Brad Gillis - Guitar Genius, Douche, or Both?

[Aaron]

So we watched Night Ranger in our backyard in Nashville Indiana at the Brown County Music Center. It's a great music venue, one of the best ever, IMO.

Night Ranger was on point, Blades was covering Tommy Shaw's parts on the Damn Yankee covers (yawn), the band was on fire! We've seen them 7 times in the last 10 years and they are the best we've seen them. They were awesome!

We were up front paying good money to set in the front row. It was super cool and we enjoyed the show, it was awesome.

Gillis came over and gave the wife some attention and then rolled out. No issue.

Gillis came over to our side of the stage a second time and paid the wife some attention. To be honest, I don't blame him, she's a hottie.

He came over a third time giving her good attention, then looked at me, flipped is guitar around showing me the back with a sticker on it that said "your girl fried = my girl friend" while looking at me eye to eye.

I took offence to this. You guys tell me whether I'm right or wrong.

I paced him from the front row the rest of the show. He avoided eye contact, looked past it, with arrogance. Just like a little pussy from SF would do.

Yep I know, I should be proud a douche thought the wife was hot, I do too. But would you put up with it?

FYI, if you go to a Night Ranger show and a hot wife watch your shite, the dude you paided big money to set up front just might be hitting on her and disrespecting you at the as same time.

Fuck off Brad Gillis, you spineless weasel. What is embarassing, I was working to play his shite.

And given the opportunity, just like a fake ass fuck, avoided the whole deal and claimed he was a victim. Dude is as FAKE as it comes.

Yep, sounds like a total douche to me.

Same here brother, if they come back I might take a side job as security at the facility. I'm still pissed.

Yep, sounds like a total douche to me.

It is a schtick. He does it all the time, in jest and it is not just hot women. It is women in the front row. It is why he has the sticker on his guitar. He probably avoided eye contact after you got upset.

I've had great interactions with Brad for a long time. He used to sneak me into shows because I wasn't old enough for the venues. All venues in Vegas used to be 21+. He did it one time with me and my girlfriend, later my wife. He came out and chatted us up and then he said, let's go in and put his arms around my GF and when we were inside he said "since I got you in you should be my girlfriend now". They both laughed and he took off further backstage. He invited us backstage after the show and just talked with us for an hour or so and was never inappropriate or anything. He still remember us to this day and it was over 30 years ago.
