yes he did him and Jeff Rocked i was fortunate to grow up in the bay area where they're from and got to see them when not out on tour I seen them open for Sammy Hagar in 79 and 83 in 79 they were just called Ranger they hadn't added "Night" yet I was 14 in 79 don't recall their set the 83 show I remember because I was familiar with their album then
@@rayfabris2512 Did they sound heavier in concert, if you can remember? With those two ace guitarists (people sleep on Jeff, but that dude could shred!) my main hope for Night Ranger going forward is that rock fans appreciate all the new music they've put out, and it's not just something fresh and current, their most current albums are excellent! Brad tearing it up with Ozzy after Randy Rhoads tragedy is one of my all time favorite rock music happenings.....I just thrive on that Speak Of The Devil album!🎸
@@treff9226 oh I remember it was bad ass the bands I got to see then like queensryche on their 1st tour opening for DIO on his Holly diver tour in 83 that was cool
I was lucky enough to have Brad as a client via Gibson Guitars; signed him to an acoustic guitar deal. I got to visit his house, where he had a studio, and in general, he was great to deal with. Also have interviewed him a few times for Reality Check TV. A class act and a great guitarist.
Great show. I was in South Lake Tahoe years ago at Sammy’s bar. Some band was playing covers then out of nowhere Brad gets on stage and rips the roof off the place for a few songs. Volume was through the roof. Totally awesome.
I gotta say I've really liked everything Kix have put out, their sound was packed with strong riffs, tightly constructed songs with hooks and great tones! I believe anyone who has heard them, takes an instant liking to their music. Kix was known for excellent live shows, great sense of humor, and band members were said to be great guys. Love the hell out of em'
Awesome show! Great to see and hear Northern Cali talent 🤘 My fave Night Ranger songs: 6) Rock in America 5) Growing up in California 4) Four in The Morning 3) Night Ranger 2) Sing me Away 1) Don't tell me you love me.
I felt lucky getting to see Night Ranger back in the day. Petaluma Fair.. Seven Wishes. One of THE best, true talent bands that still bring it. Thanks to the 3 stooges for another AWESOME show. You guys are the absolute besf!!!
@@misterreason486 Are you from or do you live in Petaluma? I saw Night Ranger at Great America, the amusement park turned into a venue for bands. However, the first time I saw them, they were called Ranger and opened for Sammy Hagar! 🤣
Brad!! One of my all-time favorite guitarists! So many great songs and solos. We all know the hit songs; My favorite solo is from "Here She comes again" on Man in Motion. Anyone who stopped listening to NR after Man in motion is missing some of NR best music, Neverland and Seven are 2 of my favorite albums!! Thanks for the great music Brad, Keep rockin!!
Brad is truly a great dude, I saw him at the NH show during the meet and greet. I've taken pics for him during the shows and he remembered me, which is tough because of all NR's touring. He sounded great during his show and keeps himself in great shape.
Brad Gillis is So Rock’n Amazing! I remember I had gone to see Ozzy in 1/82 and Randy Rhoads was Amazing Rudy and Tommy Aldridge who blew me away in Pat Travers by September of1982 I went to a Texxas Jam and Brad Gillis was Awesome I had Always been a Sammy Hagar Fan going to see every chance I could and Night Ranger opened and that was So Awesome I have been Big Fan every since I have seen Night Ranger 9 times and Love that Band! I Absolutely Love Brad Gillis playing on the Little Guitars Album tribute to Van Halen and Brad Kills it Atomic Punk Great Guy One of My Guitar Heroes
Top 6 Favorite Night Ranger Songs 6. Goodbye 5. Four In The Morning 4. Sister Christian 3. When You Close Your Eyes 2. You Can Still Rock In America 1. Dont’t Tell Me You Love Me
I came into Night Ranger only a couple of years ago. Only knew the name before. Great Band with awesome players. Anyway, coll show again. Cheers from Germany
There is a video on TH-cam where George Lynch joined Night Ranger on stage and jammed out. That was really interesting. Two guitar giants having a great time.
