Ron was singing the melody, and he has just a God-awful voice. Ron and I were working well together and the turning point was when we wrote “Feeder”. It was very noncommittal I didn’t feel the need to go out and do anything. It would be real casual, come down, bring some of your ideas with you and Ron to see if the song writing chemistry is still there.

Ron has his own studio, so there wouldn’t be any limit as far having to pay for studio time. Kevin said he would mix and executive produce it. In the meantime Pete and Kevin Turcotte, who has a studio right next to Ron’s, got together and approached me on whether I’d be interested in doing some kind of record.

It wasn’t my video but there was so much talk about, “Is Jake back? Is Jake going to do something?” There seemed to be a lot of people still interested in me after all these years. I said, “No.”, “Well, go to You Tube and look for the video and be sure to read the comments.” There was just so much about me. I said, “Why not?” A week later, Ron called me up. We reconnected, and said he was going to make a video for a Beggars and Thieves song and asked if I was interested in making a cameo. In fact, he helped write “Rock ‘n’ Roll Rebel” for Bark at the Moon. He told me that Ron Mancuso was also living in Vegas, as well. When I moved one of the few people that I knew was Pete Reveen, guitarist for Salty Dog. Lee: Well, I made the move to Vegas from L. I know you’ve probably been asked this a million times, but what was the catalyst for coming back to the music business? Robert Cavuoto: I’m thrilled you are back writing and performing. It was truly an honor to speak to one of my all time favorite guitar heroes about this new release and talk about his time with Ozzy Osbourne. Infectious songs such as “Shout It Out,” “Wasted” and “Slave” showcase the band’s ability to write memorable hooks with great vocal melodies. The Red Dragon Cartel debut CD also features various guest appearances from some of music’s most notable faces including: legendary Cheap Trick vocalist Robin Zander, original Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Di’Anno, Kill Devil Hill/Pantera bassist Rex Brown, Slash’s Conspirators Todd Kearns and Brent Fitz and In This Moment front woman, Maria Brink.įrom the opening riff of “Deceived” to final sustained piano chord of “Exquisite Tenderness,” it is clear Red Dragon Cartel has created a great hard rock album. Lee is best known for his work in Badlands and as guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne on Bark at the Moon and The Ultimate Sin. His new band, Red Dragon Cartel, is looking to fill the creative void in the hard rock world with their latest North America release due out on January 28th. Lee is back and it’s been far too long for his fans.
