  • I just blew my ears with this THANK YOU for sharing this beautiful song of the biggest yet the most underrated band ever ! Cheers from France

  • Put a guitar on a Hot Guy! and you get Jake E. Lee!!!

  • A fuckin classic!!! Cheers for postin a vid with such clear sound, and lyrics!!

    10/10

  • Jake is the man! Ozzy, Badlands, Mandy Lion, his solo albums are awesome just cuz it's Jake! Good looking to!

  • not only is jake e lee my guitar god he can be my mentor as well as long as he likes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • All 3 albums are SO GOOOOD! My fav is "Voodoo Highway". Badlands were truly great. Such a pity they are not creating anymore. *underated*! (Ray, Jake, Greg, Jeff (and Eric))

  • Thank GOD for recorded media....only TWO albums from this band, and they were both phenomenal....proof something this golden should exist forevermore!!! Long Live the memory of Ray Gillen!!!

  • only started getting into this band cause of jake !!!

  • My new religion is Badlands! :)

  • Godlike *.*

  • massively underrated band...............

  • jake is the man!

  • Amazing Badlands"song ººººººººº

    OZMOSIS

  • UNDERATED band bigtime...Theses guys are really good..

  • One of the greatest rock bands of all time, in my opinion ^^

  • Simply awesome !!!

  • Damn...this is so my kind of band. Legends!

  • Could someone please post "Whiskeydust"

  • What the hell are people running for?

  • @lostcauseforkl Running from Ray and Jake crew, because they are really badass and rock out that village =D

  • This was the best band of the late 80s. Even though they didn't make it big

  • R.I.P. Ray Gillen!!!

  • How did they make people believe that grunge was better than this?

  • @manocurujitas it was 'new'... and they were stupid enough - the ones who started listening to grunge.

  • @manocurujitas ...I agree brotha!!! These guys blew away all 80's bands....Saw them open up for Damn Yankess, Tesla, and maybe someone else in..90,91.....They were clearly the best! Tesla #2....

  • A great band...and if anyone didnt know.. Jake and Ray fought alot!!

    Ray shouldve have also used rubbers when banging his groupies ..still though.. a great talent he was and a great voice he had...!!

  • listening this band first time and i wanna listen all of their tracks ! loving it \m/

  • R.I.P. Ray Gillen, you had one of the most amazing voices to ever grace Rock n Roll. May your contributions live on forever.

  • In an era when every guitar slinger was grabbing their Floyds and Kahlers like it was their own peckers, Jake proved you could shred without a whammy. It was one of the reasons he stood out from the pack.

  • Thats just stupid. I listened to what I thought were unknown bands back then AND STILL JUST FOUND THESE GUYS TODAY! The 80s were great, but the music gods were not kind to radio, so bands like this, as good as they are, went unknown by most of us. Its one reason I started a TOTALLY MUSIC ARTIST CHANNEL to be a multi generational rock and metal education and experience so band could be exposed.I also have a TOTALLY FEM METAL CHANNEL to cover that whole phenomenon. Look up; Tall Stories band.

  • Jake E Lee for president!

  • Jake E Lee is awesome!

  • Ray was the greatest rock n roll singer to ever live!!

  • :P

  • Welcome to Rock n Roll!

  • @Thunderbass1 this shit rocked my socks right off my damn feet

  • BEST GUITAR PLAYER EVER.

    PERIOD.

  • Cnt understand why are they so underrated...

  • @madeinbreslau

    Who said they were underrated. People that do not know music were perplexed with this kind of talent.

  • Damn good band. They should have 99 millons of views instead of 99 thousand.

  • Amazing song, love the high quality video. Going to have to find a Voodoo Highway CD online. Please post more!!!

  • Badlands rips from start to finish. The tone Jake E. gets is well constructed. Voodoo Highway is one of my favs. Didn't know the "crush927" claims, but I agree that Sharon is a total ass and a veritable misfit.

