Bane Jelić (Serbian Cyrillic: Бане Јелић; Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [ˈbane ˈjeːlit͡ɕ]), born June 11, 1967, is a Serbian rock and metal guitarist.
Bane Jelic was born in Belgrade, Serbia. From early age he was attracted to musical instruments and music. At the age of ten he started to play the acoustic guitar and for his twelfth birthday he received an electrical guitar and an amplifier. According to his own words, he spent many hours practicing his guitar skills. Most of the time he practiced on average ten hours every day.
When Bane was only 12 years old, he created his first musical band, The Flying Cans, with his friends. The band played both Yugoslav and foreign songs. Next year, in 1980, he joined a heavy metal band Apocalypse, and performed in 1981 alongside much older musicians at a large venue in Belgrade's Tašmajdan pool. The master of ceremonies was the famous Vladimir Janković Džet. The concert was broadcast live by the radio station “Beograd 202”. During this event the fourteen years old Bane gave his first interview from the stage.
Bane started his professional career with Magično oko band in 1984. The band had several tours across Yugoslavia, made a number of concerts and appearances on radio and TV, and was featured in many magazine articles and commercials. When Yugoslavia took part in Live Aid in 1985, organizing a venue on Belgrade's Red Star soccer club stadium, Magično oko opened the concert.
In 1986 Bane went to serve the mandatory military service. He soon becomes the leader of a military band and in this capacity spends the entire service time playing with the band in a military centre (Dom JNA).
Later Bane joined Peđa The Boys Band, and composed most of the music, and wrote most of the lyrics for their third album in 1987.
In 1989, Bane joined Viktorija band, and spent the next three and a half years playing with them, composing the music and the lyrics for some of their most successful hits - "Rat i mir" and "Od Splita do Beograda". At that time, Viktorija was one of the most famous and most popular bands in Yugoslavia.
