Love it!! I got to see them in a bar a few years ago with Gayle and Jen. We were right up front and Brad Gillis was right at the edge of the stage, and he would play right into the audiences faces. And I mean two feet away. He's a mad man in concert. Looks like they have a new keyboardist since then though. They had a kid named Christian when we saw them that Gayle and Jen spoke to after the gig. But they put on a great show.

Very cool! I'm friends with the manager of a big music store here, and when they played here several years ago, they stopped through the store. Brad hung out with my buddy for most of the day, and a bunch of them went out for dinner before the show started. He said what a nice,down to Earth guy that he was. Brad also gave them tickets to the show, which is very cool! They played in a pretty small venue that only held about 1500 people. They only had about 250 people show up. :shock: The scary thing was that my old 80's band played the same venue a week or two later and had about 50 more people than they did! :lol: :lol: I actually have a DI box that belonged to Jack Blades from that night. He left it there, and I swapped it out with the guys there and gave them a brand new one. How cool is that??? :D It's sitting in the closet in my music room right now. :wink:

I liked the song but I think they missed the boat in the video. It should have shown all the hot babes that cali has to offer and just bits of the band playing in an open field,wtf? But, I always liked Night Ranger, looks like I will be checking this one out. Thanks Jim.

Night Ranger has always been a cool band. I got mistaken for Jack Blades once as a kid.
Hell yeah I signed an autograph!

One thing, What happened to Jeff Watson?

I'm having a hard time getting past the awful chorus. It sounds out of place and the vocal entry into it seems late, almost as if he missed his mark. Besides, the chorus itself is also terrible. Some definite good points, but Joel Hoekstra is no Jeff Watson and the Watson dynamic was sorely missed in that song. Just listened to it again. Ugh. Just not a very good song.

I'm pretty sure he was out, back in and is now out again. This time it seems permanent, though.

I guess Jeff found other, more interesting things to do.

From what I know about the Grammy Board of Governors there is a lot of charity activity going on all the time so the guy is probably really busy with that.

Hello Friends,

I hope 2010 was good for everyone.

Thank you all so much for all the kind letters... which would be impossible to answer individually, as I would have no time left to play guitar...

We’ve been very busy here, with the studio in full swing, playing on Douglas Docker’s new album in Italy, contributing a solo to Pegazus’ album in Australia, doing corporate, TV and film sessions, fulfilling my duties as a Governor on the Grammy Board, and putting together a new touring band. (more on that to follow..)

I expect 2011 to be a great year for all of us, and hope that we get to see you all when we come to play your town.

Back with more info very soon..

All the best,
Jeff Watson

His views of the world did not match the rest of the band and it got very ugly there for a bit. He won't ever return.

Jesus Christ. You people wonder why this board/genre is dying? You are talking about...Night Ranger? Fucking Night Ranger? What, was Wasp not in the studio putting out a new album? Krokus not touring this year? I'd rather hear news about Quiet Riots replacement "vocalist" than some of these diahrea bands you folks speak of. My God, Night Ranger? Yeah, that band is on the front of every rock fans mind! Um, a video on Night Ranger? That is even funnier to me than GI Jim saying his buddies' band outdrew those jackoffs in a movie theatre.

Say it with me, and try to keep a straight face- Night Ranger. You can't do it can you?

Sister fucking Christian? How embarrassing.

:lol: :lol: You forgot about Winger!!! :D Night Ranger has more songs I'm interested in than Bruce does flamer! 8) And to be fair to Night Ranger, there was pretty much NO promotion for their show. An old guitarist of mine hired the band to do the show, then did a piss poor job promoting it. I think they charged him $10,000 to $15,000 for the gig, and he thought he was going to make a bunch of money off of them at the venue. I think he ended up losing more than half of the money that night! Lol!! What a retard. :D

Just pounding Natty Ices...Just stopping over for the night, will be moving on in a few hours. RobbieG is already lighting up my PM box, so I guess I can't hang around.

Jim, Winger? I laugh at loud at those here that like that band. How about those blonde flaming bitches, Nelson? Good God. And lastly but not least, if I read one more fucking thread about Mr Big, I am going to throw my computer out the fucking window. All these bands are JV bands. They don't matter. When are the folks here going to talk about the bands that do matter? That carry the rock n roll banner? Meh, I just lost interest here for that reason. If I wanted to read up to the date news on Danger Danger, Kix, Crazy Lixx, Winger, Mr Big or Survivor, I will kill myself instead. Like I said, they aren't relevent for a reason. They simply do not matter.

Have to agree with you here. Not really diggin the song. NR seems to be pretty good at putting 1 or 2 clunkers on a cd. Still expecting the rest to be strong.
