Jake E. Lee shot in Vegas

Post by Hair I Go Again »

Just got this press release:

As confirmed by management, legendary rock guitarist Jake E. Lee (Ozzy Osbourne, Badlands, Red Dragon Cartel) was shot multiple times early this morning in a Las Vegas, NV street shooting. Lee is fully conscious and doing well in an intensive care unit at a Las Vegas hospital. He is expected to fully recover.

Las Vegas authorities believe the shooting was completely random and occurred while Lee took his dog out for a walk in the early morning hours. As the incident is under police investigation, no further comments will be forthcoming. Lee and his family appreciate respecting their privacy at this time.

Another reason don’t have a dog
It’s like raising a kid- money-time - calling baby sitter when leaving town for 4 days VIP Aftershock fun

Just get turtle - when you leave town just put it in the back yard
Don’t need to walk turtle daily- it’s the same companionship as dog- way better

He had to go through all that and all the bad guy got was 35 cents and some dog food coupons.

Yeah but what about falling asleep with them in your lap and they need to take a shit?

At least a dog is fast enough to make a mess somewhere other than your pants.

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.

Ozzy Osbourne tells TMZ ... “It’s been 37 years since I’ve seen Jake E. Lee, but that still doesn’t take away from the shock of hearing what happened to him today. It’s just another senseless act of gun violence. I send my thoughts to him and his beautiful daughter, Jade. I just hope he’ll be ok.”

What good comes from walking around the neighborhood at 2:30-3:00am?

Usually not a F#@king thing...

But... it is the time when crack-heads, thieves, criminals and the world's riff-raff are out and about!

Who really thought Jake got a good night sleep, and woke up with a Coffee to take his Dog for a walk at 6:30 or 7:00am, when most normal people wake up?

Not me... I knew it was going to be a 2-3am thing... just sayin'


"""""""""""""""""""Authorities investigating the case do not currently believe Jake was targeted in the bout of violence ... as they believe the incident around 2:40 AM was a "completely random" street shooting. Police are investigating the incident. No arrests have been made, according to Las Vegas Metro Police."""""""""""""""""""""""""""

I’ve heard this before but it’s mentioned again in this article.

Sharon contacted him in 2010 about replacing Zakk for some shows and possibly a new album. Jake said only if he gets his songwriting credits for Bark at the Moon. Sharon said she would call him back the next day. She never did so he took that as a no.

Good chance for Ozzy to stop by the hospital and see Jake.

Ozzy wrote everything on that album...guitars, drums, bass, lyrics. Get over it!

Heavy sarcasm, of course...

Part of me suspects this wasn't "random", given Jake's drug history.

But maybe he was just walking his dog at 240am ....

He got very lucky. I suppose a robbery gone wrong is the most likely scenario.

It happened in this driveway:

https://www.google.com/maps/@35.9891186 ... FQAw%3D%3D

According to reports he was "in his driveway about to walk his dog".

That's a bit weird, that it happened as he was leaving the house. You'd normally lean robbery gone wrong but that's crazy. Would love to hear the full story.

Reviews of the neighborhood on Trulia all remark on how it's a nice, quiet, safe neighborhood. One even says "peope feel safe walking down the street". Shrug.

That does look like a nice neighborhood. So much for the trailer park or it being ghetto af.

It is odd that he was shot in his driveway. Then again Bruce Kulick got shot

Surprised it didn’t say “Update on Jake E Lee, actually, Jake and I are great friends. He obviously lives in Vegas, which is where I bought a second place. It’s great lots of my great friends, obviously all rockers, live out here. Anyway He was hit 3 times. He was hit in the chest , arm and foot. Bullets missed all major organs except lung. But he is doing well and expected to make a full recovery. This info direct from his manager who I’m also really close with, I actually remember he, Jake, myself, Eric Singer, Mike Tramp, and Stephen Pearcy were on one of the rock cruises I was Emceeing and we were talking about the UFO reissue that just had come out. Anyway, Joel do you remember what cruise that was? No, there’s just so many….actually you know what it may have been M3 or Rocklahoma…gosh, I just can’t keep them straight. Anyway, that’s who I just spoke with. Got very lucky thankfully!
