Badlands made a great second record together, but the timing was all wrong. If coming out in the summer of ’91 against Van Halen, Metallica, Skid Row, and Guns N’ Roses didn’t mean certain doom, then Kurt, Eddie, Layne and Chris would finish them off. On the road to promote the Voodoo Highway album, Jake E. Lee and Ray Gillen dropped by MuchMusic to chat. The former Ozzy guitarist and former Sabbath vocalist might have had a sense that the album wasn’t getting the push that the debut received, but they don’t let on in this interview. A goofy Jake plays with Ray’s head while Ray tries to answer a question.
Topics:
- Jake not being very good at returning phone calls (the formation of the band)
- Diversity in music
- “The Last Time” music video

Thank goodness I’m old otherwise it could nag me that I ended up tossing all my vhs tapes during a move a long time ago. Had this commercial on tape that Gene and Paul did in my country for asylum album. Remember it taking ages to get on tape since u never knew when it would be shown beforehand. ended up watching and taping a lot of commercials….

They are solid! My preference is to the first, but there’s nothing wrong with the second.

Very cool. I feel like there’s a Badlands album on somebody’s Grail List.

Yes those records are deleted and will never be reissued. For reasons you will understand but you will prefer not to ask.
