Career

Lane joined the band Cyren after high school, with singer Skip Hammonds, guitarist John Weakland, bassist Don Hoover (and later Rusty Fohner) as the drummer and vocalist. Many of Cyren's shows were opened for a well-known local band named Risqué. When Lane's bassist, Al Collins, noticed Lane's singing abilities, he convinced Lane to form a new band, eventually named Dorian Gray. Steven Chamberlin on drums and Dave Chamberlin on lead guitar also joined the band. Dorian Gray was supposed to have Lane as the lead vocalist and perform original material, but Lane wasn't keen to be the lead singer and was quickly returned to the drum kit. Billy Denmead was hired as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist. Collins left the band after only a few performances, promising to put a band together when Lane was supposed to be a lead vocalist.

Lane and Dorian Gray married in 1983 in Florida. He formed Plain Jane with Collins and Chamberlin, adopting the stage name "Jani Lane" later in the year (Chamberlin will also rechristen himself Steven Sweet). He took the name "Jani" from his German grandparents, who spelled his name "Jani" and pronounced it "Yay-nee." Lane began vocal training with singer/trainer Ron Feldmann, who introduced him to Creative Engineering, Inc. in Orlando. Lane served as a programmer for the animated character Dook LaRue, the drummer for The Rock-afire Explosion. He made his vocal debut at The Station in Fern Park, Florida.

At their rented house in Winter Park, Florida, Lane, Collins, and Chamberlin performed the first Plain Jane four-track demos. Despite being unable to leave Florida, the couple rented a trailer in the spring of 1984 and migrated to California in the hopes of securing a record deal. By the time they landed at the Hollywood Bowl Motel, they were broke and resorted to making sandwiches with mustard packets while taking turns calling their parents for money.

Lane resorted to working in a pornographic video factory after struggling to make ends meet as a musician. The band, along with a new road crew and a few girlfriends, pooled their funds and lived in a two-bedroom condo rented by new Plain Jane guitarist Paul Noble. At one time, there were 13 people in the crowded space at any one time.

Plain Jane had established Plain Jane as a regular fixture on Los Angeles' club circuit by 1985 and had performed many shows for the Warrant band. Plain Jane's bassist and guitarist both left the band on the same day as Warrant's singer and drummer quit on the same day. Plain Jane's songwriting and vocal appearance impressed him, and he invited Lane and Sweet to jam with his band at Hollywood's db Sound in September 1986. Erik Turner, who founded Warrant in July 1984, was captivated by his band's appearance.

Warrant began to attract record labels after gaining notoriety on the club circuit. The band signed with Columbia Records following an abortive contract with A&M Records over a piece to Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure's soundtrack. Warrant and General Tom Hulett, who is best known for consulting with The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, The Moody Blues, and others, was involved in the Columbia contract. Prior to Hulett's death from cancer in 1993, Hulett was Lane's mentor and mentor until Hulett's death from cancer.

Lane, the band's 1989 debut double platinum album, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich's, contained all of the band's 1989 hit songs: "Down Boys," "Sometimes She Cries," "Big Talk," and "Mading." "Heaven" is a hit on Billboard's Hot 100. The album reached its high point at no. On The Billboard 200. Lane also wrote four Top 40 hit singles ("Cherry Pie," "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and "Blind Faith") for the second album, the 1990 double platinum Cherry Pie, which reached no. Billboard 200 is on page 7. In the 1992 film Gladiator, Lane co-wrote and performed with Warrant the song "The Power." Warrant's second album, Dog Eat Dog, debuted in 1992, when the company's peak was achieved at no. On the Billboard 200, 25 people have been ranked 25th.

Lane left Warrant in 1993 to pursue a solo career. He returned six months later, helping the band record a new high with CMC International's Tom Lipsky. Warrant released Ultraphobic in 1995, Belly to Belly in 1996, the first & New in 1999, and Under the Influence, a 2001 compilation.

Lane left Warrant again in 2004 due to personal and company conflicts. The William Morris Agency, the band's representative, published a new photograph of Lane prominently in January 2008, announcing his return to the band. It was the first time that all original members had been in the band since 1993. In May 2008 in Nashville, Tennessee, the band's first show with all original members was held. Warrant put on a number of shows during the summer of 2008, but the band and Lane decided not to proceed separately due to "too much water under the bridge." Warrant and Lane performed Lane's compositions live, and Lane continued to write for himself and other artists.

Lane began acting in the early 1990s. In 1991, he made a brief appearance in Caged Fear and appeared in High Strunge.

Lane began working on his first solo project in 1993. The album, titled "Jabberwocky," represented a significant musical departure from previous work. Demos of Lane's solo material appeared on the internet between 1997 and 2000, with some on eBay selling for $100 per copy. Lane's first solo album, "Jabberwocky" was postponed until 2002, but he announced a new one as his first solo album. The "Jabberwocky" project was unveiled.

Back Down to One, Lane's debut solo album on Z Records and in the United States on Immortal/Sidewinder Records, was released on June 17, 2003. It had a "power pop" sound more in tune with Warrant's sound than "Jabberwocky." Lane was admitted to a drug and opioid rehab center shortly after the album's release.

Lane deviated from the Bad Boys of Metal tour in August 2004, after only eight performances.

Lane performed lead vocals for Billy McCarthy's "The Devil of Shakespeare," a new book from a book, as well as James Young of Styx, Ron Flynt of 20/20 and Enuff Z'Nuff.

Lane became a fan favorite on the hit VH1 series Celebrity Fit Club 2. His alcohol use was emphasized, and many viewers applauded his attempts to recover.

Lane tried to recreate his Warrant version with the reissue and US release of "Back Down to One" in 2006. Although Lane's "Back to One" was credited as a solo artist, he formed "Jani Lane's Warrant," a new touring band. Former bandmates who protested the use of the Warrant logo on his posters prevented the band's first shows in Michigan. Lane then continued touring without the Warrant name and logo.

During the 2000s, Lane lent his vocals to several tribute CDs. In 2007, he released "Photograph," a solo cover album containing a set of his tribute contributions.

"The One That Got Away" is Keri Kelli and Lane's song "The One That Got Away" was written for Alice Cooper. Cooper's album Along Came a Spider was released in 2008. Lane also completed work on Saints of the Underground, which featured Kelli and Bobby Blotzer and Robbie Crane (both from Ratt). Love the Sin, Hate the Sinner was released by Warrior Records on April 22, 2008, and was mixed by producer/engineer Andy Johns, who had worked with The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. Chuck Wright's album included additional bass work (Quiet Riot, House of Lords). When the band released their first two promo singles, "Bruised" and "Exit," they were originally named "Angel City Outlaws."

Lane toured with Great White in summer 2010, filling in for singer Jack Russell, who was recovering from surgery after suffering internal problems after suffering internal problems.
