Underrated no.Undiscovered yes. Everybody says PRINCE was a underrated guitar player but yet everyone knew he was “a heck of a guitar player.”Now that don’t make no fuc*in’ sense when pple say that /:
@@azsman1977 Prince ???? Now that's what I call an OVER-rated guy. His guitar playing was not at all that breathtaking, I think he was 80 % marketing, 10 % political correctness (a new Hendrix) and 10 % talent. Sorry guys, there were literally hundreds of better guitar players in bands like Thin Lizzy, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Journey, Toto etc etc. Prince, come on, that's just perroting what many "experts" claim, and many of these experts just are paid to please record selling companies. That's all part of the game, you create a lot of buzz, claim that X is a super guitar player, repeat the same message over and over, and there always will be perrots joining the artificial admiration society, if Y said that guitar player is great, if Z says he was inspired by X, than it must be true. It is not true. It's just part of a clever sceme to make a lot of money. Trust your own ears, in stead of perroting "experts" points of view.
I remember staying up to watch WWF wrestling at midnight. I fell asleep before it ended and woke up to Night Ranger on TV. Didn't know who they were at the time, I was mainly a Van Halen fanboy. But I remember waking up another time to Night Ranger and thinking to myself "These guys again? Do they have their own TV show?" I was under the impression they were on this show every week. Anyway, I remember Jack saying "Brad and Jeff are gonna show you what they learned over the summer." The camera then cut to Brad and Jeff standing back to back and they began their guitar solo jam. I was then hooked on Night Ranger and knew that when I finally got my guitar, it was going to be red and have a tremolo bar. I ended up with a 1985 Ibanez Roadstar II (RS440) that was dark red and had a tremolo I beat the crap out of and it never went out of tune. I miss that guitar.
I love that call and response guitar solo style towards the end of the song when Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson trade guitar licks!!!! And then they both harmonize till they climax at the ending of the song!!!! They were a good lead guitar team!!!!!🙂😊🙂😊😀😃😀😋👍👍👍👍 Love Night Ranger!!!!
Absolutely talented band with original lyrics and the drummer that sings as well as drums. Not to mention the whole band just rocks!👃🍻I appreciate good guitar duos.
Was it Perkins? I missed that one! Idk how; PP was minutes from my house. I'm hoping they have footage from the Palladium in '84 or '85 when they played with Black N Blue.
Wireless had been around for several years by then. NADY systems were the top seller for wireless microphones for a long time. When instruments went wireless the technology exploded. These guys were fantastic on stage, still like to catch them on tour (been a couple of years now).
I watched this concert on MTV and didn't realize just what kind of a monster on Guitar Brad Gills was. Jeff Watson also had an awsome solo sometime during this concert.
Remember this like it was yesterday, NR was one of the first main stream dual leads. There was of course Iron Maiden and Judas P but these guys really brought it into the rock scene. They did things different, the drummer on the side of the stage. That is how you break the norm and bordom. Great Band!
Never even knew about this. Thanks for posting. NR had a unique niche between 80's metal and 80's melodic rock. Obviously leaning more to the melodic rock. But having Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson gave them guitar cred that would appeal to the metal heads but they had the hooks and harmonies and looks that appealed to the ladies and just fans of rock. They were big but not as huge as they deserved to be. Sister Christian has become iconic since it was featured in Boogie Nights but before that they were really just tossed on the dust heap after Grunge interrupted the rock and roll party train. What is really cool about them is that they have continued on to this day and are one of the few legacy bands still making new records that sound as good as their old stuff. Check out Somewhere in California(2011) or High Road (2014) and you will be surprised at how good they still are. I got to see them in an all acoustic set a couple of summers ago and I was amazed by them. Whether acoustic or amped up, these guys still get it done.
Sister Christy was iconic the minute it hit the airwaves, but you must not have been there. I was, and I think it killed this band's "metal cred" at the time. They had faded to "who?" way before grunge arrived. I think they need to get Alan back into the band. His intro here was beautiful. Why is no one talking about Jack's performance and energy?
unfortunately this song never got any air play, I used to call daily to my local AOR station who had a 'lunch request' hr, but nevertheless they never played this song as many times as I requested! Yet, youtube lives on forever...great song!!!
Hell yeah is right !! I remember when I first purchased this LP "Dawn Patrol" through Columbia House remember them ? Get 12 for a penny and buy 3 at their regular inflated price. Yes John Boy I would say this is my favorite Night Ranger song.
Bad Brad and Jeff jam! Midnight madness is a great album but play rough is also a good tune. Didn't really get into their stuff till about 88. I liked sister Christian too, it got alot of bad reviews cuz of the video. This live in Japan is just awesome if you like their work. I gravitate towards bands like this with actual talent as apposed to let's say friggin poison! Never understood that either, but what do I know.. I do know I saw Van Halen in78 before anyone on the east coast knew anything about them either. Pushing 60 and nothing these days compares to the bands of the 70s and 80s..
Alan "Fitz" Fitzgerald 3:44 🎹 ..bearded, in background..Played side-stage for Van Halen for a few years, also. . . Matt "Dr."Fink 😷 famously played in Prince's "NPG" band. 😏
The 1980s would have had a rather big hole and heavy metal hard rock without Night ranger and the fact is most people could care less what an underrated band. I just don't know how night ranger has been cold like puppy dog 1980s rock. What the hell is so puppy dog about them ?? I would have called poison puppy dog rock easily They've gotten for more respect then might ranger has ever received. Definitely good musicians without a doubt the music is good can't see no but it's not night ranger. I'd say night ranger was the band that that was just too good for itself
God bless the Night Ranger crew those still here and those that have passed best times of Our Lives
The whole band was underated! I have always loved them especially Jack!
Such an underrated band two of the best guitars players back in the 80's
Exactly!
Over in Asia these guys were MEGA stars. Just like Cheap Trick and Survivor.

