I kid, I kid!
But isn't it strange that the moment that "Fitz" departs to go play keyboards behind stage for Van Halen concerts, Night Ranger's popularity takes a nosedive?
Coincidence? I think not!
And here's a bit of wild trivia that nobody gives a shit about: Jack Blades teamed up with former-Styx guitarist Tommy Shaw to form Damn Yankees, while former Night Ranger guitarist Jeff Watson now plays the role of Tommy Shaw during Dennis DeYoung solo tours.
To the twenty-eight people reading this that were already knew about that exciting Night Ranger trivia, I give you the press release announcing a new Night Ranger album, which again, points out that "Sister Christian" was used in the movie Boogie Nights even though that movie's been out for over 15 years now.
(New York, NY) -
As a celebration of the 30th anniversary of their debut album, Dawn Patrol, and hot on the heels of their 10th studio album, Somewhere In California, Night Ranger will release a very special newly-recorded live
"greatest hits" CD/DVD package: 24 Strings & A Drummer - Live & Acoustic is due out on October 22nd in North America via Frontiers Records.
The album and DVD were recorded live in an intimate, all-acoustic setting with a
select number of fans at TRI Studios in San Rafael, CA in May, 2012 and features
some of their greatest hits such as "(You Can Still) Rock In America" and
"Sister Christian" with refreshing new acoustic arrangements. The result is a
testament to Night Ranger's stellar live show and the strength of their
songwriting abilities.
Night
Ranger's profile has been
particularly high of late, with the band recently appearing on an episode of
ABC's Bachelor Pad during the final challenge and Night Ranger frontman
Jack Blades performing live during the Republican National Convention.
Night Ranger's legendary
hits "Sister Christian," "(You Can Still) Rock in America," and "Don't Tell Me
You Love Me" are songs that have each significantly impacted popular culture and
expanded their ever-growing fanbase since the band's inception thirty years ago.
Over the
years, the band's music has made notable contributions to and been featured in
many different areas of media and popular culture. Night Ranger's songs
can be heard in the Rock Band and Guitar Hero video games; Rock of Ages
hit Broadway musical and film; the Oscar-nominated film Boogie Nights;
FOX's hit TV Show American Dad; JBL's "Hear The Truth" campaign; and many
more! To date, Night Ranger has sold 17 million units worldwide and
boasts several platinum- and gold-certified albums. Night Ranger is Jack
Blades (bass guitar, vocals), Kelly Keagy (drums, vocals), Brad Gillis (lead
& rhythm guitars), Joel Hoekstra (lead & rhythm guitars) and Eric Levy
(keyboards).

You're absolutely right, this may have bought them s few more minutes of fame back in '92. No way it sells more than 10000 units, including digital downloads. I watched the vid for Sentimental Street a while back. Not bad.
