Mad respect for Brad Gillis. His imagination, creativity, and heart are what drives this unique badass. Thanks.

Great and highly underrated guitarist. His use of controlled feedback on Sister Christian is insane.

Saw him w/Ozzy in '84. I was blown away by Brad. Made me pay more attention to Night Ranger, which was lighter than the music I listened to at the time e.g. Sabbath, Maiden, Preist...And then his parts in "We're Stars," are stellar!! ✌❤🤘

Was he with Ozzy in ‘84?

[@gitfiddlrx5312]

@@greatguitaristoftherockera2833 Yes, I remember the date because it was 2 days after my 18th birthday. The show was in Minneapolis on March 9th, 1984 and Motley Crue opened. Long story, but we met Ozzy later that night after our car died in the parking lot. lol

Brad Gillis' work with Night Ranger was my introduction to him. Liked his work on their first 2 albums.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Yeah those first two albums are the best. Thanks for watching and the comment.

This is pretty vanilla. It's like a cursory biography with plenty of Night Ranger stuff. It doesn't cover what made Brad famous--his whammy bar use and what motivated him to focus on it. I'm disappointed.

[@greatguitaristoftherockera2833]

Sorry to disappoint. The channel is geared more towards bio’s right now. As I get more time I’ll do more in depth analysis on playing styles and techniques.
