Dino Jelusick - Ray Gillen Anniversary / Badlands - The Last Time

  • Ray Gillen was one of my biggest influences and he died on this day, 25 years ago.
    We were both discovered by the same producer Paul O'Neill (Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Savatage, Aerosmith), so this is also a tribute to Paul, since this is the last song he has done with Badlands.
    Enjoy.

    Just completely blown away. This song is so damn hard to sing because it's Ray at his best - killing it on every level and still making it raw and real. Your tone, power and control are incredible - I close my eyes and I hear Ray, and yet with your voice there's an extra element, dynamic and layer. You've taken the very best of Ray and made it your own - that's a sign of a true artist - I don't have the words ... Thank You, for honoring Ray's memory and legacy. Wishing you continued success and looking forward to enjoying more of your art.

    It's not just amazing that you can sing in that super-high register its that you can do it and still put in the soulful expression that Ray was famous for. It shows how respected Ray Gillen's vocals were in the reactions to this video where people are genuinely amazed that anyone could sound like him.

    A resurection of tone, attack, and brilliance. Many have same sentiment: call Jake and bring this greatness to the people. Thank you Dino for blessing us with your talent. Ray would be proud.
