MR

Are Styx and Night Ranger going out on tour together?

I read somewhere that they were.

If so, when????

Night Ranger is the new opening act for the second leg of the "Can't Stop Rockin'" Tourwith STYX and REO. I know they are playing Somet Center in Nashville on November 15th.

Isnt Jeff Watson in Night Ranger?

Isnt he currently playing in DDY's band??

Night Ranger was the opener for Journey in Shreveport a few weeks back.


I didnt get to see em but I heard they were awesome.

Jeff Watson left Night Ranger in 2007 I believe. He was on their recent CD, but I think he was in essence ousted since he wanted the band to go in a different direction. Not entirely sure, but I think that's how it went.

Regardless, Jeff Watson is certainly NOT in Night Ranger anymore. They have Joel Hoekstra, a newer, lesser known player who plays lead for the Rock Of Ages show in NYC. KILLER PLAYER who learned in a style similar to Jeff. (Also a Night Ranger fan).

I actually read that Jeff Watson is playing guitar in DDY's band (or at least played one show with DDY).

Funny how the Styx-Night Ranger circle meets.

In my opinion Night Ranger is one of the few bands that released their best material after their fifteen minutes had passed.

Neverland, Seven & Hole In The Sun in that order are their three best albums.

Their 80's material is VERY good but not as good as their later CD's

Neverland is an ABSOLUTE gem!!!

Yes.. Yogi, Neverland and Seven were really really good CDs, but Hole In The Sun? That I have to say disappointed me greatly.. On the later albums, there was always one night ranger song that I really liked and continue to play.. as for Hole.. nadda.. nothing.

I think this is a GREAT album. I listen to it all the time. I guess we all have different opinions.
I hear a lot of Damn Yankees type of stuff in this album.

How many songs will Night Ranger play on the tour? Since they're the opener, I would guess that they get less playtime than the big two.

Jodes,

'Your Gonna Hear From Me' is a GREAT GREAT rocker and 'There is Life' is one of their best songs ever.

Listen to em again.

Hole In The Sun is not as good as Seven or Neverland ( their best ), but it is still a VERY VERY good CD.

Ooops.. There is Life is a great track.. Sorry Yogi, I completely forgot that song was on that CD! I guess I was so unimpressed with the rest of it completely slipped my mind!
