WARRANT Frontman JAIME ST. JAMES: 'I'm Better Now Than I've Ever Been With The Band'

Bring Back Glam recently conducted an interview with WARRANT frontman Jaime St. James. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:

Bring Back Glam: Let's talk about your new DVD. Give me a rundown of the project.

Jaime: OK, basically we decided sometime after recording the record — the "Born Again" disc — we ought to lay down some video stuff just to have it. We were kind of inspired by AC/DC, all the early stuff with Bon Scott, which is very cool. We'd just gotten that DVD, I think it's called "Family Jewels", and you know, we thought we ought to get something like that recorded, you know, just for the future. Then, you know, kinda got into it, and we started going crazy. So then we sort of did a video for every single song on the record. A lot of it's, you know, performance on a sound stage and then we just cut in all sorts of different stuff to try and make it interesting. It's pretty cool and there's a lot of behind the scenes footage. I mean, we did a lot of filming…in the studio, making the record, so we thought that was kind of interesting. Of course we also have the normal, goofing around on the road stuff and, you know, there's some interesting, cool stuff on there.

Bring Back Glam: Where were the live bits recorded?

Jaime: The live parts? Um…I believe several different shows. One of them, I know, was at Copper Mountain, Colorado and I think there was…one of the other ones was in California somewhere. Like around Fresno, I think. It's just all over the place, you know? (Laughs). We found some decent ones that had some cool footage so we decided to use that as well.

Bring Back Glam: I'm sure there are plenty of people still confused with the latest WARRANT line-up.

Jaime: The first year it was a little bit…hit or miss. A lot of people just didn't know, didn't understand what was going on. If you didn't go to our website or you didn't read articles, then you wouldn't know what's happening. At this point, most people know. I've said before, if they don't know that I'm singing for the band, they probably think I'm Jani Lane. A lot of people do, they just don't get it. They're around to hear "Cherry Pie" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and they're not paying attention to members of the band. For the most part…it's good. I'm better now than I've ever been with the band. At first, it was very difficult to sing 19, 20 songs that I've never sang before. That's a hard thing to get used to, but at this point, I feel real strong about it, and as long as I go out there and kick ass, it works.
