Yeah I I think I remember him saying in an interview that Ozzie would be on these alcohol binges and go to his hotel room at three in the morning and demand that he get up in start collaborating on music.
@@frivovovovolhlhlh Ozzy was one of the luckiest guys of all time, he didn't sing well, he didn't compose, he didn't understand jack sh*t about music and yet he only worked with the best musicians in the world at his time. The success of his solo career is because of those amazing artists.
Yea.... great voice and an amazing performer. But he was sick and knew it, even denied it in a meeting with Paul O'Neill and the guys at WEA. He fucked the band, and God only knows how many groupies he gave it to.
genius guitarist,who is free from ozz and Sharon's grasp and abuse,he can now fly the way he wanted,in the end it worked out till his genius singer passed
I met Ray Gillen in '92 i think at a Badlands show in the uk , such a lovely guy and i was shocked that he passed away. Jake e Lee was also a really nice guy and a great great talent...
Total powerhouse band. Saw them twice in the late 80s early 90s and they are still one of the best shows I have seen (and I have seen hundreds of shows)...everyone was a top notch player. They should have been massive. The timing in the music industry was all wrong for them. Their albums are classic.
This was such a perfect storm & a magical band, unfortunately it was @ the end of the 80's rock era & they did not get the support from their record label that they should have. Many lesser talented bands got more support from their label & got more recognition than they deserved. Long live Badlands ! RIP Ray Gillen
I had read that they had one of the biggest pressings of CD's on the expectation that the release was gonna be huge and it wasn't. Got to see them twice once in a tiny stage at riverfest in St.Paul and u could literally touch the stage wich was amazing & once on a bigger stage when they was touring with Tesla & Great white when Jake had the leg cast. R.I.P. Ray but the knowledge that he was supposedly a super spreader of HIV was very disheartening. R.I.P. Badlands
I am so happy I had the opportunity to see badlands . I just feel like that was such a golden time. I hope to see jake e lee again I missed the red dragon cartel tour. So hopefully he be able to tour more he is so incredible and amazing guitarist.rip to the singer of badlands so sorry for the loss.
Kick ass video!! Takes me back in the day when Badlands was tearing it up. Saw them live a few times and was blown away by Jake's playing, which seemed to be even more shredacious than his Ozzy stuff. Thank you!! Cheers! \m/ \m/
You can tell Jake was not only surprised by the Ozzy firing but was a little emotional about how the whole thing went down and he has a slight moment here in the beginning of this interview when he talks about it where you can see him holding back on how he really felt about that whole ending with Ozzy. I personally never bought an Ozzy album after Jake left and always thought Ozzy was second rate sellout rock music from that point on which he obviously became and still is to this day. Jake's Badlands stuff was way better to listen to and I bought both those Badlands albums and still follow Jake up to today with RDC.
I've always loved Jake's playing & his technique. And have a great respect for him, especially after having to follow Randy. I didn't think that after Randy, anyone would be able to fit in with OZZY, then I got to see him live from the third row. He was absofuckinglutely Incredible!!!!! Now watching this, and hearing him actually say he was fired by OZZY, and not be an asshole about that, because most players would've had something derogatory to say about that, but Jake didn't go there. This makes me respect him that much more! Hope to see him again in the future.
Wow, clearly a very humble, and shy man. He's certainly not your typical rock-star, looks so uncomfortable in front of camera. I also didn't realize how much the Ozzy sacking affected him. There was a lot of stories that Jake wasn't really too affected and even one that suggested he tried to get fired on purpose but by the sounds of it, he really wasn't expecting it. I've heard that it was Sharon who fired him, not Ozzy, but there's loads of rumours why... nothing seems concrete.
It's more Zeppelin than Sabbath, but it's own thing in the same genera. It's funny, Zack's solo albums sound like southern Rock/Zeppelin as well. Formed in Sept, recording five months later after a "break" with what looks like a young Bob Rock, album out in less than a year. Jake had some good management that intended to keep the ball rolling. I did not realize him leaving Ozzy was as shock to him. Abusive relationships, you could see it in this interview, he misses it, the having his idea's stolen and being beaten down and booboo's kissed while they are bruising you elsewhere.
Jakes tone is so great. It just so nasty and mean. Listen to his cover of “Surfing with the Alien” (it’s on YT) it’s really great. That tone man to quote Wayne’s World makes me feel kind of funny like climbing the rope in gym class.
It’s hard to imagine a band with less confidence about how the record is going to do. I think this is because the record company sent Jake and Ray back to the drawing board after hearing the first bundle of hitless songs. Jake and Ray look and sound like they just got dumped by their super hot and rich girlfriends and know it’s never going to happen again for them again.
All I can say is Red Dragon Cartel was such a beautiful surprise. After Sharon fucked him out of his songs he just disappeared after the Badlands , thank Eddie Trunk for bringing him back .
Knowing from other Jake E. Lee interviews that guitar was mostly set at deafening volumes, that's why he hesitated to play at first when the reporter asked her.
What he probably wanted to say was that after Ozzie stole some of his songs, and Sharon made it clear he wasn’t going to get credit for them, why not get fired? Icing on the cake.
This woman doing the interviews trying her best to help him out and get him to sell what he’s doing, but it’s so interesting to watch how Jake just doesn’t really have that in him. He’s the complete opposite of someone like a David Lee Roth who would sell anything even though it may not be that good. Here you’ve got the reverse.
@James Williams wtf,. I had a studio in 1990 and later. No smoking in control room, we had rooms for that. Smoke brought particles that got into the faders. And some artists hated the smell. They would ask if we had a smoke free studio. No drinking near the board either.
Ozzie’s original manager was Sharon’s father. But Sharon managed to take Ozzie away from her father who Wi-Fi recall was pissed off. Sharon was very driven.
What happened? Did they just not get along? They didn't like each other maybe? He seems disappointed. I really liked him in Ozzy's band. It is too bad Ozzy could not keep his band members longer.
Various reasons. Jake and Ozzy never got along, Jake is kind of a introvert with dry humour, while Ozzy was fcked up all the time and when he's high he's crazy and mean. Then Jake tried to expand Ozzy's sound musically, introducing more jazz, blues and psychedelic stuff. Ozzy didn't want that and always asked him to write the same songs over and over. He wanted rock/metal hits like "Crazy Train" or "I Don't Know" only. Then, Jake was stealing a lot of shine from Ozzy. He was basically the star of that band, eyes were glued on him, with his incredible playing and stage presence. And lastly, during The Ultimate Sin the then bassist Phil Soussan was whispering in Ozzy's ear that they didn't need Jake anymore. On that record Ozzy got his biggest single ever "Shot In The Dark", who Soussan supposedly wrote (in reality there's a dispute about that, since the song is from his ex-band Wildlife, and other members arguably wrote it). So Phil tried to convince Ozzy that he could write hits without Jake. Well, Soussan was fired few months after Jake did, lol.
To me the biggest looser was Ozzy. Obviously he/Sharon fkd Jake an Phil Soussan big time over the writing credits but Shot In The Dark and Bark @ The Moon are very big songs in the Ozz catalogue. In hindsight we can thank Ozzy and Sharon for sacking Jake because he made Badlands which was a very interesting band.
Jake is so awesome as a guitarist and a human being. The world needs more Jake E Lee!
J.E Lee is one of the best guitar player of the 80s metal era !
no shit!!
Yeah 🎸🤘🇯🇵🔥
Famous quote “Ozzy couldn’t stand me sober and I couldn’t stand him drunk.” Jake E Lee
Yeah I I think I remember him saying in an interview that Ozzie would be on these alcohol binges and go to his hotel room at three in the morning and demand that he get up in start collaborating on music.
@@latsnojokelee6434 I bet Ozzy sat and wrote himself epic riffs like batm or Ultimate sin

