I'm pretty sure I've heard Warrant but have no recollection of anything that they have done.

I post this video not to praise Jani Lane, but to bury him.
If nothing else, it is an true achievement in un-subtlety.

A little context: 1990. This kind of music ruled the airwaves.
Nirvana released Nevermind in 1991, and killed this shit overnight.

You can say whatever you want about the Grunge phenomenon, but it drove a stake through the heart of cheesedog hair metal forever.
And for that I say thank Jesus for Grunge.

20 year old me would whole-heartedly agree with you

40 year old me would much rather be entertained by hair metal than anything associated with grunge.

No amount of forgetting or revision can get me to that point Pogue.

I still pull out Superfuzz Bigmuff once or twice a year. It's pretty ruling.

Most of that Seattle shit sounds dated. Cherry Pie will always be Cherry Pie. It's totally ok for music to just be fun, unless we're talking about Ugly Kid Joe, then it fucking sucks. My girlfriend when I was 16 fucked one of the dudes from Ugly Kid Joe. I've never gotten over that.

Imagine how bummed you would have been if you were in one of the last wave of hair metal bands, like Jackyl or Enuff Z'nuff.
Right when you were about to hit it big, Nirvana ate your lunch and it was off to the state fair circuit or worse.

My friend used to work at the Guitar Center in Chicago and Don Z'nuff used to come in all the time, in increasingly tattered zebra tights, smelling like junkie piss, selling off bits of pink and leopard-print gear for peanuts. He still plays around town from time to time. Poor dude.

I don't understand: what is this video trying to say?
