Best Of Jake E Lee (Ozzy Osbourne / Badlands)

[@jeffreysullivan5413]

Jake stole the show.......was the problem.

[@idontgivea1769]

Absolutely! Ozzy was used to be the show before Jake E. Lee came in. You can bet your ass the man’s presence didn’t fly with Ozzy.

[@Thomasdgolden]

@randyrandal2942He’s always been Mighty.

[@SonicVR12]

​@idontgivea1769 didn't fly with Sharon either. Thats even a bigger problem

[@brettdenney8931]

I watched a show of Jake's latest band on You Tube at a very small club. After the show a fan asked Jake what happened with Ozzy. Jake said Sharon promised him everything without Jake signing a contract. After Bark at the moon was recorded Sharon brought out the contract. Jake said this isn't what you promised me. What if I don't sign this? She said we will get another guitar player and give him credit for your work. Jake said I sure the hell wasn't gonna let that happen. Jake shrugged his shoulders, held up his hands and said what do you do? He went along with it. No song writing credits and didn't get paid either. Before the next album, The Ultimate Sin, Jake made sure he had a contract in his hand before he wrote or recorded anything. Then he left after the Ultimate sin tour. It makes me wonder where Randy Rhoads royalties went to, probably straight into Sharon's bank account.

[@Evergreen12341]

Ozzy can go F.. himself. Jake E. Lee is a GOD​@@idontgivea1769

[@Laserus]

Man, what a guitarist....this dude is a legend!

[@joerenotown6335]

Jake E Lee Is a Master Guitarist, and a Kind Hearted Human Being.!!!! And for Sharon and Ozzy take Advantage of this Brilliant Young- Humble Man is Criminal. Even Worse- If Jake was to even speak of this for One Second? They had could have slapped a law suit against poor Jake. They completely Trapped him. from speaking the Truth. But in their eyes they see it as Just Business. (What a Joke) Jake Deserves nothing but the Best in the World for all his contributions and hard work. And the World Know it.!! Long Live Mr. Jake E Lee.!!!

[@samuelhendrie3746]

Absolutely my friend,, I absolutely agree,, jake was the key,,, and he had amazing moves to go with what he was playing, top of the tree, he's the star, 🌟,, no matter who ozzy could get after, they couldn't fill Jakes boots,,, Sharon is money grabber,, take deserved better,,

[@reaper3509]

@@samuelhendrie3746yes I’m always thought that jakes moves are unmatched. Even the master randy rhoades is no match for jakes showmanship. It’s a shame, every teenager I’m the 80s would’ve been so inspired by jake…

[@mikebasterd9645]

How the fuck do you know ? Let me guess, you were there ? Your high.

[@matthewboren357]

Definitely the most underrated guitarist. One of the greatest

[@MrPissphat]

There are only a handful of true masters that made their guitar scream with blistering pleasure as phenomenal music flowed through their fingers to the fretboard like an outworldly conduit. Jake was the epitome of these superhuman beings 🔥🔥🔥

[@davedropd1]

Surely the BEST Jake comment on yt... luv it....🤘🎸🎛️🔚.....

[@robertmichalek4504]

Who can deny who is the Guitar Hero? Jake E Lee special of the the world. Thanks

[@julioocasioalbino1782]

Jake took Ozzy to a different level he is one of the best Metal guitar players ever

[@richardguay9685]

This is what to be a metal guitar player is all about !!!!! Very rare talent.

[@YouAintChris]

What’s rarely mentioned about Jake - is his life off stage and away from music as well. He is a talented auto mechanic and tuner. Has restored several classic 70’s award winning muscle cars. Took a smashed, fire-raveged Olds 442 with no motor that was piled up in pieces on a 10’ flatbed trailer and rebuilt it from ground up. Sold for big money through Barrett-Jackson and the car won several awards.

[@blacklantern4753]

Didn't know that, but fun fact: Jeff Beck also was a mechanic

[@jskop566]

I have to imagine both of them can turn a wrench like nobody's business.

[@robertagodsil7951]

[@Mexnexus]

200 years from now, Jake will be remembered and Sharon and OZZY Osbourne will be despised as the people who made us loose 2 of the best guitar players ever, one by a tragedy and one by assholery.

