Jake E Lee is dead? I never heard this, will have to check this out. He had some good licks I dug during his tenure with Ozzy.

Jake E. Lee was a well-regarded heavy-metal guitarist, perhaps best known playing with Ozzy Osbourne in the mid-80's.
Jake received some unfair criticism back in those days, because he was being compared to Ozzy's previous guitarist, Randy Rhoads, who died a few years earlier and is now regarded a rock legend these days.
Before joining Ozzy, he was a member of the group Ratt, before that band became famous. He later joined a group called Rough Cutt.

I remember Rough Cutt, they ad members who went on to form Orgy, who had hit with a heaveier, industrialized version of New Order's Blue Monday.

"Throughout the 90's and into the new millennium Jake kept a very low profile. Jake appeared on many tribute albums in the 90's and the millennium. He played on tributes to AC/DC, Rush, Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Metallica and many many more. Jake also started a project called Wicked Alliance with vocalist Mandy Lion, which was a precursor to much of the industrial shock metal, and also briefly joined Bourgeois Pigs with Michael Guy (of House of Lords) and bassist Tony Franklin (The Firm). In 2005 Jake released his first album in 8 years titled Retraced which was made up of blues covers from the 60's and 70's."
