I know :(

I'm so bummed about this. =[

Me as well. Definitely a HUGE influence on me. Massive loss for me.

that's horrible. i wasn't a fan, didn't even know of the band, but no one should pass away like that, alone in a hotel. this happens too often =[

DELB: I agree. The guy had his demons. He had been fighting them for a long time. He was finally on a good path and back to where he should be. And then this happens. And sadly, he had 2 kids that will now have to live with this loss as well.

"Sweet cherry piiieeeee"...

Fearless: Ironically...The song that Jani was MOST famous for was the ONLY song that he absolutely DETESTED. lol

He refused to play the song after he left the band and even went as far as signing royalties for the song directly over to his ex-wife to be administered to his kids.

I loved their ballad-y stuff - Heaven is still a big favourite.

Pagan: I liked Heaven a lot but my personal favs of the slow songs were the songs I Saw Red and the song Bitter Pill.

Uncle Tom's Cabin is still up top on my list of favorites - along with I Saw Red.

Amber: I always loved the Acoustic version of the I Saw Red song. Uncle Tom's Cabin was a great song.

I love that song... Its like a stripper song ;)
