Jake is easily my biggest influence as a player. Just a beast.

[@username-zj9id]

He is very underrated. As good as Rhodes in my opinion, or at least very very close

[@warborn_inc.]

@@username-zj9id I'm sure I'll catch shit for saying it (because the Randy loyalists always freak out)...but I can play Randys material note for note and Jake's stuff has definitely been tougher to emulate. So I absolutely prefer Jake. Doesn't mean Randy isn't brilliant...but at the end of the day....its all subjective anyway. Cheers

[@trishcarpenter9450]

That’s Great!! I Love his playing too, and I loved Ray too!! Boo Hoo!!!!

[@davidpierce9949]

Just listen to BATM album. Dam he just shreds. And that's an understatement

[@tommyosborn5944]

Seen him w Ozzy 3 times and Badlands once. Great times!

[@frankpfau9054]

between 83 and 86 easily the epitome of a guitargod... he carried the whole show... thanks to the osbournes he became one of the most screwed guitarheroes of all times...

[@Katsem]

He upstaged Ozzie just being Jake. I always wondered if that’s actuallywhy he was fired.

[@frankpfau9054]

@@Katsem of course, i‘m shure that could be the main reason. a lot of people came to an ozzy concert to watch jake.

[@scottashe984]

He signed. Nobody to blame but yourself when that happens. You have to assume your getting screwed and don't sign anything without a contract lawyer or two present.

[@trishcarpenter9450]

They Forgot to tell about Jake playing for the band Badlands, one of my Favorite bands EVER. Where the Lead Singer Died. And he was one of the Best Singers Id ever heard too. Ray Gillen!!!!!

[@davidpierce9949]

Thats common knowlege

[@jamescarey9197]

Saw Badlands in concert, excellent show 👌

[@GroovyVintageLady]

Also my favourite singer and band!!!:)

[@bonesjackson81]

Ray was a great singer. Just an absolute horror of a person. His doings knowingly spreading his hiv is why Badlands is not existent. All but wiped away in the settlement.

[@ytr3488]

Trish obviously does not know how to read... it states 14 things you may not know...everyone knows he was in Badlands. Duh and everyone knows the story behind Ray Gillen Hey Trish thanks for the info Captain Obvious if it wasn't for you we would have never known

[@rjprivate]

Great video, don't we all love Jake

[@mylovesongs2429]

sharon osbourne didn't, that bitch! can you imagine if jake stayed as ozzy's guitarist for more albums? what would no rest for the wicked, no more tears, ozzmosis, etc. sound like? we could only imagine!

[@millsara5377]

Love watching Jake E Lee plays the guitar, growing up I use to watch him over n over in videos.

[@shaunclifton5281]

Me too. The Best era of Ozzy to me.

[@edgaeta2001]

I remember Jake from San Diego when he was with the band teaser. I worked with one of the competing bands in San Diego as an FOH engineer. There is only four that were really worth their salt and teaser was one of them. They always treated me well, Sterling and Jake we're easy for me to get along with. I have always wished him the best.

[@scottsexton2590]

Great memories at Straight ahead sound watching Teaser with Jake playing

[@ytr3488]

Everyone has a story to tell on KZbin and it's just a story

[@ronnym1977]

And what band may have it been you worked for?

[@zzzthaoster]

If I had a band, I would have wanted Jake in my band all just because he's one cool-looking dude.

[@shaunclifton5281]

His Showmanship was off the charts. Awesome

[@user-ne6nz2lb6w]

Mick Mars really got offended by “old man” and went to his racist demon lmao

[@glenkepic3208]

Took family to see Ozzy with Jake E at the Cow Palace. Great. First Badlands album was pretty killer.

[@raymondlugo9960]

The second Badlands album is great too

[@Robostomp]

@@raymondlugo9960 I even prefer the second's album material as it was killer live back in 1991-1992. Also, "Dusk" is my favorite album for the same reason - it's recorded live.

