[@javtimestwo]

that's awesome. welcome to Greg's brother 🤘🏼 Badlands did a 2nd album I think in 1991 and then they recorded a 3rd album that no record company wanted to touch and Badlands was unable to secure a deal for those songs but they can be found somewhere around YT

[@TheZir05]

​@@javtimestwo That album was called "Dusk" and it was released by a Japanese labe a while back. I got the Japanese import. I know Jake has been in a legal battle over the rights for those albums so they can be re-released but it's complicated. That first album is an in my opinion one of the greatest hard rock albums ever.

[@roberthanna4882]

Your Brother is one of my favorite Bass players.

[@javtimestwo]

@@username-zj9id by the time the band wrote/recorded the 3rd albums, Badlands was part of a genre that was not cool anymore. bands like Badlands were not getting US record deals anymore so even though they recorded a US label was not going to give them a deal let's be honest, the first two albums didn't sell much at all, with the 2nd album selling fewer than the debut. just a sign on the times, unfortunately

[@derekmok]

I always liked Jake E. Lee a lot more than any of the other Ozzy Osbourne guitarists.

[@misadiegolo]

While that is true, Badlands second album was just as awesome as this one, a lot of bands went the grunge way to make it easier to turn on them. It could've been the record companies or the bands themselves. There was also a glut of shit metal out there that made it easier to hate, The record companies signed any band out of L.A. Greatness like Badlands went underappreciated.

[@SBD36]

My 20 year old dumb ass owned this album in 1989 and didn't have the sense to give it a chance, it quickly fell through the cracks as I was getting very into thrash bands like metallica and anthrax. Here I am in April of 2023 sitting at my desk in my home office with this album open on a tab as my background work music. In hindsight I can really appreciate that at the peak of bubblegum hair metal these guys had the balls and integrity to dig down deep into their roots and release a bluesy 70's infused masterpiece while most bands were selling their soul for a quick buck. Respect.

[@hyutyub]

Had the album too when it was released. Never stopped listening to it until now. With Metallica and Anthrax .. i stopped listening to them about 20 years ago.

Wasn't really Bubblegum. Silly word to use. Warrant had the greatest live on stage action packed Singer and greatest frontman of the Era. The great Jani Lane r.i.p. Go read comments under Warrant videos. Every comment about Warrant will say Lane was the best. Cherry Pie was supposed to be titled UNCLE TOM'S CABIN. Jani fought hard the record execs hard to keep the album title. He had a boss.

[@TheAntsh]

[@GeneralTHC]

This album is without a doubt one of the best hard rock albums of all time. And it's definitely Jake E. Lee's best work. And it just goes without saying Ray was just a phenomenal singer. The vocal melodies on this album are just unbelievable. This band should have been WAY bigger. I've often thought hard about why they weren't bigger and I think it comes down to two reasons. One, the musical landscape back then was just jam packed with rock bands. This was when Guns N Roses and Metallica simply ruled the rock world and there was just simply so many bands and you also had the transition from 80s rock to grunge. And two, I think this is almost a more mature form of hard rock that not everyone can appreciate. This is not "Unskinny Bop" or "We're not Gonna Take It." It's almost like a painting you would see on Night Gallery. Almost morose at times. And I love the hell out of it. I have all three albums on my phone and I keep coming back to them and just marvel at how good Badlands was.

Front to back just a killer loaded hard rock album with dynamics, melody, nasty and tasty guitar work, stunning vocals and great SONGS. One of the best rock albums of the decade. Just push play at any point on this album and you’re good. And what a great goddamn name for a band on top of it all.

[@flndthebest1822]

This and the second album are works that deserve more recognition.

One of the Most Underrated Band Ever to play and Tour the World. Jake E Lee a Master Guitarist-Producer and Song Writer founded this Band along with Ray Gillen a power house Vocalist. As well with world class drummer and Bass player - Eric Singer and Greg Chaisson. These Rocked the World and the end of a Great era of Rock and Blues and the End of the late 80s and earlier 90s. In a time when Music was real and the world was a happier place.!!! God Bless them All for giving us a Magical time Back in the Good old Days.!!!

Every song on this album is great! 🔥🔥🔥no filler!

This album is a hidden treasure, to bad things got cut short for this band. Badlands was the true definition of hard rock.

[@chaddavidson1999]

I was 16 in 1989……..I’ve never really got into badlands at that time in life! It’s always great to add some monster 80’s Rock 33 yrs later………Jake E Lee is a monster on this album…………Ray Gillen has the most amazing voice I believe in Rock RIP Ray

[@tinabarnes2520]

[@alowicioustoollootsuoiciwo7283]

Rot in hell Ray! Fucker spread AIDS to many women he slept with knowing he had the disease.

[@mdwayne741]

Not a weak link at all in this band....as perfect as can be. Just insanely kickass music.

[@jamesjohnson-yu5fq]

Get nocked out 7 days a week and listen to some good old Rock N Roll And I Love The Blues too. I never listened to KZbin until 2 years ago. I played my technics stereo equipment with six feet tall speakers and I love the music loud. I have thousands of vinyl albums and I'm still looking for more old vinyl records. Can't get enough of the ass kickin shit.

[@alexandreteixeirabenjamin6539]

Ray Gillen was a fantastic singer! Jake E. Lee a great guitarist!
