      I'd really like to know what the serial number is on his Prescription Electronics Experience pedal is. I've had a few but the early RED/YELLOW/FIRE ones are really special. I've actually had 2 at the same time.
      From my understanding Prescription Electronics Inc. ( Jack Brossart ) is no longer producing pedals

    Jake used to come to my music store in Hunting Beach California in the mid 90's and buy tons of pedals. He would audition them at very low volume in our sound room. He would return a few weeks later and trade a bunch back in and get more. I think the Experience pedal on his board may have come from my store? We sold a lot of Prescription Electronics. Anyway he was a great guy to do business with and I still have one of his solo CD's he handed to me around 1995. Fantastic player and always a great tone!

      Jake saved Ozzy's career in the 80s, and gave him his first platinum's record with The Ultimate Sin.
      Ozzy was obviously a big name and already established, first with Black Sabbath, then with the "Blizzard Of Ozz" band that became Ozzy Osbourne solo act, thanks to great musicians like Bob Daisley, Randy Rhoads and Lee Kerslake.
      But it's with Jake E Lee that Ozzy reached immortal status as a metal/rock's god, that time in the early 80s, after Rhoads unfortunate death, when metal and shredding exploded, was a live or die situation for Ozzy, Jake came in and saved his career, just writing the Bark At The Moon single alone.

      @realcygnus 4 года назад +2

      Yup, & I'd say with even more certainty that the original line up with Bob D. was truly a "world class" rock band. Nearly every bar of those 1st 2 albums kicks some seriously tasty ass.

    • @realcygnus
      @realcygnus 4 года назад +2

      @Ross Moriarty In those few short hours alone that thankfully did get recorded lies all of the evidence one could ever need. But of course "better" is always subjective to a large extent in the end. I did always find it odd just how many people missed the bus regarding those 1st 2 "Ozzy" albums, & not just RR Vs. whoever but the quality of the "band" itself.

    • @realcygnus
      @realcygnus 4 года назад +3

    Jake was the guitarist in a band called Teaser when I was a lad in the late 70's. Strat through a Hiwatt loud as hell at Strait Ahead Sound in San Diego. Me right in front stealing every lick I could. One of the reasons I started playing. Nice guy too.

    I "met" Jake many years ago standing in line for the Space Mountain ride at Disneyland in California. It was a very busy day and the line took quite a while. For my friends and I it flew by because we were MASSIVE fans of his. We were besides ourselves with glee. We were respectful but just couldn't stop staring. He was with his wife and daughter and he was kind of "reserved." No problem. He looked exactly like his pictures. After a while we simply had no choice but to ENGAGE lol!! Just a little hero worship that could no longer be contained! :) He didn't say much, but his daughter was a sweetie and she kept saying something about "I drew the picture." We didn't know exactly what she meant, but she was wearing a cute kind of wizard hat as I remember. Fast forward a little and we saw EXACTLY what she meant when we saw the inner design on the Badlands cd. A super charming little drawing. There it WAS!! I have met a ton of famous people over the years, (I used to work at Chateau Marmont) but THE coolest experience was getting to be around this man for a period time. I can't say enough about his profoundly underrated status in the echelon of players. Listen to his work on anything and you will realize that he just doesn't sound like ANYONE else. So frickin' tasteful and nuanced, even when he is blazing away. And the TONE!!! Best to Jake and all the fans of the era. Great interview by the way and THANK YOU for it. :)

    I knew Jake E. way back in his Teaser days at the Straight-ahead Sound rock 'n' roll dance club in San Diego. I used to call him Jake Van Halen, on the occasions that I would run into him, since he covered Van Halen's licks so perfectly. I think that he used to cover Sails of Charon, by the Scorpions, at those shows as well. Great times! Wish I could transport back there. Good to see you still doin' it well Jake. Rock on! Side note: Craig Goldy & Warren DiMartini were hanging around that area as well. Playing in their respective cover-bands. I knew them all. Just couldn't put down the coke and drink long enough to get anything started for myself.
