Randy was the guitarist for The Blizzard Band, even though admittedly the management hijacked the project, but it all went so fast, the 2 guys got kicked out and the 3rd dying before he had tge chance to quit (and he wanted to, that's for sure). Strictly speaking Jake was Ozzy's 1st guitarist for his 1st post-Blizzard Band fake solo album. Apple and pear. Randy was the best Blizzard guitarist. Jake was the most complete "Ozzy" guitarist.
I'd go one better and say that although Randy was the one to pull Ozzy's ass out of the fire after he was fired from Sabbath, Jake was actually the more unique player of the two. Unfortunately we never got to hear what a Randy project outside of Ozzy's band would have sounded like, Jake went on to form Badlands and released 3 albums that blow away anything that Ozzy has done post Jake so bad that's it's kind of cold hearted to even compare them. It has also been insinuated by more than one "music industry insider" that Sharon called in every favor she could to make sure that all three of those records received almost zero push to radio and disappeared almost immediately. I think most anybody who remember them would say the same thing. For anyone who hasn't, what are you waiting for? Think Led Zeppelin, meets Bad Company, meets Humble Pie. Yes. They were that good. Badlands was one of, if not the most overlooked hard rock bands to ever exist.
@@haliaeetus8221 I agree. Jake e. Lee doesn't get enuff credit. His play & ability to work w/ozzy thru his hard times, BASICALLY SAVED OZZY & his career. Jake iz a fucking BEAST & great guitar player/ person
He's fallen off pretty hard but after what this guys been through it's amazing he's getting up there and playing. Jake in his prime is absolutely unmatched
Ozzy purchased his fame at the crossroads. Him and those dumpy no-talent kids of his along with his shrew wife having a hit TV show was beyond me. And he still tours, backed by top notch bands sounding like a tone deaf senile fool, and everybody thinks he's great.
Robert Smith, I love Jake E Lee, I saw Ozzy in 1986 first Rock in Rio edition, Jake E. Lee is my fave along Randy Rhoads, but its business dude. Jake helped Ozzy and Ozzy introduce him to the world, good for both
always have been a huge fan of Jake E Lee's and this video shows why. He's just so great and I totally agree he is underrated. And yes it is criminally underrated......
I've loved Jake from the first time I heard him with Ozzy. Bark at the Moon was quite an introduction! I was learning guitar at the time and I absorbed as much of Jake as I could. Just a passionate player and still cool as fuck. Long live Jake E Lee!! Edit: Badlands was a totally underrated band.
The Moo was correct, that in the video is a charvel. His original white strat is actually a fender as you mentioned, but he’s not playing it in this clip. That old one is beat to shit and basically unplayable, as he says often. So it is evident that every guitar he plays on stage now is a Charvel reissue, he owns many. You can buy one for $3,000
I think the original was was a Fender Strat hardtail, which was painted in Charvel colors and perhaps modified with a humbucker. He liked the sound of the hardtail better than tremolo bar versions of the Strat. Then Charvel made the Jake E Lee signature models, which I think he's playing here, because it looks like it has a mahogany /ebony fingerboard neck, and his signatures apparently have that, instead of maple / rosewood. Same set up, probably. I also wonder about the way he bends the notes, that must be hard on necks.
I seriously don't know how anyone can listen to this actual cut and many others and not actually come to the conclusion that it sounds like a hundred percent complete shit sounds like shit end of story was Jake Lee talented is he talented yeah so are many musicians doesn't matter this and many others that I've heard of him new band old band whatever this recording sounds like complete shit
