I was born at the end of the 1980 decade and I am missing them too. Weird, isn't it? It's like I lived at the time but I didn't, sadly. But it's that special 80s vibe of countless movies, shows and music that gets me going all the time.
I'm 61 and REALLY miss the 80s. All I need is a TARDIS, I don't understand why one has not shown up yet!! I can't stop listening to this song. For the past week I've been playing all through my lunch hour (only officially 45 minutes, but I steal the last 15 minutes 😆) I put it on loop and it plays and plays. Each time I play it, I make it louder!! Thankfully, I have a earbuds...my coworkers would think I was nuts!! But, they're all millenials, so they wouldn't understand!
N 82 I was 18. Had a 78 Camaro Jensen stereo, pyramid EQ, 200watt amp n 6907 speakers. I play this n it'd knock ur socks off.. Prolly y I'm half deaf now...GREAT TIMES..
Yeah I was class of 82. Had to carry the American flag down the aisle with a ^stupid^ gold rope on my shoulders at graduation. All my crownies were laughn as I was 1 of the biggest weed handlers att. Funny how life goes.......
i’m 22 now, i honestly feel like i was a part of the 80s. graduated in ‘20, i had cassettes i bought at a garage sale i jammed out to in my 1990 chevy. ROCK ON!!!!!
2.11.2024...played this song as loud as I could and still LOVE it now at 54 as I did when I was 12. The beat, the guitars, the voice and killer lyrics. My 31 year old son said 80s music is the best. So true💓🦋🌷
You taught your son well. I'm 50, and agree, that growing up in the 70's and 80's, we had the best music, with the most talented musicians. Glad I was raised like you're raising your son. I was turned on to Jimi Hendrix at the age of 11, in 6th grade, since I always hung out with an older crowd. God Bless and Keep Rocking!
59 yrs old. Both of my girls, 31 and 21 love the music I grew up with. TIMELESS!!! Like sand through the hour glass. So is the music of our Lives!!!!!!!
Saw them in concert over the weekend and man they rocked it big time. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. They played hard and loud and it was AWESOME!!!!! They can still bring it all this years later. Rock on NIGHT RANGER!!!
@@epistte It was hard for rock-n-roll bands in the 80s like Night Ranger, Styx, Y&T, and Dokken. The music scene was all hair bands and new wave. If your record company couldn't shoehorn you into one of those two genres, they didn't know how to market you.
They are for sure. I mean Ozzy basically has gone on the record as saying Brad Gillis essentially saved him and his band after Randy died. These guys have been really good for a long time.
@@TheYobo1016 Unfortunately, Brad stepping into Randy's shoes made legions of Randy fans hate him and, by extension, hate Night Ranger. One of my Ozzy friends in high school hated Night Ranger so much that he'd pick a fight with any guy wearing a Night Ranger t-shirt.
im 55 now and I played the heck of the cassette that I had of this album until it got stuck!! Back in middle school..those were the days ..so many great memories..
How many people here today remember when MTV was just getting started? Back in the day, when they were nothing but music videos 24/7. I learned later that the MTV enterprise endured 100% financial loss to gain market. They didn't have ads, they earned no revenue. It was non-stop music videos. THIS video played about 50 times a day.
I'm 53 and I remember the start of MTV and HBO and all thing's 80's thank you for your post friend, nothing like that day and age, 70's 80's then thing's started to change in the 90's even SNL went down hill.
It's more straight up in your face rock and less of a mellow ballad. It was good but this is showing more of what they could do musically. Both are great vocalist. That drummer had some great songs to like Send Me Away.
@@unclej7842 Great tune. That drummer sure could sing as good as Jack Blades. They never had a bad song. My favorite from the drummer would have to be Why Does Love Have To Change.
This is the first song that I heard from this band more than 40 years ago , I am now 61 and love this song still …….it’s a timeless classic in my opinion .Glad I found it on here so I could hear it again.
