Ep 4. Jake E. Lee (former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist / Badlands) and Rick Allen (Def Leppard)

That Metal Show season 12, episode 4 features two legendary rockers, Jake E. Lee and Rick Allen. Jake E. Lee is best known for his time as the guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne in the mid-80s. He was the creative force behind some of Ozzy's most iconic tracks, such as "Bark at the Moon" and "The Ultimate Sin." Later, he founded the band Badlands and continued to showcase his talent as a lead guitarist.

Rick Allen, on the other hand, is the drummer for the British rock band Def Leppard. He joined the band when he was just 15 years old and has been a part of the band's success ever since. He also faced a great deal of adversity when he lost his left arm in a car accident in 1984. However, he didn't let that stop him from continuing to play, and he developed a unique drumming style that allowed him to continue to be an integral part of the band's sound.