  • Sharon's a money hungry wench

  • @Queens9999 that may be true but look how popular ozzy is even though he really doesnt have that great of a voice...you cant beat good management,look what happened to van halen when their manager died in the mid 90s.

  • Comment removed

  • Rock 'n' roll!

  • UN 10 ABSOLUTO

    

  • Damn i love this song

  • Best Band of the 80's Damn I miss Ray!

  • Hands down one the most UNDERATED rock song ever! Blows the hell out of all the other crap I hear on the radio today

  • @TheStonebill I agree 100% brother. This was a great band. Too bad Ray Gillan died, what a voice he had.

  • @TheStonebill Hell yeah! :D

  • It is a shame that he is no longer here to continue to create kick ass music. His voice had so much depth and richness to it in which no one could replicate. Viewing old videos and listening to his songs is certainly keeping him alive. I remember seeing Badlands in a hole in the wall place in Brooklyn (LaMaurs..sp?) This place was a real dive but they played like they were in an arena.... I'll never forget it. Missing you Ray!!

  • What a great fuckin band!!!!

  • JAKE E LEE \m/

  • Its the first they wrote together,but didnt release it till the second alblum

  • Badass song! Poor Ray Gillen...:-(

  • now this is how its done!

  • How in the hell can anyone NOT like this song?

  • this song is UNBELIEVEABLELY GREAT my favorite song

  • Am I hearing Jeff Martin doing the backing vocals on the chorus?

  • @ZestyChips Maybe, that guy sure can sing too. Great band Racer x.

  • @sabbathrider Excellent band. At any rate it certainly sounds like him.

  • ray gillen era dios vestido de cantante

  • hell yeah orange marshalls

  • Best singer in the world! Ray Gillen! his last recordings can be heard at sunredsunmusic.

  • Music as it should be. Heavy guitar and searing vocals. toss in superb bass lines and Wicked drums ripping your face off. all working in harmony

  • Kick ass song. Shame it didn't last very long.

  • f@ckin awesome!!!!!!!

  • Badlands; The only band that totally rock the "pink sky" look

  • \\m// great...

  • why is this kind of rock a dying art nowdays???

  • If you are on drugs, get sober and stay clean by going to meetings. MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME!  When you have nothing to do, do something constructive. BUSY SOLDIERS NEVER DESERT!

  • Great Fricken vocals!!! Should of been better known!!

  • DID I MENTION THEY WERE AWESOME, GOT CARRIED AWAY!

  • SEEIN THIS AWESOME BAND LIVE WAS SO FUCKIN AWESOME!JAKE E LEE YOUR THE FUCKIN MAN! THESE GUYS WERE TIGHT TOGETHER , REALLY MISS THIS TYPE OF ROCK N ROLL THE BEST EVER MADE!

  • r.i.p ray

  • I didn't realize these were labeled "rare" until I tried to find them on Amazon and iTunes. Love them. tore my mothers chair apart once when I lost the Jake E. Lee guitar pick I got at a Badlands show in it.

  • every time I think I've seen!!! you give another good one. thanks 80sclassicrmetal

  • they were one of the greatest examples of Asss Kickin RockNRoll ever created - soulfull hard edged pure energy - between Badlands / Dio / Lynch Mob / Kings X and MSG the late 80s early 90s was the greatest time for R & R since the Purple / Sabbath and UFO days !!

  • 2:38 and 2:43 is SIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK­K!!!!!!!!!! So is the whole solo and song...i love this band!

  • Great hard rocking song.

  • wonder what would have happened if they carried on.miusic was changing but they were damn good.

  • Almost forgot how cool these guys were.

  • :17 Thumbs up if you think the actor who played "Magistrate fleeing from whorehouse" deserved an Emmy. I've never seen guilt and humiliation so well acted; he even has me fearing the incoming storm! :)

  • love this style.very old actually.lots of temptations/rare earth--im losing u.1 of the .the guy was hard rock and motownish.great phrasing..highest voices in rock,,great lost

  • Jake and Ray made a great pair !!!