[@j_freed]

Some people don't see their luck. I thought Dio with Jimmy, Vinnie and Vivian had an amazing band chemistry; they never got that magic back after Campbell was fired and the other two soon left.

[@acajoom]

This guitarist has always been a step ahead. Very imaginative with unique esthetic. Not many guitarists have this. Oh and by the way, with lots of patience when Ozzy grabbed his hair on stage.

[@steven3517]

Yeah I never thought much of Ozzys hair pulling,he did it to Randy Jake and Zakk in his early days too.

[@stratcat9432]

​@steven3517 Me neither, I thought that was a prime example of the ahole part of Ozzy's personality. He would of never tried that shite with Tony Iommi. He'd a been knocked on his ass with a few teeth loose. I think he was particularly rough on Jake. Jake should of kicked his ass, out of sight, before he left the Blizzard. Lol. Wishful thinking, as I believe Ozzy ,the pussy side of his personality, let Sharon fire him over the phone.

[@mv8141]

Totally one of the greatest and original. You know you’re listening to Jake. Man. What’s not to love about this guy. Fucking amazing. I saw Badlands And thought I was ready. I wasn’t. He went on this solo that went on and on and on. You just stood there with your mouth open amazed wondering how long he could go on like this! Jake is also about the nicest guy from his interviews.

[@stratcat9432]

Nailed It!! 💣 💥

[@timhughes1327]

Jake’s guitar work on the Badlands material is exemplary ! 🎵❤️‍🔥🎶

[@timhughes1327]

Jake is one skilled musician ! Quite the showman as well ! 🎶🎵

[@dono6971]

Jack is so under-rated and under-appreciated. In many ways, I like him more than Randy. I know I will get killed for that. But simply my preference. His playing, especially on the Ultimate Sin album, is legendary.

[@jarrodchan]

Same here, as much as I love Randy, Jake injected the sex into Ozzy's music and was just a wild player on stage, the quintessential 80s hot guitarist Ozzy needed

[@jesseburas1183]

Donovan Edwards, just like I told that other dude a minute ago I take Jake over Randy every day of the week and twice on Sundays. And he was a very good friend of mine so I'm kind of biased but I take Dimebag over all of them

[@arsd9021]

Same opnion here. Jake is by far the best! Cheers!

[@Headbanger9000]

I think Jake was faster and technically more skilled than Randy but... Randy was the better song writer imo

[@joshuaperkins1257]

Same here. Jake > Randy

[@rodjohnon4950]

Jake was the reason I learned to play guitar. Absolutely phenomenal. Jake really had stage presents. I guess the Osbournes couldn't handle that.

[@arsd9021]

thats my opnion too. hail to Mr Jake!

[@vincent7160]

Exactly! I loved Ozzy but when I saw them live I was blown away by Jake! That's who I remembered the most!!

[@paxotium7971]

Presence, you spelled the birthday kind

[@arsd9021]

The far best guitar ozzy ever had. Up to the point of bring the attention to him. Great composer, performer, by far the best. Not that the others, including Randy, werent good. They were great, specially Randy. But Jake man, Jake is the real bad ass guitar player full featured. Thanks Jake, for all these master pieces!!! You deserve much more recognition!

[@rainbow666ify]

Nonsense.

[@stratcat9432]

​@@rainbow666ifyThat's purely your opinion, but I guarantee that Randy would of struggled hard to cover Jake's music,whereas Jake nailed Randy's as did Brad Gillis in some ways. I loved and still do love everything Randy Rhoads, he was the one that myself and all my friends absolutely were amazed and left breathless seeing him live and loving his small examples of studio masterpieces . But Jake, Jake is so damn original and technically adept that it is jaw dropping, spine tickling good from a fellow guitarist point of view. Jake E. Lee = Beast on 🎸 .

[@jamesmccormick875]

People forget that Randy was playing the way he did with Ozzy back in the mid 70’s. Randy and Eddie were contemporaries. Had Randy made it first, he would be where Eddie was. Randy created the way metal players continue to play to this day. His use of exotic scale and his compositional skills were that of a true composer. He was light years ahead of his time. Jake is a master, he is an impeccable player and he is among the best to ever do it. But without a Randy’s genius, there would probably be no Jake in the mainstream music. Randy broke new ground, he was overtaking Eddie and creating the Neo classical guitar. Randy was a bright shining star.

