“When you close your Eyes “and “Don’t tell me you love me” are their two other great songs. The latter really rocks!!!

Good suggestion But "( You Can Still)Rock in America" is numero uno! All 3 Great of course.

[@generoberts9151]

This band has two very talented guitarists . Brad Gillis (who filled in With Ozzy after Rhoads passed) and the very underrated Rick Watson. Look up the not often played “Play Rough” very cool. “Sing me Away” is also good.

Terrific hard/glam rock band. This is a power ballad about the drummer's (Kelly Keagy) little sister, Christy. When the song was practiced, the words "sister Christy" sounded like "sister Christian", & there it is. The band says "motoring" refers to cruising. BTW, SOME of us who listened to Iron Maiden ALSO listened to this type of music, as well. Thanks for your reaction.

"Don't Tell Me You Love Me" is a hard-driving rock song! Almost metal!

"Rumours in the air" is mind-blowing with the delayed guitars at the very beginning of the song... "Rock in America" has great guitar solos by Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson...

I feel like motorin' means moving on fast something like that. It's just all about a a guy that wants to protect a girl that's maybe growing a little too fast in life and growing up too soon❤

Motoring was a term for cruising,as in cars.

[@chuckhutton5087]

Originally drummer Kelly Keagy wrote song as Sister Kristy(?) after his sister. Jack Blades misunderstood and sang it as Christian. Professor of Rock Adam Reader did an episode with band mates interviews about this song. Love your reviews and reactions.

[@itchyandred4131]

I love that both Jack blades and Kelly keagy sang lead on a lot of songs, Kelly sang lead on this song ✌️

[@TerryKrysinski]

Jack doesn't sing it-- drummer Kelly (Keagy-writer) does. So-no misunderstanding of the lyrics. Kelly always called his kid sister 'Kristy'. When Kelly wrote the song,he/they decided to change it to 'Christian' (poetic liscence). T

[@davidolson2729]

Kelly sang it for Jack Blades and Brad Gillis, they heard “Christian” not “Kristin”. They thought it sounded better with the latter as opposed to the former.

[@joebarrera9741]

I love both TRIUMPH AND NIGHT RANGER

[@kevinkaurin8383]

Immediate chills on the first few chords. So many memories and feels rushing in. These songs defined my Teen years. Thanks!

[@yar9333]

The drummer Kelly Keagy, who wrote and sang this song, is from Elmira oregon a little town outside of Eugene, Oregon where I lived at the time they were huge in the 80s. I delivered furniture to his Mom and Dads house. I didn’t know thats were I was going until I got there and the furniture was being put in a new addition they had just built and as I was taking the furniture in I noticed gold records on the wall and other music awards. I verified it was his parents and they said they built the room to house his music stuff and have a place for the band to hang out when they came through town. I saw them live in ‘83 at Oregon Jam and met them at a record store signing in early ‘84 and they were the nicest dudes, very down to earth.

[@Niecy70]

Absolutely one of those songs that we all cherished in the 80s and still cherish today LOL❤

[@anthonyjd6097]

[@grega8586]

"Rock In America" is that song that led me to Night Ranger. "When You Close Your Eyes" was another favorite of mine. I'd have to look up other songs to refresh my memory as I haven't listened to them for quite some time. ...but back to my usual routine 😀 #nicknlexrequest Be Bop Deluxe - Axe Victim 😀

[@timjones8377]

Three songs I love to play on guitar by them are Goodbye Don't Tell Me You Love Me and Night Ranger ❤ Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson were great guitarists 😎

[@markhaus2830]

Brad still is! Night Ranger is still recording and touring. Jeff Watson is not with them anymore. I don't know what he's doing.

[@douglasg.9271]

I believe the phrase “motoring” is a local (pacific northwest ) term for “cruising” in a car.

[@gotrhythm1]

Lead singer Jack Blades went on to form Damn Yankees (with Ted Nugent and Tommy Shaw of Styx), their biggest hit was called "High Enough". It has the same energy as this one.

[@mikefetterman6782]

This song was so different in "feel" and atmosphere, that it became a HUGE hit for a few months, it was one of those great songs that got so overplayed, by the end of summer everybody needed a break from it. I go back and listen every few months and it always takes me back. I was a freshman (15) in high school when this came out.

[@mikefetterman6782]

The drummer is the singer/writer of this song.

[@Will_I_am59]

Nice reaction :) Night Ranger was a really good band back in the '80's. Ozzy chose guitarist Brad Gillis to play on his Randy Rhodes tribute album. The guy's a master of the whammy bar. Sister Christian was considered more of a ballad by Night Ranger. If you want to check out some really rockin songs try 'Don't tell me you love me', 'Eddies coming out tonight', 'Touch of Madness' and 'Passion Play'. You'll see a whole different side of them ;)

[@tomlaw17]

He really rips on Speak of the Devil.