    RIP Ray !!

  • @502SCS IMHO people ignore Greg Chaisson and Jeff Martin, which is FAIL! Greg is one of the tastiest bass players and knows how to hold down the bottom end, especially when playing w/a guitar player like Jake. Jeff Martin is not only a great drummer but he's a world class singer as well. Check him out w/Racer X, he's got a hell of a range and tons of style. This whole band is world class, it's a shame they didn't do more than they did. I blame the record company for that.

  • @ruggbutt I agree and not taking away from Greg and jeff at all !

    Point well taken

  • What a song; what a band!

  • Great!

  • great video.....great song...great band...rip Ray...miss you so much bro...Joe...

  • tx for posting this great vid - amazing band and fantasic singer

  • IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD THIS SONG IN 20 YEARS.......SOUNDS BETTER THAN EVER!!!!

  • how the fuck could anyone give this a thumbs down? 4 assholes did, for some ungodly reason. may they be struck down by some ungodly disease or terrible accident.....or forced to listen to country music for 24 hours.

  • @reignman2112 - YOU know absolutely N O T H I N G about music ! Here's todays lesson... E AT ME.

  • @pb4ueat1390 wtf are you talking about? read what i wrote dumb ass. i wrote, 'how can anyone give this video a thumbs down'. meaning, 4 people gave this video a thumbs down, meaning they don't like badlands. badlands is awesome. i saw them live, i have all 3 of their cds, you dumb fuck. learn how to read before you thraten somebody jerk off. so you're saying you want people to give it a thumbs down? LEARN HOW TO READ AND COPREHEND.

  • @pb4ueat1390 what a douchebag this guy is. he sends me threatening replies, when he actually fucked up and read my post incorrectly. then he closes his acct. what a an asshole...

  • @reignman2112 Let it go, man. Some people have no clue. You did nothing wrong.

  • Gota love it. Jake e lee was better here than w/ozzy. awesome. a supergroup before their time!

  • @666adamjay Wow, dude.  I definitely agree. Jake just went to another level with Badlands. Way better than with Ozzy.

  • R.I.P Ray... we all miss you:/

  • GREAT BAND!!!

  • kewl

  • 'ol Jake can still ring out the chords, and I agree with imchasentime...Ozzy lost out on this round.

  • Great band. Ozzy still doesn't know what he let get away. But then we wouldn't have Badlands. Thanks Jake for songs that don't sound the same.

  • @imchasentime We wouldn't of had Zakk Wylde and the songs he did with Ozzy either

  • ok... to me, this sounds like a Bad Company song, more than a Badlands, one.

    I *think* I had one of their albums on cassette, tho'. Back before CD.

    And Jack Li, er..... Jake E. Lee, is a fine wah-wah, and blues box player, too.

  • One of the best hard rock albums ever!!!!!!!!

  • Badlands were awesome. Ray is the best man! love jakes guitar. Badlands! one of the best from the late eighties. I still walk around singing this song. Totally brilliant

  • they didnt get shit for credit!!

    these guys were killer and Ray had a world class voice, deff. one of the best ever , such a shame it had to end so early

  • BADLANDS' posthumous third album "Dusk", released long after singer Ray Gillen had passed away: Former BADLANDS singer Ray Gillen, who died on December 3 1993 of AIDS-related complications:(( Tragic loss for Music'. RIP Rat Gillen.

  • You can see through the video that these were rays Sick days

    Sad... Shouldve used a condom

  • jeff martin,racer x's singer on drums...not too bad.

  • RIP Ray

  • outstanding song, vocals, guitar tone, & band. jake e. lee !

  • it´s a PERFECT song. Just plain perfect. Great, great album too

  • f*ck yes!

  • Jake is/was the coolest muth'fucka to ever pick up a guitar!

    What a MONSTER band!

    R.I.P., Ray Gillen.

