Re: Badlands

I only own the first one from these guys but it is definitely a kick ass
shredding , screaming 80's metal fest .LOVE IT \m/

I guess I should get around to checking the other to out but I have heard from friends that they are not as good as the debut .

Re: Badlands

Throwing my 2 cents in here. Loved these guys and as already said, the debut was a 5 star classic but Voodoo Highway had a few tunes that I really liked as well.

R.I.P. Ray!!

Re: Badlands

I didn't discover these guys until about 3 years ago. great underrated band and too short lived. Talented musicians all across the board.

Re: Badlands

I remember when I got their first album, right after it came out, I was blown away by it. Jake E Lee was one of the best and most underrated guitarists of the 80's into the 90's.

Ray Gillen (RIP) had the perfect voice for this band too. It's a damn shame he died so young.

Re: Badlands

Rumblin' Train .. easily one ofmy favorites by these guys.



Totally different from anything else they did on the first two albums. Bluesy, yet hard and dirty where it needs to be as well. I can easily see see a song like this fitting in on Kenny Wayne Shepherd's first album.

Streets Cry Freedom



Another really cool tune off of their debut album. I got this disc when it first came out and this was immediately one of my favorites
