed Him in the End RIP by Sebastian Bach on Friday, August 12, 2011 at 6:53pm. People have been asking me about Jani Lane & I really don't know what to say. Picturing him by himself in a Comfort Inn in Woodland Hills with a bottle of vodka & a bottle of pills is so typical of what a rock musicians life actually is. It is a life marked by extremes. Extreme attention from people you don't know, while all the work & travel takes you away from those you actually do know. Playing to thousands of people & then going back to your hotel room & shutting the door. When the door shuts... the quiet is the exact opposite of the volume of the concert. The solitude of the empty hotel room becomes the diametric parallel of the adulation of strangers. For some, the bottle of vodka or whatever becomes a friend that is always there for you while others come & go. Yes I have felt these emotions myself. If you see me going head over heels over a girl, it's because all I have ever wanted is to have a girl to love & share my life with, & for the one I love to be with me wherever I'm at, travel with me to distant locales & stay in nice kick ass hotel suites & have fun & sing & dance & see the world. But so far this is a fantasy. Just like Jani, I spend most of my time alone in a hotel room dreaming of a girl I love who is somewhere else. I bet Jani Lane felt exactly what I feel. How could he not? I remember decades ago being invited to Janis house for a barbeque, which we went to. But Jani didn't show up. So I spent the afternoon with Janis dad cooking burgers & steaks & having a wonderful day with his family. My condolences to his family & especially Janis children who now only have memories of their dad to hold on to. That is truly heartbreaking. Let this be yet another lesson to tell someone some kind words sometimes... before it's too late... while they are still alive. I can guarantee Jani Lane would not have anticipated everyone coming out of the woodwork extolling the life & times of Jani Lane. Which is why he probably died alone. In a hotel room. With his only real friend...that killed him in the end. https://www.facebook.com/notes/sebastian-bach/jani-lane-his-only-real-friend-that-killed-him-in-the-end-rip/10150272689478347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
