This is what rock and roll the way it's supposed to be. Awesome groove with Rod laying down a pocket they all jump into with ease.. Rich harmonies, straight up in-your-face power chords, plenty of modulations, great phrasing from Reb both during the solo and on the acoustic. And, of course, Kip's lungs. What a great tune... The story never dies ;)
Saw Kip Winger do an acoustic show last night at the Hard Rock Cafe in Indianapolis and got to meet him......he's such a great dude and will always be one of the greatest 80s Hard Rock/Metal Bands/Songwriters ever!!!! AND HOW IN THE HELL COULD YOU NOT LIKE THIS?! 21 PEOPLE HAVE MENTAL PROBLEMS
You are so right! And most aren't aware that the man had his full degree in music theory and was as adept at classical concerto as hard rock! That and he exemplified a true artist by taking the heart wrenching tragedy of the loss of his wife and still made awesome music!
EXCELLENCE! Reminds me of an old girlfriend too. I forgot about this tune. I wish people still called each other on the phone instead of being Facebook idiots. I'd call all the people this song reminds me of. I think I'll re-learn this one (Madalaine!!!)
Times were a changin'.Those that knew WINGER had something special just held the torch high and enjoyed some of the best music that came from the eighties! Cheers
Wow, Kip has a great voice... The man is very gifted, he wrights and composes all his music plus he plays the base and piano. Amazing! Then there is Reb how is the most awesome guitar player, he can really blow your mind... And to add to all that he has played for a but load of bands, the man is in high demand and highly underrated.
OMG.. I just remembered this video by seeing through the guitar and the hand plucking the strings... WINGER F"n ROCKS!!!! Listen to those rifts.... tell me where do here that anymore... brings back good memories... wish I could've played guitar as good then.. as I do now... damnit.....
kip wimger has a beautiful voice and the sexiest man you ever seen i just love winger great band from the 80s music back then was rock played thier hearts out all hair bands should make a comeback that kind of music will NEVER die
A truly great song. Most songwriters will never amount to this. I really hope this one has moved someone as it moved me those days. It never fades after hearing loads and loads of hard rock/hm bands
See when i watch this stuff i want a time machine. Cause i wanna be around these guys and Motley Crue, and Ratt. God i wanna go to the 80s and rock n roll with the best
First of all Winger is the best band out there, period, so I say this as an odd kind of compliment. Kip is the most metal ballet dancer ever........(crickets chirping)
That guitar intro is one of the coolest sounding riffs ever. It was one of the reasons I started playing and 1st thing I learned. Anytime I played it for someone they thought it sounded great. Even people brainwashed by Bevis and Butthead to think Winger sucked. Since this song is obscure most people don't recognize it. So they hear it without prejudice.
Very true! And they put out so many songs that should have gotten noticed more. Kip is a great songwriter. Harmonies, lyrics, message, groove. He just fucking gets it!
I remember how much my jaw dropped after seeing this guitar solo, and how easy it was for him to play. I was sold! ...Don't care how cute the singer was!
Friggin Awesome. Got to see Kip solo at a Bring back the hair concert with Firehouse and Warrant in Cape Coral FL. Great show. Winger was and is one of my favorite bands. If you are a musician you get just how special Kips writing is. If you are a fan, you realize that Winger just plain ROCKS! Hope to see Winger play out as a band again. Until then, I have all the previous albums on my iphone! Great upload! Thanks!!!
Quite possibly, my favorite of the early Winger songs. Yet another fun song, and this one hammers, on even a halfway decent audio system. Really rocks.........
This music does put me in a time machine! Winger is amazing, the riffs really get me pumped! You like Ratt, wait for their upcoming album man, should be great! Wish Winger could come out with another album!
I saw them in concert back in the early 90 `s in Virginia, they put on a pretty good show. i would agree a very underated band who deserves more. hats off to classic Winger
Cool song. My sisters name is Natalie. Back in the eighties when this song was out....we used to say it sounded like he was saying....NATALIE.....lol. How goofy were we back then. Glad we lived in the decade of the GREATEST ROCK.....
Winger seemed to get a bad rap because of the "pretty-boy" image, but there were few guys who could belt it out like Kip...the catch for me on this song (besides the amazing hook) was the acoustic riff...that was a work of genius...Guys, you will ALWAYS be kick-ass in my book!...and Reb, regards from Da 'Burgh!!
this singer missed his calling. Every video I have watched of theirs, the singer is just holding the guitar while he is spinning around like a Ballerina. I guess I never noticed that watching the videos in the 80's lol. I wonder if he can do the splits in those leather pants?
Check out Wingers new album KARMA fans its kicks ass, buy this album now. You'll be so totaly stoked you'll send me a thanks.. Kips new shit rocks or Ill buy ya beer.
all you gotta do is ignore the popular things and search for bands that u like far away from radio and charts... google youtube myspace internet radio.. there still are some good things..
@primusbs Hi, I have Winger's tab book, it is tuned down 1/2 step, the opening chord is G-C-Bb-C-G-C-that is the first measure. Bb-Am-F-G-C-Bb-C-the 2nd measure. If you would like the rest just PM me!!! Thanks, Brian
This is real metal. Love every bit of old metal than the shit today.
Wow! love Kip's opening scream on this song! he has an awesome voice! He is such a talented singer and composer, a great musician!
This is what rock and roll the way it's supposed to be.
Awesome groove with Rod laying down a pocket they all jump into with ease.. Rich harmonies, straight up in-your-face power chords, plenty of modulations, great phrasing from Reb both during the solo and on the acoustic. And, of course, Kip's lungs.
What a great tune...
The story never dies ;)
Such an underrated band. People can say what ever they want about Winger, but I thought they were great.
I don't know how these guys weren't huge. This is one of the greatest greatest hits albums ever made. Saw Kip years ago in Trenton, NJ solo,
Saw Kip Winger do an acoustic show last night at the Hard Rock Cafe in Indianapolis and got to meet him......he's such a great dude and will always be one of the greatest 80s Hard Rock/Metal Bands/Songwriters ever!!!! AND HOW IN THE HELL COULD YOU NOT LIKE THIS?! 21 PEOPLE HAVE MENTAL PROBLEMS

