    The fact that the Osbourne's called Greg AGAIN to audition -- forgetting that he had been to Scotland to audition when Jake was in the band, is classic Osbourne antics.

    Badlands is without a doubt the #1 most underrated, under appreciated band of the era. They had the talent. They had the songs. They could deliver live. It's disgusting that they didn't make it. Voodoo Highway is an absolute masterpiece!

    • @am3986
      @am3986 2 года назад +5

      The three albums are five starts. This band was fifteen years too late - they would have been freaking big.

      I love Badlands, I just listened to Voodoo Highway last week. It's still a great album. Ray was a great singer but he had problems. Badlands was doomed due to Ray's long term health issues. His prima donna act just made it end a couple years sooner than it otherwise would have.

    I have heard that Richie Kotzen is a member of the Ozzy Survivors also. He rehearsed with Geezer and Dean Castornova for a month in NYC, went home for a family deal for the weekend, came back to NYC and the band was gone. Sharon had found out he was in Posion and said she wasnt having one of them in Ozzy's band.

    Jason I thought it was funny when you said you don't think Jake would be up for a show like this.I advise you to check out Tone talk with Jake E Lee on YT , it's a similar type show centred on guitar. It went for over 3 hours and they were getting plastered while doing the show

    Chaisson is a bad mutha, had the pleasure of meeting his friend at an Autozone, where I was working with Badlands on my Bluetooth and his friend freaked out and called Chaisson and told him some Chicano in Helotes, Texas, was jammin to Badlands in 2017. Awesome loved this band and will definitely get his new stuff. MrGreen appreciate ur show it fricken rocks my friend

    Same old story with Ozzy. The thing was, I don't think anyone in my school cared if Ozzy's band members had "the look." It wasn't like Ozzy was playing Poison music where look was important.

  • @dantelovesbeatrice
    @dantelovesbeatrice 2 года назад +3

    I remember when "Winter's Call" debuted on 'M.t.v.' // It was the equivalent of first seeing "Welcome to the Jungle" premiere. (I'd predicted both bands would be huge. // And I'd loved Jake's stuff with Ozzy.)
    On the radio (likely "101.5 - KGB FM") - I'd record 'Bad-lands' in Boston (1989):
    01 -"Seasons"
    02 - [This-one - I don't have listed.]
    03 - "Rumblin' Train"
    04 - "Dreams In the Dark"
    05 - "Winter's Call"
    06 - "Purple Haze"
    07 - Jake's solo
    08 - "High Wire"
    Thank you - Greg & Jason!

    Excellent and insightful interview. Greg is a beast of bass player - and following this interview, I had to check out some back catalogue material that I own) and the Dusk recording that I was not aware of. Have folks here listened to these Dusk recordings? They were all done in one -ake with some slight alterations years later. The musicianship is superb - the sound is raw and unapologetic. I was fortunate to see Jake E Lee a few years back with Red Dragon Cartel - was on top of his game - and managed to score a signature Jake E Lee pick at the show. Would love to have a Eric Singer interview to complete the original band retrospective. Have listened to this interview a couple times now! Great work Jason.