The dude is just simply a beast on the axe he's also very professional very versatile and can play almost any type of guitar music and get it perfect on the First Recording that's what I've heard
Always always always Stand up and listen to this man play....without a doubt BADASS SHREDDER ON THE LOOSE.. And yes it is and always has been .a strat hardtail
It wasn't until Hearing Bark at The Moon that the loss of Randy Rhoads and the direction he was heading was fully felt. With Jake it was back to blues based playing. Worlds apart.
I’m a huge Jake fan. Saw him in Memphis back in 1984-85 with Ozzy. I couldn’t figure out what’s different with him but now I figured it out. He doesn’t smile much anymore and almost seems like he isn’t happy playing anymore. I’ve numerous other videos now and it’s the same. He use to smile and play the crowd, not much anymore. What an awesome talent for sure though
I was there in Sweden at the "Sweden Rock Festival" in 2013 for the very first time, followed by 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and last year too for sure, so I unfortunately I missed this concert, i.e. the whole festival from 2014. But I couldn't make it due a new job.., well..., I still have this job and now we all hope, that's to say pray for next year in Sverige!! \m/\m/
Purple Kat Sharon ripped of most of the musicians who wrote and recorded in Ozzy's entire career, except for Zack Wylde, all the ex-musicians say the same of her
Purple Kat this is incorrect. There is an interview with Jake on Eddie Trunks show where Jake clearly states that Sharon (AKA Bitch From Hell) told him that he either signed away his rights to any claim to having written any songs on BATM or he was fired on the spot. He had no choice but to sign or be without a gig.
@@zakkwylde3310 Did my fav guitarist in the world just reply to me? Holy smokes! I'm 51 now. I've been a fan since No rest of the wicked! BLS till death! 🤘😎🎸
Jake was my favorite OZZY guitarist mainly because I was at the front of the stage when i seen OZZY and many more concerts. I was in the USAF stationed in Woodbridge England and wren you go to a concert at the Gaumont Theater in Ipswich England they only sold beer on the stage floor level so you by the cheapest ticket ( around 6 quid ) and go buy a beer and instead of going to the lever you paid for you would walk to the front of the stage and rest your elbows on the stage and watch great concerts like OZZY,DIO,SAXON, IRON MAIDEN,KISS ( without Makeup), THIN LIZZY,Gary Moore,and so many others. I got great pictures because they didn’t care if you had cameras but after I got out of the USAF I quit going to concerts because I couldn’t get that same experience of being that close to the stage anymore and I was spoiled from that experience and I have ringing in my ears to this day from those concerts ( 1982 - 1984 ). I wasn’t the only person that would buy beers and head to the front of the stage so there’s many many more that’s did the old beer buying deal and they know what I’m talking about.
@@micht6888 Yes, the Rockpile is a great place to play. You might know me or I might know you, all I know is Darren's been a good friend for many years and he's not the tool you make him out to be.
Ozzy had an amazing ability to find the best. Jake is no exception, one of the best.
straight up i agree 👍 👍
zakk was the last
You said it! Absolutely 💯
Jake E Lee is criminally underrated!!!
How? He's still able to find a job 30 years after heavy metal died 😂
Criminally underrated...best descrip ever~~~!!!
What he’s not underrated he always gets praise he one of my favorite but underrated idk prince now that guy was underrated
He's the fuckin best!!
Poor Jake. He had an amazing band with Badlands... lost his singer and now got stuck with this horrible singer...
There is a legitimately undeniable coolness to Jake. Truly an incredible guitarist
Jake was my favorite post-Randy guitarist for Ozzy.

