Cinderella is dope

This is how I learned to play this song:
 

I remember watching that when it first came out and being blown away with how good it was

Today I learn that Kip Winger writes classical music. Not only that, but his music is performed by city symphonies.

Those guys in the Winger got a raw deal, thanks to Beavis and Butthead. I love Mike Judge but poor Winger. Not that their music was great, but there were no worse than other hair metal bands of that era.

Reb Beach was an absolute monster on guitar. And I think their drummer was pretty legit too.

I’m sure there’s no shortage of great players from music scenes like hair metal, bro country, and flavor of the month pop acts, etc. Sometimes you gotta pay the bills with the understanding that you might not achieve the respect or recognition you’re looking for if the music you make has an expiration date on popularity or relevance, which probably most music. That makes it even more incredible for the musicians who create stuff that stands the test of time.  We’ll see if Kip can compose as well as other rockers like Stewart Copeland and Jonny Greenwood.

Kip Winger is pretty legit, all kidding aside. Winger as a band, eh.

Dude, if you have ever listened to any of those guys speak. Lmao. Insane levels of dumb.

[tbone_ 14211]

I have not. But not at all surprising.

That tune and video is pretty much every hair metal cliche rolled up into one near perfect summation. It’s almost like if we just had that one song we wouldn’t have needed any of the rest of the genre’s music product at all.

His teeth were far too white.

Did anyone else listen to Roxx Gang back in the day? I felt like I was the only person who heard of them.

Never heard of them. Not a bad tune though.

Found this randomly.  Dan Rather interview w/ Brett Michaels of Poison.

I never got this...people who claim to hate being stereotyped or pigeonholed because they had a hit single. "But our band was so much more than the one song..."blah blah blah bullshit. Take the fame and riches from your one hit and be happy. One hit is more than 99.999+ % of aspiring musicians ever get.
And Warrant certainly had more than just one hit. So what if it was a campy, cheesy song that broke them? That dude got laid more because of that one song got than he ever did for anything else in his life.

 

From the same album. I think this is the direction they wanted to go but the record company insisted on Cherry Pie. Don't know if they got clearance from Harriet Beecher Stowe's estate though

'My Number' is a cover of the English band 'Girl' that featured LA Guns lead singer Phil Lewis and Phil Collen of Def Leppard of course.
