First, let’s give Jeff Watson his flowers. He wasn’t just a guitarist; he was the guy who made Night Ranger’s twin-guitar attack legendary. Think of him as the Hans Solo to Brad Gillis’s Luke Skywalker—both essential, but with distinct styles that sparked musical fireworks.
His fingers danced up and down the fretboard like a squirrel on espresso. Tracks like “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” and “When You Close Your Eyes” are impossible to imagine without his flashy, neon-tinged solos.
