Listened To Badlands 1st & 2nd CD's & Jake E. Lee is INCREDI

[Robotechnology]

Listened to Badlands back to back again and as always I love Jake E. Lee's phrasing, bending, sense of timing, rhythm playing, artificial harmonics and ESPECIALLY his vibrato. He is such a total package, it is just not funny! Just had to start a Jake E. Lee appreciation thread.

it'll never happen, but i'd love to see an ozzy tour where the duties are divided between zakk and jake. Actually, I'd rather just see Jake, but in all fairness to Zakk..

I LOVE both of those albums. I need to pick them up again because unfortunately I have them both on CASSETTE

Always liked his Badlands stuff. Got to see them in Boston around '90/'91 I think. Honestly though I never liked his guitar tone that much for the Badlands material, even though I liked the songs a lot. Too squished, smaller than it should have been for more of a classic rock approach. His style has always been great. I love his playing on Ultimate Sin which also doesn't have the greatest guitar tone.

I saw Badlands at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park when they toured for Voodoo Highway. I was right up front getting blasted by 2 of Jakes Marshall stacks. It was one of the best shows in a club setting i have been to.

i love Badlands and saw them during the S/T tour. Personally, Voodoo Highway is their best release. I love the tunes quite a bit!

I used to cover Whiskey Dust off Voodoo Highway....I love that song so much....Killer writing.

 

[Scott Ians Beard]

I recently got these albums, they are both superb! What a band!

 

[Robotechnology]

You guys should also check out their third album, "Dusk." It rocks too!!!

Does it, I've heard the opposite about that release from a few people, that's why I don't own it. Full length?

 

[Superunknown]

The first record just smokes.......

 

[Gainfreak]

Winters call still give me the goosebumps when I hear it!! good stuff for sure!!


What I really want to hear that has never been leaked is the Blue Murder Demos with Ray singing!!!

I thought The Ultimate Sin was Brad Gillis? Jake played on Bark at the Moon.

Oh yes, Speak of the Devil. I got them mixed up. Thanks for the correction.

I got to open for Badlands on the VH tour. What a great experience. Jake was super cool and his playing was so incredible, it blew me away. I was a big Jake fan before that gig and a bigger one after. Not to mention that Ray died a few months after the show we played with them. That was a total shame, what a great singer.

edit: did I mention that my first born son is named Jake?
