After a decade or so, (last solo CD was about then right?)..he's back, new record with guest vocalists, but is looking for another guest singer..a unknown, that can join the band and take it forward. Kinda mirror's the SLASH solo story. Hopefully, this will be a great straight up hard rock record, that blues infused LA rock, something like what LYNCH MOB have been doing. Great player..a lot of wasted years for us fans. Still love his guitar work on both OZZY records. Will never forget the atmosphere at Donington when he played Killer Of Giants and Never Know Why (sure they played it..remember that haunting intro).

Thanks so much for that confidance boost--really. My biggest hurdle is that I've always been so conservative and humble about my gift as a singer. NOt exactly the kind of traits you go far with in the world of rock,eh? Espescially a front man! lol But I learned the oldschool way and took nods from any & every singer I could about how to present properly onstsage and get the crowd involved and entertained. but I've always felt that I needed a secure regular job to pay those bills,etc. You really need to be a huge risk-taker and think outside the box to do what guys (and girls) in pro bands do. Not a trait just everyone has--espescially me. So it'd be one huge leap of faith for me to try anything like this--and at MY age. Plus--I've always been a weekend warrior with my bands. Never actually toured. So I have no clue whether I could hold up to that regimen. Let's suffice it to say that Jake will take on someone who at least knows the ropes a bit more than the likes of my level of accomplishment. See? That's my conservative nature at work right there.. Thanks again tho-- I do appreciate it! :-) T]]> Terry K.

In the process of recording his new album at Las Vegas' The Hideout Studios — owned and operated by Kevin Churko (OZZY OSBOURNE, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, IN THIS MOMENT) — Lee's first new release will feature a combination of legendary rock artists and some of the biggest names of new metal. Already recorded are guest appearances by Robin Zander (CHEAP TRICK), Paul Di'Anno (IRON MAIDEN), Maria Brink (IN THIS MOMENT), with many other big names attached to the project.

Jake has launched search for a new vocalist who will sing at least one track on the new album and will join Lee on a world tour starting in late spring 2013.

Criteria: Must be capable of singing a couple of OZZY OSBOURNE and BADLANDS songs, plus tracks from Lee's new album while still having a strong enough identity to be able carry the band into the future, as Jake will head straight back into the studio after the touring to begin a new album with the new band.

What to do: Send an email to Ronnie@HideoutLV.com containing an MP3, or a link to an MP3 of yourself singing a OZZY OSBOURNE or BADLANDS songs. Then submit one other song or video of your choosing that you feel best represents who you are as an artist. Listen to BADLANDS' "High Wire" to see the range required for this gig. Only those vocalists that really fit what Lee is looking for will be contacted with further instructions.

Lee's new solo album is being recorded with the help of guitarist Ronnie Mancuso of BEGGARS & THIEVES, whose 2011 video, "We Come Undone", featured an appearance by Jake.

According to the All Music Guide, Lee helped Ozzy Osbourne score two of the most commercially successful releases of the singer's long and illustrious career — 1983's "Bark at the Moon" and 1986's "The Ultimate Sin". Lee eventually joined up with another former BLACK SABBATH singer (albeit briefly), Ray Gillen, and formed the LED ZEPPELIN/classic rock-esque outfit BADLANDS. Subsequently, Lee played briefly with a band called WICKED ALLIANCE before setting off on his own, issuing his solo debut, "A Fine Pink Mist", in August of 1996.

Jake E. Lee's "covers" album, "Retraced", was released in the U.S. in April 2005 via Shrapnel Records. All the songs were recorded in a "power trio" format ala BADLANDS and the tracks for the project were cover songs along that style (bluesy power rock).]]> Daymond NoticeboardTue, 09 Oct 2012 05:28:47 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914595#msg-914595 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914595#msg-914595 Terry K.

That's exactly what he needs, IMO...]]> Pelata NoticeboardTue, 09 Oct 2012 01:31:42 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914582#msg-914582 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914582#msg-914582
Its funny how a few of the classic 80's players have recently rediscovered their fire for getting back their balls in their playing. Lynch with "proper" LM again, Viv Campbell rehearsing with his DIO chums, Sykes, though the gob-shite seemed to have fluffed up again!...now JEL. All we now is Malmsteen to pull his head out of his arse and team up with JLT again.]]> Scott NoticeboardTue, 09 Oct 2012 01:12:26 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914579#msg-914579 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914579#msg-914579

Great underrated player. But with all due respect, please not Oni Logan. He's the reason I never really got into Lynch Mob... the only album I have is that with Mason!]]> Laurent NoticeboardTue, 09 Oct 2012 00:56:22 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914578#msg-914578 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914578#msg-914578 Pelata NoticeboardTue, 09 Oct 2012 00:56:20 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914574#msg-914574 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914574#msg-914574 Walk In The Shadows NoticeboardTue, 09 Oct 2012 00:35:50 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914569#msg-914569 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914569#msg-914569I see there is a bootleg dvd of that show around, will have to see if I can find a copy (anyone ?).]]> Tony Bainbridge NoticeboardMon, 08 Oct 2012 23:28:28 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914566#msg-914566 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914566#msg-914566
If he can resurrect himself like EVH did on the recent album/tour then I'll be both surprised and over the moon. Not holding my breath though.

I'd like to see him really rock and solo like he did with Ozzy.]]> the ORIGINAL brent NoticeboardMon, 08 Oct 2012 23:15:33 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914565#msg-914565 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914565#msg-914565 timstar NoticeboardMon, 08 Oct 2012 22:55:23 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914564#msg-914564 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914556,914564#msg-914564
