I absolutely miss the old zrock.
I remember when it was 1330 AM in my area.
Then it changed, moved to FM
Also later iterations, which contained The Captain. That dude was awesome. Very entertaining.

Fucking A! Some great memories listening to ZROCK on AM while it was on in Houston. I would listen to it at night before going to sleep and while getting ready for school. One night, I hear this heavy version of In A Gadda Da Vida come on and then Araya's voice kicks in...the movie Less Than Zero had just come out and I had no idea Slayer had done this cover for the soundtrack but that was what was great about it as none of the FM stations would play anything like that in those days, at least not in the Houston area. Great times.

love the sound of that JCM set to ear bleed. I tried for years to get that chirpy pick attack. Who knew a cranked Marshall was the secret sauce, lol.

I swear, Jake is a force of nature. I love hearing Badlands live, but the engineering on the records is really crappy IMO. I hate the sound of those records.
But damn, what a badass sledgehammer of a rock band in concert!
This the best sounding Badlands show I've had the pleasure of hearing. I'm big fan of Jake. The guys in the are fire on this gig.
The drummer is Jeff Martin, the vocalist for Racer X.
Thank you very much for posting this concert!

it’s the volume he played at that really fattened things up. hitting the speakers percussively hard takes juice so that the lows and mids naturally balance out the top end. the other byproduct is thick speaker cab resonance which makes single notes more fluety and responsive.
another master—show me a fatter dirty strat tone cause i can’t think of one

I bought a full quad of EVM-12L speakers around 2008 thinking they would sound like Jake's tone, I couldn't push them anywhere near hard enough in a 4x12 and had to give up and go back to my trusty 12H-30's............................

Same - with Red dragon cartel? He was pushing the EVH cabs. But he was louder in Badlands

I was sitting just off to the side of Jake's Amps and I could not hear out of my right ear (facing the amps) for 3 fricken days! Loud !!!

Yeah, Dreams In The Dark sounds like a Mono Recording..
It's still a great song tho..
The 1st 4 Songs on the 1st Album are Epic. If nobody has ever listened, they need to check it out.
I seen them in Detroit around 92 ish at the apex of Jakes hair. It was to his ass at that point. LOL

I was just going to mention he used EVM's, but it seems you already tried that. Are you saying that even with the amp cranked you couldn't get 'em cooking? Not that I'd be surprised...I bought a full quad of EVM-12L speakers around 2008 thinking they would sound like Jake's tone, I couldn't push them anywhere near hard enough in a 4x12 and had to give up and go back to my trusty 12H-30's............................

he was ridiculously loud with Ozzy too.
but not as loud as the Nuge.
that was a wall of dual showmans cranked wide open into power tube distortion. when his byrdland fed back it was like an ear missile.

My stage days were long behind me by the time I got them to try them out....... when I might actually have played loud enough to get them to sound less stiff/clincal.
