Saw Jake on That Metal Show, and when asked how he felt about not having any songwriting credits on the current Bark At The Moon reissues, Lee said he'd like to be credited on the album because he and Daisley wrote all those tunes. Lee and the rest of the audience had a laugh about Ozzy being the sole writer credited for all the songs on the album, as if Ozzy actually sat down with a guitar, pen and paper and wrote any of the tunes.
Scramby eggs and bacon.

To bad Jakes new album is a bore fest ! I liked some of it but I give it a fail overall. Badlands destroys it. Love those 3 albums.
I'll review the new Jake record at some point.
It's certainly flawed.......
I was disappointed with it. I thought it would be interesting with the different singers but he just doesn't pull off enough guitar for me. I thought it would be like George Lynchs solo album but it comes up short for me. I expected more form a guy that good who hasn't done shit for years. He said he had a lot of ideas built up but I don't hear them. I liked half of it.
I think the problem is trying to make parts of it sound contemporary, which was always going to fail.
My vote is Bernie Torme cuz Ozzy kicked him in the balls while onstage. Next!

Yeah, Lee's new stuff is a bit mundane. I enjoyed what he did on Bark At The Moon. Parts of The Ultimate Sin were okay (I'm really not too fond of that album, truth be told). I liked the first Badlands album. Not quite as much for Voodoo Highway.
Checked out 3 tracks off of Lee's new album, Red Dragon Cartel or whatever the fuck it's called. I think it's called Jake E. Lee's Red Dragon Cartel. It was just underwhelming. Basically, it could have been any anonymous contemporary metal band named Red Dragon Cartel for all the impact the tunes had on me. Like, if titling the band Jake E. Lee's Red Dragon Cartel was supposed to be a calling card or have some drawing power, I can't imagine anybody who had been awaiting Lee's return was particularly bowled over by the new material.
I bought tickets for their UK tour here last year, $50 or so but they cancelled near to the date. There was an excuse given but it was really due to poor ticket sales only 60 sold at a 500 capacity venue.
It's a shame I would have liked to have seen Jake play live again after all these years.
Yeah, it was an underwhelming record. Most guitar-player goes solo records have the problem of being widdle-fests - this one was the opposite: Jake was almost anonymous on it!
Hahahaha...
Listen to this shit...
Jake still using EVH amps I see.
Never a great song that although better without Ozzy singing it live. Ozzy used to struggle horribly with it.
Oof bad day at the office there.
The old bass player really sucked...
The new guy is much better...
shitty amp! LOL more so than the playing. Players get lazy playing those highgain amps. makes it to easy to play!
You listen to some of the old recordings where players are using low gain amps ran up with maybe a distortion or fuzz on the front end and they sound great. I know running those old amps that way was not as reliable as a modern high gain amp but you just can't get the sound in the pre-amp. There's just something going on with those power tubes, the transformers, and the speakers.
I used to play through a silver faced Fender Champ. I think I learned how to use my fingers more playing through something like that more than I would a high gain amp. I wish I still had that old 70's Champ amp but I have a modded Ephipone amp that sounds pretty sweet. I run it pretty hard and then run the output through a Weber power soak. Sometimes I will load the front with an OCD distortion box. It's a pretty sweet sounding rig.

No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
It's not a shitty amp, it's just set to the sound that Jake likes.
His taste in tone has always been a little suspect IMHO...