[@dannycruz5446]

I prefer the second Badlands album over the first one

[@GroovyVintageLady]

I prefer ... All of Badlands ❤️

[@Robostomp]

First of all, thanks for the video. I've found something new, especially these Mötley Crüe and back to Ozzy thingys. What I would add: Jake E. Lee and Warren DeMartini (Ratt’s guitarist) shared a room for a while and had got drunk after sad news about Randy Rhoads died. They seemed to exchange some of guitar tricks, at some point both guitar players have some common subtle things in their playing. After Badlands' break-up Jake had formed Wicked Alliance band with Mandy Lion on vocals (WWIII), Brian Perry on bass and Ray Luzier on drums (KoЯn). Even Ray mocked this project for their vocsls. For some reason it was ended in 1994, maybe label/business-related issues and, probably, didn't feel good about Ray's death, but who knows; Jake ended up releasing a solo record "A Fine Pink Mist" on japanese label and disappeared until 2005 release "Retraced" which we might consider as a list of his musical influences. Recording this album was also an honour for Jake to work with bassist Tim Bogert (Cactus, Vanilla Fudge).

[@ronnym1977]

Here's a few more. Jakey's real name is Jakey Williams, that is where "Jake E." comes from. He went to Mar Vista High School located at 505 Elm Ave. Imperial Beach, Ca. I used to walk by his house on Fern Ave. and could hear him playing his guitar, he was always playing heavy power guitar. In high school, Jakey would get together with other musicians and would sometimes play during lunch break on a little stage. One time it went bad, I guess the singer wanted to perform longer but the faculty said no, then it got worse. I saw Teaser at several backyard parties in the South Bay area before they went three piece and were the house band at Straita-DEAD-Sound. Sterling, well, Sterling was Sterling. Gene Hunter, his ex-rythym guitar/ex-bass player is a real cool dude. Teaser covered a lot of Van Halen stuff.

[@bronzegod8037]

I have always liked Jake's music and playing style. Much respect to him. Seems like a lot of really great players got screwed over by the Ozbournes and Dios of the industry. Shame that some aren't in it just for the music.

[@area51audio]

#15 Jake did a solo album of 70s covers called Retraced that is absolutely fucking killer.

[@navindmoodley6855]

[@stevemarshall3986]

Always preferred Jake 's albums with ozzy.

[@jamescarey9197]

I'm just glad he's back

[@ozzydoop1473]

If I were J E L in the situation where OZZY asked him to be a fill in guitarist again, I would have written out my own contract stating the full amount of $5 million must be paid up front & then receive all BATM royalties at 50 % : & then state my payment rates for live shows :& that’s even before talking to any management or band members face to face, all contracts must be signed 1st before any appearances.

[@Erock-bs9ur]

He probably did, and that's why it never happened.

[@machupikachu1085]

@@Erock-bs9ur Not really. He didn't want big money. All he ever asked for was to have all future BatM recordings state that Jake was a co-writer. Which obviously never happened.

[@samzach2057]

Cool info!! Even if it did have 2 number 2’s.

[@deasename5839]

Cooolest old shool L.A. rocker!

[@jasons4553]

If it was not for Jake E. Lee I probably would have never picked up a guitar. Now I have been playing for over thirty years, and my younger of two sons has been playing for about three years. I have always wanted a chance to thank him being being who he is and doing what he dose. Playing guitar has brought me many many years shear enjoyment, and a lifetime of great friends and memories. Now that I am helping my Son with his playing it has come full circle. None of this would have happened if had never seen Jake's solo on the ultimate ozzy concert back in 88. If Jake happens to read this "Thanks dude"

[@jackgretler9308]

I use to watch jake play at straitahead sounds with teaser in San Diego. I got a kick out of the girls using shammies to wipe the sweat off of him after his set. Sines of a true rocken roll star.

