+rstabler1 I totally feel ya. I SAW Jake back in the 80s when Oz was on the B.A.T. Moon concert tour. I had the cassette. haha I learned to play some of the riffs. IMO, Jake was seriously bad ass and I LOVE how he didn't at all try to copy Randy. I kind of feel sorry for him because Badlands was good but.... you know? And the fact he got reamed by Sharon on the album and made him sign a contract AFTER he had recorded it all saying he got no $ for album sales.... wow. Just low. My respect for Oz and Sharon is nil for that and how many other deals did they do? I hear she had parts recut for the Randy albums too just to remove the drummer and keyboardist from them. Anyway... poor Jake. He just doesn't look healthy to me.
by the way..the US FESTIVAL was coming up 1983..and was a launching pad for the new OZ album and the Crues SHOUT plus may other bands..VH's1984..on and on.. and there is no way they would have canceled that..so Jake had Sharon by the balls..I'm sure she has a pair hiding somewhere:)..but I do love her.. over 350,000 people..best advertisement you can get and they made a shitload of $$ remember listening to that on the radio..day after my birthday that's another reason Jake should of stood his ground my lil'grasshoppers!!!!
The intro to this song , with its clean tone and askew tuning . Reminds me of a quiet sentimental stroll down the chemical waste dump next to the industrial complex at the area far from city limits. shhhhhh!!!! jakey! Did you see that 3 headed mouse next to the mystery barrel?
Ive heard this drummer before in video clips here on TH-cam and he's good. Im quite sure it's because it was recorded by phone. Unfortunatly there are few clips here on TH-cam where RDC sounds good, but those clips that have great sound everyone can here that these guys can play and sing. In this clip you hear mostly Jake E Lee's guitar and the singer, but where´s the drummer or the bass player? Somewhere in the background, faaaaaar away...... :-/ :-/ #JakeELee #guitar #guitarist #guitarhero
Love Jake,but he seems to struggle with guitar parts that he played effortlessly in his Ozzy days. I agree with many people the band is not good enough. He needs a better singer and maybe keyboards to do the older material justice. It's good to see him back after so many years and I hope he sticks around.
I just watched his Rig Run Down and he admitted that he has arthritis now which would account for him not being able to play what he was able to during his 20's
I've been playing and teaching guitar for years. the note choices and innovations Jake came up with are on par with Van Halen or Hendrix. Randy did some great stuff, that's for sure. but his style was so heavily influenced with the classical melodies it made things to neat and predictable at times. the fact that(like Eddie) Jake studied piano at and early age made him think differently about his note choices. the fact is Zack can play the shit out of Randys stuff. but he doesn't come very close to what Jake did. to bad we didn't get another album with Jake in his prime
As a fellow guitar teacher I totally agree with this statement. Jake is one of my biggest influences. His knowledge about harmonies is superb and that made him stand out from everyone else. The guy deserves way more credit.
There is no such thing as , Zack is better or Randy ,or Jake is the best.Brad Gillis is also very good They're all really good. What you can say is what you , yourself like or fancy the most. Me , speaking just for meself, i like the first 4 albums. Thats the real spirit in Ozzy Osbourne, after the Ultimate Sin i lost intrest in this band and in Ozzy.
I know he has a much better lineup now (2019). He's a kind humble guy and I think it's hard for him to show anyone the door. Glad to see him performing and doing well. Lots and lots of fans worldwide he deservedly has.
Oddly, it is more difficult to sing Ozzy than Badlands. Ozzy's voice is in a weird register and is really unique. Unless you get an Ozzy impersinator its hard to cover ozzy songs because you are so used to ozzy's voice. He sounds pretty good on the badlands stuff and their originals.
I'm very glad,cause Jake still plays his original studio version's solo which he recorded about 40 years ago. He is truely a talented musician and guitarist.
Jake E Lee not at the top of his game here, but still sounds pretty damn good. Everyone complaining should reflect on the fact that this guy went MIA for decades. So we should be thankful that he's back out playing at least.
