Yeah ...Kurt cobain had said that he listened to a lot of Black Sabbath. The song You Know Your right sounds slightly sabbath..ish. I think thats the name of the song? I was reading JosephKuby's comments..
If this is not Jake, the guitar player sure plays fills like him. Listen to that right hand speed while muting---one of my favorite Jake-isms. Listen to "Slow Down" for example. Completely awesome. I will ruffle some feathers, but Bark and US are, in my lowly opinion, some of the most creative guitar work Oz ever allowed to be released.
Jake said in an interview that the only time he recorded anything with Mickey Ratt (Ratt) was in Stephen Pearcy's garage on a crappy tape recorder. So is this from that tape? Because this might not be Jake.
@tikia112@tikia112 yep but this from stephen pearcys site the album was titled garage tape dayz...also theres a interview on ratt here titled the mickey ratt era with stephen pearcy which he did state that jake e lee played on this track
@tikia112 this definitely sounds like its recorded in a basement thats for sure. I mean listen to the sound of the room...its almost completely dead in there.
Jake left Ratt and formed Rough Cutt with a few members from Ratt. He joined Rough Cutt because one of the members had a connection with Ronnie James Dio, which was the gig Jake wanted. He eventually did hook up with Dio but didn't last long. He helped write a couple of tracks on Dio's first record, but his parts were replaced by Campbell. He went back to Rough Cutt from there and then evenutually joined Ozzy.
I am old lol. Interview from years ago in Guitar FTPM, Jake was very candid about his experience and events leading up to his joining Ozzy. Also siad he had to borrow money to buy thae albums so he could learn the songs to audition. He apparently mixed up crazy train and I don't know during the audition due to them being similar and in the same key.
Jake E Lee left Ratt to join DIO, who then informed Jake a short while later that Vivian Campbell was to be the guitarist. After going on an alcoholic binge, Jake E Lee then auditioned for Ozzy.
@badaml and the bass player of (savatage?) who also had told ozzy about randy, was the one who told ozzy about jake. if he hadn't told him about jake, ozzy would have picked george lynch. how weird would that be!
IS THERE ANY VIDEO FOOTAGE OF JAKE E. LEE WHILE HE WAS PLAYING FOR (MICKEY RAT OR RATT) ? IF SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW SEND IT TO ME @ merishane on you-tube !!!!!! c/o CSC/09 IN LYNCHBURG V.A. (U.S.A.)
@johnsmdm The drummer, thats my buddy Rockin Dave Alford. He put the band together, VH1 don't show it because it was pre-record deal. Check out Rough Cutt Black Widow Live, that was MTV's 1st Live Concert, 500,000 people there. Also on myspace with two bands Kryme and Mod Ev that are all his.

I agree. I can't believe they've settled for the Quiet Riot guitarist now.
Carlos is a good guitarist but he was never as classic as Randy Rhoads.
Artistically and commercially, a better choice would have been Jake. He was crucial in getting Ratt established as an entity that could be taken seriously. He was Warren's friend and taught him extra guitar tips too.
Another suitable candidate would have been Mike Schenker given his stint with Ratt on MTV's Unplugged and in the Las Vegas shows.
@JosephKuby Don't ever underestimate Carlos as a guitar player. I did, but luckily my band in the 90's opened up for Quiet Riot 3 times and let me tell you, Carlos is a killer. You can tell he was subdued by the QR producer on the albums because he really does rip it up live. His sound is cool too, he usually uses 2 Marshall stacks, 1 completely dry and the other with effects, at least when we played with them he did. He also used this setup with the Hollywood Allstars, who I've seen up close.
@heinz454, ...and I thought I was the only one to notice that Ratt were the first band to do grunge. You can detect it f you listen to the debut EP (specifically the 1983 version and especially the European version which has the pre-Cellar version of You're in Trouble).
Even though grunge became media's way of referring to the Seattle punk scene, I've come to think of grunge as "easy-listening doom metal" or a radio-friendly Sabbath (Cobain said Nirvana was Sabbath meets Bay City Rollers).
uhhh...nostalgia is cool, but u shoud've broken out more of the old "hit parader" and "kerrang" magazine scans or a couple of clips to keep us a bit more interested. ;)

Tell me about it.
I think Ratt's career could have been rejuvenated in 1999 had they re-enlisted the services of former rodent, Jake E. Lee.
Commercially, it would have made for a viable decision but artistically, it was the only way to make up for the absence of Robbin and Juan.
Unfortunately, the remaining three members were too convinced by the 1991-idea of Ratt being a four piece.
If you listen to Nobody Rides for Free, it's obvious that they still needed to have a rhythm guitar part.
