Hey fellow Ranger's! Webmaster of this Night Ranger site speaking here. I have been a Night Ranger fan since I first found out about the band in 1993 while watching the Michael J. Fox movie "The Secret Of My Success". I quickly created a Night Ranger site on the internet because there were very few Night Ranger sites on the net at that time. KD, my great Night Ranger teacher, had an awesome site about the band (you might remember his old site), so I figured, HEY why not make another one? This band deserves to be very well known! And if this website can help the band in any way getting more known out there, it's worth it for me!

One of the main reasons why I started running this site way back then was to make old fans of the band aware of the fact that the band is BACK with NEW MUSIC! And, of course, to MAKE new fans of the band! And believe me, this happens every day! :)

As for my hobbies, I like playing drums, and I've been playing on my Pearl Export since 1999 and I really enjoy it! It's on of my very favorite things to do. Actually, I bought this drum set after seeing my first Night Ranger concert ever, in Albany, NY in 1999! Kelly Keagy of Night Ranger is one of my biggest idols, and I just love the way he plays and sings, all at the same time!!! It just looks so natural when he's doing it! One day I want to sing and drum at the same time too! But for now, I'm just playing the drums.

Night Ranger kicked MAJOR ASS the first time I saw them at the huge in-door venue Pepsi Arena in Albany, NY in 1999! It was pretty unreal seeing the guys in the flesh for my first time ever up on that huge stage! I remember meeting Brad and Jeff for the first time of my life, backstage at the Pepsi Arena in Albany, NY, on the Rock Never Stops Tour in 1999! Man, look at that photo! Notice how heaven-fallen I look! I remember what it felt like when Brad Gillis stepped into the room. Like the joker he is, he had the extrememly weird look of MY face on his face. He looked sooooooo funny! Well, *I* looked funny.. Haha! I also remember pulling Jeff's hair trying to put my arm around his neck for a photo! Ouch! I was a nervous wreck seeing these guys for the first time in my life! Hehe! Oh man, the memories! Great, great memories! Too bad I didn't have the balls to walk past that security guard protecting the tour bus on the backside of the Pepsi Arena building. The bad were inside the bus with some fans having a blast! I was just so shy back then! Hehe! But, I had the time of my life meeting you guys, Jeff and Brad! You rock!!!

The second time I saw them, outdoor at a festival in Chicago Ridge, IL in 2000, was just as special! I was hungry for more Night Ranger, and man, what a blast is was seeing the guys play live again!!! I also met Kelly, Jack and Fitz for the first time in my life! Meeting KK´s gf was also cool. She was too kind to us! I was with my best friend at this gig, and boy was he in for a surprise. He was not a Night Ranger fan at that time, but after the concert, he surely was... And as of today that Night Ranger gig is still the best gig he ever saw! Pretty cool, huh?

I'm proud to say that I've seen the band live about 20 times by now. Man, what an explosive show it was at the Boulder Station Casino in Las Vegas in December 2005! I will never forget that show! The most special Night Ranger show I've ever seen! The even played "The Secret Of My Success" live.. That single song live alone must be the most amazing thing I've ever seen of heard! WOW!!!

And it was "THE vacation of my life" over on the West Coast back in August 2007, when THE GIRLS (the highly acclaimed Night Ranger fan-group!) took me under their wings and made me what I always dreamt of becoming.. A Girl! *Laughs* Thanks for all the good memories, dear THE GIRLS - and thanks for making me feel special! Night Ranger, you just keep getting better and better every time I see you live! And B, thanks bro, I had a blast!!! ;)

I've also been collecting Night Ranger "stuff" since 1995, and I own almost everything the band has released, plus a few other interesting items. I try to get my hands on as much Night Ranger stuff as possible. You will be surprised about how much cool Night Ranger stuff there's out there! You'll find a few interesting Night Ranger items at Ebay, like I did! Check out my little list of Night Ranger stuff below!

Take care!

And remember... No matter what anybody tells you, no matter what anybody says: Keep Rockin' !!!!!




Thanks to Night Ranger for adding more classics to their current live set-list!

We wanted Night Ranger at the Sweden Rock Festival 2009 in Sweden, Europe! And we got them at the festival in 2012! :)
