Mandy Lion / Jake E. Lee "The Rust"

This is a song Mandy Lion and Jake E. Lee wrote while working together in "Wicked Alliance".
Jake E. Lee is know for his work with Ozzy Osbourne and Badlands before collaborating with Mandy Lion.

Mandy Lion of course is the lead singer and master mind of Hollywood recording super band WWIII which featured Jimmy Bain of Rainbow and Dio, Vinnie Appice of Black Sabbath, Dio and Heaven and Hell.

Mandy Lion's WWIII; An artist with a band that defines Heavy Metal in a BIG way with monstrous grooves, catchy riff-laden songs, and a unique sonic signature completely unto itself. Singer, mastermind, and front man Mandy Lion has led this electrifying band through the years with his incredible voice and larger-than-life persona. The original lineup boasted Joe Floyd (Warrior) on guitar, Jimmy Bain (Rainbow, Dio) on bass, and Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio) on drums. Lion achieved an intense sound early on, setting WWIII vastly apart from other groups of the Heavy Metal genre in the process. Lion has fronted many other lineups with such legendary musicians such as George Lynch (Dokken, Lynchmob), Jake E. Lee (Ozzy Osbourne, Badlands, WWIII), James Kottack (Kingdome Come, Scorpions, WWIII), Mikkey Dee (King Diamond, Dokken, Motorhead, WWIII) and many others. Mandy Lion is the originator of the extreme power vocal. Just about everyone who is anyone these days is trying to duplicate what Lion created years ago but none have succeeded. Imagine Rob Zombie's intense growl combined with Ronnie James Dio's explosive talent and Rob Halford's infinite range. Lion's inhuman power and growl technique fused with an unmistakably mystifying delivery makes it impossible for any vocalist to recreate his unearthly style. On top of that, Lion's insightful lyrics paint the reality of the world we live in today with imagery and vision while presenting it with masterful conviction. Mandy Lion started a Metal vocal revolution which has ultimately spawned such popular bands as White Zombie, Korn, Disturbed, Pantera, Static X, as well as countless others... About the man himself... Leather-clad and lethal with his 2000 LB 700+HP custom Chevy V8 motorcycle ("the Phantom") and his 100 caliber custom revolver is none other than "The Beast" himself, Mandy Lion. The most dynamic and engaging front man music has ever known, Lion dominates any concert venue with his uniquely textured voice and ultra-powerful stage presence.

what is the song actually about?

[MandyLionWWIII]

@cbx750frider

You have great timing... I just popped on here.

While I was on tour with WA one night Jake and I were up late while driving on the bus. We got to talking about horrible diseases and at some point Jake pointed out to me that in San Francisco people started calling aids "Rust". Once I heard that it wasn't long until it turned into a lyric and Jake came up with these ungodly heavy riffs. Jake is one of the most gifted guitarists I have ever worked with. Thank you for your kind words.

@MandyLionWWIII

love the stuff and great riffing.Jake is a player that is severely underrated in my opinion.

A good riff always creates a killer track and thats one of them!Currently I am working on a few riffs in my own band,just got solos to lay down for the tracks and im done.both easy riffs to play but most effective in the arrangment .Just a thought but...Maybe you should get jake back on board again?

[cbx750frider]
