edjr 6,578 Posted August 12, 2011 Glam metal band Warrant lead singer Jani Lane was found dead yesterday in Los Angeles. Lane's body was discovered at the Comfort Inn in Woodland Hills. He was 47 years old. Lane (born John Kennedy Oswald, later changed to John Patrick Oswald) is survived by four children -- Taylar, Brittany, Madison and Ryan -- and his wife Kimberly, as well as his sisters Marcine, Michelle and Victoria. Lane lost his father, Robert Oswald, in 1994, and his mother, Eileen, passed in 2004. Lane is best known as the singer for the band Warrant, a rock band that rose to fame in the late-1980's and early 1990's. Their hits include the songs Heaven, Down Boys, and Cherry Pie. Lane quit the band in 1993, only to rejoin the following year. But he resigned once more in 2004, and was absent for four years before eventually returning again. That reunion lasted less than a year, before Lane's third and final departure from the band. Although there has been speculation this morning as to the cause of death, so far no information has been confirmed, and an investigation is ongoing. Those of us who came of age in the 1980's remember Warrant well, and remember Lane as an always friendly and cheerful face amid the otherwise grimacing visage of rock and metal at the time. He also exhibited a good sense of humor, and could be self-depreciating in an offhand and good-natured way. My condolences to his family and friends over their terrible loss.

NewbieJr 541 Posted August 12, 2011 While I do agree with your comment, it's funny that you promote your nephew's music on this board.

BunnysBastatrds 2,321 Posted August 12, 2011 I use to hang out at this rock-n-roll bar in Fat City called The Last Stop back in the day. It was a great place to drink and find heavy metal chicks to bang. Bands use to go to the bar after concerts and hang out with their fans. After a Motley Crue/Warrant concert, Jamie Lane and a few other members of the band showed up. Jamie Lane is the buggiest eyed fawker I have ever seen. Anyway, I go the bathroom and there's this huge badass biker standing over a toilet that somebody kicked in and put a long neck beer bottle over. He was wasted and trying to piss in the bottle. Jamie Lane walks in and jokingly says to the biker, "You aint a man if you can't fill that bottle. Ha Ha." The biker, in mid pee, picks him up like a rag doll and starts smashing him into the walls. So I leave and tell the bartender that bugface is getting his a$$ kicked in the bathroom. He comes out of the bathroom beaten and bloodied and they leave. A few nights later I was flipping around on the TV and Warrant was at the MTV Awards Show presenting an Awaed. Bug face has a huge blak eye and he's limping. A member of the band says "Wow, look at that eye!" He says "You should see the other guy!" and puts his fists up. RIP dooshbag. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