Brad is a phenomenal guitarist. Glad to see he's doing well and looking great for his age. Is it just me or does he look a lot like Richard Gere in this interview? Lol
I saw Night Ranger twice on the Seven Wishes tour. Jeff Watson had a Hamer V with led fret markers. I thought that was the coolest thing in the world at the time.
As a MASSIVE fan of Night Ranger, I have to say they made a song that is not only there best song but a rock classic that song is DON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE ❤
Brad was always a subtle influence of Mine ever since I SAW him play on Speak of the Devil on MTV in like 82 or early 83. Then Night Ranger came along. That red 64 strat was My fav strat of all time.
6. Sing me away 5. Seven Wishes 5. Four in the morning 4. Rumors in the air 3. You can still rock in America 2. Don't tell me you love me 1. When you close your eyes Also speaking of live shows Stryper in New Jersey this past weekend.... Phenomenal! Show!

Night Ranger was my first concert (1984?). It was at a local university in a gymnasium. Sister Christen was just starting to break on MTV. A band called Chameleon opened the show and Yanni was playing keyboards. 😅
@@blutomindpretzel1735 yeah. Back in the 80’s Yanni was a foreign exchange student at the university of Minnesota. The band Chameleon was from Minneapolis.
Kix - one of the best bands from the 80s Hard Rock scene. Hope they will keep their legacy intact and won't do any lame 'reunions' without Steve Whiteman
Totally loved their entire catalog - great riffs, guitars loud and out front, excellent rhythm section, Steve's killer vocals, tightly written songs, loaded with hooks and great choruses.....should have been a lot bigger than they were! Known for their sense of humor and also said to be great people! Dig em' and will blast their tuneage till I drop! Great post, cheers!
Seeing Brad and the boys at the end of the month at the Anaheim Grove… It is a rescheduled show from months ago…. Apparently Jack had a health scare a the day of the show and was checked out and was apparently nothing but the show had to be rescheduled…. Can’t wait, 2.5 weeks to go and i will be In Whammy Bar Heaven 🎸🎼🎸🎼!!
Oh Hell Yeah my That Metal Guys with Eddie Trunk I am a Really Big Brad Gills Wow! How he was able to step over to his Ozzy time and Really was Happy he went back to one of my Favorite Bands Night Ranger not included to Hair Metal they were before and the connections from Sammy Hagar which was my Rock Hero from Montrose but I just Really Loved His Live Album All Night Long and Seeing him now 28 times with all his side Bands so from the Standing Hampton tour and Night Ranger was Perfect fit then 3 Lock Box and what was another Geffen artist Quarter Flash and Night Ranger and Sammy Hagar but my introduction to Brad Gills at a Texxas Jam with some other Great Bands my summer vacation destination The Texxas Jams out of the 10 years I went to 9 Jams first 1979 I was 16 and had 3 Friends and 2nd car 2 brothers and friends Gas shortage days we were 2 hours from Dallas and TKO started at 11:30AM Sammy Hagar Street Machines tour Nazareth was next then Van Halen VH 2 tour Boston was So Good Heart were Great and we started to find the rest of our group at 2:50 AM next morning Blue Oyster Cult still playing we were on field 25 yard line and from there could not probably get back so that many hours and ticket prices $15.00 Wow but when Brad Gills talks about the Bands connection with Gary Phil from Sammy and keyboards AlannFitz. From Ronnie Montrose and Gama and how he hooks up with Jeff Watson was working at a really popular Guitars and keyboards and heard him in a interview talking about how he cold called Hagar telling him he would be a Better Guitar Player I forgot name of Hagar’s Guitar player not Gary but these were my Rock Heroes from 1977 to present I have gotten to go to well I am with in a couple of of concerts of having gone to 700 concerts and so many Bands multiple times Night Ranger I remember Eddie Trunk Loving the 2 Guitar Players just Amazing album Man in Motion Shows Guitars in sink! I could ramble about getting to grow up in The Greatest Rock Bands Musicians and Songs hearing Brad talking about The Stars ProjectI just watch that Documentary and how Vivian Campbell and Jimmy Bain they had to to keep pitching it to Ronnie who was separated from Wendy and I am So Blown Away with Vivian Campbell who trough a Amazing Guitar Builder and has my Great Friend and his friendship with Vivian I got to know and spend time with him and what is funny I always thought of my Rock Guitar Hero’s were older but I am 2 weeks older than Vivian hey I just have to say this about all 3 of Y’all were Awesome on Metal show and I am always watching for Eddie and when the 3 of You are doing videos like these are Great I did want to see Brad Gillis talk about the Cd Little Guitars and his Unbelievable Guitar playing on Atomic Punk Wow but all You Guy’s are Great! Thank you!
