Warrant in 1991 - Warrant in 1995

1991 - Lafayette, Louisiana. Blood, Sweat and Beers Tour - l watched the tour live opening night in Bismarck, ND and the vibe was the same. Palpable. Crowd was pumped and the band’s were working hard. Sometimes l forget how solid Jani was as a singer. Had a great range. When l was a young teen, I thought many other singers were better. Watching this video, you would think the band would assume this popularity would last forever.

1995 - New York - Ultraphobic Tour. By the sounds of the crowd this is a club show (not certain where exactly.) Band is still employing a keyboard player, Jani is sounding good per usual. Some member changes by this point. Did the others leave by choice or were they on the chopping block to reduce cost? The decline had to be really something for a lot of these bigger groups who had huge success 4 years earlier, working arenas. Playing clubs, low turnout and trying to keep expenses down. Did Warrant have an opener on the Ultraphobic Tou?

I never thought Jani was very good live. I enjoyed CJ Snare and Pete MAGA Loran on Blood, Sweat and Beers more than I did Jani. I enjoyed Firehouse and Trixter live more than I did Warrant. I’ve never understood the fainting and fawning over Jani on here.


I kinda thought Jani was a piece of shit when he let Steven Sweet go. I’ve enjoyed the band more with Steven and Joey back than I did when Jani was leading the band of scabs for all those years.