Sounds a hell of a lot better than that awful phone video aimed at Jake's speaker. People were saying he lost it, was drunk, when it was just a bad, distorted, cheap mic red lined from his speaker. The comments really angered me due to that lack if insight, it was so obvious. Glad Jake is has some higher caliber recordings coming out. No doubt one the best metal guitarist of all time.
Understand this, Jake did write the song, so he plays it properly. This is not to take anything away from Zakk Wylde. Honestly, it's like comparing apples and oranges. Zakk is talented in the way he plays, but I feel his abundance of harmonic squeals becomes a novelty. The phrasing in his solos sound great, but there is not an abundance of variety in them. Harmonics and squeals should be more accent and not the bones of a solo when it's fleshed out. But a ton of the commentors here don't actually play, so the words get lost on them. Lets just agree to disagree, Jake is great for his music, Zakk is great with his songs.
Yeah... Sharon and Ozzy really put the screws to Jake after he put the guitar work down for the album. He was too trusting to get the contract before putting out his ideas. And you're right.. harmonic squeals are nice once in a while but Zack really over uses them... too bad thoigh.. he really doesn't need to because he's actually a great player and under plays his solos in Ozzy tunes.
Agree! Bark at the Moon is more intricate to play then any song written by Zak. Even Zak doesn't cover the song accurately. Their are some riff which require wide stretches really difficult to duplicate!
its seems like just yesterday, but it was more like 30 years ago this summer i was standing in the front row watching Ozzy and Jake on the Bark at the Moon tour, Jake is a Guitar Hero for sure so happy to find this video thanks for posting!
People complaining, understand this is a shitty recording , the camera is recording the sound thru the air out by the audience , no direct mix off the PA ...so yeah, it's gonna sound thin, muddy and noisy . Even with a good mix from a board into the cam , a live recording is VERY difficult to sound like the album . If you don't play, or record, you're unaware of how much production goes into what you hear on a album , the instruments have precise mic placement on them, with isolation from room noise and ambient noise ...ambient reverberence from the room is sometimes let in (in a very controlled manner, and phase aligned) . A good band can sound very good live if 1: you're actually there 2: they have a good sound guy 3: a good PA system 4: a decent room . 5,6,7,8, ... If you've played out, then you know, some gigs/rooms just swallow up and muddy your sound . -----Just appreciate the opportunity to see Jake E . I'd rather see Jake E in a shitty room with bad sound and howard stern on vocals than see Zakk do pinch squealers and the same ole lifeless muff pentatonics recorded perfect . . .
Grunge killed the guitar hero. Emo screamo killed the fun. Long live Jake and all the other shredders that make us throw our fist in the air and yell "f*ck yeah!"
Everyone keep in mind he hadn't played this song in nearly thirty years (I met him shortly before his comeback effort, and he hadn't played much of anything for most of that time), and never thought he would play this particular song again... until it was demanded of him on this tour, so he had to re-learn it. I can relate to his fingers not being quite as flexible as they were at one time, and especially on the outro solo which he admitted is still quite difficult for him. But I don't think he needs the excuses anyway. He played great.... but yes, he needs a good tech.
Jake sounds great...bass player sounds right..for what i can hear of him..but the drummer is all wrong...sry dude...practice & play WITH the bassist or quit..coming from a bass player of over 40 years...
The bassist is Ronnie Mancuso from Beggars and Thieves. Jake E. Lee made a cameo appeareance in their video 'Come Undone' he then hired Mancuso as his bassist. He is a great producer and guitarist but he lacks the skill of being a real bassist. On Eddie Trunk he seemed quite fond of the singer tbh, maybe he just had a bad day here. But some comments... Dissing a good drummer because he's a lil younger is bullshit. I support Jake's efforts but he deserves to play w/ better musicians imo.
