2014 Red Dragon Cartel


This band is spearheaded by Jake E. Lee, ex-Ozzy Osbourne & Badlands guitarist and his good friend Ronnie Mancuso. The band came together from a facebook page, “Jake E. Lee needs a lead singer and drummer”, which got over 1000 submissions. From this facebook page, their vocalist Darren James Smith and drummer Jonas Fairly were brought in.

Prior to this, Jake had been pretty much in seclusion since the loss of Ray Gillen and the demise of Badlands. He was prodded back into action by Ronnie Mancuso, bassist for Red Dragon Cartel and guitarist for Beggars & Thieves along with the talents of Producer Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie, Hinder) and his son, Kane Churko. Kane is the writer for Five Finger Death Punch & In This Moment. And Red Dragon Cartel was born!

Red Dragon Cartel put together their first album in a similar fashion that Slash put together his first album.......with many guest vocalists and musicians such as Robin Zander (Cheap Trick) and Paul DiAnno (Iron Maiden).

The first live video I saw of Red Dragon Cartel from last December was ok-at-best. Jake sounded good, the rest of the band was quite average. More and more videos are coming out now from their current club tour and they are sounding better and better. The lead singer is doing a pretty good job on the Badlands stuff and isn't quite so horrible on Ozzy tracks anymore.

This is interesting and sad yet also put a smile on my face. Apparently there was a show cancelled yesterday with a claim that it was the fault of RDC, yet here is a photo and an explanation directly from RDC on their FB site:

Regrettably the Jake E Lee Red Dragon Cartel show in Wolverhampton was cancelled last night due to the sole actions of one individual: Denise Dale.

Firstly, any or all claims faulting Jake E Lee, The Red Dragon Cartel and/or it's crew for the cancelation of the Wolverhampton show is categorically false and untrue. Secondly, Jake E Lee and the band, looking forward to playing the show, had loaded in gear, and prepared for soundcheck when Denise Dale arrived at the venue.

She harassed The Red Dragon Cartel's tour manager and guitar tech, demanding they leave and threatened arrest based on groundless empty claims.

The aforementioned former booking agent for the Red Dragon Cartel, had taken philosophical differences between herself and a close personal friend of Jake's, which resulted in a series of unprofessional, childish actions by Mrs. Dale.

Mrs. Dale was given multiple opportunities and solutions to defuse the situation. She refused and chose to escalate matters.

This is the ONLY reason this show did not happen. She, along with the consent of the club management, canceled the show for no other reason other than a petty personal dispute. PERIOD. We again apologize to the all our fans, especially the ones who took time from work and drove in from out of town. We also wish Mrs. Dale good luck with her diminishing career as a booking agent.

And to reconfirm her immature and juvenile actions, she will be posting and reposting her false statement all over and over again

Sincerely,
RDC
