🎸GUITARIST OF THE WEEK: BRAD GILLIS🎸 This week, we’re all about Brad Gillis, the guitar wizard whose awesome playing shaped melodic hard rock and arena music through Night Ranger and more. Born on June 15, 1957, in Honolulu, Brad grew up in Alameda, California. He started in the ‘70s with Rubicon and then helped create Night Ranger, a band known for some seriously memorable riffs, epic solos, and anthemic hooks. In 1982, after Randy Rhoads’ tragic passing, Brad stepped in for Ozzy Osbourne on

Brad Gillis Reflects on Ozzy, Night Ranger, and Over Four Decades of Shredding—From ‘Speak of the Devil’ to Japan

“Let Me F#@king Hear Ya!” My old boss Ozzy, an absolute wordsmith! “Paranoid” was one of my all time favorite songs to play…& having Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Aldridge and Don Airey as a (lead) rhythm section was stellar! The energy was so over the top…. A life-changing experience. #ozzy #bradgillis #rudysarzo #tommyaldridge #donairey #paranoid #ozzyosbourne #blacksabbath #speakofthedevil #lifechangingexperience #HardRock #heavymetal | Brad Gillis