Anything you can think of is here, if you've got the time, look for anything you liked and haven't seen in a while, I'm sure it's worth more to you than the people who take these platforms for granted in terms of preserving media
Yes 61 now here also, back then just after hearing the very first verse and the chorus I was on the way to the record store and The Rest Is History! Haha, The First by them for me also, still Cranking it Loud Today!!
I'm going to see them in 17 days ...in my city state fair Escanaba Michigan U P State Fair ...I seen them like back in the early 80s ...they rock.... 2:34
My wife and I lived on MTV. It was the only thing on in the house for years, then VH1. It was the bomb when we ran the tv through the stereo. The vibrations of our life played by artitsts not seen today. Love this band.
I was 18 in 81 and I can relate. Still healthy, long hair and rocking, just wanted to say COOL story man, miss those days at times but what a FN Party. God Bless
When my daughter asked me how will I define her rock, I played this song... I am 53 and she is 12.... it has everything, awesome guitar sounds, exceptional keyboards, clean voice, and superb drums... There are many other songs that qualify, but this one I have it deep rooted in me....
@yefartz108 she likes it, but feels that the story behind is just too complicated... if you see the lyrics behind today's songs, there are just two or three phrases and that's it.
@@richieh6465 At least she spends quality time with me hearing 80's... and a little bit older songs... but today's k-pop keeps her interest... and I still cannot understand how kids like it... it is just too.... insipid... no taste, no anything. And by the way, no nice chicks (my daughter's comment: "Dad, in those videos there are many cool ladies, but they dress somewhat weird".....)
Wish someone today would make music like this and this is just one of the many songs that Night Ranger made that hold up today they just got better and better and glad they were part of the 80's rock era. Four in the morning is one of my favorite songs.
Man it was great just to crank it up as loud as possible with Jensen’s 6 x 9 and your power amplifier. And let’s not forget our air guitars, and our drums on the dash and steering wheel.. just rock it out
Some of the most rippin' guitar ever! This made a huge impression on me as a young guitar player back in the '80s. Hard to beat Brad and Jeff - total power duo.
@@SteveSmith-fp9gn 'all' is very harsh, and not entirely accurate. I would suggest watching Synyster Gates from Avenged Sevenfold. I don't care for his tone but the technical acumen is beyond the pale of most. That's just one lol.
There is a handful of 1980s songs that every rock music fan should hear. This is one of them. Not only did the band fire on all cylinders when recording this song, but it added more cylinders and fired on them too just because the band was that badass. I don’t say that lightly. 🎸🎸🎤🥁🎹

worked security for Night Ranger at an autograph signing when I was 16. They Opened for Sammy Hagar on their Dawn Patrol tour....It was a GREAT time for a 16 yr old kid in the 80's. BTW...AWESOME concert !
Saw them at a free concert in Canton, Ohio. Was great seeing parents bring their kids. Some in strollers. Everyone stood and sang every word of every song. Just a great band.
Wicked guitar solo in this one. When you play guitar in the era on Van Halen, you won't get noticed, but this guy shows it off in this one, that and You Can Still Rock in America.
Jeff’s solo is fantastic. For those who haven’t seen the video for Passion Play, their is a live version from the Palace that has an extended out solo from Jeff on that. I really wish that they could reconcile whatever differences they have and get Jeff back
The outtro of this was part of KNCN C-101's ad. Met these dudes at Record Bar in Sunrise Mall on the "Midnight Madness" tour. Nice enoigh fellas, but I'd wager we had been hot ladies instead of junior high-aged kids. Hell, you can still rock in America! 😝🤔🤘
Well thank you for your adulation. well I have to speak from the truth because I generally just speak from the truth? I met these men back in 1986 and I was photographing them and the first time I met Brad gillis, I said what was it like to play with Ozzy Osbourne and that's always real name his name is John Osborne but anyway I'll get past that he said it was debauchery I can only imagine to replace Randy Rhodes who I met two years earlier when I was 14 and I photographic proof of that too which was stolen away from me and that's a fact because when I sat and had dinner with Zakk Wylde and I handed him one photograph because people stole my Kodachrome 64 slides away from me he said I wish people would take photographs of me like this. Yes it's a great song it's a true song Kelly kegy the drummer and Jack blades to me when I remember watching these videos on MTV back in 1981 '82 this stood out to me to be one of the greatest songs verbatim !!!
