Each time I hear Jani sing this song it brings tears streaming down my face... I was 3 years younger than Jani but especially in the late 80's & early 90's I thought he hung the moon & stars, & truly believed there was nothing on earth he could not do... I had the privilege of seeing Warrant in concert in 1991 when I was 24 & knew EVERYTHING !!! I also had another occasion I was able to say "Hey" to this LEGEND, & got a handshake/hug it was incredible & something I will NEVER forget !!! I was at the time trying to work through losing my mother & this man, this poet, hell this genius gave us all this song, which ended up playing a pivotal role in my healing process... I will be FOREVER GRATEFUL for Jani Lane (May you rest in peace & party with the other GREAT ARTISTS who have gone before you my friend) but I will always cry over this song because it gave me courage again after losing my mom, & then it totally broke my heart when I played it for Jani after we lost him... I believe I will see you once again when it is my turn to leave this earth & I hope I get to talk to you a lot longer Jani & convey to you just how much you did for me while I was growing up... I mean I feel like I grew up WITH Jani, cause I was so stuck on Warrant that they needed to put me into rehab to get them out of my system... I listened to all the hot bands that were rockin it right in the 80's & 90's but Warrant was ALWAYS in my #1 slot... It was Jani Lane that was wallpapered in any & all empty spaces on my wall in my bedroom, I bought every magazine, every poster I could find, hell I still have my collection of Jani Lane "Rock Cards" I can't even try to lie & say I was not HOTT for his bod, I mean COME ON ALREADY, but it really was MORE than that, WAY MORE !!! his WORDS to so many of the songs he gave all of us fans mirrored things which happened in my life & I lived vicariously through him by following his career & what was happening with him... I married a long haired rocker type (not famous of course, but a damn good guitarist) & he shared in my love of the words that flowed through the songs, we had a week long honeymoon, & we jammed to Jani the entire week, alone, having a great time, Jani's music made Warrant what they were in their heyday, & that is not taking a damn thing away from the others because Erik, Jerry, Joey & Steven are ALL legends, AWESOME MUSICIANS all the way around, & the band did what they had to, to carry on, when the beasts began & continued to take this man a little more away from all of us over time, & when it got impossible to help Jani, they still cared about what was happening to their friend of so many years... & they needed to make some decisions about who would fill that spot (such a monumental task) & I am not taking ANYTHING away from Jaime St James OR Robert Mason by saying this, because they are also both AWESOME in their own rights, & I have seen & heard much from both before & during their time with Warrant, but THEY SHOULD NEVER BE COMPARED to Jani, I think he would have hated that concept... I think we should enjoy what others give us when bands we love move along & change in time, love the new additions, BUT respect the space they are trying to cover, because in all truth NOBODY will EVER fill the shoes of Jani Lane, they broke the mold when they made him, & now Heaven has him back, & we will NEVER see that exact talent ever again from any artist... I am happy for Jani he is back with his dad & mom & mine too, & I hope when my turn arrives I am welcomed into Heaven with this song playing because that would be the most perfect way I can think of to leave this world... Back to watch it again now, & THANK YOU SO MUCH to Bootleg Video Funhouse for posting this video... YOU F'KN ROCK !!!I am thankful that once we have an artist like Jani recorded, we have a part of them FOREVER... Swing It Jani !!!
