You restored my faith in younger cats singing. So sick of whiny/growling singers who can't actually hold a note. We need more real dudes singing like you.
Just completely blown away. This song is so damn hard to sing because it's Ray at his best - killing it on every level and still making it raw and real. Your tone, power and control are incredible - I close my eyes and I hear Ray, and yet with your voice there's an extra element, dynamic and layer. You've taken the very best of Ray and made it your own - that's a sign of a true artist - I don't have the words ... Thank You, for honoring Ray's memory and legacy. Wishing you continued success and looking forward to enjoying more of your art.
Whoaaaaaa! Holy smokes! Dino rocks! What a voice. A Croatian born in Split and living in Cleveland is proud of you. Rock on with your bad self. Zivjeli! Cheers and beers!
This is absolutely amazing, not only your interpretation of this song, but also the fact you pay hommage to this incredible and underrated singer. RIP Ray. Thank you, Dino!
Dude, you should record the entire first album by these guys. Nobody can buy it anywhere, you can only stream it on RUclips, it’s such a masterful album and you crush the vocals! Wow! I have loved most everything I have heard you do from TSO to your all star collabs on RUclips, this is also exceptional! Love it!
I love coming back to this song and hearing Dino. If you have not explored the current music scene and listened to his other stuff I believe he is the best of his generation. Literally nothing and I mean nothing he cannot sing.
Dude wasn't even born when this song was originally recorded, but damn, he did one hell of a job here. I haven't heard him do a bad job on anything he's sang. Good to see the younger generation keeping the music alive, and creating new music to inspire the next generation.
Didn't think it was possible. Fucking ridiculous Dino. God speed, God Bless. Make your mark. The world is in the palm of your hand. Live clean and be the best ever. I have heard every rock singer in history and you may be "The One".
My man you have a phenomenal voice. I have been a lead vocalist for 54 years and I am not ashamed to say you put me to shame. I have a vocal range but nothing like yours. May you have a long career in music. Take care of those "Pipes"..........
Still absolutely stunning! It was this RUclips clip that initially made me aware of Dino Jelusick a few years ago. Since then I've been a massive fan . Ray Gillen is a very, very hard act to follow. You sir, went above and beyond. Looking forward to the forthcoming second Jelusick album. Keep up the stellar work. How about doing a version of 'Stargazer'?
I agree about badlands being underrated. But you do understand the reasons why you never hear them on the radio and why they were put to sleep?? I absolutely love Ray Gillens vocals but the horrific things he did are unforgivable. I just feel bad that the rest of the band had to suffer. Especially jake e lee.
It's not just amazing that you can sing in that super-high register its that you can do it and still put in the soulful expression that Ray was famous for. It shows how respected Ray Gillen's vocals were in the reactions to this video where people are genuinely amazed that anyone could sound like him. Top job - get Jake E Lee & the guys from Badlands on the phone. That's a gig i'd definitely want to see
Dino, my husband and I have recently discussed what will happen with the music when the remaining good singers are gone. I sit in silence rather than listening to this so called music, but with you and your mates, the music is safe. I am proud that you are focused and following your dream. Great work, hugs from Pula.
Damn dude. You sound great, nailed it! Ray is irreplaceable but damn. If you sound that good on other Badlands tunes, Jake, Greg, and Jeff should hire you and go out on tour as Badlands.
@@mdwayne741 Jake said he will never do a Bandlands reunion since it wouldn't be the same without Ray. That doesn't take away from the fact that this guy rocks!!
Dino, pokidao si! Mislim da su ti diskografske kuće i mediji u HR učinili uslugu tako što ti nisu posvetili zasluženu pažnju. Sad ćeš, na sreću, postati svjetsko ime, i cijeli svijet će da uživa u tvom glasu i da te poštuje. Samo naprijed, respect!