[@jimclark7917]

[@toxsin2207]

Jake will always be my favorite Ozzy guitarist

[@georgeroberts7462]

Yep no prob, love and respect his playing

[@fraueimerkopf5541]

Jake E is a better musician and better looking than a whole lot more guys than Tommy and Nikki

[@kevinrosner8676]

It was better looking and a better guitarist than Mick... which is understatement of forever. LMAO. Jake was 100% a top tier guitarist in his genre. BATM is probably the coolest hard rock/metal guitar song ever especially how JAKE played it. 99% of the tabs out there are WRONG WRONG WRONG and the outro he played on tour was icing on the cake

[@username-zj9id]

Imagine how big Motley Crue would have been with a guitar player even close to Jake's ability

[@Robostomp]

@Snap your fingers snap your neck agreed, big time success wasn't/isn't about super guitar skills. That's why it's hard to imagine Jake's "dark"-vibed playing in such type of band.

[@zamzar2]

u forgot Vince Neil

[@1970borntorun]

Of course Motley Crue wanted Lee to replace or join Mick Mars! Mick is as about exciting as watching paint dry as a Rock Guitarist LOL

[@lynnrinaldo6795]

1970 oborntorun, jake shouldn’t of been talking shit about mick,I wasn’t there but it seems like jake started it. That wasn’t cool.

[@Chingu-nm6wp]

Really cool thanks

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

Ronnie Mancuso did help get Jake out of retirement back in 2013, but Jake gives producer Kevin Churcko more credit for returning. Kevin originally tried to get Jake back with Ozzy Osbourne , but the stipulation was only if he got credit for the Bark At The Moon album. Since that didn't work out, Kevin invited Jake to his studio to work on his own band which ended up being Red Dragon Cartel. I wish that it worked out with Ozzy because the Jake E Lee era is my favorite, but I am just glad that he is back. He is one of the greatest guitar players ever, and in my opinion he is very underrated. He should be way bigger than he already is.

[@susandowler5271]

Love ya jake

[@mikenealon4042]

Jake starting the feud with Mick Mars came back to haunt him. Who the hell can’t along with Mick Mars? Jake was finally in a position to call his own shots in Badlands and it never grew past die hard fans. He can shred but the music business is about people, not just talent

[@williamdelabrue5157]

The real facts : he actually started playing piano at 4 yrs old..His younger sister didn't play piano but she had a guitar and gave it to Jake at 12yrs of age when she told him it was Jimi Hendrix on the radio . Jake xcelled in senior high school with all A+ .. +++ He went to learn musical theory at a university course at 12yrs until 16 . He didn't want to continue college because '' I know everything in music theory already'' Then he move to l.a and lived with his room mates from Rat ⏩⏩⏩

[@machupikachu1085]

that's because Jake doesn't like Mick. Also, Jake IS technically a better guitarist, maybe not better for Motley Crue one could argue.

[@oziebrayman4608]

Wish he did scream, get back in the fold. Ozzy would have realized what he lost

[@carbonar958]

Sadly, its zero sum for Ozzy; he just wants someone to write for him. I was shocked to find out that Geezer wrote most of the lyrics in Black Sabbath and Bob Daisley did the lyrics in the solo stuff in the early years of Ozzy. The only real thing Ozzy's done was the Synth on "Who Are You" on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and some of the vocal melodies...Ozzy's whole career is based on everyone else's work.

[@michaelsadowski2360]

Sorry but anyone that has any real guitar skills and training will give Jake his due. Zakk is a one trick overrated pony. Mick Mars is fantastic and has and does out play Jake and Zakk. Mick isn’t flashy cuz he doesn’t have to be. Love your stuff Jake but don’t shit on mick! Zakk can keep playing his silly scale solos over and over. That’s all he does. 😩

[@machupikachu1085]

that's because Jake doesn't like Mick. Also, Jake IS technically a better guitarist, maybe not better for Motley Crue one could argue. That being said, Mick has NEVER outplayed Jake. Let's be real. There is nothing that Mick has ever played that Jake couldn't play, but we both know the reverse is not true. Cheers!

[@carbonar958]

@@machupikachu1085 HARD truth! Mars isn't HALF as good as Jake or DeMartini. Robin Crosby was even better than Mars. I'm sure Sixx didn't want him in Crue because Mars was easier to control and just did what he was told to do.
