WELCOME BACK
Winger
They’ve taken the knocks, and been knocked out, but they’ve bounced back and now have a new album.
DUFF: CHARLES PETERSON/PRESS; NIGHTWISH: TINA KORHONEN/PRESS
DESPITE SELLING MILLIONS of records during the 80s hair-metal era, Winger were ultimately derailed both by grunge and the mockery by MTV’s cartoon duo Beavis & Butt-head, and Metallica in their video for Nothing Else Matters. They reunited in 2001, and now in their thirty-fifth year continue to record and tour. We caught up with bassist/vocalist Kip Winger and guitarist Reb Beach (who also plays with Whitesnake) to talk about their latest studio album Seven, and more.