Randy Castillo and Phil Sasson got Jake fired from Ozzy.
Ray had such a great voice. So sad he passed so young.
Yea.... great voice and an amazing performer. But he was sick and knew it, even denied it in a meeting with Paul O'Neill and the guys at WEA. He fucked the band, and God only knows how many groupies he gave it to.
very cool footage! Jake E. Lee is my favorite guitarist in Ozzy's band.
Jake E Lee the best Ozzy ever had!! The best period !! He's great! Fun to watch him perform
genius guitarist,who is free from ozz and Sharon's grasp and abuse,he can now fly the way he wanted,in the end it worked out till his genius singer passed

Great band. The debut album and Voodoo Highway are classics
Jack E Lee is so talented and creative and damn super cute ❤🎸🎶.Badland was a good band ☺

There's the greatest singer that ever lived.
Yup i think so too.

thank u so much tracy.
jake re-starts his life with new band Red Dragon Cartel. check it out.
Jake E. Lee was a good looking dude, No Homo!
It's a good thing you made that clear🙄
Kick ass video!! Takes me back in the day when Badlands was tearing it up. Saw them live a few times and was blown away by Jake's playing, which seemed to be even more shredacious than his Ozzy stuff.
Thank you!!
Cheers! \m/ \m/
I’m just glad Jake had a good pair of shades to keep from being blinded by the bright lights of the studio
God bless Jake e lee!
This band should have been bigger. Far better and talented from most bands of that era. RIP Ray
Agreed! Incredible. Stands the test of time.
Wow. Just wow. I've never seen or heard a young Jake speak. I love Jake above all others. Wow.

Everyone's drooling over Jake, Im drooling over the Studer and that fantastic Neve VR series console with the Martin sound flying faders !!

Mr. Greg Chaisson !
ジェイクイリー？レイギロン？ heyyyyyy 字幕カタコトやん (涙)
Thanks for posting this rare gem, Tracy! When and where was this recorded?
cool

cringing at the cigarette ash hovering over the mixer faders...
jeddak cringing at someone smoking in a recording studio circa 89? Why?😂
@James Williams wtf,. I had a studio in 1990 and later. No smoking in control room, we had rooms for that. Smoke brought particles that got into the faders. And some artists hated the smell. They would ask if we had a smoke free studio. No drinking near the board either.
What are you guys little kids?
Hai! Wakari Masen!
8:07 awww ...😂😂
It's a huge shame such gorgeous and talented man couldn't keep snake in his pants. then he didn't respect his own health and life 🥺
やっぱりジェイクは男前(^-^)
エリック・シンガーはKISS参加前か。若いなぁ。
しかし当時の字幕の拙さはダサダサだね…。
Ozzy “f”t up when he let Jake go and his music suffered. What a stupid thing to do but that’s what happens when you let the wife wear the pants!
Zakk copied most of what Jake did, yet never had the original fire and talent.
Ozzie’s original manager was Sharon’s father. But Sharon managed to take Ozzie away from her father who Wi-Fi recall was pissed off. Sharon was very driven.
3:24 I don't believe him.
What happened? Did they just not get along? They didn't like each other maybe? He seems disappointed. I really liked him in Ozzy's band. It is too bad Ozzy could not keep his band members longer.
They fired him via telegram. There's a Eddie Trunk audio posting here, on UA-cam , Lee explains it all there - it's a good interview , check it out.

Crazy to think Ray had aids the whole time.
Always some language you can't fucking understand...jesus
Is this why you broke out on your own?😂 Jake: no, I got fired.🤣
Did she do any research on this band?
