Thought these guys deserved a shout out, especially because of all the unwarranted hate they have had over the years. Really entertaining album and band.

Funny how last week, my cousin (he's 46) was asking me if I could find him this CD on the web... He loved this to death during his youth....

Oh yeah, pos'd

Thanks I appreciate that!
Ha nice timing. It's good to hear some still remember this record.
I know I won't forget it.
At the risk of sounding like a fanboy (I think it's too late to try to avoid that anyway :P) any fan of Winger is alright with me.

Good review, have to disagree that Winger is the best glam has to offer.
My favorite Winger is actually Pull, even if it was a pathetic attempt at changing with the times. Its a solid album.

"Reb Beach is a phenomenal guitarist (...) I honestly haven't heard anything else like it again."
Funny, considering almost every 80's glam rock guitarist sounds the same carbon copy of EVH. But to each his own, is what I always say.

Yea guys I know I said some strong words in the review haha.
Hey BigHans, what is your favorite glam act? I am interested to check it out. I can't claim to have heard lots and lots of the genre. My default is more modern metal, but Winger really clicked with me.
Hey danielcardoso. Who is your favorite 80s glam guitarist? EVH was certainly a huge influence for Reb Beach. And this may be partially because I don't just want my favorite to be the biggest name in the style (hipster tendencies :P), but I think Reb Beach edges EVH on melodic phrasing and definitely tapping ability.

Definitely EVH, though I'm not into glam rock at all. Not anymore, at least. Don't listen to much besides Van Halen and Def Leppard, occasionally. Some people seem to consider Guns N' Roses glam as well, I personally don't.

Yea gotcha. I looked at your profile. Looks like I'm going to have to check out some Uriah Heep.

If you dig 70's prog rock/hard rock you'll love it.
|

Reb beach is criminally underrated when talking great shredders in mainstream rock
Even today he is so skilled and original
Kip being such a pretty boy probably made a lot of male rock guys too insecure to venture into their work
|
| |
I used to love this but I am revisiting now and man those lyrics for "Can't get enough" are smth else lol
|
| |
"Rainbow in the Rose" is a crazy track though, they should have gone prog.
|
| |
Seriously they had the talent and the inclination. But I guess Kip gets his compositional kicks from writing shit for ballets and prefers just rocking out in Winger.
|
| |
For real man, shit like the opener on here and "Seventeen" are like... eeeeehhhh ok Kip, take a cold shower now brother.
|
| |
Ha! I guess that's what people wanted him to sing about in the '80s. I feel like it was more label pressure to conform to stereotypes than him wanting to sing vacuous stuff. He definitely seems like he takes pride in the music of the early Winger era but the lyrics were an afterthought.
|
| |
Miles Away is one for the times though, such a classic.
