Tell me about it. My wife wonders why I don't like the dog. I like the dog, but I dislike being constantly inconvenienced by it. Let someone else pay for the food, medication, vet bills, boarding, etc. and then I'll be the dog's #1 fan.

I love how he uses it in context of the more melodic Night Ranger songs. But I'm not sure it fit very well in Black Sabbath songs or Randy Rhoads songs.

JAKE E. LEE Says He Was Shot After He Confronted 'A Couple Of Thieves' Checking Out A Neighbor's Motorcycle

And some brief details about that night. Walking home from our walk Coco and I crossed paths with a couple of thieves. Dressed darkly, hoodies pulled down their faces and masks covering their mouths. Standing in a neighbor’s driveway checking out his motorcycle. There was a verbal confrontation which ended with an agreement that I would walk one way and they would walk the opposite. That didn’t work out. I’ll probably talk in more detail about it later but right now I can only comfortably do a little at a time.

I dunno if Jake would have enough pinch harmonics to make it work, though.

It's pretty much the dog's fault because of this. He'll likely shoot the dog next.

If you grew up on Sabbath, it prolly sounded like blasphemy. But That album was where I heard all the Sabbath songs first, and they all seemed to be reworked to fits as Ozzy songs. By the time I got the original Sabbath albums they sounded murky, slow, and from a long bygone era.

Of course, I love the originals, but I'll always have a soft spot for Gillis' versions. And SOTD is one of my fave live albums, and almost certainly the one i've listened to the most.

I believe Jake's story about encountering a couple of thieves. I don't get all the talk about it being drug related. Sure Jake partied a little bit, but that doesn't mean he is out there slinging dope on the streets in Vegas. Jake seems like a really good guy. I just watched his newest ToneTalk interview and he is about as humble as one can be. I'm very happy to hear that he is alright. That easily could've been the end for him. Hopefully the pieces of shit who shot him try and rob the wrong person one of these days and get fucked up!

It seemed that way based on the original information given. I also believe his story.

Look, is it possible it went down the way Jake says, sure....

Is it likely? I'm not as sure. First, convenient how they were entirely covered up so he can provide zero identifying features.
Second, if the "beef" was resolved (apparently) and he wasn't even the robbery target, why do you unload 15 shots into him?

I know thugs and all that, but the fact that he wasn't even a target of robbery makes the amount of shots odd....

A witness who's let down his guard is easier to kill.

Yes, men entering a bank in daylight with security cameras tend to be covered in ski masks. Guys in a residential neighborhood at 230am in the darkness looking to nab a motorcycle aren't typically covered like that, but that's a guess. I haven't done a formal survey of small-time, late-night motorcycle thieves in Vegas. Maybe they all know to be fully covered because of Nest cameras or whatever....

But this "witness" couldn't identify anybody, right? (see above about their head-to-toe coverings), so the motivation to kill him is attenuated. Plus, they (apparently) haven't stolen anything yet (according to Jake, they are scouting the bike), so why kill a witness to nothing yet? But yeah, 15 shots from a distance (apparently, since they missed so many) seems not only excessive but even bizarre -- remember, they are trying to avoid detection as thieves (purportedy) -- nothing avoids detection better than firing 15 shots at someone in the middle of the night....

As I said, it's entirely possible his story is truthful, seemingly senseless violence happens all the time. But if I'm a police investigator (and, obviously, I should be), I might dig a little deeper on this one....

Everyone on the fucking planet has a phone. Why the fuck should they wait for him to call the police? These guys aren't Rhodes scholars on sabbatical from Harvard.

Good luck on that police job. Even Reno and Mayberry will circular file your app.

Maybe its just me, but if I'm out "walking my dog" in the middle of the night and come across a couple of dudes in ski masks with nobody else around, they could be loading my neighbor's corpse into the trunk of their fucking car for all I care. I'm gonna put my head down and keep walking

I had the same thought. If his story is true (probably is) he was insane to confront them.

Yes, could have been a relapse from kudos of the interview that led to a phone call in the middle of the night to keep the high going, or could have also been avoidance of emotions or responsibility from the interview. His phone could have been ringing off the hook all day of peeps saying how great he's going to be, etc....and that builds on you. There's been many of times that I've won an award, or closed a great deal and as peeps were giving me accolades and telling me how great I am I just wanted to grab a 12-pack and close the door. Addiction fucks with you like that.

And def not a "hit" from a previous occurrence, as unless he walks his dog at the same time every night how would they know he'd be outside at that time?