+Robin Hage This singer seems to struggle with pretty basic vocals. I can only imagine if he tried to sing something really hard how that would turn out.
Whenever I think of Jake being part-Japanese, I think of my former elementary school classmate, David Itchitushi. He was half-Jewish, half-Japanese. David told us that when he was born, his family held his bris at Benihana. (Ba-dump-bump!) O.K., kidding aside, would I be out of place here if I said that Jake could play with tem broken fingers and STILL outplay Zakk Wylde any day of the week? I'd hope not! (Love ya, Jake! Hope to run into you in Vegas someday soon!)
In My personal opinion, Jake was Ozzy's best player, and Badlands' first album was absolutely fantastic, but Jake's dropped the ball as of late and I just think he's never gonna get it back. Red Dragon Cartel is awful, underwhelming and boring, and mostly, due to Jake being lackluster anymore. The piss has been taken out of him, however, whenever it happened. Believe Me, I get no joy out of saying that. But it's 100% true. At one time, though, he was one of the greatest. Just try and get your mojo back, Jake...please.
Gotta appreciate Ozzy's uniqueness, I've seen people get closer to Geddy than anyone has to Ozzy. Poor Jake, he has to play these songs, a non verbal contract that gets him on these tours as a "Name" act. He may still enjoy it but it does not look like it. It was thirty/forty years ago. That flange killed The Ultimate Sin, that was my one peve with Jake, sometimes it' too much, he was using them correctly on Bark at the Moon, as effects, but on TUS he was using them as his sound. The first two Band Lands Albums are great, I don't think he uses any effects and there is only one part where if you walk in halfway you might think it was a Ozzy song because of the way the Lead builds. Other than that it's just LedZeppelin/LynardSkynrd, or Jakes Version of it. Kind of like Zack first solo Album.
legatou Jake was barred from a Black Sabbath show because he broke silence on what actually happened during the recording/contract signing for 'Bark At The Moon' and is not on speaking terms with the Osbourne camp - he wrote a large majority of the music on that record with Bob Daisley. He could've been sued for talking about it publicly, because the contract prohibited him to talk about it, but it basically said he had no rights to songwriting or publishing and if he didn't like it, he could go home and sue them. In short, he made Ozzy and Sharon look bad because he came out and told the truth - something fans wanted to know. It was kept buried for over 30 years, apart from when Ozzy admitted he had more input than what was originally recognized, but that didn't happen until the mid-late 90s. They also fired Jake for no good reason. Check out the interview Jake did with Eddie Trunk recently, it's extremely eye-opening :)
I agree...and I understand people getting pissed but still, going on and on about Ozzy this and Ozzy that hasn't gotten him anywhere. Forget Bark at the Moon, forget Ozzy and Sharon and build another career. And for god sake, get a real drummer and singer. Sorry for pissing you guys off.
RDC has a new vocalist now... can't wait to see them live. I've been a Jake fan since before his Ozzy days. I'm so glad to see him back out there touring.
How much did he "grow" after working with bob Daisley, we have Pre ozzy Randy footage, but none of Jake that I am aware of. Randy became a much better song writer in that little time between the Club video's of Quiet Riot and the Blizzard Album.
I’d like to see Jake, in his prime - he’s still outstanding here though - with Brucie Dickinson in his prime from Iron Maiden. I guess that Jake played with Dio at one time. I saw Dio during the “Holy Diver” tour with Vivian Campbell I believe. But Jake on guitar, Brucie on vocals, maybe Geddy Lee on bass, and Neil Peart on percussion. There’s a lineup right there. Oh, and Geddy sings backup vocals and maybe some lead. I’m thinking about keyboards still.