@@user-bq2xc2fl6l once again, I agree. 10000%
Great guitarist. Great albums
So underrated !
One of the greatest players ever
No.
Forsure. Ozzy wouldn't let just anyone be his guitarist all those years.
Absolutely
Nope. Underrated by whom? Only idiots think that way
Jake is the greatest
Jake E Lee is in better shape in 2019 with a awesome new bass player and drummer. He still needs a singer. Jake is on of the greatest ever!
Jesus christ the singer is so bad .. abd struts around fucking with his hair like its 1988 and having long hair is still cool
Missing a true singer
He was sweep picking before anyone knew what to call it. The Ultimate Sin concert video is One of the most flawless live performances ever.
no,absolutly. FRANK GAMBALE was the firdt sweep picking.
Paganini played sweeping in everthing on the violin
For electric guitar Les Paul was sweeping back in the 1950's. There are a few vids on RUclips that show him doing that.
@@kenvorland You obviously have no idea about Paganini’s violin techniques
@@2204JCM Oh realy i been study his stuff for years
Jake E Lee's is one of the most underrated guitarist on the planet!! Great.
He's fallen off pretty hard but after what this guys been through it's amazing he's getting up there and playing. Jake in his prime is absolutely unmatched
Randy rhodes was better.
@@willjohnboy no, jake is better
lol Jake hates this song. That’s why he’s like 😑🥱
@@willjohnboy No he's not.
Jake still has it!
What a rock star! So much love for Jake from everywhere. I hope he knows how much he is appreciated.
Jake E Lee saved Ozzy's Ass !!! --- Then Ozzy n' Sharon ripped him off and fired him. . . . . . . . This is Jake E Lee's song, he wrote the music. !!
Ozzy purchased his fame at the crossroads. Him and those dumpy no-talent kids of his along with his shrew wife having a hit TV show was beyond me. And he still tours, backed by top notch bands sounding like a tone deaf senile fool, and everybody thinks he's great.
with Bob Daisley.
if it wasn't for Sharon, Dio would never have been in black Sabbath
Randy Rhoads saved his career.... Jake was just the next guy he ripped off. How Bob Daisley kept coming back is beyond me.
Robert Smith, I love Jake E Lee, I saw Ozzy in 1986 first Rock in Rio edition, Jake E. Lee is my fave along Randy Rhoads, but its business dude. Jake helped Ozzy and Ozzy introduce him to the world, good for both
One of the best riffs ever written.
always have been a huge fan of Jake E Lee's and this video shows why. He's just so great and I totally agree he is underrated. And yes it is criminally underrated......
Badlands was one of my favorite 80s bands
Ozzy's greatest guitarist of all time. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I totally agree, my favorite Ozzy guitarist.
One of the coolest dudes ever. Rock on Jake.
Now a senior but he still moves as slick and cool as he plays.
I've loved Jake from the first time I heard him with Ozzy. Bark at the Moon was quite an introduction! I was learning guitar at the time and I absorbed as much of Jake as I could. Just a passionate player and still cool as fuck. Long live Jake E Lee!!
Edit: Badlands was a totally underrated band.
That outro solo is always different, my hand cramps halfway through the tune. Such powerfully written riffs and solos!
The album version of that outro solo may be the greatest single example of rock guitar that had ever been recorded.
The guitar work in Lay it Down by Ratt is also mind blowing.
@@roytofilovski9530 I agree about that outro solo. Definitely one of the best examples of lead soloing in 80's era metal.
Good grief, such a brilliant guitarist.......and great dude.
I know he criminally under rated, good to see he still plays so good...one of my other favorite albums The Ultimate Sin, you go Jake!
Jake the best. Number 1
One of the best constructed, technical, expressive hard rock/metal solos ever!
Always blew my mind: for a guy who loves deep bends, he wouldn't use a wammy-bar; always bent the hell out of that Charvel.
James Morton it’s a Charvel
James Morton well bugger me, I never knew that! Was his roommate that worked at Charvel that painted his sunburst. I stand corrected sir!
The Moo was correct, that in the video is a charvel. His original white strat is actually a fender as you mentioned, but he’s not playing it in this clip. That old one is beat to shit and basically unplayable, as he says often. So it is evident that every guitar he plays on stage now is a Charvel reissue, he owns many. You can buy one for $3,000
When you design, an make your signature guitar, you don't need a whammy bar, if an when it breaks, scrap it an grab another.
I think the original was was a Fender Strat hardtail, which was painted in Charvel colors and perhaps modified with a humbucker. He liked the sound of the hardtail better than tremolo bar versions of the Strat. Then Charvel made the Jake E Lee signature models, which I think he's playing here, because it looks like it has a mahogany /ebony fingerboard neck, and his signatures apparently have that, instead of maple / rosewood.

