August 4, 200818 yr I saw Night Ranger open up for KISS in the 1980's. They were excellent live. Very underrated band who hit first with 'Don't tell me you love me'. Sister Christian, while a great song, was not my favorite song of theirs. Sing Me Away, Don't Tell Me You Love Me, 7 Wishes, I Need A Woman, among others I really liked from this band. Brad Gillis (gtr) played for Ozzie right after Randy Rhodes was killed, Jack Blades (bass/vocals) was in Darned Yankees and now plays with Tommy Shaw from Styx in Shaw/Blades. Saw Darned Yankees as opener for Bad Company in '91 at Rupp. They were a fun band live. Did their songs and then each had a solo moment: Blades did a Night Ranger song, Nugent did "Piledriver" (or something like that) and Shaw did "Renegade" from Styx days. I was told later in the tour that Shaw's schtick was to start playing the opening notes of "Babe" and have Nugent come over and say, "Somethings wrong with your guitar man, let me fix it." Then he would smash the guitar on the stage. Wow, this brought back some interesting memories. :thumb:
August 5, 200818 yr I dislike the song and the video...The only Night Ranger song I like is Don't tell me you love me...One of night rangers guitar players Brad Gillis played with Ozzy after Randy Rhodes died...He is on the live Ozzy album speak of the devil...

I actually met Brad after they opened up for KISS years ago, just after he had done the tour with Ozzy. Nice guy, solid guitar player. NR actually had several great songs, but most of the better ones weren't deemed worthy of radio play. The first 3 albums were pretty good. After than, too much keyboard for my taste.
