[@scottpadilla6631]

Badlands was so Kool you can't even compare

[@KICKYOASH]

How can a band this good be so underrated ??????????

[@mattmann-w7w]

So underrated! One of my favorite bands!!

[@p0rkjell0]

RIP RAY!!! Best Rock Singer EVER!!! So short lived, but so long lasting!!!!

[@montyrayza7220]

Among the best but not the best - 1 Plant, 2 Mercury are the 2 best.

[@Gadingy]

@@montyrayza7220: Plant and Mercury couldn't shine Ray's shoes vocally. That's just the way it is.

[@livingbeing1113]

@@montyrayza7220 Just vocally there are plenty better than Mercury, and even prime Plant. Ray is one of them.

[@randywissler9923]

And unfortunately, Greg chaisson doesn't get anywhere near the recognition that he deserved on bass!!

[@sarasarah1810]

he was always recognized for that goofy look he had though.

[@mdwayne741]

Greg Chaisson is badass....super underrated.

[@isMike999]

@@mdwayne741 nah...I don't think so....MANY bass players are underrated....if you know him and his work he's greatly admired.....Anthony Esposito all the way up to Billy Sheehan.....

[@100hooker]

The bass on Streets Cry Freedom! Hmmmm Baby!!!

[@breaux801]

Ray Gillan one of the best singers ever !!

[@robertlunsford3141]

Go out and get this album people! Jake, Ray, Eric and Greg could go toe 2 toe with anyone💪🤘One of the best rock records of the 80’s period👏

[@mdwayne741]

Without A Doubt....one of the best albums ever... This band was flawless.

[@SilverTounge85]

"This ain't no Madonna concert..." WELL put Ray. R.I.P. You are gone, missed etc. but NOT forgotten.

[@motored911]

BADLANDS! Americas finest!! R.I.P. Ray.!!

[@jeffdemarcus7230]

I saw them in Knoxville in 1989. Ray sang his ass off. I'll never forget it...

[@robhalfordtate]

Absolutely amazing. That solo at the end was sick! Ray was perfect. I saw them in 89 in Johnson city. Great show. Jake is the shit.

[@martinaddison1461]

Love love love Jakes playing and Ray’s singing is awesome as far as I’m concerned the best singer ever

[@elmorevandodewaard544]

Jake is fantastic !! Great vocals of the late Ray Gillen. Still sounds great today.

[@100hooker]

Jakes hair had it’s own contract.

[@toofastforblood]

where are the singers and guitarists like this today??

[@gordonorante509]

Never forgot this line up!

[@walkersarethebest]

These guys were the shit blew every other band off the stage

[@RobertoGonzalez-ot8hn]

i never get tired watching Ray, wow, he had some pipes, amazing singer, gone too fucking soon.

[@TwisTr71]

Badass! Was lucky enough to see J.E. Lee on the Ultimate Sin tour with Ozzy then on this tour two years later with Badlands(think they were touring with Whitesnake)Jake is an amazing guitarist.

[@dondealey1198]

You've got me imagining an Awesome jam with Jake,Vai & Vandenberg on that tour. Must have been one cool gig.

[@randywissler9923]

Jake was and still is a total badass!!!!!!

[@madenew000]

AWESOME BAND...great voice

[@RandyRocketMetal]

The song starts at circa 3:12 :) EARGASM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GOT TO HAVE BADLANDS'S FIRST ALBUM!!! I guess this band was the new Led Zeppelin. R.I.P Ray Gillen :(

[@njtattoo2]

@Ericmoss37 Ian Gillan And Ray Gillen are NOT related their last names are not even spelled the same

[@tkinter584]

This is what you call a happy, tight band of Rockers...RIP Ray! you fucking rocked bro! Most excellent post thanks for sharing!

[@miketuri7]

Killer!!! To the max. Love this band

[@kathygoodson7990]

What a beautiful & powerful voice...love Badlands!!💗💗💗

[@lisajarvis6401]

Loved them Ray was amazing💋

[@fuzzbox68]

Jake did have the coolest f**kin hair! I still listen to these guys once in a while. I saw them a couple of times at L'amours in Brooklyn...

[@zw331]

New Years eve in SF 1989 at the STONE(club) with Vicious Rumors opening!!

[@theausdog]

god damn what a fkn amazing voice this band rock

[@rhoieeichstadt8406]

Amazing voice

[@eiki0japan]

ご機嫌な映像をありがとう😉👍🎶

[@jackblack4593]

Pure Talent

[@tbah00]

Heavy heavy hitters! Almost too much talent for one band......truly a musician's band. Average folks just didn't get it I don't think. This band was a decade too late to hit their true potential for selling records. Ray was the real deal, Jake was a phenom, Eric Singer was a MONSTER on the kit, and Greg was a 60's style bass player, he could have played behind Hendrix. The second album had a cover of James Taylor's Fire and Rain that made your neck hair stand up!

[@長門雪男]

この暑苦しいほどロン毛時代のジェイクさんが最高なんです。1stは名盤なのに不運なバンドでした。

[@mikeroullier6875]

RIP Ray Gillian!!!... damn that guy had sum badass vocals!!!..as for Jake's guitar skills?... fuckin incredible!! Bassist kills it as well!!(forgot his name). Sorry

[@ozzyoso33]

WOW.... no words!!!!

[@alexandreteixeirabenjamin4554]

Rock pauleira! kkkk! Vocalista Ray Gillen (R.I.P.) monstro sagrado nos microfones e um belo guitarrista! :)

[@GORDITO1000]

Kick-ass CORD WHIP at 05:25 BL was so tight for this show.....FUCK.....rip....Ray....rip This was the 2nd coming of a Zeppelin type band, and poof....gone Ill toast Ray and Jake tonight at my local pub..yeah

[@GORDITO1000]

Perfection......damn

[@flynn0774]

You probably saw them with great white and tesla like i did. Good Shit.

