Night Ranger, 'Breakout' -- New Video

Night Ranger has a new video for the song "Breakout" -- from the upcoming album ATBPO. The new album comes out in August via Frontiers. I have to say, this is a surprisingly strong track. Top notch music.

But what do I detect? Was that Iron Maiden doing the intro? And what do I wish? Someone pulled the plug on those keyboards on occasion.
Still, good stuff. Good band, making music, updating their sound to account for having some teenagers they found playing stick ball in their band (while listening to ELP?!?!). Again, I kid. Night Ranger is a solid band. Nice to have them around.
Addendum: Yeah, I know, “Sister Christian” ... but had that not been immortalized in “Boogie Nights”, we would only be taking that song half as seriously, and equally so, the ultimate mediocre brain rester, “(You Can Still) Rock In America”, or whatever the h*ll it’s called ...
And get a load of that sleazed out (and I mean that in a good way) guitarist who looks like he escaped from Faster Pussycat or L.A. Guns or some sh*t! ... Who the h*ll is that?
Head scratcher though it may be, he seems like the shot in the arm they needed!
p.s. Thanks again, HIM, for the kind words ... I got so inundated with work (in a good way), I wasn’t sure I would ever be able to help (hopefully) Bring Back Glam again!
But to me, the best Nightranger song is "Don't tell me you love me". I don't know why, but that solo for some reason is in my top 5 or so best solo's of the genre. It's just so melodic and smooth, and of course the whammy bar!
This band is severely underrated ... they've been bringing it forever.
I also have a soft spot for Gillis and what he did on Speak of the Devil. He stepped into one odd situation and handled it like a pro!
