WTMusic Interview - Brad Gillis of Night Ranger

Night Ranger guitarist Brad Gillis joins the program to talk about the band’s new Best Of collection, the evolution of his legendary guitar style, his time with Ozzy Osbourne, life on the road, and what could be next for Night Ranger.

Few guitarists have developed a sound and stage presence quite like Brad Gillis. As a longtime member of Night Ranger and one of rock’s most recognizable whammy-bar players, Gillis has spent more than four decades building a career that connects classic hard rock, melodic songwriting and innovative guitar work.

In this episode of We Talk Music, Gillis sits down with hosts Brett and Morten for a wide-ranging conversation about Night Ranger’s music, his approach to the guitar, his unforgettable time playing with Ozzy Osbourne, and why he still approaches touring with the energy of a much younger musician.

Hear Brad Gillis discuss Night Ranger, the new Best Of collection, remastering classic rock songs, his signature whammy-bar technique, Ozzy Osbourne, Randy Rhoads, touring, guitars and what's next for Night Ranger.

Night Ranger continues to tour extensively, and Gillis promises that the band is still bringing everything it has to the stage.

As he puts it, they're still “throwing down 110% every night.”
