Legendary Jake E. Lee Solos

**I made this compilation months ago but copy claims completely butchered and destroyed half the video so... here's what's left I guess. I think the Lightning Strikes, Secret Loser, Never Know Why, and the Killer of Giant's solos definitely got cut as well as some others. Sorry y'all.**

There aren't enough die-hard Jake E. Lee fans and I'm sick of it. Y'all need to listen to these solos, listen to the albums (the ORIGINAL master of BATM not that abomination "remaster" where they cut some of his leads and mixed him lower), and check out some Badlands tunes too cause there be some good shit there. I also dig some of the more recent Red Dragon Cartel material. Solid riffs and leads as always.

This is by no means a comprehensive collection of live solos these are just some of my favorites. Many greats were omitted and some studio tracks with fantastic playing were never played live either. In particular, I left out Shot in the Dark and The Ultimate Sin because the camera work/cinematography totally robbed him of his due glory and I couldn't subject you to that frustration.

I don't own any of this, I just love his playing and I feel he is criminally underrated. I'm so sick of Randy and Zakk fans dissing him. He deserves way more respect than he's given because he's a fucking monster.

Hopefully this doesn't get blocked. Here are sources I used, and I ESPECIALLY recommend that Dortmund concert. Carmine Appice is a guest drummer and the band is totally on fire:

Btw the thumbnail is kinda a silly mashup meme I made of Jake and Robert E Lee lol... just thought it was funny and looked cool, obviously Jake isn't a piece of shit and I don't seriously associate him with that. Be civil and positive towards each other in the comments or gtfo. Spread the gospel of Jake my friends.

Everyone automatically goes to the Randy Rhoad’s solo’s (or Zack Wilde) when talking about Ozzy’s guitar players but Bark at the Moon has some of the best written solo’s that you’ll ever hear.
Jake E Lee is so underrated.
Great video 👍.

I know Randy wrote those solos but the confidence and execution of Jake is unreal. He improvises and toys a little with Randy's solos and it sounds amazing. Also he probably has the best stage presence of and rock/metal player. just in complete control

[TacomaGraphicArtist]

I love how Jake keeps the essence of Randy’s solos but puts his own stamp on it too. Ballsy move considering how soon this was after Randy’s death

[billyj]

I was fortunate enough to see Jake and Randy both.. awesome…

[serdavezilla]

I just saw him activate every possible harmonic on the instrument 🤯

[robertbuchanan]

Not a bad thing can be said about jakes guitar playing. Absolutely mind blowing

[strattuner]

his own style, his own music, his own genius talking on that CHARVEL, HE AMAZES

[charlesstevens]

Not only incredibly technically proficient, but had a special way of bringing the best out of Ozzy with his songwriting skills."Bark at the moon "and "The ultimate sin "were by far best albums of Ozzy's carrer.

I saw the Ultimate Sin tour when it came to Market Square Arena in Indy. Jake is such a badass. Many guitarist can sound good in the studio, but live in front of 44, 000 people is a whole other level.

Next to Randy, my fav of all Ozzy virtuoso guitarists. He didn’t use tremolo and seemed to have such tremendous range and could play everything seemingly effortlessly, just among the best ever. And is rarely considered among that group but should be.

One of my all-time favorite players- nobody attacks a guitar the way he does

[rickcaldis]

Jake is why Ozzy popular in 80’s. His look, style is what bridged ozzys “darker sabbath like metal” to the ‘80s flamboyance and distinctive sound. I idolize Randy but no better replacement at time. I dare say on absolute shred scale, Jake prevails.

Sad this hasn't gotten more views after a year. Jake is still under rated as a guitarist and performer. Thank you for posting this.

[theguitarram]

What an absolute beast. As much of a legend as Randy is, and deservedly so, Jake is my favorite Ozzy guitarist. Incredibly clean live player. And Badlands?? I mean cmon!

[armandomorenotherevival]

Jake was my favorite of all the ozzy guitarists .

[Eddie-In-Las-Vegas]

Hands down the guy that took technique, tricks, and licks from the greatest and made it his own voice that spoke with his guitar.
A true musician that was giving every shredder back in the day a run for their money, even Yngwie, because Jake was an overall well rounded player and never stuck to some certain style or technique that categorized him. Jake was in a category all in his own and that's what every guitar player strives to accomplish in the end. Good for you Jake, you reached that area only few have been.

[BenJammin]

Jake could put more energy and talent into one solo, than some did their entire set. He really put on a show!

[warborn_inc.]

Jake will always be my absolute favorite player. He is a complete beast and Ive been lucky enough to meet him several times...great guy.

[blaklyte]

He had an incredibly natural swagger & method to his style... amazingly original... his badlands stuff was also killer.

[timevans]

What else can be said. Dude is a monster and grossly underrated. Should be in any conversation about Randy, Eddie, Nuno orJimi
