Mike Starr bought me here 🤘
Ray had an incredible voice. His work with Jake is insane! I still listen to Badlands and watch some of the rehearsal vids. What a voice and what a performer! Mike is a pounding bass player that really keeps the groove strong. What a great loss to the music world both Ray and Mike. RIP gentleman.
Why is no one talking about Mike Starr? He's an amazing bassist
Mike Starr was incredible! I saw him perform with Alice In Chains and first met him in 1992 at the Roseland ballroom when he blew that place apart! There is a video of the show too. Mike was wearing a hat and he had more charisma than all those guys in Alice In Chains put together! that’s just my opinion.I was there and I watched everything that was going on at the time and Mike was the superstar of that group!
It’s very sad that he’s not remembered.
30th anniversary Sun Red Sun CD available now only on eBay.
I know this band thanks to Mike Starr, and it is a very good band!
because every AIC fan boy or girl blamed him for laynes addiction or support of it (which is totally false). Mike Starr delivered the thunder for AIC.
@@a.romano6532 Damn straight. Why are the dead guys the best?
He was a very good player. Gone too soon .
Mike like a runaway train on bass on just love how low and heavy his sound is ..very tight band sweet sound
Seriously no comments here? Guess I really just love Mike Starr and his kick ass bass playing. Seriously though? No one?!!!!
I had the comments turned off for a year and a half.
Now I just put them on so people can discuss Ray and Mike.
Thanks for you kind words.
Mike Starr was great! He is missed.
I loved Alice In Chains and first met Mike at Roseland ballroom when he played with AIC.
That was an amazing night seeing Alice In Chains. Mike was wearing a hat that night.
The show was filmed.
As close as I was to Ray I spent more time with Mike and have so many memories with him over 17 years of our friendship. RIP
@@a.romano6532 Wow what I would have given to see the AIC boys. It's funny though because back in the mid to late 80"s I was living in Kansas City... going through a really bad addiction issue and a nasty divorce not to mention some other not so good things... but I was so deep in my own issues that i didn't really know about what was going on in the music world in the Pacific NW. I was always a classic rock girl anyway... Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Grand Funk, Credence, Bad Company, ACDC, Rush, Heart etc... the Seattle "thing" didn't catch my attention at the time. Then my youngest son bought guitar hero or Rockband or something like that. One night I was in his room and he was playing some band/music I hadn't heard of. I can't remember what it was but I liked it. Then I saw the Dr. Drew Sober House TV show or something like that and it had Mike Starr in it. For some reason he really caught my attention. He talked about how Alice was the best band in the world and damn it he meant it! :) So I started listening to AIC. I liked other "grunge" bands but it was Alice that I fell in love with... Mike was right they were the best band in the world (to me anyway) ;) Nobody played bass like Mike Starr EVER... not even close. And Layne Staley omg I fell in love with that man as did a whole lotta girls/women. The harmonies between Jerry and Layne are legendary in my opinion. I don't know but they all (Sean too) just spoke to me I guess you could say- their music touched my soul. That may sound really dumb but hey... gotta call it like it is. I always thought that had I grown up in Seattle instead of Kansas City those guys would have probably been good friends of mine. Yeah, wishful thinking I know... but a girl can dream, right? Ok I'm sure I have taken up too much of your time but I wanted to say that I appreciated your response. If you ever wanna share a story with someone who could appreciate how amazing it must have been "back in the day"... please keep me in mind....I would love it. Thx A. Romano!!!
Yeah... All Ray's footage was hawked from the "Dreams In The Dark" video shoot.
@@a.romano6532 You are a great guitarist, The riffs on Sun Red Sun are so catchy. Thanks for the music. Got me through some hard times
Cheers to ya Mighty Mike Starr. I hope you found some peace. I'm still chasing that "Rain When I Die" bass tone!
Mike Starr👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️
Miss you Mike ⭐🎸
On a nostalgia trip. I remember ordering this cd. Pre internet. I also have the final curtain vhs. Autographed by both Al and Bobby. Sun Red Sun records Dobbs Ferry, NY. Great cd. Ray was an incredible talent. Very lucky to have seen him with Badlands Hammerjacks Baltimore back in 91
This band had SOOOO much promise. Such a shame that it had to end the way it did. Ray will always be one of my all time favorite voices. I enjoy the John West versions of the songs, but Ray was just other-wordly.
Thank You Mark!
Mike starr was a real rockstar man , so talented , awesome stage presence , natural charisma just amazing . He desrved much better , aic biggest mistake was kikicking him out , everything after dirt was just ok . I understand he had problems but they all did , im aware we dont know what actually went down but from the outside it def looks to me that it was mainly out of jealousy, still love the other dudes tho but that was a big mistake . It kinda reminds me of thw situation with dave abbruzzese, he did way too much for pearl jam and wasnt even inducted into the hall of fame . Life is unfair but hey at least people still recognize their talent .
Great Mike's performance
Rest easy Mike⭐ I miss you.
