See, now I don't think the Mojo lineup lasted long enough for the casual fan to even catch on to it. *I* was one of those people who saw "Night Ranger!" and rushed out and then said "Who is that guy on bass?" But Brad was there, and Kelly, and after warming up to the idea, Gary just knocked my socks off! Maybe it's a "roll with the changes" kinda thing...but if you were there to see Jack, yes, you definitely would've been disappointed in the fact that he was not in attendence.
But I don't think the absence of Jeff, Jack, and Fitz detracts from "Feeding off the Mojo" as being a great rock album. And I find it sad that a lot of people won't give it a chance because Blades isn't on it. After all, Kelly was a big part of the voice in NR as well...
And I still think the casual listener seeing the name Night Ranger on a marquee will say "Yeah, they did Sister Christian! I loved that song. Let's go see 'em"
