I guess that AquaNet all soaked into his head. Remember he was a drummer from the bay area and cut his teeth playing Mr T's Club 19 in a band called Dorian Grey. Hey Jani I guess having to pay for the pizza these days can make hard feelings go away and a reunion tour possible. What jackholes. I'm waiting for the Y&T reunion with special guests Kenny McGee and the Ass Clown Brigade It’s funny how I saw bloated fat ass Jani Lane on TV saying how he hates the song Cherry Pie, and wishes he had never recorded it.

All those years of excessive exposure to hair products combined with having their junk stuffed into leather pants with a shoe horn undoubtedly impaired their ability to read.

That's sweet. I didn't realize Warrant's fanbase reached fifth graders. Steve, are you insinuating that the musicians would beat me up if they saw what I wrote? That’s sweet.
