February 27, 2004

WARRANT bassist Jerry Dixon recently spoke to MusicMayhem.com about the departure of vocalist Jani Lane and the group's decision to carry on with new frontman Jaime St. James (of BLACK 'N BLUE fame). Asked what happened with Jani, Dixon said, "Well, he just decided to do his own thing, basically in a nutshell.. ya know and it really wasn't very shocking to us, he had done his solo record, he just has been itching to do his stuff for the last few years..and we got done with the WHITESNAKE tour and he wanted to do some more solo shows and we wanted to play WARRANT shows, and basically.. maybe we will hook up when he gets this out of his system."

Regarding the group's decision to keep the name WARRANT and continue with a new singer, Jerry said, "Well this is what we do, basically me and Erik started WARRANT and then we got Jani in the band, so it's kinda our band anyways.. the whole time, and there is no stopping for us.. it's kinda like our gig… and our job and what we do, what we wanna do. It's kinda hard when somebody doesn't want to be there.. you don't want them to be there… Go do your own thing.. ya know.. But we try and leave the door open and maybe one day rectify everything. But we're excited we have a new singer named Jaime.. believe it or not..hahaha.. how weird is that?!.. hahah.. but ya it's cool.. he fits right in." Read the rest of the interview here.
