Pretty cool. I had never seen this before and thought I would share it. Apologize in advance for not knowing how to embed from my phone.

Jake was a monster-unique player, never heard the Bolin comparison

I think the Badlands stuff was more his style (dirty hard rocking blues type) was probably a little better suited for him. He seemed to have some magic with the singer (he passed away, i think his name was Gillen?..) Anyway Jake was good in Ozzy, (very good) but he was also good in Badlands, he is like a little sloppy but just awesome at the same time

His most recent record was 'so-so' (from the clips i saw/heard, not bad but not great either) with his new band, but at least good 2 see Jake playing again

The singer was Ray Gillen. He died of AIDS in December of 1993.



As far as the Bolin comparison, Jake has mentioned him as an influence from time to time. I don't hear it so much in Jake's rhythm guitar playing and song writing but moreso in his leads.

Yeah I know Bolin was a huge influence. In fact I believe Jake named his first band Teaser after the Bolin album.
My comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek, mainly referring to the slide and the fact the two look a bit alike. Although, I definitely hear a little of the "Wild Dogs" extended solo in some riffs here.

Thanks for the embed.