Saw him Diary tour at 10 yro. Saw Jake e lee twice, Zakk, & think gus last time saw ozzy. Jake was always my fave. But then got on TH-cam & revisited & have to say brad smoked them all! I didn't know who id seen. Then felt so stupid because i saw he went on to form night ranger, i was like, gd, he & his blonde hair & red strat just as much a face of that band as the singer & Sister Christian was! I actually caught them open for, i think, kiss??? about 6 months after Diary, though admittedly their music wasn't hard enough for me & my friends. I did see a vid of them playing a fair couple yrs ago tho to see how they were doing these days, & they rocked the fuk outta that place! It was impressive! Fuk a Motley Crue or a "Kiss" these days, night ranger be fukn bringing it! All real deal mofos like Brad! Catch em if you get the chance. Brad you are the fukn man!!! Thanks for rokn my 10 yro ass' intro to Ozzy!!! Rock On, mofos!!! 🤘🌎❤
Yeah, he needs a more professional setup. He sounds like a chipmunk, and needs a different camera angle than a grandpa who is still figuring out how to use a computer.
THE reason is Kelly takes the power for the song. Brad Killed it!! **-** Please bet Kelly on the show. I Love his solo stuff. Time passes is a go to for me. TY
I was never really a Night Ranger fan. They (and other like Lion) came across as shmaltzy pop rock that was also largely disjointed with rather forgettable songs. The keyboards seemed to try to fit in with the 80's pop new wave thing at the time. In essence they were B movie stars in rock terms. Having said that, they may simply have appealed more to a strictly American culture. I listened to all of the picks and only Night Ranger and Touch Of Madness had any real resonance. Sister Christian, Sing Me Away and Don't Tell Me You Love Me had their moments but ultimately didn't stand out. However, Eddies mention of Tell your vision was a different story altogether. Now that really does rock and it will inspire me to look at more releases in recent times because if that is the standard then that gets my ears listening and foot tapping. Brad Gillis does come to the fore of my mind though when I think of the day that I purchased the newly released Ozzy Osbourne's first live album, Talk of the Devil (Speak of the Devil in the US), a collection of Sabbath tunes recorded at the Ritz in New York. I was blown away by the whole performance. Brad was that good that it wasn't until I read the sleeve notes that I realised that I was not listening to Iommi. He certainly got my attention that day way back when. Having watched Brad play live on many YT clips I would say that he is a consummate guitar player and never seems to put a foot wrong, which is a big thing in my music world. So hats off to him in one form or another and had he been in a bigger band, worldwide speaking, I fee sure that his name would come up more often when talking about great guitarists.
Rickey Medlocke was Lynyrd Skynyrd's original drummer. That's a musical fact. So although he's on guitar it can be argued that Skynyrd has one original member. Molly Hatchet has zero since Dave Hulbek died. We're all getting older...lol An excellent old school sounding Canadian band you should talk about is Monster Truck. They flat out Rock n Roll!