This solo from Bark At the Moon, is one of the best, and this proves that!
Jake is still #1 in the world. Amazing musician
Jake fell victim of Sharon's Gravey Train.
ya and I wish Jake could have at least done a 3rd album before he was fired !!
Goin off the rails of the gravy train
I seriously don't know how anyone can listen to this actual cut and many others and not actually come to the conclusion that it sounds like a hundred percent complete shit sounds like shit end of story was Jake Lee talented is he talented yeah so are many musicians doesn't matter this and many others that I've heard of him new band old band whatever this recording sounds like complete shit
One of my biggest influences..he hasn't aged well..saw him in Badlands many years ago..totally shredded..walked on the bar and destroyed it!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Why do people say jake e lee is underrated. Everyone knows who he is that's not underrated . That's legendary.
Has to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, outro solos ever recorded. Lee nails it pretty good here too.
Neal Schon journey anyway You want It outro it's also a knockout punch like BARK ..
I love Jake's outro solo, but Randy's outro on "Mr. Crowley" is perhaps the greatest solo ever, let alone outro solo.
This is the Best guitar riff in HM history
De los mejores solos de la historia!!!
Amazing guitar player. Jake had the balls to change and improvise on mr Crowley’s solo and nailed it. A very underrated guitarist.
How do you "improvise" a Randy Rhoads solo and nail it?? Wtf lol
@@AbdassLeo_idk ask Jake
The dude is just simply a beast on the axe he's also very professional very versatile and can play almost any type of guitar music and get it perfect on the First Recording that's what I've heard
Always always always
Stand up and listen to this man play....without a doubt BADASS SHREDDER ON THE LOOSE..
And yes it is and always has been .a strat hardtail
Saw Jake w/ Ozzy BATM tour. He is one of the best rock guitarists I've seen live.
It wasn't until Hearing Bark at The Moon that the loss of Randy Rhoads and the direction he was heading was fully felt. With Jake it was back to blues based playing. Worlds apart.
Whoa!he's one of the best ,way better than all of Ozzys guitarist today.
IMHO, I rate Zakk Wilde #1 Ozzy guitarist .. just my two bits. Well perhaps tied with Randy Rhoads.. then Jake.
Hahahahahaha
No , Randy
Gus G is bad ass...Its so not fair to any of Ozzys guitarist due to Randy & Jake...Kinda difficult to out do those guys...
Jake the best
I’m a huge Jake fan. Saw him in Memphis back in 1984-85 with Ozzy. I couldn’t figure out what’s different with him but now I figured it out.

HOW MUCH I Love JAKE E LEE on Guitar!!!! First thing when I hit lotto big...Is following ANY tour with JAKE hands down!
Dyyyyyam hes BadAss!!!! I seen him in Nashville back in the 80s and Dyyyyyam it was Ass Kickin!!!!!
jake is awesome when he plays bark at the moon..
Wow👍👍

im surprised sharon hasn't tried to sue Jake over this performance yet...
Jake has rights to all the songs on BATM...he wrote it all. he was smart enough to get them
that proves that jake has the rights

I've wore out so many Bark and ultimate sin cassettes and now wearing out discs.Jake was a technical beast.
Besides staring at his guitar throughout, hes still awesome! Love ya Jake! Long time fan, I'm 49. 🤘😎🎸

Enough of the damn underrated comments. He's not underrated. Every single video I watch on RUclips has some maroon saying so and so is underrated.
Jake E Lee nuff said 👍🎸🤘🏻
3:29 vocal fade in with no effects 👍

Because that "singers" ego can barley fit into the SkyDome. Met him a few times playing in small clubs in Toronto, and is a tool to the core.

King Jake!!!
What a total bad ass!
Whether he likes or not. Hes a metal god!!!