There is no such thing as , Zack is better or Randy ,or Jake is the best.Brad Gillis is also very good They're all really good. What you can say is what you , yourself like or fancy the most. Me , speaking just for meself, i like the first 5 albums.Blizzard/ Diary/ Speak of the Devil/Bark at The moon/ Ultimate Sin. Thats the real spirit in Ozzy Osbourne, after the Ultimate Sin i lost intrest in this band and in Ozzy
Jake E Lee playing his own tunes with a cut rate cover band. How sad. He is the S**t,but that singer raped the vocals without a kiss or grease be4 f****IMG it WAY UP! COME ON JAKE,YOU CAN BETTER!! From Ozzy,to Ray in Badlands,you went way down hill with this dude. Damn
Jake will do what he wants. He doesn’t care that much about the money- even though Sharon and Ozzy screwed him out of millions. He could continue practicing, sounding better and make a real comeback, but it’s doubtful he will. He obviously doesn’t want to be an 80s metal guy anymore. Look at that singer and the way he sings. Maybe a punk rock singer, but not an 80s metal guy. Even the drummer and his kit. Looks like a jazz kit- too small and not sounding like much. I believe the drummer is from where I’m from- Vancouver, Canada. There’s basically no 80s metal people here...
Just goes to show a bunch of nobodies 'backing up' Jake show how bad nobodies are, I feel sorry for him, these fools in his band haven't a clue, they certainly ARE NOT Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Aldridge, Bob Daisley, Randy Castillo etc these men I have mentioned are PROPER musicians
Sorry, think RDC is an OK band (glad to have Jake back), but this guy should never be allowed to another cover song EVER! This is the second cover I've heard him do and they are pitiful to put it as nicely as possible.
Perhaps the single most idiotiac thing Sharron and Ozzy have ever done was fire JEL. Saw him live on BATM tour in Detroit and Jake stole the show....hmmm....makes perfect sense now.
Seen this mistake too many times. You can't use a raspy voice on Ozzy tunes. Falsetto or if you got a light voice is best method. Hardest ozzy song to sing is flying high again. I do not look like a rock dude but can sing ozzylike no tomorrow. Especially the whole speak of the devil vinyl like a mirror. I look square though.
some get it most don't. Ozzy all on his own as far as voice.. cover band singer out there better. RDC plays original to Badlands to Ozzy. not many singers out there cover them all. Ralph Saenz aka Mike Starr Steel panther maybe.
The whole song is dragging badly- has no vibe. It’s hard to be the best musician in every room you’re in, but that’s Jake. Even his playing is sloppy. At his best, he had the right amount of looseness but this isn’t great
Freeking love Jake. I think he should get better players. None of these guys are even close to him. Could the drummer screw up any worse? Sounds like a high school cover band.
Jake is one of the MOST under rated guitar gods of all time.....someone please make a 2016 list and give this man some props!!
+mike boxler AGREED
He's not underrated he just doesn't make music people care about.
Nothing against these guys, but Jake is a legend and deserves a better band than this, seriously. Just my opinion.
+Chris J Yes my opinion too! Bark at the moon!
+Chris J I agree
I agree, that singer is shit
Hes better off with a backing track.
Agree with you, drummer is fine, but the singer and the bass player should be anybody with more resumé... Maybe they are cheap hahaha
Jake did okay but seriously, Johnny Depp on bass and Howard Stern on vocals? Cmon, man.
***** :)
+rstabler1 I totally feel ya. I SAW Jake back in the 80s when Oz was on the B.A.T. Moon concert tour. I had the cassette. haha I learned to play some of the riffs.

Anyway... poor Jake. He just doesn't look healthy to me.
+TruthSurge .......and Howard Stern on vocals''' . well, yeah :-)
+YnoT0207 hehe
+TruthSurge i thought that was Jeff Loomis on vocals!
Today is the day to respect. Life. To many of our friends have gone love for music is ever lasting. The Rebel
WOW JAKE tears it apart. Awesome
I miss Badlands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+paych GeRonimo More Voodoo Highway!
Same
Same 🤘
Jake's brilliant here, as always. The rest of the band's not worthy of him....their hearts aren't in it, man. He'd be a blast to play with.