Glupost, ne kužim odakle vama ljudima da ga hr mediji ne promoviraju. Pa lik je stalno na hrtu, ne postoji emisija u kojoj se pjeva a da on nije angažiran, u svim živim novinama bio, portalima, ne kužim šta bi trebali mediji radit više od toga
I close my Eyes tighten my head phones around my ears turn up the volume ,and im Listening to Bad lands and i sigh ! knowing this is the closest we will ever get to them again R.I.P Ray and Thank you Dino for allowing us to remember days that have gone by
This guy is definetly the future of rock! I know he is touring with TSO right now but I 'd love to see Animal Drive come to the states, say Cincinnati possibly?
This is, hands down, one of my favorite songs from Badlands. I NEVER thought I would hear this song sung so brilliantly by anyone other than the great Ray Gillen. But, you proved me SO wrong! This was a STELLAR performance!!!!!!
QUE BELLEZA!!.. ME EMOCIONÉ!! MI ACTUAL ÍDOLO CANTANDO A MI ÍDOLO DE HACEN MUCHOS AÑOS... GRACIAS POR REGALARNOS ESTE MARAVILLOSO HOMENAJE AL MAESTRO RAY GILLEN!! TE AMO DINO!! ESPERO PODER VERTE EN ARGENTINA PRONTO!!
I believe that I've watched this video close to 100 times and it still blows me away! I would love to hear him cover High Wire, well to be honest I'd love to hear him cover every Badlands track!
Dino you are an absolutely amazing singer and performer. You are definitely the next great frontman of your band. Been watching your videos and can't get enough. Thank you.

Ray is smiling down man.
Never thought that anyone could ever match Ray Gillens vocals, but man, this is insanely good!
Agree!
My exact thoughts also... I had to do a double take...
Agreed. This dude is amazing.
This guy is amazing!
Yes Dino is THAT good, and I don't say that lightly. i have been keeping my eye on him and he is just balls to the walls strong
Actually like this more Than the original !
Huge Ray Gillen fan, brother Dino. I never heard ANYONE sing it as good as this.
Thanks man, love all your work!
THAT'S RIGHT GREAT TUNE A1 JOB YOUNG MAN
Unfuckin believable.
Blown away. Incredible. If there was no video I woulda thought it was Ray Gillen
again I say 2 years later....that was fuckin killer Dino!!!!!
Wholly shit.... Ray would be over the moon! This is the greatest thing ever!
Damn!!! Closest voice to RG I’ve ever heard!
You restored my faith in younger cats singing. So sick of whiny/growling singers who can't actually hold a note. We need more real dudes singing like you.
His vocals are incredible.
Tako je, dosts govana, samo talenti!
Ray was my favorite singer, this guy truly does him justice. Jake E Lee should call this guy asap.
That's what I'm saying!!
Dude…big time!!
No doubt!
I never thought that anyone could sing Ray Gillen the right way. I was so wrong. This is impressive
Every few years, we get a voice to continue/replace/renew our faith in music. THIS IS MY NEW FAITH!
My wheelhouse! 80s, 90s, and Modern hard rock and heavy metal!
Just completely blown away. This song is so damn hard to sing because it's Ray at his best - killing it on every level and still making it raw and real.

Amazing!!! Dino is one of the best young vocalists in rock.
This is absolutely amazing, not only your interpretation of this song, but also the fact you pay hommage to this incredible and underrated singer. RIP Ray. Thank you, Dino!
Much agreed
ovd806 EVERYONE HAVE TO SUPPORT DINO HIS AMAZING
@@oscar1234380 ...his amazing what?
Ray was one of the best vocalists ever. This is just spooky! Thank you Dino!
I absolutely love Dino. And, I’m old enough to remember this song coming out. On point.
Mate, I'm old as shit. To hear you doing what you do literally covers me.in goosebumps. What a gift you've been given!! Share the fuck out of it.
Coming back to this for 5 years.. I think it's my favorite version of the song.
Dude, you should record the entire first album by these guys. Nobody can buy it anywhere, you can only stream it on RUclips, it’s such a masterful album and you crush the vocals! Wow! I have loved most everything I have heard you do from TSO to your all star collabs on RUclips, this is also exceptional! Love it!