One of my favorites, did this in a band with my friends in 1983, love it
Hell yeah!!! .....one of my many favorite Night Ranger songs........these guys still kick ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!
I met them a little over 2 years ago at the Ohio State Fair! I had a VIP pass! They were all very nice!!!
Absolutely talented band with original lyrics and the drummer that sings as well as drums. Not to mention the whole band just rocks!👃🍻I appreciate good guitar duos.
Those guitar harmonies absolutely slay!!!!
Don't Tell Me You Love Me and this song was the first two songs I ever heard with Night Ranger and I was hooked!!!!!!!!
What a hot group! Their music sizzles!
This was a party here! Night Ranger
rocks!
1:10 Will Ferrell's really getting into it.
Yeah, this was from Rock n Roll Tonight. Great TV series back in early 80's. I remember this episode vividly!
Perkins Palace, I believe...
Was it Perkins? I missed that one! Idk how; PP was minutes from my house.
I'm hoping they have footage from the Palladium in '84 or '85 when they played with Black N Blue.
Damn great Live band!!! Great Chemistry
Tampa Theater you guys blew the roof off that place. 5-14-1984. Thanks for a great show guys.
Wireless had been around for several years by then. NADY systems were the top seller for wireless microphones for a long time. When instruments went wireless the technology exploded. These guys were fantastic on stage, still like to catch them on tour (been a couple of years now).
No cell phones, just enjoy the experience and remember!
Love these guys!!!
I watched this concert on MTV and didn't realize just what kind of a monster on Guitar Brad Gills was. Jeff Watson also had an awsome solo sometime during this concert.
Brad and Jeff are like twins in a musical way,just like Dave and Adrian from Iron Maiden.
Great band amazing rola.

So true. Also April Wine and Molly Hatchet.
Thin Lizzy

NR were actually a good bit before "hair bands"... they played straight ahead killer rockin' roll
My favorite group growing up...got "Sing Me Away" on a 45 single! LOL
That is such a great band. I always wondered how long it took Brad and Jeff to work all that out and really have it down
Hell yeah is right !! I remember when I first purchased this LP "Dawn Patrol" through Columbia House remember them ? Get 12 for a penny and buy 3 at their regular inflated price. Yes John Boy I would say this is my favorite Night Ranger song.
Eddie is out there tearing up the roads!

Gillis OWNs that guitar…

They should’ve included this banger in Stranger Things.
このツインギターは最強です
Two hot fuckin guitar players, some of the best tandem leads in rock.Then they went pussy
Duel AXE ATTACK COMMENCE!!!!🎉
what a fucking guitar player god damn
EPIC!!!!
Sunshine Music Hall Denver CO
Is that where this was recorded, or is that where you saw them?
3:23 how did he do that ? ejecting that spark from the headstock that looks like a flare gun
Takes a lot of practice! Gotta get the guitar neck to cum fire from the hand heat.
@Frank Dahlquist man that's a great gimmick
Jeff and Brad did the best thing
I was there sitting right behind my man Kelly
Totally should have brought Eddie out from Iron Maiden..
Nice intro with Alan. Where (and when) was this recorded?
They were so young! We were so young!
It was nice of Jeff Watson to pass on his top to Dave Murray.
He messed up his hair for this video. Gotta respect that! Rock on hair bands!!!
Hey ! It's princes keyboard player ?
Alan "Fitz" Fitzgerald 3:44 🎹 ..bearded, in background..Played side-stage for Van Halen for a few years, also. . . Matt "Dr."Fink 😷 famously played in Prince's "NPG" band. 😏
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That fucklng dude Eddy, I like that guys shoes.
I know Eddie, but Rosie never lets his ass out of the house....
Brad Gillis is the man!
The 1980s would have had a rather big hole and heavy metal hard rock without Night ranger and the fact is most people could care less what an underrated band.
I just don't know how night ranger has been cold like puppy dog 1980s rock. What the hell is so puppy dog about them ?? I would have called poison puppy dog rock easily
They've gotten for more respect then might ranger has ever received.
Definitely good musicians without a doubt the music is good can't see no but it's not night ranger.
I'd say night ranger was the band that that was just too good for itself
wow, they wrote a song about the iron maiden mascot eddie? cool!
SAW THIS ON MTV WAYYYYYYY BACK . NIGHT RANGER GOT NO RESPECT AND WHAT BULSHIT THAT IS NOT ONE MEMBER WAS EVER NOT A REAL PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN .
the lead singer is fuckin hot!
Anyone else wondering how you play an electric guitar with out plugging it in lol,
Edward Noland Wireless systems. Plus Gillis had his built into his guitar.
My son builds guitars, yes wireless rocks!
Gills played with Ozzy for a while and ROCKED IT HARD!!!!!
Nady wireless. look it up.
Least he had the decency to get on his knees and know that it was wrong but you on the other hand
this is the onlyway to listen to the song, any live version brad does.
