Guitar Heroes #9 – Jake E Lee

This is Jake E Lee, Axemaster extraordinaire. His credentials include 80’s metal monsters Ratt and Rough Cut, as well as shredding it out for Ronnie James Dio and Badlands. He is probably most famous for salvaging Ozzy’s Diary of a Madman tour after Randy Rhodes untimely death. No small feat, filling those shoes. He stayed on with Ozzy and recorded the killer Bark at the Moon album. Without further ado, here’s Jake slaying them on a 1983 tour with Ozzy.

I’ll admit I never quite understood the whole ‘Clapton is God’ thing. I liked some of his work with Cream, but overall he bores the hell out of me. Santana was in the same category, sure that Woodstock thing was cool…why don’t you play something else now?

I’m glad to have found this video and cleared up all my misconceptions about these two amazing artists.

I’ll never forget the first time I heard ‘You’ve Got Another Thing Coming,’ in 1982.
I was absolutely sure that it was the greatest song ever written. It was even Better that Quiet Riot’s Metal Health!
Judas Priest were the kings of the twin guitar onslaught, watch this rare footage of the band tearing it up live with the unreleased ‘Streets of Tuscany’ and relive the days when Priest rules the world.