I wouldn't expect too much from them, New Jersey's own Monster Magnet can't get a single mention in their world, for some reason. There must clearly be some sort of bad blood or something
6) Sentimental Street 5) Sister Christian 4) Rumors In The Air 3) Don't Tell Me You Love Me 2) You Can Still Rock in America 1) When You Close Your Eyes Ed is correct about When You Close Your Eyes. If anybody can listen to that and not feel great afterward, there's something wrong with you.
Zack did a lot of records, but I couldn't name as many songs as I can with Jake. The later Ozzy albums just aren't good. Jake is the man. Also the heavy chorus on the Zack's tone, while it differentiated him from the Randy tone, it gets old for me.
Comparing those two isn't fair. Jake is one of the most important foundational 80s shredders; I'd consider him, DeMartini and Lynch a sort of holy trinity in the early wake of EVH. Zakk is from the next generation, along with Nuno, Reb Beach and Vito Bratta, et alia. Both guitarists have two good Ozzy records to my ear (Zakk's being his first two), and the first Red Dragon Cartel record sounds like it could've been the coolest Ozzy record since No More Tears to me. Jake is wildly creative, just a super unique and radical player. Zakk on the No Rest for the Wicked tour was my first rock concert. Love them both, but Jake is more mindblowing, and ground zero for the form.
@@g-pa-Rok-n-Tok Sorry to bother you brother I just looked up the 78 CalJam lineup and you got to see f$%king Rush on the Hemispheres tour....that must have been incredible. A.ex Lifeson is in my top 10 greatest guitar players ever (Michael Schenker, Iommi, John Sykes, Randy, Page, etc). I took my wife to see Rush years ago and The Professor behind the kit was worth the price of admission. I took my son to see the final Sabbath tour (for me, the sun rises and sets to Ozzy fronted Sabbath and The Doors....Jim Morrison, to me, the greatest, most dangerous frontman in music history! I could kick myself in the ass for never seeing Filthy Phil, Fast Eddie, and Lemmy live.....Sorry for rambling brother....as I get older, I long for the days of old..I despise this new world I the rock is dead era.
Gee, Don throwing shade. I believe that Kix is sincere. If Steve wants to end it, then it should end. I don't think that they want to be a joke. Also, Eddie was incorrect. Both Styx and Tommy solo did records with orchestras. Styx's album even has a new song on their album called Just Be. I pick Zak. Mr. Tindertrain on No More Tears is creepy. I also dig Road To Nowhere.
Little correction, Tommy shaw did with styx first, and a few years later, whent on his own and played with the kids Orchestra, the styx one was fantastic,
I keep thinking that Eddie will see enough of these comments about his ego and take a moral inventory of himself, maybe show a little more confidence in his work! It's a fact that people who self inflate their own worth are actually quite insecure about themselves and their standing in society. It's amazing to me that Eddie can't just let all his success speak for itself, the man is one of the most prominent spokesmen for hard rock and heavy metal on the friggin' planet. He rubs elbows with legends, constantly, so he should just relax and let his career speak for itself! People are strange, man!
I saw Steven Whitman at a dump bar in Crofton MD in 1999 as “singer from Kix”..why not let Kix go on if they want to…myself, i wouldnt see em anymore anyway

Brad Gillis is one of the best guitarists. He is so underrated. His work with the ozzy Speak of Devil is amazing.
Brad killed it on Speak of the Devil.
And on Sister Christian too!
yes he did him and Jeff Rocked i was fortunate to grow up in the bay area where they're from and got to see them when not out on tour I seen them open for Sammy Hagar in 79 and 83 in 79 they were just called Ranger they hadn't added "Night" yet I was 14 in 79 don't recall their set the 83 show I remember because I was familiar with their album then

YES, to Brad's solo on We're Stars! Totally recognizable as him!
Kix farewell was class act. Take note EVERY band.
Especially Vince Neil
I gotta say I've really liked everything Kix have put out, their sound was packed with strong riffs, tightly constructed songs with hooks and great tones!

And decent Internet so he’s not always on a delay. It’s kind of annoying.
