Best Night Ranger song ?
So many good ones but I think this is the best. The mega hits they had were so overplayed, I got tired of them. For some reason, I could listen to 4 in the morning all day https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XVKZCYFuA ... l2ZQ%3D%3D
Just a regular guy who likes Metal

First song from them I've heard, Don't Tell Me You Love Me. Love the dual guitar solos.

Re: Best Night Ranger song ?
Yeah, that's my favorite Night Ranger song, too, though "Sister Christian" is a classic as well.TooOldToCare wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2024 2:23 pm First song from them I've heard, Don't Tell Me You Love Me. Love the dual guitar solos.

I'm also partial to the proto-"Sister Christian" song from Dawn Patrol, "Call My Name".

This and the timing of the video when MTV was just getting going makes it real memorable for me.TooOldToCare wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2024 2:23 pm First song from them I've heard, Don't Tell Me You Love Me. Love the dual guitar solos.

Anything that isn't the Motorin' song. What's their most rockin' tune? Did they release one as a single? They're a little before my time.

I was 12 when this came out on MTV and hadn't starting playing guitar yet.TooOldToCare wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2024 2:23 pm First song from them I've heard, Don't Tell Me You Love Me. Love the dual guitar solos.
The Brad Gillis solo blew me the fuck away...I was in awe..
As i started getting into guitar and progressed over the years, of course I learned that Brad's solo is more 'flash' and Jeff's solo was more technical...
But to this day, when DTMYLM comes on, I always have to crank Brad's solo and it takes me back to that time..

Re: Best Night Ranger song ?
There are very few tunes from that era that I still crank, and this is one. Used to play it acoustically when I was doing solo patio cover gigs, minus the solos of course.the_man_incognito wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2024 3:15 pmI was 12 when this came out on MTV and hadn't starting playing guitar yet.TooOldToCare wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2024 2:23 pm First song from them I've heard, Don't Tell Me You Love Me.

Aren't those Tesla songs?
Re: Best Night Ranger song ?
Don't Tell Me You Love Me would be almost any bands best song, and if you wanna pick from one of the many schmaltzie tracks (is this a word, schmaltzie?) I'd go w/ When You Close Your Eyes.

For deep cuts, how about "Wild and Innocent Youth" from the Out of Bounds soundtrack?
