35 years ago today Badlands released their debut album. The band included Jake E. Lee, who had recently been fired from Ozzy Osbourne’s band, Ray Gillen, Eric Singer who had recently left Black Sabbath, and bassist Greg Chaisson.

Check out my interview with Greg:

Badlands will always be one of the most criminally underrated Hard Rock/Blues Metal bands around.

Wednesday, March 1: Badlands, “Heaven’s Train”

R.I.P. Ray Gillen (1959-1993)

There was a strange feeling of exhaustion and lack of inspiration on Voodoo Highway.  It was strange because although the first Badlands record didn’t sell a ton of copies, it got great reviews and garnered a small but loyal following.  At the same time, however, it was clear that Atlantic wasn’t very invested in the band, since the follow-up sounded lower budget from the jump (guitarist Jake E. Lee and James Ball co-produced and were clearly less experienced than Paul O’Neill); and with Eric Singer gone for much more lucrative pastures, plus rumors of infighting between Lee and Ray Gillen (not to mention the strong possibility that Gillen knew he had AIDS at this point), perhaps it all made some sense that their next record was a comedown.  As a result of all of this, “Heaven’s Train” sounded like something that would’ve burned down the house on Badlands but came off a bit deflated here.  Lee was still a phenomenal player, and Gillen sang up a storm, but even though the track was an enjoyable listen, something was missing.  It was as if the guys were consummate pros but couldn’t work up the enthusiasm, and when Voodoo Highway did even worse than Badlands at the box office it proved a less than stellar ending to a career that almost was.

Youtubin': Badlands - "Dreams in the Dark"

Youtubin’: Badlands – “Dreams in the Dark”

When this video debuted on MuchMusic in spring of ’89, everybody but Harrison Kopp (who was not born yet) and John Hubner (who was not Canadian) said “Wow that singer really sounds like David Coverdale from Whitesnake!” The VJs said it and the kids said it. Do you agree? Does Ray Gillen resemble Coverdale in any way? Do you hear it too? Let us know in the comments.

9.117 Play the Game

CATO: What’s wrong with Loxton? He lost his bottle? MONROE: Loxton made a decision, based on the circumstances. It was a valid decision. CATO: But was it right? MONROE: I wasn’t there. I don’t believe in second-guessing my men. Steve made his decision and I stand by that.

CATO: This isn’t a bollocking, Andrew. I just wanted to air the issue.

Aidan Gillen guesting, and Cato driving Andrew barmy.

It’s interesting watching Harry’s episodes, knowing he’s going to be in the DI role for such a short time. He’s always competent and insightful, which I think is his big issue as a character, as he’s too similar to Meadows when Jack isn’t in a shouty mood.
