  • This is great! Who is the other lead guitarist? That can't be Jeff Watson? He's got some chops for sure.

  • ジョエルさんが誰かに似てる・・・と思ったら

    ジョシュ・バーネットか・・・

  • NOOOO!!! MY COMPUTER WON"T GO ANY LOUDER!!! This song needs to be BLASTED LOUD! Absolutely LOVE it!

  • ブラッドかっけぇー!

  • I enjoyed seeing these back together kicking ass in an acoustic arrangment setting...these are songs that take me back to high school...

  • I <3 NIGHTRANGER

  • @shkonnicholas Shhh....they don't plug him in

  • 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!!!

  • おっさん達カッコ良すぎだ!!

  • 4:48

    I bet whoever was singing the harmony felt like such a beast after that!

  • OUTSTANDING!!!!!

    I've been in a real "Night Ranger mood" this evening and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this!

  • Man....Brad....you are the shit!!!

  • Love ya Carlson~thanks for all the good picks....:)

  • 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!

  • @settojet I was there too! They were pretty awesome live

  • anyone notice that jack is playing a guitar?

  • Wow... That sounds better than I ever thought those solos would sound.....These guys are pretty good!

  • it was nice to include the drummer lol

    great version!!

  • anyone else think kelly kinda looks like will ferrel?

  • 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!!

  • This is how you play this at the beach with the boys. Pretty cool.

  • I love Brad, but that blonde guy nailed that solo.....

  • Brad's playing is orgasmic...damnnn...Joel's a goood addition to the band, but i still miss Jeff Watson jammin' the flyin' V...

  • 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!!

  • That was EXCELLENT!!!! Thanks for posting that!! Brad Fucking Gillis can play that guitar!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome !!!

  • Dont want to seem ignorant, but I genuinely think the ones who disliked this have no taste at all. This is a marvelous performance.

  • This is ACOUSTIC EXCELLENCE!! ~ I LOVE NIGHT RANGER!!

  • Seriously the most underated band of all time. They should still be playing arenas!

  • @chabadoogi Ah, they are with Journey, and Foreigner at The Ty-D-bowl in Chicago this spring

  • Who filmed this? During the solo we get a shot of Blades going 'WOOOO!" Frustrating!

  • NR has been my All-time Fave band since 1983! Thay ae Amazing and just keep getting better with time!! LOVE the unplugged version of DTMYLM.

  • 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!

  • TIGHT !

  • @supertrippfan Yeah... I was wishing they'd show him, too.  He was sure wearing it out on that solo.

  • 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....

  • Did they just throw a little Deep Purple "Highway Star" in there in the middle? lol Way cool!!

  • love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I`ve listened to this song so much over the years, i know every note, so i know this is a PERFECT version. Guys this is truly aaaaaaawesome

  • @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.

  • 4 people told Night Ranger they loved them.

  • amazing- brad's solo you can't hear... jeff's solo (play by Joel Hoekstra) you can't see. oh well . sounded good though.

  • 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

  • @loraljohnson haha i was there!!!! thats so funny out only like 30 people and both of us were there

  • GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!!!!

  • A favorite song of mine, and I can get used to this rendition. 99% of the top acts today would absolutely NOT know how to pull this off.

  • surprised Jack Blades never plays an acoustic bass in these unplugged gigs, the way Gene Simmons does. Something seems to be missing-bass!

  • surprised Jack Blades never plays an acoustic bass in these unplugged gigs, the way Gene Simmons does. Something seems to be missing....bass!

  • This blows the eagles hotel california unplugged right out of the fucking water.

  • frakin' commericals... boycott all adds places before the vids on YouTube.

  • Holy Shit!!! Fukken awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Nice unplugged version on this...NR was the bomb back in the day!!

  • NR rocks

  • That made my day!

  • oh yeah the drummer !

  • i dont recognize them at all

  • 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.

  • @Hankster58 So True - If you can't get it across with just an acoustic and your voice, it probably wasn't much of a song to begin with.

  • @Hankster58 Very well said my friend!

  • the singer should have sang the song just like the original version. those "yeah yeahs" und "uh uhs" are so gay. but anyway, very good song

  • forget all the other bands and stick to NIGHTRANGER

  • Greeeeeeeeeeeat!

  • you guys are insane holy crap! nice job!

  • Can't ever get tired of these guys!

  • love the band, the song.

    Shoot the producer in the head!!!!!

    What was the point of not showing the second guitar solo? it sounded scorching... Man other than that I love it d@mn it! what a let down.

  • I love it...better unplugged version then studio... :))

  • this is awesome

  • 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!

  • This Video Make Me Wanna Buy A Taylor T5 :P

  • @GiANLU1414--lemme give ya a little hint---it aint the guitar....

  • awesome

  • Those guys rock!!!

  • Another "soundtrack of my youth" songs. They still sound great and the Taylors are awesome.

  • That was awesome!

  • Awesome works guys!! hats off!

  • Great Job!  Amazing to see everyone still together...

  • These guys rock..They sound the same as when I saw them in 08

  • ways to tell you're under the influence of marijuana:

    1: you're hungry

    2: everything seems pretty good

    3: you genuinely like night ranger

    just kidding, night ranger fucking rocks

  • @chrismonzel And Stealing a line from John Steward of the Movie Half-Baked ""Have You ever heard Night Ranger "" ON WEEEEEED "" ???
