“HEAVEN” IS JUST A PHONE CALL AWAY

Jani Lane weighed approximately as much as the mother in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?, but he did appear to be relatively sober. Never before have I heard a lead singer so grateful to actually have a paying crowd there to see him; I think he thanked the crowd profusely in between each and every song, which might have cut into the set time a little, but kinda worked out since I don’t know if Warrant have a full hour’s worth of hits anyway (I’m assuming that there are few, if any, people who go to a Warrant show hoping to hear an “obscure” song that wasn’t once in heavy rotation on MTV).
Now the band’s power balled “Heaven” is being used in an AT&T commercial. I guess this could drive ticket sales for the band’s current reunion tour, but mostly, I imagine, it will provide each member with his biggest royalty check since Cherry Pie.
Check out the commercial below.

Axl, you may never ever make fun of anyone ever again for liking certain bands you find offensively unmetal. We may have to revoke your metal card.
Speak for yourself. I know there are TONS of us waiting on that Warrant’s Odds n’ Sods collection.
thats a cool phone though
This has to be the most disgraceful moment for Hair Metal since Mike Judge’s creation of the Stewart Stevenson character.
Nothing Wrong with a little Warrant love!! Uncle Toms Cabin was one bitchin song!!
Am I the only one who thinks a new Warrant album with the original lineup (along side the new Extreme, King’s X and Journey releases) would be a good thing in 2008? Dog Eat Dog rawked, rolled, and than some!
sorry, that should be ‘then’, not ‘than’…
