Butch Walker - “Jani Lane was so talented. I watched the music industry pull him apart

Post by gtrjay »

Fun YT channel with interviews with some great guests including Harry Cody.

He interviewed Butch Walker last Dec 2024 and some fun stories. He dives deeper into sunset strip and talks about Tuff!

But his line about Jani Lane was raw and rough.

I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. These two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

That interview is 2 hours and 39 minutes long. If you want people to hear about Jani Lane, then you need to list some time stamps because otherwise nobody is going to sit through that long of an interview, and I like Butch!

-I’m not watching that.
-Jani Lane pulled himself apart.

Lot of guys crashed out after being famous or didn’t make it at all. 99% of them didn’t drink themselves to death. I mean hell, the other guys from Warrant are all going strong.

Everyone’s always looking to make excuses for someone famous being a fuck-off addict.

It's absolutely idiotic to contend Zep weren't A-listers in the 1970s.

This x1M!

Being famous, rich, a celebrity, or having some level of success is NOT the reason your life goes sideways!

There are many people, who fall into all of the above categories who lived a great live, and avoided the pitfalls of excess, or worse!

Similarly, there are tons of poor folks, failures in life, those who came up short of their goals and have no wealth, who also train-wrecked all on their own.
