Lee and his band Red Dragon Cartel owe their lives to the razor-sharp instincts of their limousine driver, who turned a potential inferno into a narrow escape on a California freeway. The harrowing incident unfolded on September 9, 2015, as Lee and the band were cruising in a massive 30-foot stretch Hummer limo along the bustling I-280 near San Jose, heading to a high-stakes gig. What started as a routine ride quickly turned nightmarish when thick smoke began billowing into the cabin, triggered by a…

Legendary guitarist Jake E. Lee has broken a decades-long silence and laid bare the real reason his supergroup Badlands – widely regarded as one of the most talented bands of the late ’80s and early ’90s – never reached the heights it deserved: the hair-metal machine crushed it. In a blistering new interview with Base Sport, the former Ozzy Osbourne and Badlands mastermind didn’t hold back. “We got completely misrepresented,” Lee says. “The label (Atlantic Records) tried to shove us into the hair-metal box because that’s what was selling. We weren’t that, and we never wanted to be.” Formed in…