[@michaelbourrell6948]

This song in "Boogie Nights" in rather disturbing scene. 😂 Motoring means driving an automobile or cruising down the road while listening to music with friends. The term had become popular during the 1970s

[@mvunit3]

Oh! Well there you go. THAT definition makes MUCH more sense than what I was thinking (i.e. "Moving On").

the drummer wrote this song about his little sister growing up too fast , other great songs, " Don't tell me you love me" and " When you close your eyes"

[@cmholmes1067]

Four in the morning, Sing me away, You can still rock in America, Sentimental Street, When you close your eyes, Goodbye, are all good songs by Night Ranger.

[@narvik9035]

Night Ranger was a band who played AOR most of the time. AOR stands for either: Adult Oriented Rock Album Oriented Rock Arena Oriented Rock/Arena Rock/Stadium Rock This was mainstream rock in the early 80s (Journey, Kansas, Foreigner, Survivor, Triumph, Boston, Loverboy, Waysted, Reo Speedwagon, Asia) Wikipedia excerpt: The song is about Keagy's little sister, Christy. Keagy wrote the song at his apartment, near Divisadero and California Streets in San Francisco, after he had just returned from a visit to his hometown of Eugene, Oregon. He had been struck by how fast his teenaged sister, 10 years younger than he was, was growing up.[9] "After we started playing it a lot, Jack turned to me and said, 'What exactly are you saying?'" Keagy recalled. "He thought the words were Sister Christian, instead of Sister Christy, so it just stuck."[9] The lyric, "You're motoring. What's your price for flight? In finding Mr. Right?" is the subject of much debate. The band stated in a VH-1 Behind the Music interview[10] that the term "motoring" was synonymous with the term "cruising". ............. AOR was later replaced by Glam Metal (Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, Poison bla bla bla) and Poser Metal (Bon Jovi, Skid Row) as mainstream rock. Glam trace their influences back to KISS, T-Rex etc Glam was the replaced by Sleaze Metal (GunsnRoses, Sea Hags, Dangerous Toys). Sleaze trace their influences back to bands like Aerosmith. Glam and Sleaze then got replaced by Grunge, Alternative, and Groove Metal. They got replaced by Nu-Metal (Korn, Shineshank, Slipknot, Linkin Park etc) and Metalcore (Avenged Sevenfold, Alesana, Trivium etc)

[@narvik9035]

@kbrewski1 In the German Rock radio stations, they played Glam while AOR became something old fashion. For me AOR, Glam, and Sleaze are mainly the same style musically, but glam and sleaze changed their image. In Germany we call the music American Metal as an umbrella term. In Germany, the masses listened to what was trendy and new. Glam was new when it started. Therefore, AOR became old among the fans. When GunsnRoses released Appetite For Destruction, Motley Crue etc became old fashion. AOR was not replaced but Glam and Sleaze Metal were like a New Wave of American Mainstream Rock - at least in Germany.

Hallo Narvik (Kai?), bist du jetzt unser Tony 2 (mrvunit) ? 😆 Ich finde es gut wenn Musikfreunde ihr Wissen mit anderen teilen, habe ich hier ja auch lange gemacht. Die Aufzählung der Nu Metal und Metalcore Bands beinhaltet viele Lieblingsbands meines Sohnes, er hört aber mit mir auch classic metal und prog/progmetal. Ich finde von den Bands Trivium am besten, wünsche mir aber, dass Matt Heavy am besten nur singt, die Musik von denen ist aber spitze. Gruß aus NRW Rudi🤘

[@S.Carton_Esq.]

It's a coming of age song. She's growing up and on the road (motorin). She's exploring the world as a young adult. He's telling her not to "give IT up before your time is due." See?

[@riker1963]

I saw Night Ranger this year in Pensacola Florida. The lead guitarist also played in the group Damn Yankees. And they played some of their songs

[@charlesberry9683]

Great song. Became the band's biggest hit. Then, the record company only wanted ballads and ballads. They are a kick ass rock band. First five albums all rock!!!!

[@MeatTPhan]

I really appreciate that you react to just the music and not to a video of a performance. When people do these videos and "react" to a song with video, they aren't really listening or hearing the song.

[@ELEcomments]

The song is actually very wholesome and sweet. It's about the songwriter's younger sister and his fear that she's growing up too fast, and not getting a chance to enjoy life. She's "motoring" through life. If you watch the music video it shows graduation and all that so it makes more sense.

