Jake E. Lee is a guitar god, but his “big return” with Red Dragon Cartel just turned into a total dumpster fire. We’re breaking down the footage from their first gig, and it is brutal. Imagine waiting 20 years to see a legend, only to have some out-of-shape guy stumble on stage and scream that he’s “f***ing drunk” before butchering every song. It’s embarrassing, it’s unprofessional, and it’s exactly why the music industry is in the toilet. We compare the real performance to a guy who actually has talent, and the difference will make you sick. If you want to see a career end before it even starts, this is the episode for you.