[@KARFan]

Good news!Badlands old albums will be re-released in April! Hurray!

[@TheAxe4Ever]

Hey! That guitar player is pretty good.

[@gaz5819]

Awesome thankyou RIP Ray the best ever

[@jlkbbk2003]

When he plays it live the intro is really Zakk-like - though I know Zakk played more Jake-like and only got better playing Jakes and Randy's (and lest we forget Tony') stuff. Gillen certainly never got his due, and live he was incredible - no autotune, no tricks, nothing. Feel bad I never saw these guys.

[@Kostas4e]

So great......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Galacticaxis]

saw them live, had all their albums...bad ass band.... p.s. drummer sang for racer x.

[@raymondlugo9960]

Not the drummer in this vid but yeah on second and third albums and tours

[@jhel522]

Brilliant..and ridiculously cool....

[@songoflovemetalofficial]

Excellent band

[@Brent77772]

@theausdog Hell yes!!! Ray Gillen had an amazing, incredible voice and I love this band. Too bad it is so hard to find their music. They really need to re-release the first two albums. It's a shame you can't buy this at a Best Buy or even online without buying used for $30 a CD

[@davedropd1]

prably the best utube comment I have ever seen GREAT JOB!!! BADLANDS RULES!!

[@nemtall]

not a madonna concert ...love it ..tell it like it is Ray

[@GORDITO1000]

R.I.P Ray and thanks for the great jams. This time-line sucks :( I wish I was back in 1989. If I only had a time machine.

[@skummtoons6686]

Dam! Perfect. Jake's a fuckin beast!! 👍👍

[@kalungarocker]

Black Sabbath lost a great singer and performer. The last true Hard Rock band. Rest in peace Ray!!

[@jamesschaidt1096]

Only thing, Ray Gillan never sang for Sabbath. Ian Gillian sang for Deep Purple then sang for Sabbath, 2 completely different vocalists.

[@livingbeing1113]

@@jamesschaidt1096 Ray Gillen did sing for Black Sabbath, check out their live performances in 1986. And he sang the entire demo of Eternal Idol, it's available. He was in Black Sabbath at the time between Glenn Hughes and Tony Martin.

Top 5 live performance tour of all time !

[@Spiderdick11]

Pure magic, see you soon ray..RIP brother, where do you go from here...

[@Galacticaxis]

whooops, the drummer that also was the vocalist for racer x was on the voodoo highway album, not this guy here.

Truly awesome.

Awesome!!! R.I.P Ray

[@jeffreygudelsky6846]

Tesla??

JAKE E LEE RULES!!!

[@Soldano88]

I never noticed but this sounds like David Coverdale and some of the old whitesnake guitar riffs are there too..

[@anthonyrosati2470]

Who would ever give this a thunbs down??

[@alexandreteixeirabenjamin4554]

Voz que lembra DAvid coverdadel e Jake E. Lee que, tocou com o Ozzy! uau!

[@forgottenglory]

That's an awesome gig! Was this filmed for TV because it looks like it has been professionally shot? What was the running order of the setlist? Thanks.

[@kikzurass]

Eric Singer is THE drummer

[@ssa12344]

FUCKIN AMAZING! I love this shit.

[@Soldano88]

@tammysyl No I mean his voice sounds like Coverdale.I hear it loud and clear I think Coverdale influenced his singing ans style...

[@merlozeppelin]

talk about long hair! Jake looks like Glenn Hughes in the California Jam! Ray blows the roof off the place. the kicked ass

[@KICKYOASH]

@earlyblue Hell yes he does!!

[@roberthogue6132]

Jake "E" Lee "Empowerment"

[@blackjack0202]

Modern Rock. XD

[@rockdaddio]

Jake kinda looked like Jeff Labar back then. Could have passed as brothers. I think Jeff Labar's fro was bigger though. Pretty sure he kept spare picks and strings up in it.

[@PabloJ1968]

Eric Singer kick ass!!!!

[@FractAlkemist]

This is what's called Rock&Roll! Exactly WHAT do you call the $h1t that you hear these days?

[@tammysyl]

Yeah, he must have. Anyway Ray was a great singer. He was great for Sabbath, the best singer Sabbath had after Tony Martin ( in my view, of course) Was he fired or left Sabbath?

[@raymondlugo9960]

I love Ray but I never could get excited about Tony M

[@aIanzin]

He left Sabbath due to Meehan not paying his salary. Eric left Sabbath too for the same reason.

[@SoreEyeMusic]

Damn i love how Jake is messing with Ian xD 2:44

[@hawk8808]

Very fuck good!!!

[@withintemptation73]

One of the greatest, most talented bands that no-one has ever heard of. Sadly, sometimes great talent gets overlooked, and this is one of the most blatant instances :(

[@tammysyl]

@lisduggan64 I thought people in You Tube were smart enough to tell literal meaning from figurative one but I see I was wrong. I apologize for writing things that are beyond you tubers, sorry.

[@tammysyl]

He seems to have a similar style, but sorry David Coverdale and Whitesnake are UNIQUE!!!

[@kevinator63]

ray and ian aren't related, except for being kick ass singers.

[@krayter]

sounds kinda like david coverdale

[@tammysyl]

@PEDROCLASSIC I respect your opinion , however, in my religion DC is the one and only God. Ray may be one of the angels
