Winger!?

[MarshallMark]

We all know how Beavis & Butthead felt about Winger. Love or hate?!

 

[shooto]

I dig the band- all of them, top musicians and Kip can write a f**kin' hook...what's not to like?

 

[dptone5]

Neither love or hate. I liked their stuff a lot. Too bad they got marketed as a glam hair band, because the musicianship is off the chart and they could have had a longer run. Kip Winger is a great songwriter and has an excellent voice. Reb Beach can really play too.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Underrated as shit and Reb Beach was a wizard at guitar.

I saw Winger at a Show Kiss was headlining back in the early 90's, I was into guitar at the time and remember being blown away by Wingers sound and seeing Reb play.

 

[HOT TUBES 70]

Kick Ass Band as far as i'm concerned !!!
Not a weak link in the group ...


Reb should be put in jail for molesting a guitar like he does , have you seen this guy rip ??
Holy FAKKIN hell Batmen , intense !

 

[CaptainZero]

Awesome!

As much as I liked Bevis and Butthead, I think that show ruined Winger.

Saw them on the first headlining tour after Seventeen became a big hit on MTV in '88 (I think?!). It was them with Cinderella and BulletBoys opened. Was a kickass concert. To this day Seventeen is a guilty pleasure to listen too.

The other guitarist is no slouch either.... John Roth.

This was the song that got me into Winger.

The other guitarist is no slouch either.... John Roth.

John is a Memphis boy. Played with Black Oak Arkansas, Jimi Jamison, Giant back in the day. Also now plays with Starship.

 

[sidvicious]

i liked them but i hated the whammy bars those bands inspired!

 

[bman]

So agree with everone. They played at a small club in Greenwood Indiana in 1988. I stood about 10 feet in front of the stage and i was so blown away. Still one of the best sounding concerts for me to this day.

I have nothing but respect for the guys in Winger. Not a fan though. B & B didn't ruin Winger. Winger ruined Winger. All the hair fluff and spinning kicks became a not so funny joke by the time they came out. Bad marketing of really good musicians.

They must've been listening:

Matt supplied the Marshall cab's...

Looks like the same ol' gang!

Reb Beach is a guitar MONSTER. Check him out here in his Dokken days. I was at this show too.

I really enjoyed Reb's live playing with Winger, sounded great. In fact his tone was even better with Dokken live.

Back to subject. I like a few off of the first Winger album but I can't listen too long.

Reb's Live tone with Whitesnake live is pretty sweet ...