[@nethbt]

Amazing stage showmanship yet he still manages to nail those solos.Not many guitar player could do that

[@larkraines9311]

Jake is bad ass. I like Randy as well, who doesn't, but he can't stack up to Jakes stage presence, or his playing ability. Just my opinion. Jake is the real fukn deal, man. Undoubtably the most underrated guitarist in history, and one of the very best, on top of that. I know some people will be pissed over that comment, but all favoritism aside, that's a fact.

[@kevinrosner8676]

I completely agree. I wouldn’t say ANY rock/metal guitarist is better than Jake. As good, yes. But Randy isn’t one of them. Jake live is an experience like Lynch was when he was going crazy with his solos live

[@TwistedTalksWithNoah]

But Jake had one huge flaw he can barely play melodic randy mixed the best of both worlds all jake does is shredd and bend love him but hes not at talented as randy. If randy was still around he would be alot better

[@TwistedTalksWithNoah]

@@bigshoes806 not all and I know he can play melodic but he rarely ever does

[@ThekiBoran]

Rhoads' solos are masterpieces that can almost stand alone, apart from the song. The best Lee can do is mostly mindless shredding. Rhoads' solos are finely constructed statements.

[@robertritzenthaler3775]

@@ThekiBoran Totally incorrect to say Jake was a mindless shredder. His playing was very melodic while also being avant garde in many ways. His solos on Ultimate Sin are masterpieces.

[@sullivan448]

He was absolutely the best guitarist Ozzy ever had and he couldn't handle it

[@whatcher8151]

Jake had a caustic personality grade as compared to Ozzy's 95 IQ bwain, in all seriousness. Jake was more fixated on ability, normality as life could render in that atmosphere.. No Ozzy wanted a Boozin brawlin butt buddy, a snortin suckin selfless snack-cake and JEL could not assimilate, it wasn't him. Plus you know the game, all lies down a primrose path then before it's done you have gone thru 4 peoples (if ya wanna call Ozz's lawyer wife a people) agreements then you get 25 cents an hour and all the bologna sandwiches ya want, condiments extra. They all got ripped off in the era. Like take it or leave it, I'll find another. Note to thy self: Do you ever wonder why some like him that had been blasted by Dio as a stumbling retard and others in the community he grew up in. He is of a bloodline. Like so many actors and every present Dent we have had but one. They are not elected, they are selected. Props up Jake the Rake, miss him as he was. We all get old but he opted out for a longtime then a great singer was a horndog and got aids. My My. Still my favorite guitar man ever.

[@AhhMishMoneypenny]

The master and best Ozzy guitarist by far. Always loved his style.

[@megadeel]

Jake is the total package all in one !

[@briankoncyk3379]

Megadeel you got that right! Amazing guitar player and showman for sure. A cool guy also.

[@arsd9021]

yes. agreed

[@nzarinaali9801]

Extremely underrated guitarist. He has an undeniable talent which unfortunately some people failed to recognise it. This saddens me as I do believe musicians and singers SHOULD be recognised for their talents and abilities. He is a brilliant musician with a great musical portfolio. Amazing guitarist full stop.

[@WildIronLizzy]

I concur 💯 percent with you!

[@j.c.mhardcoremetalfan413]

I must have watched this 20 times today and still can't get enough of it lol.

[@johnbaca5338]

Jake was throwing down in San Gabriel Valley backyard in Ruff Cutt. Always the Shredder. Mass control of the instrument.

[@JPM777]

Best guitarist Ozzy ever had. Period.

Jake was the show........

[@tsbarros13]

He´s a monster! The best Ozzy's Guitarist ever!!

[@axsus718]

Jake made Ozzys comeback complete...Period!!!!!