Yes and we can take Eddie trunks away while were at it.

Too many keys on Ultimate Sin? Got it backwards. The keyboards are on Bark At The Moon. Ultimate Sin is all heavy guitar.
Gotta feel for the bands who made it right at the tail end of the 80s, not realising the impending tsunami that was headed their way come '91

It took him forever to get a mic but he still needs to update his equipment. lol

Sister Christian is a classic rock ballad after Home Sweet Home & Dream On in my opinion
I was never really a Night Ranger fan. They (and other like Lion) came across as shmaltzy pop rock that was also largely disjointed with rather forgettable songs. The keyboards seemed to try to fit in with the 80's pop new wave thing at the time. In essence they were B movie stars in rock terms. Having said that, they may simply have appealed more to a strictly American culture.
I listened to all of the picks and only Night Ranger and Touch Of Madness had any real resonance. Sister Christian,
Sing Me Away and Don't Tell Me You Love Me had their moments but ultimately didn't stand out.
However, Eddies mention of Tell your vision was a different story altogether. Now that really does rock and it will inspire me to look at more releases in recent times because if that is the standard then that gets my ears listening and foot tapping.
Brad Gillis does come to the fore of my mind though when I think of the day that I purchased the newly released Ozzy Osbourne's first live album, Talk of the Devil (Speak of the Devil in the US), a collection of Sabbath tunes recorded at the Ritz in New York. I was blown away by the whole performance. Brad was that good that it wasn't until I read the sleeve notes that I realised that I was not listening to Iommi. He certainly got my attention that day way back when.
Having watched Brad play live on many YT clips I would say that he is a consummate guitar player and never seems to put a foot wrong, which is a big thing in my music world. So hats off to him in one form or another and had he been in a bigger band, worldwide speaking, I fee sure that his name would come up more often when talking about great guitarists.
More tech problems: Jamieson's audio is iffy once again...
Missed opportunity: Where's Jeff Watson? Any chance of him playing with Night Ranger again?!
Jeff had brain surgery a couple of years ago. I'm not sure how his health is these days, but yes I would have liked them to ask Brad about him.
@LinkRocks Wow that's a shame. Hope he's well.
Jeff left because the band signed a new management/publishing deal and he wasn't included because he wasn't a founding member
Is the demon behind Ed the same one from Uriah Heep’s “Abominog”?
Rickey Medlocke was Lynyrd Skynyrd's original drummer. That's a musical fact. So although he's on guitar it can be argued that Skynyrd has one original member. Molly Hatchet has zero since Dave Hulbek died. We're all getting older...lol An excellent old school sounding Canadian band you should talk about is Monster Truck. They flat out Rock n Roll!
I wouldn't expect too much from them, New Jersey's own Monster Magnet can't get a single mention in their world, for some reason. There must clearly be some sort of bad blood or something
Goodbye

Why Does Love Have To Change
I saw Night Ranger open for Foreigner and Journey (i guess 15 yrs ago now) and Night Ranger was the opening act that stole the show.
6) Sentimental Street 5) Sister Christian 4) Rumors In The Air 3) Don't Tell Me You Love Me 2) You Can Still Rock in America 1) When You Close Your Eyes
Ed is correct about When You Close Your Eyes. If anybody can listen to that and not feel great afterward, there's something wrong with you.
Under Pressure is the last song on Hot Space
I like Zakk but In the eighties he couldn't touch Jake.
Killer of Giants
My thoughts exactly
Zack did a lot of records, but I couldn't name as many songs as I can with Jake. The later Ozzy albums just aren't good. Jake is the man.
Also the heavy chorus on the Zack's tone, while it differentiated him from the Randy tone, it gets old for me.
JAKE!!!!!!!
