Warrant’s Jani Lane and Members of Great White to Start Beatles Tribute Band

With Jani Lane’s MO of late, are we going to witness drunken karaoke of Beatles songs or a straight-up, sober hair metal renditions of Beatles classics? Hopefully, the latter. That would make it worthwhile and interesting.

Besides Jani Lane (upper right), the band will consist of Jack Russell (center) and Michael Lardie (left) of Great White. They plan of releasing a Beatles tribute album and then tour. The name being tossed around is Revolution.

Russell tells the rock media:

“This is just another way for us to express our gratitude and to show where we come from. I was gonna be an archaeologist and then I heard the Beatles’ Help! album and I was like, `That’s it. I wanna be a rock star now.’”

Let’s see Jani get through the Warrant tour first. I’m still pulling for the guy. He’s drawn a lot of heat on himself; mostly because many people out there don’t understand nor have the patience for addiction.