Hands down fav guitarist
Hey look he sounds great, My son born in 2017 has the middle name Jake in his Honor. Jake, KEEP ROCKING
Nice!
by the way..the US FESTIVAL was coming up 1983..and was a launching pad for the new OZ album and the Crues SHOUT
plus may other bands..VH's1984..on and on..
and there is no way they would have canceled that..so Jake had Sharon by the balls..I'm sure she has a pair hiding somewhere:)..but I do love her..
over 350,000 people..best advertisement you can get and they made a shitload of $$
remember listening to that on the radio..day after my birthday
that's another reason Jake should of stood his ground
my lil'grasshoppers!!!!
The intro to this song , with its clean tone and askew tuning . Reminds me of a quiet sentimental stroll down the chemical waste dump next to the industrial complex at the area far from city limits. shhhhhh!!!! jakey! Did you see that 3 headed mouse next to the mystery barrel?
The singer is Darren Smith, the drummer for Harem Scarem. Great singer, great drummer. I love Mr. Lee, but he sounds kinda tired here.
jake rules...
never realized how far back on the bridge Jake picks, no wonder his strat has no front volume knob .
he has an unmistakable ripping attack for sure
One of the coolest guitar riffs ever begins in 1.58.
Ive heard this drummer before in video clips here on TH-cam and he's good. Im quite sure it's because it was recorded by phone. Unfortunatly there are few clips here on TH-cam where RDC sounds good, but those clips that have great sound everyone can here that these guys can play and sing.

The guitarist is great! Nice solo cover! Where does he come from ?!
It sounds better at the show...try it...its fun...
Not using his EVH 5153's ?? Just used the backline I guess for this show ???
Dollar Shave Club Actor on Drums is tearing it up .
loved this guy in kingpin and zombieland funny guy lmao
Get this a man a fucking band ffs!
Love Jake,but he seems to struggle with guitar parts that he played effortlessly in his Ozzy days. I agree with many people the band is not good enough.

Cover band with special guest Jake E. Lee everybody
Point taken. ..I guess time will tell.
The lead singer is Jeff Loomis with black hair...
Jake is THE MAN. Solid drummer. Shame about the other two...
5:44 wild
Rikki Rachtman on bass! fuckin' posuer.
he was better in the young age.
is that jake e lee or Bill Murray lmfao
The singer looks like Slash!
Jake played real good in this video. I can hear them from here saying, "I can't wait till we go to the buffet after the show."
omg jake where did u find these musicians?👎
Adan vald Contreras ha totally. tell santana to go back to guitar
Craigslist
I've been playing and teaching guitar for years. the note choices and innovations Jake came up with are on par with Van Halen or Hendrix. Randy did some great stuff, that's for sure. but his style was so heavily influenced with the classical melodies it made things to neat and predictable at times. the fact that(like Eddie) Jake studied piano at and early age made him think differently about his note choices. the fact is Zack can play the shit out of Randys stuff. but he doesn't come very close to what Jake did. to bad we didn't get another album with Jake in his prime
Zakk Wylde runs circles around this guy!
@@otemigo8158 that's why he plays Bark at the Moon the "easy way"?
lolololol
As a fellow guitar teacher I totally agree with this statement. Jake is one of my biggest influences. His knowledge about harmonies is superb and that made him stand out from everyone else. The guy deserves way more credit.
There is no such thing as , Zack is better or Randy ,or Jake is the best.Brad Gillis is also very good
They're all really good.
What you can say is what you , yourself like or fancy the most.
Me , speaking just for meself, i like the first 4 albums.
Thats the real spirit in Ozzy Osbourne, after the Ultimate Sin i lost intrest in this band and in Ozzy.
I know he has a much better lineup now (2019). He's a kind humble guy and I think it's hard for him to show anyone the door. Glad to see him performing and doing well. Lots and lots of fans worldwide he deservedly has.