That and he exemplified a true artist by taking the heart wrenching tragedy of the loss of his wife and still made awesome music!
Reb never got the props he deserved
man, Kip had some killer stage moves
Embarrassing to admit.....but I named my daughter after this song.... : )
EXCELLENCE! Reminds me of an old girlfriend too. I forgot about this tune. I wish people still called each other on the phone instead of being Facebook idiots. I'd call all the people this song reminds me of. I think I'll re-learn this one (Madalaine!!!)

Saw them at the Sherwood in Indy.....long ago...they were damn good.
OMG.. I just remembered this video by seeing through the guitar and the hand plucking the strings... WINGER F"n ROCKS!!!! Listen to those rifts.... tell me where do here that anymore... brings back good memories... wish I could've played guitar as good then.. as I do now... damnit.....
Wow. I haven't heard this in like 10 years and I still know every damn word. Love this song.
My day consists of Winger and They Might be Giants. Underappreciated bands tend to be the most spectacular :)
kip wimger has a beautiful voice and the sexiest man you ever seen i just love winger great band from the 80s music back then was rock played thier hearts out all hair bands should make a comeback that kind of music will NEVER die
A truly great song. Most songwriters will never amount to this. I really hope this one has moved someone as it moved me those days. It never fades after hearing loads and loads of hard rock/hm bands
Had me from the first scream! No, wait... from the kickass guitar acoustic intro actually! Love how the song jumps quickly around, exciting stuff :)
Talented band, that still sound great today.
My favorite song from Winger!!
looking forward to seeing them next weekend
Reb inspired me to pick up the guitar. He is fantastic!
Kip Winger is an F'ing genius,but because he's from the "glam era" he'll never get the credibility that he deserves. :(
See when i watch this stuff i want a time machine. Cause i wanna be around these guys and Motley Crue, and Ratt. God i wanna go to the 80s and rock n roll with the best

@WildWeezle There's no telling how much tail all those pirouettes got him back in the day.
Very true! And they put out so many songs that should have gotten noticed more. Kip is a great songwriter. Harmonies, lyrics, message, groove. He just fucking gets it!
We need a radio station that plays eighties hairbands all the time i work it Love the 80's Madonna, Cindy Lyper,.Vixen ,etc.
I remember how much my jaw dropped after seeing this guitar solo, and how easy it was for him to play. I was sold! ...Don't care how cute the singer was!
WINGER !! AWESOME !! THANX ;) !!
Tasty riff!! Being a guitar player, I try to ignore Kip and listen to Reb... a little. Lol!!
Holy shit...that solo comes out of nowhere.....excellent
Friggin Awesome. Got to see Kip solo at a Bring back the hair concert with Firehouse and Warrant in Cape Coral FL. Great show. Winger was and is one of my favorite bands.

