Songs Played Here : 1. heaven and hell (black sabbath) 2. another piece of meat (scorpions) 3. rock n roll (led zeppelin) JUST AWESOME ! FANTASTIC !

I love how Ray sings to the sky. He is like a bird reaching for his voice

You can thank me for this people. I got this from Ray's mom after he died and traded it out a few times in the late 90's/early 2000's.

Hi Everyone, I have the digital copy of this video I was the bass player- I will post it soon. To the few people that criticize the video about sound quality are complete assholes knowing where this was filmed -I grew up with Ray and he went on to do much better things obviously but we can take a look back at some of the things he did a 22 years old that makes this video special. What made This video special he would sing the Beatles, and Judas Priest and Led ZeppelinAnd Van Halen -he had tremendous range and great stage presence that you can see at a young age. I have some other photos much better videos this was the beginning of SAVAGE-we went on to do much better things better songs all over New Jersey clubs like the hole in the wall, Soap factoryMothers in Wayne. At the time the clubs had Twisted Sister, TT quick, Molly hatchet, and Jessie bolt, and white tiger. Best time of my life enjoy the video and don’t be too worried about sound quality and delay in the guitar. This video is about Ray- rest in peace my brother!!

when we were younger, the videos of the 50's and 60's looked old and not today, looking back at our hayday, again, it looks old as shit..lol but we were there!!!! how lucky are we..

wow this is old!! I have somewhat rediscovered Badlands and have become amazed at Ray's voice. Very sad circumstances surrounding his death. His voice on the 3 badlands discs were really perfection. RIP Ray

Raw talent. Turned into one of the best rock voices ever.

Mr. Raymond Arthur Gillen Rest In Peace 🎶🎼🎤😭🙏

His voice got even better as it matured.

Mr. Paul Raymond Gillen Rip 🔥🎤💪👊🤘😎 Great Singer Criminally Uderrated 🔥🎤🤘👊😎

This doesn’t do him justice, One of the best rock singers that ever lived .

Gold for the guy who shared it! Now it's the oldest known video with Ray available on KZfaq, I think. Thanks thanks thanks 🔥🔥🔥❤️

I use to go see Ray all the time in the clubs in Jersey He was with Harlot at that time with George on drums and Ross on guitar from Lodi R.I.P. Ray

Black✟✝️✞Sabbath with Ray Gillan is priceless!

Drummer in this video is Donald Siudmak who left SAVAGE to join SSSTEELE then went on to found PLATINUM who's first Album was titled "ICEMAN" Rising Sun Records Hamburg Germany 1989. Several tracks from ICEMAN on KZfaq. Also on KZfaq is PLATINUM's Video from First EP Here To Fight from 1987. To see video search PLATINUM-in the middle of the night 1987

Little did he know when he did this, he'd eventually actually be in Sabbath for a minute

Dante Brando on the bass..two words...Oh, yeah!

I'm so glad this video is available . I've watched up to a thousand times 😃 I wish that videos that a lot of people probably have somewhere in the attics will finally appear on the Internet...

Ray was awesome even here. Such exceptional talent. Thank you very much !!!!

This is absolutely brilliant stuff! I've been a Ray Gillen fan for years but I'd never come across anything he did before Rondinelli and that makes this video a real treat.Thank you very much for posting it! Ray was one of the most talented singers of all time and certainty one of the best of his generation and videos/music like this only reinforce those facts. Awesome footage! Thanks again & R.I.P. Ray.

That was fucking great 👍

Ray Gillen fuck'n singer, RIP Ray!!!

thank you rays mom ,and most of all thank you ,for sharing this with us,just love it!!

Wow this is so rare. Thank you for posting. Savatage was bad ass RiP Former lead men. God bless Dave Herman the LD for after dark shows. Real rock.

Rays wiki page should be updated it’s lists his stint with Savatage when it was Savage the Band is with here.

It states that Ray Glllen was 24 in this video, however he was born on May 12, 1959, so he was 23, maybe even 22 if this was recorded before May 12, 1982. Nonetheless, at 22, 23, or 24, Ray had the power in his voice, & was a perfect fit when he replaced Glenn Hughes on the spot back in 1986. Three years later, he completely rocked on the debut Badlands album! His passing & the terrible circumstances surrounding his death in December 1993 hit me pretty hard at the time. I was so lucky to have seen him live three times, once with Sabbath in 1986 & twice with Badlands in 1989 & 1991. He kicked major ass at each show & I consider him one of my all time favourite vocalists. Of course, Ronnie James Dio is tops on my list!

