former Badlands bassist Greg Chaisson is joining Jake's Red Dragon Cartel! best news i have heard in a long time!! Greg is quite possibly my biggest inspiration, and its awesome that he will be hitting stages again. he did one show with RDC a few months back and seems to have a lit fire under his ass to get ouot playing again!

from RDC's facebook:

yea, theres was nothing wrong with the other guy really, but he did lack a certain fire. and he was actually a guitarist playing bass, rather than being an actual bassist. greg is just so aggressive and out front with his playing though, i love what he does so much, cant wait for a chance to see it happen live!

How are we feeling about Red Dragon Cartel these days?

Jake’s Ozzy albums are my fave Ozzy solo albums, and I really enjoyed Badland’s “Dusk” album. Jake wrote most of those, and overall I’m a fan of his rhythm style.

I’m not hearing hooks on the RDC tracks I’ve heard so far, but I’m guessing it’s more like Badlands and just takes repeat listens.

I really haven't followed RDC, but I've been following Greg Chaisson's work in his new band, Atomic Kings. Fans of 70's blues-based hard rock will really like it! Their debut album is available on Tonehouse Records and most major streaming services. Atomic Kings
