“I give a lot of credit to 'Cherry Pie.' It has stood the test of time....” — Jani Lane Quote

I give a lot of credit to 'Cherry Pie.' It has stood the test of time. It's a little catchy. It's a little tongue-in-cheek. It is probably not the most complicated song I have ever written but to write a song that is used as a measuring stick for a genre of music.

Eventually, our kind of music, whether it's us or Motley or Poison of whoever, will define the 1980s. That's something to be proud of.

I play drums every chance I get. That's the love of my life.

Does '80s metal have the potential to come back as a kitschy, goofy subculture, sort of like disco? Sure. And that would be cool But there's never going to be a day when Warrant headlines the Giganto-Dome in every major city in America. Nobody intelligent expects that to happen.

You hear ten seconds of a song, and you know it's OutKast. There's a strangeness about it because it's catchy, but it's not just pop for the sake of pop. They're pushing the envelope.

What we're most known for is the catchy choruses and the big hooks.

My music is nostalgic. The early Neil Sedaka songs are always catchy and very singable.

The quality of a timeless song is that it's catchy, meaningful and relatable.

A lot of commercial country does speak to people in some way. It's more of a ear worm or a melody that's really catchy. That's something that you certainly want, but it's only one piece of the criteria for a good song.