I love this song!!!!!! This is real music !!!
HOW IN THE WORLD DID IT COME TO THIS!!!
another rip song !!!!
Man that solo blew me away when i waz 16. Still does!
Quite possibly, my favorite of the early Winger songs. Yet another fun song, and this one hammers, on even a halfway decent audio system. Really rocks.........
Ah the '80's...............
This music does put me in a time machine! Winger is amazing, the riffs really get me pumped! You like Ratt, wait for their upcoming album man, should be great! Wish Winger could come out with another album!

great song!!! winger still rockin it out!!!
The other side of that comment is: without bands like this in the past, modern rock bands (and modern metal) wouldn't exist
Great band!!
This song didn't get the play it should have. Great song that got swept under the rug for the most part. Dirty shame!
i REALLY miss the 80's
i HAVE to learn kips moves...
ealry rock is the best! i'm only 14 but i think so..rock from the 80's is the best! 5*
"How in the hell did it come to this? Couldn't you see that you've gone too far?" How prophetic.
kip played bass for Alice Cooper for a bit, did you know that?
Cmon thumbs up for the 80's :D
Awesome guitar sound !
A great song by a great band! 'Nuff said.
Cool song. I don't care what anybody says.
rawrrrr...kip!!!
true!
awesome
Reb Beach was/is? a great guitarist. And music doesn't suck these days, they just don't play the good stuff on American radio.
Yeah, Reb is a total bad ass.
yeah, 80's music was great you could actually understand what what they were singing and that when they had real "GUITARISTS".
great musicians,nuff said
Bad ass song. Winger band is hard rock at its best.
the screamin solos !!! analog recording devices !!! \m/
Winger seemed to get a bad rap because of the "pretty-boy" image, but there were few guys who could belt it out like Kip...the catch for me on this song (besides the amazing hook) was the acoustic riff...that was a work of genius...Guys, you will ALWAYS be kick-ass in my book!...and Reb, regards from Da 'Burgh!!
Reb is the man.
music sucks so bad these days , i listen to Winger to cheer me up
this is love too tough to tame
Yummy and talented...
Thanks and praise to Kip and Winger for all the good times..cool looks, pretty girls and fast cars: something we call RnR \m/.......\m/.
Cheers,
this singer missed his calling. Every video I have watched of theirs, the singer is just holding the guitar while he is spinning around like a Ballerina. I guess I never noticed that watching the videos in the 80's lol. I wonder if he can do the splits in those leather pants?
holy smack this band kicks ass i wish they were big now
Glad U like it!
-Kip-
Kip Winger is a mix between Jim Morrison, Kurt Russell and Jon Bon Jovi, lol!
Winger is a very good band!
no 1335 on my favorite songs list from 1989
put this song up to any modern "rock" band and they would get there ass BEAT!!
One of the only three winger songs i like. The other two being Miles Away and higher and Higher
......reminds me of.....days gone by.
THE MAXIMUM !!!!...FOR ME!!!!!
great song....
Reb Beach reminds me of Any LaRocque. If the two were both in King Diamond they would be unstoppable.
@smalltownman73. True they had some good tunes. This song reminds me of my ex-wife and I girl I dated!
Check out Wingers new album KARMA fans its kicks ass, buy this album now. You'll be so totaly stoked you'll send me a thanks.. Kips new shit rocks or Ill buy ya beer.
At 1:31 if i'm the drummer you get a stick in the EYE for trying sing behind me like that!
yea were still around
yeah awsome!!!
all you gotta do is ignore the popular things and search for bands that u like far away from radio and charts... google youtube myspace internet radio.. there still are some good things..
@primusbs Hi, I have Winger's tab book, it is tuned down 1/2 step, the opening chord is G-C-Bb-C-G-C-that is the first measure. Bb-Am-F-G-C-Bb-C-the 2nd measure. If you would like the rest just PM me!!! Thanks, Brian
the only real question that needs asking.
did reb curl his hair then
or straighten it now
great fucking intro I top that with the intro for Hard luck woman
Winger Yes!!! Mr. Winger from Community - No!
when he gets that look over that guitar, no wonder I did bad things back then. Kip, it's your fault dude. LOL
Hehe my name is Madalaine
@preston6671: That's Rod Morgenstein of the Dreggs.
