Ye Olde Metal: Badlands' Voodoo Highway

The 2016 Martin Popoff 14-page ebook about the making of the Badlands album, Voodoo Highway.


The shocking story of Badlands’ second and last album, Voodoo Highway is a cautionary tale of how badly the music business was run, back in the wild West days of hair metal, especially when it looked like the gravy train was over. Artists until the bitter end, Badlands insisted on making a bluesy or, more obscure record, and they wound up paying the price for it. Soon their lead singer, Ray Gillen, ex-Black Sabbath, would be dead from AIDS and the band would enter the history books as hard rock legends to those in the know. Of note, Popoff has documented the band’s debut album here as well, so if you’ve got two bucks to spare, well, you can have the whole story.