[@scottanderson8420]

Fun to watch you excavate and discover in these impromptu reactions. Hair Metal for sure I think we also called it Glam Rock. It wasn’t music I collected but I sure heard it on the radio. Always had catchy hooks and memorable phrases. Fun to see your faces light up as the music becomes recognized. All smiles great stuff. 👍👍

[@generoberts9151]

Yeah really commercial 80s . They should do some others from them

[@betseyr.9081]

Kelly Keagy wrote this about his little sister, a kind of warning to her you might say. Motoring = crusin’ and looking for a "good time” (pick up)… get it now?… Moving on to another hit from 1982, and a “road” song as well, Robert Plant, “Big Log” is a must… possibly the best driving song ever recorded!!! Some other “Power Ballad” hits in the 80’s are: Bad English - "When I See You Smile”, Cheap Trick - "The Flame”, Cutting Crew - "(I Just) Died In Your Arms”, Firehouse - "I Need You Now”, Great White - "Save Your Love”, Kajagoogoo - "Too Shy”, Loverboy - "Turn Me Loose”, Scorpions, "No One Like You”, Sheriff - "When I'm With You” and Whitesnake - "Is This Love”.

[@fenderchamp8241]

There used to be a small chain of restaurants called Sisters Chicken. So you can guess how the chorus was sung around here.😊

[@chuckleggio279]

Drummer Kelly Keagy wrote it about his little sister Christy, basically telling her you're growing up so fast and not to let guys pressure her into sex before she was ready. Jack Blades misunderstood Kelly as saying Sister Christian instead of sister Christy. Basically a big brother telling his sister I know what guys are after so be aware, The nuns are in the video because it's set in a girls catholic school.

I went to one of their concerts very early and found the drummer walking around the venue before the show. He was very gracious and let us take a picture with him. Sister Christian was a very popular power ballad. I would love to see a reaction video of the rockin' songs like You Can Still Rock in America or one of their lesser known songs called Eddie's Coming Out Tonight. I love this video, hit like, and subscribed. Keep up the great work!

You couldn’t be more wrong about us Maiden-heads listening to Night Ranger. Guitarists Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson were phenoms, and anyone into guitar oriented rock loved and appreciated it. Not sure if you knew that Brad Gillis was the man who replaced Randy Rhoads on the tour that he was killed. I saw that tour with Brad Gillis in 1982. I would have loved to have seen Randy, but Brad was fucking awesome.

[@jaemyrick5277]

This track was played on FM radio in the 80’s in heavy rotation. Very popular on MTV in the 80’s. Great great song. This song is about the lead singers little sister becoming a teenage girl and all the highs and lows that go along with it.

[@steverobillard3241]

Night ranger was a band that could do it all when it came to Rock-n-roll. One to check out, a heavy metal banger was the title song off of their self titled album, Try listening to "night Ranger" or "A touch of Madness".

I was just out of the 3'rd grade going into the 4'th grade in the Summer of 1984 when this track was booming on the radio. I'm an extreme metal head now at 48 but really had no idea what heavy metal music even was at that point. To me this was just another rock song on the radio that sounded really good

Night Rangers guitarist (Brad Gillis) was the first guitarist to take over for Randy Rhoades with Ozzy Osbourne. He is featured on Ozzy's first live album "Speak of the Devil" however after that tour was finished , Brad chose to leave Ozzy's band and go back to Night Ranger. It was after Brad's departure that Ozzy then hired Jake E Lee. Brad Gillis is an exceptional guitarist.

[@DocRock71]

It was fun seeing your reaction when you recognized the song! Night Ranger was one of the 40th or 50th Anniversary tours of bands of my youth that I've seen this year (Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Foreigner, Loverboy, also Tears For Fears (still amazing!) and I just saw Doobie Brothers with Michael McDonald for their 50th anniversary tour last week as well...the 1st time they've played together in 25 years and that was not to be missed.

[@williamarmstrong7721]

' You know, 'Motorin' what is it?' It's driving around in your car

[@castlew4162]

Motorin' is another slang for Cruisin' - i.e. teens driving around town as way to meet up with others. Sometimes that resulted in everyone meeting at some location to party that was not determined ahead of time so the authorities or parents did not get wind of it. See movies "American Graffiti" and "Dazed and Confused". Jack Blades of Night Ranger went to the supergroup "Damn Yankees" with Tommy Shaw (Styx), Ted Nugent, and Michael Cartellone(now with Lynyrd Skynyrd). With Tommy and Jack on awesome vocals and Ted on the shredding guitar, they produced some great stuff in just the few years of the band. Check out the song "COME AGAIN" live from Raleigh '91 (close to my hometown) or the official video. "Silence Is Broken", "Where You Goin' Now", and their biggest hit "High Enough" are ballad/rock combo songs. Jack and Tommy are also "Shaw-Blades" doing stuff between their bands obligations.