Jake E Lee kicks ass,But I agree singers gotta go
Oddly, it is more difficult to sing Ozzy than Badlands. Ozzy's voice is in a weird register and is really unique. Unless you get an Ozzy impersinator its hard to cover ozzy songs because you are so used to ozzy's voice. He sounds pretty good on the badlands stuff and their originals.
Darren is staying fyi. Still in the band
Why? The singer is incredible. Hope he's still in the band 👍
Living in rays shadow is a difficult thing
I like Jake, the only complaint I had with his playing is he runs his guitar through so much shit his guitar sounds muddy at best most times.
Jake E. Lee. One of the true greats, nuff said. That solo.. Damn!!
The best guitarist for OZZY deserves a better band.
Randy was actually the best
Hell yes he does,,,
Lord Satan that Black Sabbath we’re talking about ozzy solo shit
RANDY RHOADS AND ALSO ZAKK IS WAY BETTER THAT JAKE BY A MILE
@@jumpybowl4743 by a mile. ? are you high. Stop exaggerating 🫏
I'm very glad,cause Jake still plays his original studio version's solo which he recorded about 40 years ago.
He is truely a talented musician and guitarist.
Damn I had to look it up though, your close enough it was released 1986 wow the memories
Jake E Lee not at the top of his game here, but still sounds pretty damn good. Everyone complaining should reflect on the fact that this guy went MIA for decades. So we should be thankful that he's back out playing at least.
the singer is really really bad.
He is actually quite good.
kenny Roberts Well not for this band or this style
I think you are wrong
I
I agree with Kuro. Not digging this dude at all.
Could of used more cowbell
Jake still has got it. Glad to see him making the rounds again and back on stage doing his art.
Unfortunately Jake is far away from his best days, and the singer sounds quite awful.
Sounds a hell of a lot better than that awful phone video aimed at Jake's speaker. People were saying he lost it, was drunk, when it was just a bad, distorted, cheap mic red lined from his speaker.

Gilleon Blevins Thx for your comment. Couldn't have said it better.
Agree dude. Jake explains his contract "issues" on the Eddie trunk podcast...wed 28 jam.. He had no rights to anything.
Gilleon Blevins I totally agree. In fact, I think Randhy and Jake created the best solos of Ozzy's discography.
Agree! Bark at the Moon is more intricate to play then any song written by Zak. Even Zak doesn't cover the song
accurately.
Their are some riff which require wide stretches really difficult to duplicate!
its seems like just yesterday, but it was more like 30 years ago this summer i was standing in the front row watching Ozzy and Jake on the Bark at the Moon tour, Jake is a Guitar Hero for sure so happy to find this video thanks for posting!
Did Jake pick this drummer and singer out of the crowd to play this gig? My god they are horrible.
That singer looks like Jeff Loomis.
far from it
i wonder who is that fat slut who cannot sing?
yesss he does
Jake will always be a GUITAR GOD! A true legend!!!
a new singer needed,, my ears are bleeding.. I could probably do better
NONONONONO VOCALS NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO
***** Definitely. Vocals are, well, it might as well be Meatloaf. Let old songs stay there.
The singer is gone.
+Jay Dobbins No surprise. Can't even sing a simple OZZY song lol

^this
I was at this show and the band had numerous technical difficulties as well. They had to halt proceedings a few times to correct equipment issues.
I didn't know Johnny Depp's stunt double played bass.
he cant sing
this singer is simply awful and Jake knows it
Grunge killed the guitar hero. Emo screamo killed the fun. Long live Jake and all the other shredders that make us throw our fist in the air and yell "f*ck yeah!"
Super group. Jake E.Lee, James Lomenzo on bass. Myles Kennedy on vocals, and Mike Bordin on drums......opinions??
come on ... screaming during the beginning of the solo ??
Jake E. Lee is a hard rock / metal guitar LEGEND!
Wow ...vocals are bad
I got to see these guys on the Monsters of Rock Cruise this past April and I loved see Jake E Lee the best!