Red Dragon Cartel needs to land you brother!!! WOW!!!! Killing it!!!
Or Last In Line ....but yes Red Dragon Cartel needs a singer like this, that's what's missing.
@@donjeremy2888 Imagine dino and jake in a band....it would be like the 80s all over again....fkin brilliant!!
No kidding. I love Jake, but he needs help with his guitar tone, and singer.
Dino has since joined up with George Lynch in Dirty Shirley !!!!
@@garysanders3193 he's using freedman's now, so much better tone
This is a trully comprehensive tuning of the original ..... Stunning job
Who's just been so blown away, they've found the original on here and watched that too, because this was so fucking good.
jessusss crhisttttttt! God bless you man! You're a GREAT SINGER!
I love coming back to this song and hearing Dino. If you have not explored the current music scene and listened to his other stuff I believe he is the best of his generation. Literally nothing and I mean nothing he cannot sing.
Wow dude listening in 2024 so great! Amazing voice you have!
Best rock vocalist I’ve heard in years
You're hired
Dude wasn't even born when this song was originally recorded, but damn, he did one hell of a job here. I haven't heard him do a bad job on anything he's sang. Good to see the younger generation keeping the music alive, and creating new music to inspire the next generation.
I didn't think anyone could pay respect and do a tribute to the one and only Ray Gillen but you just proved me wrong. Absolutely amazing.
WHAT DA FUCK!!! This is one of that songs which you think no one will has the balls to sing it...well, I was wrong!! Way beyond excellent, mate!
Didn't think it was possible. Fucking ridiculous Dino. God speed, God Bless. Make your mark. The world is in the palm of your hand. Live clean and be the best ever. I have heard every rock singer in history and you may be "The One".
Would love for Badlands to re-form with Dino on vocals! 🎤
Right on, 💯
Ray would approve of this and smile. Well done sir!
My man you have a phenomenal voice. I have been a lead vocalist for 54 years and I am not ashamed to say you put me to shame. I have a vocal range but nothing like yours. May you have a long career in music. Take care of those "Pipes"..........
Is anyone listening in 2025?
Not yet but I will! 🤘🏻
Yes!
I just got back...🎉❤
This song still ROCKS!!! Forever!!! In Dino’s voice is AMAZING!!!! 🤘🏼😁
Not yet 😂

The most underrated band of the 80's... BADLANDS!!
And your vocals fit perfectly... you could step right in for Ray!
I agree about badlands being underrated. But you do understand the reasons why you never hear them on the radio and why they were put to sleep?? I absolutely love Ray Gillens vocals but the horrific things he did are unforgivable. I just feel bad that the rest of the band had to suffer. Especially jake e lee.
fucking crushing
Can we get a “Dreams In The Dark” cover?
I really want to listen it bro..
Hell Yesss!!!!
And winter's call
and Seasons...
Oh yes please
I would swear it was Ray singing!!!!
It's not just amazing that you can sing in that super-high register its that you can do it and still put in the soulful expression that Ray was famous for.

And from Rijeka 👋
Exactly my thoughts! Greetings from Portugal
As long as we keep making people, there are always going to be great singers, what are you even talking about?
SO well said! Indeed. :)
❤❤
It's actually eerie how much he sounds like Ray Gillen.
Ray has always been one of my favorite singers. Thank you for carrying the torch!
Dino you are the future of rock! So proud, so happy you made it, and this is only the beginning of your amazing journey...
Damn dude let start a badlands cover band. You are spot on
What a voice.. I'm back in the 80's!
Damn dude. You sound great, nailed it! Ray is irreplaceable but damn. If you sound that good on other Badlands tunes, Jake, Greg, and Jeff should hire you and go out on tour as Badlands.
Definitely
@@mdwayne741 Jake said he will never do a Bandlands reunion since it wouldn't be the same without Ray. That doesn't take away from the fact that this guy rocks!!
Dino got better offers&chances!!
@@JodysMusicChannel Too bad. They could tour with another name, like Voodoo Highway or something.