That's actually Brad Gillis, he used to play in Rubicon, Jack Blades, then Night Ranger and then he went on to play for Ozzy Osbourne. IMHO, one of the greatest guitarists of the 80s rock scene.
I dated one of the guys in a band that opened for Ozzy & he sat next to me on the tour bus. His Cockney accent made somethings indecipherable but he was hysterical. I used to smoke pot once or twice a year ( allergic/ asthmatic, mildly), but it seemed to make him more chatty😊❤
This song never gets old. Been a massive fan ever since they started. Like Cheap Trick, one of the hardest working bands in rock. Still putting out great new music!
This is definately one of those great songs and bands that never got the attention they deserved. This song and group are amazing!!! The beat and rhythm of this song is intoxicating.
I think he might be underappreciated by alot of people. Night Ranger rocked but by their own admission we're kinda hamstrung by the record label looking for another "Sister Christian". Hence the syrupy ballads. Like Neil Schon from Journey who played in Santana at 15-16 yrs old. Or George Lynch. Sometimes the songs don't tell the true story of how good a player really is
Yes I remember that very well. Gotta give him credit for jumping in right after Randy passed and getting every song down. I don`t like him all that much, cuz I don`t like his tone much. Too much chorus. Great player though!
Was a junior in high school in 82. This was the music you played that the chicks liked. I was Rush, Sabbath and Dio guy. Never considered this hard rock and I think it sounds better in 24 than in 82.
Watched them live, 2 months ago. They were a blast. It was a great show. If you get the chance go see them, it's worth it. They're new album ATBPO, it sounded great.
Great classic song, but what a total rush those solos are. I can't count how many times I've rewound just to listen to them over and over. Thanks, Brad and Jeff.
The second rock concert I ever went to was Sammy Hagar w/ special guests Night Ranger in 84. I got to see Night Ranger for the first time, then see Sammy do a solo on top of a Trans-Am, with flames shooting out, before hanging upside down from the light show. What a show, Night Ranger totally kicked ass, beautiful vocal harmonies and dual guitar solos. Good times! Still have the ticket stub :)
I was 17 and life was good when this came out... My BFF and I used to drive around and look for the guys we had crushes on.... I also put my mom's car in the ditch one night bc we were blasting this and singing loud... Those were simpler times.
I work for a company than builds amplifiers, speakers and other audio equipment. Since Covid, we do a lot of work from home and one afternoon I was blasting this song to test some speaker voicings when my 15yr. old son came home from school, ran into our garage and said, "Holy S**T DAD! WHAT the HELL IS THAT - It's AWESOME!!" Great music stands the test of time - He's a solid NR fan to this day.
I met Dale Harrison..I was 17 and suggestable, I drove to Memphis to see this 80s band..😊 I never got um, let's say, physically involved. He was a nice man..😊
These guys lived across the street from my girlfriend's parents back in '81. They helped her dad build his new house. Great bunch of guys... good neighbors. Over for dinner a lot. Fitz was one of her best friends. This is really a blast from the past for me.
Thats awesome
Can you imagine the pop stars of today swinging a hammer? The rockers of the past had soul due to their life experience and it came out in the music.

Did not appreciate how great this song is until I was in my 50’s!!!
Hard to believe this song hit the charts 40 years ago. Time Flies Indeed!
Why would you think that Great is great you can't take that away.
