Christy Canyon, Ginger Lynn, Traci Lords... they were all great. But I bet they don't practice their craft anywhere near as well as these guys do 27 years later. Damn good job. Brad is a guitar God!!!
We saw them live in The Woodlands TX (Houston - sorta) last night. They were such a blast and you could tell they really really enjoy performing and that in itself was such a pleasure to watch!!!! They opened for Foreigner and Journey. Like Like Like alot!
Night ranger = pure talent, plugged or unplugged, sounds as great today as they did back in the day. Saw them last night, could listen all night--- too bad they only had 30 mins!! Sang along at the top of my lungs, worth every bit of the laryngitis today!!
If you gave this a thumbs down, you can't see the obvious fact that these guys have their shit together...Brad can't have a thumbs down at all in any case!!
i saw them at NAMM and ended up hanging out with em after the show but goddamn watching them was the most inspirational thing i think any young musician could ever do!
Sounded great...I've seen them throw Highway Star in the middle of "This Boy Needs to Rock"...THAT is AWESOME live. I do wish I could have seen what Jeff was doing during his solo (instead of a closeup on Jack), but I'll take it....
@jog11892 - Wow, small world! Did you ever get to hear the show? XM has something they call a podcast, which is a snippet of less than 5 mins. of mostly George Taylor Morris (the moderator) telling about the episode. I can't find the entire 1 hour show anywhere, and of all times, my XM receiver was broke during the 3 weeks they aired it. By the time I replaced it, they stopped airing the Night Ranger show.
The are genuinely GREAT guys. Met them at the XM studios a couple years ago in DC. They were recording a show called Artist Confidential. There was maybe 30 of his there., we were in a holding area until they were setup for recording. After about 45 mins. over the start time, and a couple producers coming and saying "soon", Jack Blades comes down the hall. He says "Hi everybody, I'm Jack Blades singer for Night Ranger... we're having some problems, thanks for coming!" LOL
Where is Jeff Watson...cause thats not him!! Geat player but I wonder what happened to Jeff .... I would have loved to watch Jeff play that solo on an acoustic instead of a studio musician. Great job anyway!
The way you can tell GOOD quality MUSIC... is, when you pull the amps, kill the effects and distortion and pedals.... and strip it down to the old fashioned MANUAL MODE Acoustics.... and it STILL WORKS.. THAT is the real deal!!! Seen Bill Idol, and a ton of REAL artists do this..... take these "new" artists, pull the electronics, and you've pulled thier teeth!!! Rap and Hip hop??? TRASH! LOL!!!
These guys are showing you what TALENT is! Talent is eternal! Trash fades away like a cheap Xmas toy!
@Hankster58 That's because that's how real music was originally made. Nothing about electronics, amps, and effects should make you suppose that the music is good. In fact, more often than not, I like acoustic music better.
@Hankster58 They're definitely bad ass. But the Taylor T5 thinline acoustic is HARDLY "old fashioned manual mode" lol. Those guitars are electric guitars that WANT to be acoustic lol. But Night Ranger is definitely awesome to watch. Super talented.
These guys are aging nicely. They're maturing as musicians and as a band. Too bad they've been reduced to state fairs, local festivals and tiny venues. I was 16 in 1985 when they were at thier peak. Lotsa good memories. Peace!
I remember going to Night Ranger, Saxon and Fastway in Seattle in the early eighties..they were and are still great.. thanks guys! ( Fastway was booed though.. LOL)
This is great! Who is the other lead guitarist? That can't be Jeff Watson? He's got some chops for sure.
