Daily Boom 80's Throwback: L.A. Guns- 'The Ballad of Jayne'

Now she's breakin' hearts in heaven
Shinin' bright in the sky
I still hear her voice in the wind
I still think of you in the night, oh yeah
Well I guess you'll never know
How much I need her so

I was trying to find the perfect power ballad for this morning and this song by L.A. Guns came to mind. Back in 1989 "The Ballad of Jayne" caused many headbangers to pause for a moment and think about the lyrics. While the guys admitted that the song was originally a tribute to Hollywood icon, Jayne Mansfield, who was killed in a tragic accident, the lyrics resonated with just about everyone.

If you've ever lost anyone too soon then "The Ballad of Jayne" will hit a nerve. Phil Lewis' haunting vocal makes this one of the best ballads to come out of the 1980's. Plus it is pretty timeless. After taking a listen to "The Ballad of Jayne" for the first time in a while it occurred to me that it could have just been released yesterday. 

As for L.A. Guns, well they're still around playing shows here and there. I'm pretty sure that "The Ballad of Jayne" ends up being one of the best songs in their setlist to this day.

THAT WAS YESTERDAY: MEN IN MUSIC REWIND RELEASED ON OCTOBER 6, 2021 

Men in Rock Reflect on Lessons Learned and What Advice They Would Give to Their Younger Selves in Hindsight  

NEW YORK, NY -- DailyBOOM Media has released “That Was Yesterday: Men in Music Rewind” via Amazon and international distribution, on October 6, 2021.  

Veteran music journalist, Cate Meighan, handpicked fifteen rockers and asked them what advice they would give to their teenage selves now, with the obvious benefit of hindsight. What follows that question is fifteen unique stories of lives well lived and lessons that have been learned the hard way. Things like homelessness, sobriety, cancer, and bankruptcy are repeatedly met head-on with the determination to defy the odds and make a life for themselves onstage.  

Each of the artists included has been in the industry long enough to experience both the soaring highs and devastating lows a few times over before finally finding solid footing. The stories may be different but nearly everyone seems to share one core belief-  that music chose them, and not the other way around. 

“That Was Yesterday: Men in Music Rewind” includes: 

Eric Bazilian – The Hooters 

Steve Brown – Trixter / Tokyo Motor Fist 

Tom Gimbel – Ex-Foreigner 

Joel Hoekstra – Whitesnake 

Steve Lukather – Toto 

Ron Keel – Ron Keel Band 

Jeffrey Martinez 

Robin McAuley – MSG / Black Swan 

Jim Peterik – Ides of March / formerly of Survivor 

Jeff Pilson – Foreigner / Black Swan 

Mickey Thomas – Starship featuring Mickey Thomas 

Michael Sweet – Stryper 

Nick Van Eede – Cutting Crew 

Ace Von Johnson – L.A. Guns/Faster Pussycat 

Chip Z’Nuff – Enuff Z’Nuff 

"That Was Yesterday: Men in Music Rewind” is available now at Amazon:
