Former WARRANT/QUIET RIOT Guitarist BILLY MORRIS Opens Coffee Shop In Ohio

August 21, 2010

According to The Plain Dealer, former WARRANT/QUIET RIOT guitarist Billy Morris has just opened the Breakfast Club Cafe in Berea, Ohio.

"It isn't a metal bar," said Morris. "It's going to appeal to college students, serve sandwiches and coffee — and we're going to host other kinds of performers, like comedians or cabarets or acoustic nights."

Regarding how he got the WARRANT gig and the five-year period that he spent touring with the band, Morris told The Plain Dealer, "I got a call from Jani Lane [former WARRANT singer and Akron native]. At first, I thought he wanted me to set up their guitars for them — but then he was like, 'No, we want you to play in the band.'"

"Funny thing, it was hardly wild or crazy," added Morris. "By this time, most of the guys were either married or had basically become businessmen.

"We'd play, pack up, do autographs and then head to the next city. Hair metal had become more of a job than an adventure."
