BADLANDS!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, you know it.....Jake E. Lee and the rest of the fellas

[JOLLY]

Man...I've always loved Badlands the band ever since I ever first heard them. I've searched and searched for live videos ever since the conception of youtube man. I've never been able to come up with too much. However, I was sending an email or two back and forth with my brother Gunner last week (or whenever it was) and he sent me some totally awesome stuff.

Apparantly somebody posted some rehearsal videaos of these guys jammin man. This is one of the greatest bands of the 90's man.

If you ain't down with these guys, then you must really have a serious problem. That's just my take man.

I think this is so awesome man, you can see jake's lil daughter (Jade) at the time comin up and hangin out on the stage.

Thank goodness you can tell she had on ear protection, cause Jake's amp is totally blastin'!!! You can just totally tell how loud it is.

I think this is a beautiful thing man, but then again, I absolutely love and adore Badlands.

RIP Ray Gillen!!

Ya know what ever man....but ummm...years ago i opened up for that band with Jake and Mandy Lion...I forgot the name of them. I thought they kinda blowed, but man alive.....I got the chance to talk with Jake for like I don't even know how long it was. It may have been 10 minutes or 30 minutes. What a great guy that dude was. That's one of the thing's I'll always remember til the day I die. He was such a great person. It was just fantastic man.

i'm very happy about that memory.

[JOLLY]

and..............

Eric Singer and Greg Chaisson were just as much a part of that amazing group as anyone else. What an amazing band those cats were. Without a doubt they were the most underrated band of the 90's. There's no doubt in my mind about that. They should have beeen huge!!!!

Man you should be partying

Anyways. back to Badlands............

[Redmist]

[Gr8Scott]

Ya forgot about me mang! I lurves me some Badlands. Show me the way is one of my alltime favorite tunes. Ray had an amazing voice and we all lost something special when he passed. Such a great band. I was watching some Badlands just two days ago on youtube.

[JOLLY]

Oh yeah man. Ya know it's a trip just to listen to his sound in these clips. You can totally tell that the amp is runnin wide open. The tone of it is just soooooooo explosive man.

[XSSIVE]

saw those the other day...great stuff! Badlands was such a great band. i really hope Jake makes some form of comeback since he's my favorite guitarist but i've never seen him live and i'm itching for some new material from him.

-Mike

[JOLLY]

he's my favorite guitarist but i've never seen him live

I'm not trying to rub it in, but I saw him a couple of times with Ozzy, once with Badlands, and opened up for him and that Mandy Lion thing. Were they called WW III or something. Anyways, I'll never forget hanging out with him backstage and just shooting the breeze with him for like 30 minutes or so before they went on. What a great guy he was/is.
