<title>Night Ranger</title>
<description> I have been in this board for two months and feel frustrated because lots of talks about members of this great band but the name Night Ranger seem to have forgotten.
(Lots of talks of Damn Yankees though). 

I believe Night Ranger represents the ideal and perfect example of guitar-driven MHR(maybe Survivor comes close to that but I think NR is the best of that genre).

I used this band name a lot to explain modern MHR rock bands with AOR tastes to it such as Steelhouse Lane and Fair Warning. 

Let's get Night Ranger from the grave of oblivion and discuss this great rock band.

Regards

<title>RE: Neverland.</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,471,531#msg-531</link><description><![CDATA[ I missed Mojo probably because Japanese liner note writer of Neverland commented negative remarks referring to Night Ranger members' comments(by Jack Blades, Jeff Watson and Alan Fitzgerald)&quot;We shouldn't have done this&quot;...<br /><br />But with future NR releases facing financial difficulties(particularly the bunkrupcy of Zero Corporation which supported recent NR works in Japan was a tough blow to them), Mojo will surely be reappreciated.<br /><br />Thanks Rogues and other NR fans I will definitely buy those I missed.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Susumu]]></description>

<title>RE: Neverland.</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,471,530#msg-530</link><description><![CDATA[ You don't have &quot;Mojo&quot;?!?! Are you kidding me? Oh Susumu, you don't know what you're missing! Fabulous!! Wonderful! It totally rocks! Yeah, yeah, okay, I REALLY **DON'T** want to hear the &quot;Is it NR or isn't it NR?&quot; arguement again. All I have to say is: What does it say on the cover?!? Anyway, Gary Moon is just fantastic and the trio of Brad Gillis, Kelly Keagy, and Gary is simply magic. At least in my opinion. It definitely has more edge than the two latest NR CD's and to me, that's a plus. It's great, can't rave about it enough.<br /><br />But I actually heard &quot;Forever All Over Again&quot; a couple times on the radio. That's about it though. Like the rest of melodic rock, NR doesn't get much play. I know that conversation's happened a hundred times here before, but hey do what ya can!<br /><br />Rogue<br /><a href="http://RogueCreations.tripod.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://RogueCreations.tripod.com/</a>]]></description>

<title>Neverland.</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,471,516#msg-516</link><description><![CDATA[ I have their albums except Mojo and Seven. I will get Seven soon. Neverland was quite great album. It sounds a bit different from 80s Night Ranger but very attractive. But I am so sad this album was neglected in the U.S. They produced great singles from that album such as Say You Will( my No.1 favorite), My Elusive Mind and Sunday Morning which should have become Top 40 hit.<br /><br />Let's talk about Seven after I bought this<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Susumu]]></description>

<title>check out : www.melodicrock.com/jeffwatson.html</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,471,485#msg-485</link><description><![CDATA[ and you will find<br /><br />Andrew: Great! Are Night Ranger going to do anything for the 20th Anniversary then?<br /><br />Jeff: Well we are looking at touring this summer. We are looking at doing clubs on weekends or festivals. There were talks about Reo Speedwagon, Styx and Night Ranger. There has been talk of Journey and Night Ranger.<br /><br />Andrew: That would smoke...<br /><br />Jeff: Yeah that would be fun cause we are all such good buddies. The Journey guys live here too. We'll look at doing another record if there's enough interest from Europe or Japan. If something comes up it needs to be financially viable. It's gotta be substantial to get us all to fly in and get hotels and start recording together. We'd love to do one.<br /><br />Andrew: So nothing slated at the moment?<br /><br />Jeff: Nothing slated for a record but we are looking for some tour dates for the summer.<br /><br />Andrew: Cool. I was wrapped when you guys got back together. 'Neverland' and 'Seven' were a couple of great albums what is your feeling about those?<br /><br />Jeff: Yeah we went in and made some great product. The thing is in America and I can't speak for the rest of the world, but it's hard to get radio airplay, which means it's hard to sell albums. Without it nobody knows you have an album out. So for us we are making them but are a little bit disappointed because we weren't getting the airplay we were looking for. There are only so many hours in the day and there are so many new bands out there. It's hard being an 80's band and trying to get people to play your music. It's really difficult.<br />]]></description>

<title>RE: How About Their New Album, Any Plans?.</title><link>http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,471,484#msg-484</link><description><![CDATA[ I don't think NR will be recording a new album soon. Blades is supposedly going back in to record with Damn Yankess (as well as his many other projects). However, they WILL be doing a summer tour this year.<br /><br />Wasn't &quot;Seven&quot; and &quot;Neverland&quot; enough for you Susumu? :-) Hard to believe this band's been around 20 years, huh?....
