i believe that he went to ozzy after badlands

[njtattoo2]

no Jake was with Ozzy before Badlands and Ray was with sabbath before Badlands

[mommiequeerest]

Rest in peace, Ray - you were a one of a kind!

What an awesome band Badlands was!

[indychapter]

Ray Gillen was one of the greats. What an awesome metal voice! I miss Badlands. I saw them at a small club in Indy in 1989 - blew the roof off the joint. One of the lesser-known gems of hard rock history for sure.

they sounded just like the cd when you saw them live and I see them 5 times. A band that stuck to the nusic they liked to play.Someone tell APPLE they have the wrong BADLANDS on I Tunes where is Badlands self title and Voo Doo Highway. Rest in Peace Ray!

badlands chugs out the blues sweetly and in a straight line. Faithful. When you feel so whipped up and lost in a salad of hard rocking acts don't despair. dust off your badlands records, press play button then listen to jake's rumbling train intro riff. tell me if there is more art and science to the sweet blues still waiting to be understood, moving forward. Stray away from the badlands definition and be prepared to be sucked into a celluloid fantasy twirl. but then again don't forget that yo

What's Jake up to these days?

@freebanger You need a serious history lesson bro. Go back and do your homework on this.

[wiz9496]

@njtattoo2 And Eric Singer was with KISS after Badlands.

@longwhip ...Indeed...

[futuremed2]

I was at that show and have some still pics. Do have the full length video for trade or sale?

[longwhip]

Love the "solo" departure from the album...and the feel of playing live is the best in the world for this. Jake had the right formula with this band and will never find this formula again without Ray....I could only hope some young dude is studying Ray Gillen's vocal style and will someday emerge before ALL is said and done and we are too old to enjoy that moment!!! Peace in Rest Ray!

@ih8thishit

Man, you couldn't be more wrong on all counts, except that Ray had the look. He was MILES beyond most any vocalist of that era, and this song is hardly a ZZ Top rip off. Do you know how many songs use those chords or similar riffs? It's just a shuffle blues.

@freebanger: Ray Gillen DID sing for Sabbath and it's IAN GILLAN not Jon!!!