[@jamesstables6636]

7:48 just tune my E-String back up in 2 bars to perfect again no big deal. Damn Jake was a flipping' animal. I loved his studio albums with Oz and his accuracy is just insane. I know Randy gets immediately compared to Randy since they were back to back Ozzy guitarists but both were amazing for their own reasons. Without Randy we wouldn't have Blizzard & Diary which I think is one of the best Metal Albums in that era if not ever and without Jake we wouldn't have Bark & Sin. 2 different approaches to Ozzys theme. In any case I think Jake is squeaky clean and added a new level of polish to Ozzy's sound, but I think Randy pioneered the way there so it was definitely a group effort to get Ozzy into Hollywood lol.

[@guitarplayer5235]

100 % agree with you : both were amazing , end of the story.

[@davidhill7234]

One of my all time favorite guitarist!!!

[@n.s.3410]

[@bz1bz1]

Absolute monster!!

[@jimmyguzic2637]

bz1bz1 You got that right! \m/

[@austin1fiddler]

Poor Jake. This goes to show that you can get fired for being TOO Good. I believe Sharon fired Jake because she was worried that he was upstaging Ozzy.

[@j.c.mhardcoremetalfan413]

Greg M that's a huge part of it

[@GorditoCrunch343]

You hit the nail on the head, Greg.

[@itsthenicolas]

I feel like if Randy Rhoads hadn't died he would've probably suffered the same fate as Jake. Sharon is a bitch. Treats good band members like they're expendable

[@enginemaster01]

Greg M . Your right that's why Dio fired him because he was too good

[@briankoncyk3379]

Could you imagine Rudy Sarzo with Jake on the same stage? Boy, Ozzy would really have a tough time keeping up with those two back then. Jake is amazing!

Thanks for sharing this. Jake is without a doubt the best guitarist I have ever seen and I have pretty much seen them all. Seen him play twice in Pittsburgh a couple years ago with the Cartel and he hasn't lost a thing. Jumping out of my skin waitin for the new cd to come out but probably won't be until March.

[@jamesmccormick875]

One of my idols, Randy Jake, Zakk, Slash and John Sykes. To me, Jake really showed his astounding greatness in Badlands. The man is just insanely underrated. He is one of the best to do it, period!

[@RockinRich71]

Jake was and still is my no. 1 inspiration! What an absurdly talented guitarist he is. I was too young to see him with Ozzy unfortunately but literally stood a few feet in front of him for a Badlands show which was jaw droppingly good!!

I seen OZZY swing Jake in a circle while he was playing a solo at a concert and Jake never missed a note and it was amazing. I always thought Jake was better than Rhodes in OZZY’s band but I might be a little biased because Jake is one of my favorite guitarist.

[@Mop890]

Jake will always be my favorite Ozzy guitarist. He might have been able to shred, but his writing ability stands on it's own when you listen to records like The Ultimate Sin. Dude was a genius with his riffs and melodies, not just his soloing.

Great stuff! The first Badlands record is my favorite. I love his sound; his aggressive picking with that crazy right hand really changes his tone. It's so hard to reproduce.

[@richardhartman6316]

Jake E Lee is one of the greatest guitarists I've ever seen people always try to compare him against Randy about who was best two different styles and sounds Randy was also one the greatest I've seen but you can't compare the two It wasn't a rivalry they both did Ozzy justice

[@Alji3dom]

As talented as Rhodes carried on that style of shredding. I play guitar and this guy is top of the tree.

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

Bark At The Moon is the first Ozzy album I ever had and one of the first albums all together I got as a little kid at seven years old. Thirty three years later Bark At The Moon is still one of my all time favorite albums and Jake E Lee is still my favorite Ozzy guitar player ever. I love Randy , and I love Blizzard Of Ozz and especially Diary Of A Madman. Bark At The Moon will most likely always be my favorite Ozzy album. I also really love The Ultimate Sin and all the Badlands albums. Red Dragon Cartel is great also. Jake E Lee is just a PHENOMENAL guitar player!!!

[@KELLY-3-m7c]

Ozzy would never have made it as far as he did if it had not been for the guitar players (HEROES) in his career. I don't think there never has been such a lucky man as Ozzy in the music business.

[@michaelbanszki1262]

And the Arden clan.

[@westbeachum3160]

Saw Ozzy on the first tour with Zakk Wyde and thought Zakk was the bomb. But to be honest.. I grew up in the late 80’s with Jake E Lee’s masterful guitar work and didn’t appreciate the genius he was..and is. Amazing fingerwork.