Well thank you for your adulation. well I have to speak from the truth because I generally just speak from the truth? I met these men back in 1986 and I was photographing them and the first time I met Brad gillis, I said what was it like to play with Ozzy Osbourne and that's always real name his name is John Osborne but anyway I'll get past that he said it was debauchery I can only imagine to replace Randy Rhodes who I met two years earlier when I was 14 and I photographic proof of that too which was stolen away from me and that's a fact because when I sat and had dinner with Zakk Wylde and I handed him one photograph because people stole my Kodachrome 64 slides away from me he said I wish people would take photographs of me like this. Yes it's a great song it's a true song Kelly kegy the drummer and Jack blades to me when I remember watching these videos on MTV back in 1981 '82 this stood out to me to be one of the greatest songs verbatim !!!
That's actually Brad Gillis, he used to play in Rubicon, Jack Blades, then Night Ranger and then he went on to play for Ozzy Osbourne. IMHO, one of the greatest guitarists of the 80s rock scene.
Just saw these guys last week and they can STILL ROCK IT after all these years!!40th anniversary tour!!❤️🎶🤘
I dated one of the guys in a band that opened for Ozzy & he sat next to me on the tour bus. His Cockney accent made somethings indecipherable but he was hysterical. I used to smoke pot once or twice a year ( allergic/ asthmatic, mildly), but it seemed to make him more chatty😊❤
Saw them again tonight July 5, 2023 and they still rock and sound like 1983. Love, love. love this song. Top 15-20 all-time favorite song for me.
That is some Killer guitar work in that solo!🎸🎸🎶🎼🎵
Anybody 2024 ? Song is badass cranked up...
Play it all the time !
👍
Here on the last day of 2024
Escuché está canción por primera vez en 1983 y me volví rockero.Gracias !
This song never gets old. Been a massive fan ever since they started. Like Cheap Trick, one of the hardest working bands in rock. Still putting out great new music!
You sure ain’t lying CORY !!!!!!
This is definately one of those great songs and bands that never got the attention they deserved. This song and group are amazing!!! The beat and rhythm of this song is intoxicating.
Brad Gillis played lead on Ozzys speak of the devil live album. Some of the most amazing solos you will ever hear.
I think he might be underappreciated by alot of people. Night Ranger rocked but by their own admission we're kinda hamstrung by the record label looking for another "Sister Christian". Hence the syrupy ballads. Like Neil Schon from Journey who played in Santana at 15-16 yrs old. Or George Lynch. Sometimes the songs don't tell the true story of how good a player really is
Yes I remember that very well. Gotta give him credit for jumping in right after Randy passed and getting every song down. I don`t like him all that much, cuz I don`t like his tone much. Too much chorus. Great player though!
His tone and solos on that album were a perfect compliment to Iommi and Rhodes, he kicked ass.
I worked/ scouted bands, met Ozzy, sat next to him on the Tour bus..he was HYSTERICAL..nice guy..I was maybe 17 years old
@@ShawnConrad-tw8du SO, I get it.., Neil Schon went solo for a minute, I used to be a dancer, I danced to his song, can't remember the name, though
This song still fucking rocks 40+ years later.Thank you Night Ranger.
Fuckin A!! 🤟🎸
I miss this so much, IT was AWESOME!!! Philadelphia USA 🇺🇲 AMEN ❤️☦️😇
Was a junior in high school in 82. This was the music you played that the chicks liked. I was Rush, Sabbath and Dio guy. Never considered this hard rock and I think it sounds better in 24 than in 82.
昔から何度もこの曲は聞（聴）いて来ましたが、プロモは初めてかも。
音の凄さは元より、矢張り、各パート、一音一音に込めるハートとエナジー
（死語？！！
しかし何時の世も人が生きる限り必要なモノ!!）
パッションは変わらず、
彼らのライブなどでもそれは体験など出来る！
,要は、
【本物！】
ってのはこういうものだ！と。
ピュアなロックンロールってのは、時代が変われば、
（変わっても）
人の心に突き刺さってくる、
こういうものだと…
良く示唆し、
【前のめりに、疑うこと無く頭から突っ込め！】
と言ってくれ、体現してくれている良い曲、演奏、動画の造り、と思う。
Maybe the greatest rock song ever written.
