In 1987 Lee left Osbourne's band, with Osbourne concentrating on the release of the Randy Rhoads Tribute album.
Lee formed the blues-based metal band Badlands in the summer of 1988. Badlands consisted of Lee, former Black Sabbath singer Ray Gillen, former Black Sabbath drummer Eric Singer and bassist Greg Chaisson. Badlands released their self-titled debut album in 1989. In 1991 Singer was fired and replaced with drummer Jeff Martin (who was also the vocalist for Surgical Steel and Racer X). Badlands then released Voodoo Highway, a more blues-oriented album. On the tour, Gillen was fired and replaced by John West. Gillen later died in 1993 at 34 years old from AIDS-related complications. In 1998, Badlands released the album Dusk, which included previously unreleased material with Gillen.
In 1996, Jake released an instrumental solo album titled A Fine Pink Mist. The album had good reviews and was compared to Joe Satriani's Surfing With the Alien.
Throughout the 1990s and into the new millennium Lee mostly kept a low profile, aside from appearing on many tribute albums. Amongst others, he recorded tributes to AC/DC, Rush, Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Metallica. Lee also began a project called Wicked Alliance with vocalist Mandy Lion, which was a precursor to much of the industrial shock metal. He also briefly joined Bourgeois Pigs with Michael Guy (of House of Lords) and bassist Tony Franklin (The Firm). In 2005 Lee released his first album in eight years titled Retraced, which was made up of blues covers from the 1960s and 1970s.

The best I ever knew of Jake was when he started "Badlands" I love the first album!!! I did`nt know that he was with Ozzy! If you are a Nightranger Fan, You should know that after Randy Rhoades was killed in a helicopter accident, Brad Gillis took his place,then quit to help form Nightranger! This happened "Before" this "Wigger Crap" infested the "small" minds of our young people who are SO easily misled ! Glad I`m Dying Before Too Long!!! The 80`s RULE!!!

far too subjective of a query to ask. there is no longer ONE superb guitarist ever. there are a number of that're or have been super of their very own way. %. de Lucia, Django Reinhardt, Robert Johnson, Al Di Meola, Hendrix, Clapton, internet site, Jeff Beck, Randy Rhoads, David Gilmour, Johnny iciness, Eddie Van Halen. i might desire to bypass on and on, and by no ability run out of names of gamers who rank between the greats. yet i would not ever attempt to lift one in all them over something. they might not, so why might desire to I? Is Jimmy internet site between the final guitarists ever? actually. Is he the final? No. no person is.