I agree Tapp...Voodoo Highway would be a great name...I saw Badlands twice in 89 and 91...this is brilliant...
God Damn!!! This kid is Fantastic!! So glad I stumbled on hm.

Not many can cover Ray ...Bravo!!!!!...I know I listened to this Badlands for years and it still touches my soul!!!!!! Thank You for your dedication !
WOW THIS GUY CAN NAIL IT, VERY IMPRESSED !!!!
R.I.P Ray, amazing voice lost, great work Dino
Awesome cover of that song!
This guy can sing, and sing all the greats too
I close my Eyes tighten my head phones around my ears turn up the volume ,and im Listening to Bad lands and i sigh ! knowing this is the closest we will ever get to them again R.I.P Ray and Thank you Dino for allowing us to remember days that have gone by
It sounds like he's full on channeling Ray right now! Dino your tone & vocal nuances are Spot On. Rock won't die with voices like this.
As an older dude, it's refreshing to know that the youth of today have a Metal Hero to look up to like I have in my lifetime.
Wow!!! I'd love a cover of Dreams in the Dark
Damn I think I'm in LOVE! Totally rockin it baby!
Wow !!! Where the hell did this kid come from?? Damn he could sing the phonebook and it would be Amazing!! He can sing anything!! get it Dino!!!!🤘
Hes Croatian...
One of the 50-60 young ones like him in Croatia. Croatia produces world-class singers like it's a factory production line.
Fantastic voice...
This guy is definetly the future of rock! I know he is touring with TSO right now but I 'd love to see Animal Drive come to the states, say Cincinnati possibly?
yes come to Cincy !! I saw BADLANDS at Bogarts back in '89 !!
@@392local me too!
Best vocalist since Ray. That’s how good Ray was. I didn’t think he could be topped but this is frighteningly close
This is stupid good! Speechless...Jake are you watching?...
You can be sure, Jake know him .....
Unbelievably great!!!
I knew Ray and he would be so impressed. Keep on
I've never heard anyone sing as good as Ray Gillen, until now. Wow.
Bravo Dino! You have an amazing voice!! Bring Animal Drive to the states, and we are sooooo there to support you!!
Wow just wow
This is, hands down, one of my favorite songs from Badlands. I NEVER thought I would hear this song sung so brilliantly by anyone other than the great Ray Gillen. But, you proved me SO wrong! This was a STELLAR performance!!!!!!
Spot on Dino! Badlands were a great band
Holy Shite Dino! I just had chills and a tear roll down my cheek! Keep the torch burning!
Jake should re-form badlands and get this guy in!!! fantastic singer
Amazing! Such a Respectful Tribute to Ray Gillen! Thanx Man! You're Blessed.. An Incredible Voice!
Man this is a pretty great singer/vocalist ridiculously yet crazily good at nailing the late great Ray Gillen of Badlands
Compliments, Dino. This is incredible singing I have it on repeat since days now! Merry Xmas to all!!!

As soon as I saw "Dino Jelusick - Ray Gillen Tribute / Badlands", I knew I was in for something special! Well done sir!!! You destroyed it!!!
I believe that I've watched this video close to 100 times and it still blows me away! I would love to hear him cover High Wire, well to be honest I'd love to hear him cover every Badlands track!
Fantastic,!!!!the best cover ever!!!
Dino gaining much more momentum now 2021 stay safe and rock on!
OMG!! Dude WTF. Awesome!!!
Nice. Ray is the shit. What a heavy hit for the music industry to lose him.
Saw Badlands many years ago in Cleveland Ohio. I still have my ticket stub. You would definitely be great fit for Badlands.
Wow,your powerful Voice is awesome. You're a Voice-beast.
So incredible!
Dino you are an absolutely amazing singer and performer. You are definitely the next great frontman of your band. Been watching your videos and can't get enough. Thank you.
Ray was one of my favorite vocalists. Now a guy I wasn't even aware of until today is in my top five!! AWESOME job, man! Keep singing, please!!!