I'm from Salt Lake City...I had no idea Mike Starr died here. RIP brother. Huge Badlands and Ray Gillen fan too. RIP Ray also, even if your actions were despicable
Never knew this video existed. I have all of Ray's material. Bobby Rondinelli and Mike Starr kick ass!
awesome music, always loved Mike Starr playingthat bass
Thank you Junior Michael okayed on 2 sings.
Hard life and outrageous, the rest of the bass on the album was played by John McCoy and myself but Mike played the entirety of the bass tracks on hard life which was the best song on the album in my opinion.
@@a.romano6532 Thank you for letteting me know , and thannk you for answering my comment, this is great music, love the sound it all comes together great, can i ask you about the song by you all it is Final CURTAIN, i love the music, I think your muic is great, Thank you just hearing from someone like you is awesome, hope to hear more
La Voz de Ray es increíble BRUTAL!!! y los RIFF mortales!!! 👹👹👹👹
this is for me one of the best meta albums of all time also the rythm of Al and his penta esque solos are unique drums and bass wow perfect hard metal mix ...i love also the maturity and texture of ray here...i cant believe he was so weak and coud roar like this...low his laringe and spread this kind of groove is more demandant on the use of diaphragm...and the dude was literally giving it all...super amazing dude...
Thank you so much for you positive comments. Al
@@a.romano6532 thank you man!!!
Oh the internet music rabbit hole... how I love thee. One minute I'm looking up tabs for STP "wicked garden" and two hours later I find out about this band while reading an article about Michael Starr....

Rockin' this bad boy since I first picked it up on cassette at the Tower Records clearance store on 3rd St. in San Francisco. Been 20+ years ago at this point. Loved it then, and still diggin' the groovy vibe of bass, drums & guitar. Never again like this. J.
Thank you James
@@a.romano6532 Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Keep the Faith Brother ~ James tTt
I love his singing here so direct and honest amazing work a great loss for music but he still inspire lot of people the music is also so great perfect metal
Thank you Jon!
Great band!
I love this band. Wasn't a big fan of Ray Gillen but on Sun Red Sun he ROCKS! RIP Mike and RAY
So obvious the Gillen footage is edited in, but was a good project
Rest in peace Ray. You are missed.
I still have the 3 CDs box set from 1993. The band must carry on with Jonh west he did great as well on this album. Bobby AL and John are still the original living members to this day..
amazing voice, RIP
is there a more underated vocalist than Ray Gillan?
this is bad ass AL B
Been delving into Ray material again as I do from time to time. Very well done tribute put together for him and Mike. Always wondered how things would have turned out with Sabbath if he stayed onboard, but it seemed like a lot of turmoil trying to hold things together for the band at the time. Only wish there was better quality recordings of that time. And hey, we would not have all the recordings he did that followed. Ordered a copy from Ebay of this to complete the collection.
Ray was the best ever on eternal idol!
Ray was just beyond incredible!!!
there are some better quality copies that came out I think it was remastered by Tony a while ago. eternal idol remastered.
When you hear Ray sing on that Sabbath record you know he’s the best singer in the world.
I liked him better than anybody!
Especially on that album the way he sang the shining was just incredible! Very powerful singer! Ray was so powerful he would break all the the diaphragms and all the microphones!
Awsome
Such a Loss😥
❤🎸❤
Flanny ain’t you friend Al Romano!!! FLANNNEEEEE! Cool video, too bad this one didn’t last, a lot of talent here… Sushi Mike!
Al, I was listening to the CD today and in that interview tacked on at the end you and Bobby were confident that the "Sun would rise again". I realize Ray and Mike are gone, but did anything ever come of the band after that interview was done? Would still love to hear something else with you guys.
AL romono shining star of yonkers
Yonkers!😂 Very Strange place to grow up in.
DMX- Steven Tyler and I are from Yonkers.
Joey Kramer was also from Yonkers.
There were not many musicians that came from Yonkers..
Hey man! When I was about 20 years old (35 years ago) I saw a band of kids like my age at Starship in farmingville and they did Dio?Sabbath way better than anyone around. Was that possible Ray Gillen childhood band?
brother if you would like to play these songs again i am your huckleberry on vocals
I have a question regarding the band's name, as I have only just now become aware of its existence. Since there was the Badlands song by the same name which was sung by Ray Gillen I'm assuming that's where the idea originated. Whose suggestion was it then, or was it the other way around and the band name predates the song? Just wondering.
Oh, and it's a good song, 'Hardlife'; like the guitar playing too.
Very good question. The name Sun Red Sun came from Ray Gillen’s insistence.
Ray had told me that he wanted to always name a band called Sun Red Sun and how Badlands had recorded a song with that title.
At that time in 1993 the Badlands Dusk album was not out and nobody knew about those recordings. I’m glad you like the track..
It means a lot to me that those guys are remembered..
RIP Ray and Mike
Fuckin killler! Very sad though...2 dead band members who kicked ass on this video 2 years ago.
Thank you and yes you were absolutely rite it is very tragic and sad that Michael and Raymond are both deceased..
