What Records Has Jake E. Lee Played On?

Lee’s career began in the early ’80s when he was approached by singer Ronnie James Dio to join his solo band. The guitarist made some recordings while rehearsing with the group, but Dio shelved the project.

He was then asked by Osbourne to replace his departing guitar player Brad Gillis. Lee joined the former Black Sabbath singer’s band in 1983, appearing on that year’s Bark at the Moon album, as well as the follow-up, The Ultimate Sin, on which Lee shared songwriting credits with Osbourne.

Lee told UCR in 2018 that going on tour with Osbourne wasn’t easy. “I had a whole lot of ‘Randy Rhoads guidelines, you suck,’” he recalled. ” That possibility is gone, ? Randy?s gone, and it?s not like he?s gone to go play in another band. So both you guys need Ozzy to hold up his coat and name it quits or minimize me slightly slack. But during Ozzy, there was all the time a faction of ‘You suck, Randy guidelines.’ So, it gave me robust pores and skin.”

In 1988 Lee formed Badlands, followed by Wicked Alliance in the mid-’90s. He’s also released three solo records since 1996. Since 2014 he’s been a member of Red Dragon Cartel, whose latest album, Patina, came out in 2018.