Come on Man.......I get it, something to prove, less is more, but damn, I want to see DRUMS in a rock band. What's with the nothing kits anymore
Everyone keep in mind he hadn't played this song in nearly thirty years (I met him shortly before his comeback effort, and he hadn't played much of anything for most of that time), and never thought he would play this particular song again... until it was demanded of him on this tour, so he had to re-learn it. I can relate to his fingers not being quite as flexible as they were at one time, and especially on the outro solo which he admitted is still quite difficult for him.
But I don't think he needs the excuses anyway. He played great.... but yes, he needs a good tech.
what is the drummer doing?.... horrible!
except JEL, the others are pub musicians...
WTF is the guy in his pj's doing wandering around on the stage at the end of the show?
I don’t know who these other clowns are but that singer’s amazing.
Jake sounds great...bass player sounds right..for what i can hear of him..but the drummer is all wrong...sry dude...practice & play WITH the bassist or quit..coming from a bass player of over 40 years...
The bassist is Ronnie Mancuso from Beggars and Thieves. Jake E. Lee made a cameo appeareance in their video 'Come Undone' he then hired Mancuso as his bassist.

Gotta appreciate Ozzy's uniqueness, I've seen people get closer to Geddy than anyone has to Ozzy.
Poor Jake, he has to play these songs, a non verbal contract that gets him on these tours as a "Name" act. He may still enjoy it but it does not look like it. It was thirty/forty years ago.
That flange killed The Ultimate Sin, that was my one peve with Jake, sometimes it' too much, he was using them correctly on Bark at the Moon, as effects, but on TUS he was using them as his sound.
The first two Band Lands Albums are great, I don't think he uses any effects and there is only one part where if you walk in halfway you might think it was a Ozzy song because of the way the Lead builds. Other than that it's just LedZeppelin/LynardSkynrd, or Jakes Version of it. Kind of like Zack first solo Album.
Love Jake. always rocked as a guitarist! SO under rated, still sounds good with bad acoustics, BUT GEEZ, looks like they all just came from rehab!
That singer is even worse than Ozzy...
JAKE NEEDS TO GET BACK WITH OZZY !!!!!
that want happen ozzy and sharon hate jake
MrCROW111286 shit!!! why??
Mike Meyers No way Gus G is awesome!
legatou Jake was barred from a Black Sabbath show because he broke silence on what actually happened during the recording/contract signing for 'Bark At The Moon' and is not on speaking terms with the Osbourne camp - he wrote a large majority of the music on that record with Bob Daisley. He could've been sued for talking about it publicly, because the contract prohibited him to talk about it, but it basically said he had no rights to songwriting or publishing and if he didn't like it, he could go home and sue them.
In short, he made Ozzy and Sharon look bad because he came out and told the truth - something fans wanted to know. It was kept buried for over 30 years, apart from when Ozzy admitted he had more input than what was originally recognized, but that didn't happen until the mid-late 90s. They also fired Jake for no good reason.
Check out the interview Jake did with Eddie Trunk recently, it's extremely eye-opening :)
If the first RDC had been an Ozzy album he would have put Ozzy back on top. Just like he did with bark at the moon and ultimate sin.
I agree...and I understand people getting pissed but still, going on and on about Ozzy this and Ozzy that hasn't gotten him anywhere. Forget Bark at the Moon, forget Ozzy and Sharon and build another career. And for god sake, get a real drummer and singer. Sorry for pissing you guys off.
now, if we could get the stupid roady out from behind the guitar amps it would be a good show.
RDC has a new vocalist now... can't wait to see them live. I've been a Jake fan since before his Ozzy days. I'm so glad to see him back out there touring.
How much did he "grow" after working with bob Daisley, we have Pre ozzy Randy footage, but none of Jake that I am aware of. Randy became a much better song writer in that little time between the Club video's of Quiet Riot and the Blizzard Album.
Whose the vocalist of RDC now ?
