Lita Ford's old man (Jim Gillette)

I was poking around on Michael Angelo Batio's forum and found out Jim posts there as username "260." I was reading through some of his posts and read that he's into UFC fighting these days and trains with the Gracies.
So I was curious and googled some pics. Haha I could not believe how different he looks now. It's like he's not even the same person.

Here's an earlier pic of him and Lita.



This is how he looks now.




It's just so odd looking at his latter pictures and thinking of his voice, it just doesn't fit. He has an insane vocal range.

Back in the 80's Jim and Michael (referred to by the Japanese as: Hands without shadows) threw together a band called, Nitro.
They just took a look around at all the big hair, guitars and everything else going on at that time and decided to take that and just go completely over the top with it. If you're not familiar with Michael's playing, he's probably the fastest player walking the planet, and can play it over/under the fretboard and with his left and right hand.

Here's how Jim looked back then for the album.


Here's a couple of their Nitro tunes showcasing both Jim's and Michael's freak of musical nature abilities. It's probably some of the strangest rock you'll ever hear.

Nitro - Machine Gunn Eddie
Nitro - Freight Train

Here's an interview with Jim discussing his vocal abilities. He's around 6+ octaves and has done some vocal training videos. Says alot of popular singers have used them to improve their ranges.

He said Lita and himself live in the Carribean now and when asked if Lita was gonna ever do another album he said, "Probably not." She's happy being a mother with their two boys and said he and Lita have done some soundtrack work now and then, but as far as her doing another full-on album and some large tour, nah.
