8/24: RIP JANET RAINS, ALICE COOPER, DEEP PURPLE, BRIAN SLAGEL, NEW PODCAST

More tragic news from the Adrenaline Mob accident yesterday when it was announced the bands road manager Janet Rains (AKA Jane Train) passed away due to her injuries. My understanding is she was badly burned and had been fighting for her life ever since the horrific crash. A knew Janet many years ago. She was on the NJ club rock scene and had a band called Little Sister I would often see playing around the area and opening many shows. She was a talented singer and nice person and had a huge passion for rock. I hadn’t seen or spoken to her in a number of years, and wasn’t even aware of the “Jane Train” nick name. But I certainly did know her and remember her band. Another very very sad loss. Janet was just beginning a career working on a rock road crew. She will be missed and my condolences to her family and friends and the Amob crew. RIP Janet.

  1. I love Brian Slagel’s Metal Blade Records. So many of the bands and musicians I enjoy made their debuts on the label’s early Metal Massacre compilation series. If it wasn’t for the compilation series, there are many bands that I may never have discovered. While some went on to some level of success, many did not…Warlord was the one band I thought should have had greater success.