Comparing those two isn't fair. Jake is one of the most important foundational 80s shredders; I'd consider him, DeMartini and Lynch a sort of holy trinity in the early wake of EVH. Zakk is from the next generation, along with Nuno, Reb Beach and Vito Bratta, et alia. Both guitarists have two good Ozzy records to my ear (Zakk's being his first two), and the first Red Dragon Cartel record sounds like it could've been the coolest Ozzy record since No More Tears to me. Jake is wildly creative, just a super unique and radical player. Zakk on the No Rest for the Wicked tour was my first rock concert. Love them both, but Jake is more mindblowing, and ground zero for the form.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Lol… Brad’s energy reminds me of Jeff Goldbloom. Sadly, Brad made no mention of his temporary tenure in Vicious Rumors.
Saw Brad and Jack in the band Rubicon back in 78 at Cal Jam 2
With ACDC right?
@@scottlosey4978 negative brother. AC⚡️DC
wasn't at that gig
@@g-pa-Rok-n-Tok I appreciate the response.....
@scottlosey4978 no problem, have a great day 🤘
@@g-pa-Rok-n-Tok Sorry to bother you brother I just looked up the 78 CalJam lineup and you got to see f$%king Rush on the Hemispheres tour....that must have been incredible. A.ex Lifeson is in my top 10 greatest guitar players ever (Michael Schenker, Iommi, John Sykes, Randy, Page, etc). I took my wife to see Rush years ago and The Professor behind the kit was worth the price of admission. I took my son to see the final Sabbath tour (for me, the sun rises and sets to Ozzy fronted Sabbath and The Doors....Jim Morrison, to me, the greatest, most dangerous frontman in music history! I could kick myself in the ass for never seeing Filthy Phil, Fast Eddie, and Lemmy live.....Sorry for rambling brother....as I get older, I long for the days of old..I despise this new world I the rock is dead era.
Eddie 'name-drop' Trunk...me me me me me me me me...pfft
Gee, Don throwing shade. I believe that Kix is sincere. If Steve wants to end it, then it should end. I don't think that they want to be a joke. Also, Eddie was incorrect. Both Styx and Tommy solo did records with orchestras. Styx's album even has a new song on their album called Just Be. I pick Zak. Mr. Tindertrain on No More Tears is creepy. I also dig Road To Nowhere.
I don’t understand what “Kix” is? Does it have anything to do with “don’t close your eyes?”
The metal band, Kix, and Don't Close Your Eyes was their big ballad hit.
NightRanger....................................... Rules
Lol....I'm in the XL category 😅
You never asked Brad about Fitz's surgical scrubs 😮
Personally I find the keyboards on the early Ozzy shows more distracting and disturbing than the decent keys on the Ultimate Sin album.
I see Don finally broke down and got a Mic 🤔 Still a mess 😂
Jake E. Lee, all the time.
Little correction, Tommy shaw did with styx first, and a few years later, whent on his own and played with the kids Orchestra, the styx one was fantastic,
Yes, it was! Surprised Eddie didn't know Styx did that as a band.
@briank6789 did you watch it,??
@@user-bl6ne3hc6n Yes, a couple times. It's great!
Ed Trunk... "I ,me,my" holy crap what a huge narcissist
I keep thinking that Eddie will see enough of these comments about his ego and take a moral inventory of himself, maybe show a little more confidence in his work! It's a fact that people who self inflate their own worth are actually quite insecure about themselves and their standing in society. It's amazing to me that Eddie can't just let all his success speak for itself, the man is one of the most prominent spokesmen for hard rock and heavy metal on the friggin' planet. He rubs elbows with legends, constantly, so he should just relax and let his career speak for itself! People are strange, man!
I see you're a fan of That Classic Metal Show. Did they send you hear to bash Eddie?
@@Danimal77 Who is this question directed at? Don't understand your question about That Metal Show sending someone to bash Eddie. Thanks.
Kix Fans missed Donnie on their farewell gig!
I saw Steven Whitman at a dump bar in Crofton MD in 1999 as “singer from Kix”..why not let Kix go on if they want to…myself, i wouldnt see em anymore anyway
Lita still has the blondeness & the nice Hooters 👀