I’d like to see Jake, in his prime - he’s still outstanding here though - with Brucie Dickinson in his prime from Iron Maiden. I guess that Jake played with Dio at one time. I saw Dio during the “Holy Diver” tour with Vivian Campbell I believe. But Jake on guitar, Brucie on vocals, maybe Geddy Lee on bass, and Neil Peart on percussion. There’s a lineup right there. Oh, and Geddy sings backup vocals and maybe some lead. I’m thinking about keyboards still.
This drummer is killing this song!!! That’s what’s throwing everything off! Not keeping a consistent beat it sucks really!!
There is no such thing as , Zack is better or Randy ,or Jake is the best.Brad Gillis is also very good
They're all really good.
What you can say is what you , yourself like or fancy the most.
Me , speaking just for meself, i like the first 5 albums.Blizzard/ Diary/ Speak of the Devil/Bark at The moon/ Ultimate Sin.
Thats the real spirit in Ozzy Osbourne, after the Ultimate Sin i lost intrest in this band and in Ozzy
Jake E Lee playing his own tunes with a cut rate cover band. How sad. He is the S**t,but that singer raped the vocals without a kiss or grease be4 f****IMG it WAY UP! COME ON JAKE,YOU CAN BETTER!! From Ozzy,to Ray in Badlands,you went way down hill with this dude. Damn
Jake will do what he wants. He doesn’t care that much about the money- even though Sharon and Ozzy screwed him out of millions.
He could continue practicing, sounding better and make a real comeback, but it’s doubtful he will. He obviously doesn’t want to be an 80s metal guy anymore. Look at that singer and the way he sings. Maybe a punk rock singer, but not an 80s metal guy. Even the drummer and his kit. Looks like a jazz kit- too small and not sounding like much. I believe the drummer is from where I’m from- Vancouver, Canada. There’s basically no 80s metal people here...
Just goes to show a bunch of nobodies 'backing up' Jake show how bad nobodies are, I feel sorry for him, these fools in his band haven't a clue, they certainly ARE NOT Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Aldridge, Bob Daisley, Randy Castillo etc these men I have mentioned are PROPER musicians
It's spelled Chris Broderick and IT IS NOT him. Darren James Smith is the Vocals for Red Dragon Cartel.
Sorry, think RDC is an OK band (glad to have Jake back), but this guy should never be allowed to another cover song EVER! This is the second cover I've heard him do and they are pitiful to put it as nicely as possible.
Perhaps the single most idiotiac thing Sharron and Ozzy have ever done was fire JEL. Saw him live on BATM tour in Detroit and Jake stole the show....hmmm....makes perfect sense now.
Ozzy was always about the guitarists and Jake was as good as any of them
Seen this mistake too many times. You can't use a raspy voice on Ozzy tunes. Falsetto or if you got a light voice is best method. Hardest ozzy song to sing is flying high again. I do not look like a rock dude but can sing ozzylike no tomorrow. Especially the whole speak of the devil vinyl like a mirror. I look square though.
some get it most don't. Ozzy all on his own as far as voice.. cover band singer out there better. RDC plays original to Badlands to Ozzy. not many singers out there cover them all. Ralph Saenz aka Mike Starr Steel panther maybe.
Geez Jake. What the fuck?
The whole song is dragging badly- has no vibe. It’s hard to be the best musician in every room you’re in, but that’s Jake. Even his playing is sloppy. At his best, he had the right amount of looseness but this isn’t great
Although Bark at the Moon was Jake's song, it sounds much better with Ozzy. But give credit to Jake, he was very underrated and Underappreciated.
man....Jake has really fallen....his band is mediocre at best....and his guitar sound is HORRENDOUS!
The singer BLOWS in RDC. Jake deserves better musicians around him than these queefs..
Freeking love Jake. I think he should get better players. None of these guys are even close to him. Could the drummer screw up any worse? Sounds like a high school cover band.
