I was shall I say extremely grateful that I was Kelly's drum tech for the funniest ride of my career! They are world class guys, world class musicians. Kelly was the best man at my wedding. He sung when a man loves a woman. Made ROCK MOM CRY. She adored you all
She even has credits on 7 Wishes. Class acts. Love you and miss you all. Now go FUCKING KILL IT!!!
During their Seven Wishes tour they came to the town I lived to play a small venue. Across the street was a decent size shopping mall. They had a Walgreens in there at the time. I was walking through the store one afternoon and Kelly was in one of the aisles. I was a Night Ranger fan and had to look twice. I said “ hey aren’t you….” Before I could finish he says “ yeah man but please don’t be too loud I’m in a hurry to get back to the hotel I’m already late “ I shook his hand and off I went. Great interview. “ YOU CAN STILL ROCK IN AMERICA “
Joe, I've learned so much from your informative and awesome interviews with the cream of the crop guests. Many thanks...much appreciated.
Thanks again Ivan….Joe
One of the most talented bands ever. Hope this gets way more views.
I'll be seeing this man and the entire incredible band in person in a few weeks. I highly encourage everyone to check out the Night Ranger site for their list of concerts coming up. Hopefully I can speak with Kelly afterwards and I'll mention how much I enjoyed this interview. Funny that Kelly was impressed that Garth Brooks knew of Night Ranger when I consider Night Ranger a million times more relevant & talented. I hear zero Garth Brooks on the radio today, but a ton of Night Ranger.
My favorite live band - feel good guitar rock and they bring it every show!
Another good one, Joe. Kelly seems like a quality guy. I was living in San Francisco when Night Ranger hit it big; they were super, along with Journey, The J. Geils Band, Jefferson Starship - the Bay Area was a tinderbox of hot Rock 'n Roll bands. Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end....
Thanks Gary…Yes Kelly is a great guy… Best, Joe
When I see and hear a full time professional singing drummer with the history of the number of tours and concerts, I can only think of how exhausting it must have been for him. Week after week, month after month...Going full blast? Wow. He really, truly managed his mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health. (One thing, he never got around to answering who his early drumming influences were...lol) Thanks for the interview, Joe. Be well and take care.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Spyder…Joe
What a pleasure it was listening to both of you gentlemen! I really enjoy hearing about what it’s truly like being in a famous band and all it’s highs and lows..Kelly seems so damn cool and sincere..A true rarity from interviews I see with other musicians and artists
Great interview! I was 10 yrs old when Sister Christian came out. It's just one of those songs that is so good. The feeling it gives you when you hear it is larger than life. Kelly could have retired after that if he wanted to. And the video! 1982 to 1984 was such a good time for bands to be on MTV when it was still a new thing. It was established but, still fresh and the videos just kept getting better. And the coolest thing about it was it had more variety than whatever your favorite radio station was at the time. Sister Christian was in heavy rotation for a long time and I know Kelly and the boys benefited heavily from that.
I miss you so much Joe..
Still drinkin my mornin joe in Cambodia..havin a doob as dawn approaches..found this gem and had to imagine we were together again...
Love you more than ever...
Guitar Heaven embraces you.
Kelly, one of my fav drummers/singers since the beginning of N.R! He`s the one who got me singing alongside the drumming lead vocals! Thanx alot for this! Thanx for the Interview Joe, greetz from Austria!
Hey Andy, that’s cool, Kelly is such a kind person on top of being a great musician.
My Dad, Joe, passed away September 28th- but I know he would appreciate your kind comment.
If you haven’t already, hope you can visit the museum sometime too.
Best,
Britt
I finally got the time to listen to this interview. I wasn't disappointed. Night Ranger has always been one of my favorite bands. Great 80's Rock n Roll .
These videos bring me so much joy in this crazy world. Thanks!
Great interview! I recently saw Night Ranger in concert for the first time last November. One of the best live bands going! Such a great live show
Kelly Keagy is a great drummer & vocalist. Night Ranger, especially in the beginning, was a very talented band. Watson & Gillis made a killer guitar duo. I always thought Jack Blades was underrated as a bassist. I remember Fitzgerald from Montrose when he replaced Bill Church as bassist on Paper Money. As always, another great interview Joe! Thank you for bringing it to us!!
Thanks again for watching John…Joe
Kelly i watched Rubicon and Night Ranger in Sacramento pubs back in the day and always enjoyed the music you guys performed . thanks Joe for another great episode.
Rest in Peace Joe! Thanks for bringing these great interviews and musicians to 💡 light!
Adrian, I know dad would have appreciated your kind comment…. & I do too.
Thanks for supporting the channel. Hope you can visit the museum sometime.
Best,
Britt
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Thanks for your response and I certainly look forward to coming there soon to visit the Musicians Hall of Fame! God bless you and take care.
Adrian, again, thank your for your kindness.
Let us know when you make to the museum!
