Winger rocks

[jgcable]

I just wanted to mention that. Tons of great songs and extremely good playing and production value. They also put out a great product all throughout their career. Reb Beach absolutely kills on guitar. They got bashed alot when they were popular. I think it was unwarranted.

[HoWheels]

Well, you know how it goes ... if people hear someone say something enough times, then it becomes "true." And plenty of people watched Beavis and Butthead

I'm another one that liked Winger even though it was popular to bash them. "Time to Surrender" is my favorite song by them.

[Big D]

Reb rocks...but I enjoyed seeing him in Dokken a lot more than in Winger.

[RacerX]

OK, Stuart!

I was more into *Wes* Beech's work with the Plasmatics during that era...

[ChlorineRR4]

i also like winger

[VulfgangPfuck]

They lost me after the first album...when I was briefly into hair metal. Reb Beach was one of the better shredders back then IMO

[sambencuda]

I'll agree with that fact that Reb Beech shreds, but othre than that, I don't think the writing was all that good. THe only song I ever liked was Headin for a Heartbreak. Reb tears it up big time at the end of that song.

Same here. Erase The Slate was the best Dokken album ever!!!!

Good playing on those, I have a Kip Winger solo album that's quite enjoyable. Reb has always been a fantastic player. I saw a thing on vh-1 a few weeks back, something about Kip featuring his ballet experience in their videos later on (no kidding, spins and ... stuff...). As much discipline as that takes, that was kinda weird, and I don't think it helped their popularity.

All three albums were good, and I liked the songwriting too. I don't listen to the first two albums much anymore - last couple of times they were starting to sound dated. But the last album, Pull, still gets a spin from time to time.

Love Reb's playing. I've been picking up all sorts of stuff that he's played on. Both Dokken albums & DVD he did with them. And most recently, the Jeff Pilson War & Peace album from '00, Light At The End of the Tunnel.

LOL I saw Kip Winger on a solo acoustic tour a few years ago at a local club. I was dragged along by a few friends, I really didn't want to go, but he was actually pretty good. He did a couple Winger tunes, but he said he would no longer do "17" because that was too young for him now.

The "Pull" album is awesome, my fav. Incredible guitar tone. I liked the songwriting and playing on the first two albums, but I've never liked Beau Hill's producing. His stuff always sounded a little thin, no beefiness to his engineering.

[Endrik]

Beau doesn't really engineer afaik