  • ooolest singing pose ever, feet crossed and hand holding belt buckle........fuckin' right Ray! (RIP)

  • Badlands => Badass ! Just those guy were too modest to use that name

  • Jake E. Lee needs no whammy bar - he got da whammy in him!!!

  • Friggin' DESERT STORM! Chief Gillen, ur vocals have TOTEM-POWER!!! Badlands = BADASS!!!

  • This shits all over so much of today's "music"

  • Badlands made two great albums, and, then disappeared.  Jake E Lee had a winner with this group. Ray Gillen was a great singer, and, Jeff Martin was a great drummer. I miss this music. RIP Ray Gillen :(

  • @southroncross Their is a third Badlands album, 'Dusk', that's just as good. Get it if you can find a copy!

  • class lets rock

  • THESE GUYS KICKED SO MUCH ASS IT ISN'T EVEN FUNNY...RAY GILLEN WAS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS COVERDALE, AND JAKE E. LEE??? FORGET A BOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • CANTA PRA CARALHOOO!!!!

  • FUCK YEAH!! Voodoo highway, great great fukn album. Listen to all of it and I mean reeely listen. Every member of this band was a phenom. Sooo glad I got to see this happen.

  • Chuck Norris was playing the bass guitar.

  • Geile PUSSYMETALLER Mucke. \m/

  • @metalonroad WHAT IN THE HELL DID YOU MEAN WITH PUSSYMETALLER MUCKE???

  • what a super song, and singer, and guitar player, even though eric singer is probably a better drummer, jeff martin is better for the band, and what a super tight drummer, and he is the singer in racer x, talented

  • badass guitarist and a fucking insane vocalist.. this song SCREAMS KICK ASS

  • Simply perfect - nuff said!!!

  • rip ray gillan

  • Fucking bad ass song Jake E Lee kicks ass! One of the great late 80's in your face hard rock bands!

  • Great band! Great vocalist!! Great guitarist!!! Big Thumbs-up with many brilliant ☆s RIP-Ray Thanxoxoxo so much for this awesome music video *^o^*

  • Awesome band, awesome video, awesome everything.  Thanks for sharing this.

  • love this song. My favs were Hard Driver, Devils Stomp, and of course... Winter's Call

  • Sure is windy out there!  Seems like the director must have saying "I've got a fever and the only prescription is...more wind machines!"

  • Sure is windy out there!

  • Jake E. Lee kicks ass. He had (and still has) a completely high energy style and sound. His fills are the coolest. Waaay, waaaaaay underrated. Aside from a handful of Randy solos ("Crazy Train," "I Don't Know," "Over the Mountain"), I've always enjoyed Jake's sense of melody (without the neo-classicisms) much more. He has a really understated but effective style. I wish he would release more stuff in the USA.

  • Great underappreciated and sadly short-lived band. Love it; they had every piece, so I guess it was too good to last :-(

  • @joelpaulsero i think the same :)

  • @joelpaulsero It didn't last because Ray Gillen (vocalist) passed away. The '3rd' Badlands album released after his death was actually the bands demo remastered/remixed. Ray also did an album with BLACK SABBATH before hooking up with Jake E. Lee...while bootlegs of demo's have been around for years, 'The Eternal Idol' was released properly as a 2 disc with Ray's performance on one and Tony Martin's on the other--worth every penny!

  • Thanks for this awesome share,,Badlands was the shit in the day..

  • This band was amazing.

  • 5 Stars

  • Yes!!!! Thank you!!!!

  • Good song, thanks for sharing!

  • anyone know where jake is now?

  • @horacrux

    He lives in Vegas, he still does a few shows every now and then.

  • Jake E. Lee!!! \m/

  • Classic sound 4-real!!!

  • \m/ 80sClassicMetal \m/

  • Very, very good song!!!!!!

  • Ah man thanks for posting this.... I was angry when 80sMetalGod had this posted this then the videos got taken off.

  • Thanks for the post, I've been looking all over for this.

  • kool thanks for the post