As cool as it is seeing Ray sing a Sabbath tune here in 82’, his voice was much more suited to RNR by Zep then. He crushed that cover! Damn good band too. RIP Ray ..

Ray definitely went on to improved greatly as a singer....and his hair did too

FULLY BLITZING! I wish Ray were still around.

He's known for his high loud powerhouse range, but I actually prefer when he sings more bluesy . like he did on Badlands Dusk. Same with David Covrrdale.

Thanks for sharing this Kevin Richards! This is a gem.. And so was Ray! Thanks !

Ray Gillen- amazing

Where does the time go. It seems like yesterday when we were running through the fields.

Thank you!!

oro puro que vocalista señores!!!!!

He sang Black Sabbath stuff before joined them. Great voice

Yes thank you this was awesome he sounds incredible the band rocks more please

I closed my eyes and I thought was badlands pre- sessions.... the same voice since he was young...

Ray Gillen was just amazing ❤

So sad amazing voice gone in a decade

This was his band that played la mores! This was before his range opened up and before people were using the drop d! He was my pal. Parents were great folks! Shame he went to young. I have tapes but I’ve Gota dig them up but I’ve gotten!

Awesome rip ray chester. And chris cornell

thanks a lot.

wow, what a gem. ray's full vocal power and looks not quite there yet, the b part of the sabbath song was really good. and no problem belting out robert plant.

Ray's voice is so light, "Heaven and hell" sounds so highly although the tune is the same as in the original.

Heaven&Hell, it’sJUST for RONNIE😁🤘I’m like Ray, but no proud this song🤤Ronnie it’s ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT‼️Ray also 👦 boy...after this voice great🙌it’s so young, Voice it’s....🙈After, yes, yes RAY💕💋

A girl I dated back in 1990 played me a 45 of a band that her dad played drums in back in the late 70s. Ray was the singer, band was called F66, if I am not mistaken.

Well Thank you!

Awesome! If this is indeed 1982, Ray was merely 21 years old.....An amazing talent who left us way to early.....RIP RAY...........

❤

Happy birthday Ray 🔥❤🤘

The second song is "Another Piece of Meat," by the Scorpions, which I had never heard them sing before. It seems more metal than what the Scorpions would do, more like Black Sabbath. Ah, the good ol' days!

SENSACIONAL! \o/

Cliffside Park's own

Was Savage just a cover band ? Ray was born in 1959 and in 1981 he was 22,Not 24.

wow nobody would even try these tunes back then

He had a good voice

Un dels millors.

Rays killer.

Platinum- In the middle of the night

Ray is very young and very raw here great stuff.

So, was it '81 or '82?, ... The video title say's '81 but the first thing the video itself says it's 1982 so who's lyin'?? lol

Реймонд красава,твой так называемый взлет

oops....my bad math....Ray was 23

Correction needed. This is from 1981.

🤘🎚️🔉🪔✝️🕊️🎆🌹💝

I'll have to post my version of this - much better quality and color. This looks washed out.

Oh your missing a band! Before he went to sabo we recorded several songs! I’ve got the tapes! HMU I will post a link!

Dan Brando is my uncle

Mean I’ve got the tspes

Why doesn’t the drummer play the hi-hats right ? Sorry. That stuff just bugs me.

Way too much delay in the guitar sound.

...hmm. wondering if this was all a ruse to eventually get ray a try out with.... ...Black Sabbath...

how old is Ray here?

6:56 first symptoms of his pending disease...

"Dude look like a...."

Just another hair band

He can sing but not like Dio, and this song only fit Dio.

The beginning of Ray finding his voice. Very raw indeed. Certain missed things here and the drummers timing and overall knowledge of the song is not great. Sorry, I just had to say it. Anyways ive sucked worse. HAHAHA.

Was ray gay

OMG!! Ray is Sooo Badd Ass!! kinda sad musicians though. i don't know who's worse that sloppy off beat drummer, or that completely off key Bass Player. Ray was a million times more advanced a musician than these Jokers!! RIP Ray!! You Ruled!