[@greeneyesinfl9954]

83 US Festival featured Triumph, Judas Priest, and Ozzy Osborne. Awesome performances during this event. I loved Judas Priest the most. I”m nearly 60, and saw for the first time, these performances just a few months ago. I never heard “Victim of Changes”, and practically listen to that every day now, as well as Triumph. Never really check out the Ozzy performance for this festival, but that’s next.

[@chrisgrove7829]

Night Ranger is epic and this is not their only epic song:) They are amazing:)

[@TerryKrysinski]

Guys- Night Ranger have tons of great songs. They hit with this semi-ballad,but they are mainly a very melodic rock band with other-wordly guitar work (bordering on metal with harmony lead work in most tracks). And- they are still recording/touring to this day. I suggest tapping into the greatest hits-being you are unfamiliar with them. Don't Tell Me You Love Me,You Can Still Rock In America are two huge hits. But you'll find great songs on more recent albums too. Enjoy the ride! T

[@yar9333]

Glad that you did the album version. The single cuts out the guitar solo which in my opinion this the best part of the song. And they are still around and still kickin’ ass. Go see them, great live.

[@jaimegarcia6114]

The best part for people like me (I'm 63) is when younger generations discover music of our youth. That includes 70's ( my teen years) 80's, etc...

[@nosparex]

Next up from them should be "Don't Tell Me You Love Me." Then you might enjoy checking out a band by the name of Damn Yankees, that had Jack Blades (Night Ranger), Tommy Shaw (Styx), and Ted Nugent (Ted Nugent). Their song "Come Again" is excellent, as is the video for the song. And if you'll indulge me for another minute to speak on Triumph. "Lay It On The Line" gets a lot of attention on KZbin, and rightly so. I would suggest it next for your Triumph interests, and if you're up for a deep cut from Triumph, try "Nature's Child." You'll love all of these!

Brad Gillis, one of the 2 guitarist, was the replacement for Randy Rhodes after his untimely passing

Motoring means cruising. Like on a Saturday night:)

He wrote this for his sister "Christy" but that name didn't quite sound as good. He went home to visit family for the holidays, and his sister was just getting ready to leave for college. "You're Motoring" means, wow, you are moving and growing up so fast. He was trying to tell his sister to stop and smell the roses of adolescence as long as possible. Once you cross that line of adulthood, there is no going back. (the same message Don Henley used for Hotel California.)

I love it when you guys do this stuff!

A certain generation of people…well said. I know this song because in my senior year of high school the votes for best song was “Sister Christian” Night Ranger vs “Rock You Like A Hurricane” Scorpions. Night Ranger won because all the girls in my class loved this song. LOL Night Ranger has a harder type of rock hit “Still Rock In America”.

The album Dawn Patrol was amazing too

[@johnpolizzanoart2828]

Great reaction! I was 17 when this album was out and I LOVED it. Never gets old and yes it WAS radio gold! Night Ranger was awesome but my other favorite band was IRON MAIDEN! A lot of us listened to all kinds of hard rock/heavy metal and I still do! “Don’t tell me you love me” rocks! That would be my recommendation for the next Night Ranger reaction.

Motoring: basically cruising around in the car✌️

Boogie Nights!!!!! Featured in the drug deal scene.

Lol I have tickets to see them with My husband in July. I've never seen them. Check out damn Yankees. The lead singer was the same.

[@shanemwood]

I loved Iron Maiden and Night Ranger equally. Rocked me through the 80s. 🤘

[@tomstory9424]

Don’t Tell Me You Love Me…..awesome song. I’m much more into Maiden and the like. But Nightranger has a few great songs. Guilty pleasure. Lol. Loverboy in that same category for me.

If I Remember Correctly, It's About One Of The Band Member's Sister's & How Quickly She's Growing Up Example Motoring Through Her Life "Don't Tell Me That You Love Me" Is Another Great Tune By Night Ranger Great Reaction Guy's May I Suggest A Triumph Song ? Studio Version - Rock n Roll Machine Suggesting This Song & The Studio Version Thinking That You Both Will Really Enjoy Ric Emmett's Guitar Solo Like Your Channel Keep Doing What You're Doing! Thanks Again, Cheers From Western Canada

Drummer Kelly Keady wrote an ode to his sister. Her name was not Christian but Christy.

This song is in a well known intense scene in the movie Boogie Nights with Mark Wahlberg
