BRAD GILLIS

Brad Gillis is a founding member of Night Ranger who started his recording career in 1976 with Jack Blades and the band Rubicon. Brad is one of the few guitar icons of our time that can undoubtedly be recognized by his aggressively unique Floyd Rose tremolo guitar sounds. In 1982 that skill was called on when Ozzy Osborne asked him to step in and fill Randy Rhodes shoes. Brad accepted the challenge and went on to tour with Ozzy for a year. He also recorded the Live 1982 platinum-selling album Speak Of The Devil with Ozzy.

Gilrock Ranch, Brad's first solo album, was released in 1992. It featured Carmine Appice and Kelly Keagy on drums, and Gregg Allman on vocals. Gilrock Ranch garnered national airplay and the Top 20 AOR hit "Honest To God" with Gregg on lead vocals. He’s most recent solo effort, Alligator, was release in Europe and Japan in 2001. Between projects Brad also contributed a smoldering solo to the song "Stars" by Ronnie James Dio's star-studded Hear N' Aid project, which raised money to fight starvation in Ethiopia.

As an avid vintage guitar enthusiast, Brad’s collection has risen to over 135 guitars and 40 amplifiers. That passion for his instruments and his masterful skill on them has been featured in many magazine and graced many covers throughout his career; including American magazines Guitar Player, Guitar World, Guitar For The Practicing Musician and Japanese magazines, Young Guitar (3 times) and Player Magazine (2 times).

His production house, Liquid Hot Music Production, has recorded 150+ tracks for sporting events on ESPN Sports Center, Monday Night Football, FOX Sports, Fuse TV, The X Games and The Tennis Channel and has had music featured in popular video games such as Electronic Arts' Tiger Woods PGA Golf Tour, along with several major movie soundtracks.
