    RIP Ray Gillen one of the best true singers ever of any genre. I got a little misty eyed watching that video. RIP Criss Oliva too. Kids today should watch that clip and see what it was like when musicians were the real deal, not some autotune, robotic sounding generic crap like most bands today.

    Two of the greatest voices ever... Jon Oliva and Ray Gillen... And what a sad year 1993 must have been... I hadn't been born yet, but losing both Criss and Ray that year (not to mention my beloved Frank Zappa) was a huge blow.

      I had Voodoo Highway when it came out and I was not into it. It was too weak because I was into the heavier stuff. Got into Badlands 2 weeks ago. I am also liking Sun Red Sun. I didn't even know or had forgotten he died. That really bites!!

      @mgdarenz 5 років тому +3

      Yeah, that energy has never been equaled. I saw that tour twice in the summer of 1990. Both shows in Seattle. Saw them in June, and then they came back again in August, strangely enough. Probably just before or after this show. The first show, in June, is still the most magical performance I have ever seen. They were on fire. Met Jon, sitting alone at the end of the dark, seedy bar, at the first show, and Criss came up to me to chat at the second show, as I was standing behind the tiny stage entrance, looking at his Jackson Soloist and other guitars on their stands. Super nice guy, and one of the best to ever play the instrument.

    This was not recorded at Jezebels, but on May 4, 1990 at the Celebrity Theater in Anaheim. The gig at Jezebel's, also in Anaheim, was four months later on Aug 26, 1990. I am honored to have seen both shows, which were very different from each other. The Celeb Theater show was almost like a small festival, in a fairly large venue with numerous bands (one of which was Dangerous Toys, and I think Testament was also on the bill), while Jezebel's was small club. Both shows kicked ass.

      +tink ie He knew. Eric Singer, the band's former drummer and signatory, said in "Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath," that Ray refused to take an AIDS test for a life insurance policy that the record company wanted him to get. Eric was in the band from 1988 til 1990. Greg Chaisson (on bass) has commented that Ray was always prone to sickness in the band--that when they first started touring, Ray could not do a tour with AC/DC cause of several-month-long case of pneumonia. I'm sure he went to the doctor for that! (so that was 1988-89, I'm guessing--before this 1990 stint here).
