Some more video from our show at The Aztec Theatre In San Antonio Texas.
Thanks John!Love the riffage starting at 2:46. Smokin' the frets Bishop. All I can say is \m/ (^_^) \m/
Thanks Rick!Wow, nice stuff @bishop5150 You have the tone going on there!
Thanks man. I cheat on the outro solo though. Jake does this big stretch and it’s his or miss if I try to do it live. LOL! So I make it a string skipping riff instead. Sounds exactly the same but easier to play than Jake’s way.Been waitin' for this one! Great job all around but special props on the solos, you nailed them and made them look effortless.

It’s technically right. I’m playing the right notes but Jake plays it in a different position. Jake plays it using this huge stretch on the last section of it. You can see it in this video. I make it easier on myself. LOL!...if you're talking about the very last riff , I'm pretty sure I play it the same way you did. I thought it was right. ?
Sounds good.

Jake is a very unorthodox player. His stuff is the most difficult for me. Our video for Journey to the Center of Eternity from the Bark at the Moon album is almost finished. I will be posting it when it’s done. That solo is brutal.Geesh , lol..... Looks like I wasn't even playing the same song !
I always play covers the easiest way I can. USUALLY , the simplest way , is the way it's originally done.
That first Badlands album is incredible. Jake’s playing and tone are monstrous. Try this link to the video.I've been on a Jake E. Lee kick lately. Listening to Ultimate Sin and his Badlands stuff. I think it's mainly because I recently bought a Charvel and love it combined with the Brit #34 model. I like the dynamics of the single coils with that amp. You can play softer and it sounds clean but then dig in and flip to the HB's and it's ripping.
It sucks that Badlands 1st album is no longer published. The only place I can hear it is on YouTube. There's one of the later albums on iTunes I checked out. Jake does a lot of pick up switching and plays with a little less gain but sounds great of course.
The video in this thread wants me to login to Google but still won't play for me..... I'll figure it out cuz I wanna hear.
Thanks man. Appreciate the kind words. I have a lot of fun with these guys.That was outstanding. Your singer even has that dead eyed Ozzy stare down pat. Band is killer.