Every time I listen in to your backstage talks, Joe, I enjoy it very much! More often than not I do not know much about the folks you are talking with, so it's very enjoyable to get t to know these folks who have played a large part in the success of their bands. Thank you! Meeting Kelly Keagy was a warm experience! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Nici….Joe
Another great interview Joe. Funny hearing the stories especially the way the name Night Ranger came about. One of Rock-n-Rolls best names ever.
Thanks Doug…Joe
Night Ranger is such a great band from the 80's. They're one of my favorites from my high school days. When You Close Your Eyes is still tops to me.
Great bunch of guys. We did several sessions, great players!
Joe, another great episode , Kelly is a great interview, Sister Christian was and is a great ballad! Thanks for sharing!💫
YA JOE !!! THIS WAS GOOD GREAT QUESTIONS KEEP EM COMING
Thanks Jack… glad you enjoyed it. Kelly is just a really good person on top of being talented. Best, Joe
Whrn I was a young boy 👦 as a San Francisco native 🌁, I remember the roots of Night Ranger 🌙. Future co-founder Alan Fitzgerald was in Montrose with lead singer Sammy Hagar, who would go solo, and drummer 🥁 Denny Carmassi, who would join Heart ❤. I remember Rubicon and Alameda All Stars 🌟, where Fitzgerald, Jeff Watson and Brad Gillis played.
Meanwhile, Journey, Jefferson Starship, Huey Lewis and the News, Greg Kihn Band, the late Eddie Money, Lindsay Buckingham in Fleetwood Mac were tearing up the Billboard charts. 😊
Great band live and Dawn Patrol was my first time seeing Night Ranger live.🎸🎸
Great interview. Thanks Joe. Guess who's going to be looking for one of those 10,000 "Ranger" albums floating around in the cut-bins of the world? Ha! Love these bits of rock history shared by the artists. Be well and cannot wait to get to Nashville and tour the museum.
Thanks Clay… see you here..Joe
This interview is fun to listen to. Learned alot
Thanks Joe!
Great interview!
Thanks again
I was at one of those cowpalace shows very cool 😎
Another great interview Joe and Kelly seems such a nice fellow. I don't know why but I've never heard of Night Ranger but it doesn't even matter because the interviews are so interesting. I must check out Sister Christian. Thanks.
Thanks rocketpost1…. Joe
Excellent interview and band. Thank you! Kelly looks like Rick Springfield.
‘Looking good Joe’ !!!🥊🥊🔱👑🍊#GodBless
Thanks Frank….Joe
Thanks so much, Joe, for bringing all of the best to the Hall!
Thanks for watching Don…Joe
He looks like Will Ferrel lol. I loved this one. Love Night Ranger.
Another home run guest and interview. And nice to see old friends getting together.
Thanks Elmo..Joe
Joe thanks 🙏 your interviews are so interesting and informative.
Thank you too Fred. I appreciate the kind comments…Joe
His voice has changed as he's gotten older. Met him when he was 30. Changed.
A great interview, thanks Joe!
Thank you Mark….Joe
I've been watching Lou Graham on a few recent appearances and he really sounds good. This is a really cool interview Joe. I always learn so much. Thank you and hope you and your family are well. God Bless 👍🏻😎
Thanks David…Joe
Another insightful and warm interview, Joe! You always allow the timing for your guest to tell their story's. Please keep them coming. Any word on your Coffee Table Book?
Hopefully going to print but smaller than intended. 12x12 instead of 16x16. Thanks for asking ame….Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Thank you for responding so promptly Joe. Is the issue the finished price of the completed book or something else? I am still in as one of the first hundred but hoped for the true coffee table book. Please keep up the amazing interviews and work with the HOF. I so look forward to seeing my notification bell lit up! Arne
Arne,
Dad finished the last page while in the hospital in September.
We will have the book out hopefully by summer, it is truly beautiful & written in Dads voice, so it’s like a conversation with him.
We will keep you updated here as soon as it is available, thank you for being one of the first 100 & for continuing to support the channel.
Best,
Britt
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Thanks Britt! I so look forward to see the completed project that your father so clearly believed in. Best, Arne
Ladies & Gentlemen .....WILL FERRELL on drums!!
💛
Joe thanks for this video you always bring out so much out of the interview guest . Wondering your point of view of a question I have do you think some of the big stars use certain Nashville players on their records mostly they know they can whatever sound to fit the song or even maybe the player seems to be on big records and maybe hoping for some good luck with that players past success ?
Hi John… sure using great players can make or break a record. That’s why some players are session players and others are road musicians. Each have their different strong points to bring to the artist. Best, Joe
👍
And why wouldn't Garth Brooks know Sister Christian? It was a HUGE hit! Everyone knew it!
garate interview…
Kelly Keagy seems a little too humble about his accomplishments. Night Ranger has always been a great band.
Kelly is a regular guy. Best,Joe
