I remember him looking awful on Celebrity Fit Club back in 2005. Sucks when deaths like this aren't a real "shocker" and people have problems they might not have been able to overcome. RIP Jani.

they would have a much better legacy if it wasn't for that one fucking song. Seriously Uncle Tom's Cabin is one of the best songs of the 80s.

I imagine this is about his worst fear. Having to be recognized in death as the 'Cherry Pie' guy. I know Warrant was a hair band, but they did write some awesome songs. Go listen to Bed of Roses or Let It Rain.

Warrant had some great songs back in the late 80's/early 90's.

Uncle Tom's Cabin and Down Boys are probably my favourite Warrant songs.

BigHans

Uncle Toms Cabin is easily their best song.

After that I would probably put in: Down Boys, Let it Rain, Mr Rainmaker, I Saw Red, 32 Pennies, DRFSR, Bed of Roses, and Heaven

"because that's all his legacy became in the end."

Yeah but it got him some fame/money that he wouldn't have received otherwise.
