Warrant SUCKED.

Comfort Inn hotel?

It was the second hand smoke and weak coffee that did him in.

I agree. The "music" of today with Katy Perry and such is far more vacuous than disco. Disco actually had some great performances.

The Bee Gees, Brick, Heatwave, The Commodores and the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack will be remembered and and played long after Katy Perry and her ilk are forgotten. Anyone heard Gwen Stefani lately aside from lipstick commercials?

Donut gets you a dollar it was a cocaine-related heart attack.

A great picture, and a beautiful couple. Very sad. RIP.

In 1991, he married model actress Bobbie Brown, who had appeared in the famous “Cherry Pie” video. The couple had one child together, a daughter, before divorcing in 1993.

People hated disco for the same reason they hate hip hop: it wasn’t “authentic” because it was created for DJs and not for sweaty arena performances, and because it tore up the charts and relegated most of the rock bands of the time to commercial irrelevance.

That’s her. She was smoking hot in that video.

Sad news. I saw him once in a store in Akron. A hometown boy, but his lifestyle caught up with him.

I enjoy Warrant.

[Red Badger]

He married her.............

I heard a story this morning that Jani hated that song, and that it wasn’t even going to be on the album, until the record company told Warrant they didn’t hear a single, so he quickly wrote the song, and the band forever became linked to it.

Can’t say I blame him for feeling that way.

[RockinRight]

Excellent tune. Warrant is very underrated IMHO.

[RockinRight]

Good point...I never made that connection when I’d heard his real name before. He was born 3 months after Kennedy’s death. Almost like his parents had a sick sense of humor or something.

[RockinRight]

I believe he’d long since blown the money he made during their heyday.

I don’t get the hate of the hair bands. Some were pretty bad, but most of them at least were good instrumentalists and had a stage presence. Warrant was pretty good, but the “late” hair bands were generally less talented than the “early” ones like Motley Crue, Ratt, and Dokken.