I swear to Zeus these guys were GREAT live! Straight and raw through the cabs, no bullshit and top energy!
Still rock this song all these years later CLASSIC
I used to see them hanging out at the Concord Palace on Monument back in the day. Always approachable. Always rock n roll cool...
Watched them live, 2 months ago. They were a blast. It was a great show. If you get the chance go see them, it's worth it. They're new album ATBPO, it sounded great.
55 And missing the 80s
Saw them 2times! Each a solid memory as a young kid!
They kick more than ass!
Absolutely one of their best songs!
Great classic song, but what a total rush those solos are. I can't count how many times I've rewound just to listen to them over and over. Thanks, Brad and Jeff.
Me too on the rewinding to hear multiple times back to back, lol . This song had an energy that very few songs matched .
I wish we had these days backkkkk
Flawless stuff--this just rocks all over the place!
jeff's solo still gives me goosebumps
Brad.
Brad Gillis
He replaced Rhodes to finish Ozzy Osbourne's tour.
This video is the reason why I bought Dawn Patrol cassette. Very underrated band.
Saw them here at home as a kid , the saw them again in Guam when I where I got stationed in the Navy , They sound great live too!
Yes they sound great live ,wasn’t disappointed at all going to their live performance at 6 flags 40 years ago.
The second rock concert I ever went to was Sammy Hagar w/ special guests Night Ranger in 84. I got to see Night Ranger for the first time, then see Sammy do a solo on top of a Trans-Am, with flames shooting out, before hanging upside down from the light show. What a show, Night Ranger totally kicked ass, beautiful vocal harmonies and dual guitar solos. Good times! Still have the ticket stub :)
This song still rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First video I ever saw on MTV, they still rock.
One of my all time favs, the guitar solo is off the chain!
I was 17 and life was good when this came out... My BFF and I used to drive around and look for the guys we had crushes on.... I also put my mom's car in the ditch one night bc we were blasting this and singing loud... Those were simpler times.
We used to reenact the ending of this video in my dorm room with a fan. This song still rocks and has some terrific guitar work.
I work for a company than builds amplifiers, speakers and other audio equipment. Since Covid, we do a lot of work from home and one afternoon I was blasting this song to test some speaker voicings when my 15yr. old son came home from school, ran into our garage and said, "Holy S**T DAD! WHAT the HELL IS THAT - It's AWESOME!!"
Great music stands the test of time - He's a solid NR fan to this day.
thanks from alaska 06/13/23 still rockin out....
高校時代に聞き出して、車の免許取って夜遊びで良く聴いた。走り続けたくなる曲です。
Love this song back in the day. I need to add to my 80s playlist. Hard to believe this is 40 years old.
Not one song from that era can be listened to at low volume. The best of times with the best music. My daughter loves Hair Bands.
I remember when this came out I was 23 Now Im 64 it still rocks me
Saw them in Puerto Rico in 83 , with Triumph imagine that ? It was a hell of a concert!! I really miss the 80s
Very underrated band some absolute banging tracks 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 at 56 so glad I lived the 80’s when some cracking bands existed ❤️❤️
I met Dale Harrison..I was 17 and suggestable, I drove to Memphis to see this 80s band..😊 I never got um, let's say, physically involved. He was a nice man..😊
This has my favorite guitar solo ever!!
Really? I mean it is indeed great, but better than Gilmour’s solo on Comfortably Numb??!!
@@chuckhutton5087 To me, yes.
Easily one of the top ten dueling hard rock guitar solo compositions from that era.
WWOOOWW THIS TUNE IS PURE ENERGY
In the 80s if you made the honor roll, the radio station would play your request. This was always my song. 💕💕💕
