Saw these guys in concert back in 88, and Kip sounded exactly like he does on record...... it was live, but it was obvious the guy could sing. No tricks or gimmicks like today......
People make fun of these bands now, but let's think about this. They all played their own real instruments, there weren't many bass and drum machines and the singers could actually sing not needing heavy auto tuning. So they had bad hair and dressed terrible, who didn't in the 80's? Great song and hot video!!!
Saw them live back in the day. It was in Marquette, MI. They were playing with Slaughter & Kiss. Wow, that was a fun show. Kip Winger had one of the best live voices I've ever heard.
Top 20 tune and video of the era. Simple, straight-forward with a touch of mystery, musicianship and stage presence are classic. Quite a masterpiece of flowing rock music. Notice how every dramatic change melts with each other and seems like a well-loomed musical tapestry. Solid classic tune that never gets old. That's the true test. Winger scored with this one.
Managed to sneak backstage at a Winger concert my junior year in high school. I was 17 and when I met that "hot, too much of a man Kip". I said some pretty interesting things to him. He was a gentleman and thanked me for my complements. Oh, the things we do and say when we are young!
I've seen Winger way back in 1989 with Bulletboys and Badlands ( awesome band ) opening for CINDERELLA at the Shoreline ampitheatre in Mt view, Ca. ive never seen so many women like that before. lots of women everywhere
Nobody sounded like this band, the style, look and overall package was really different when they broke. Every member of this band had a resume a mile long before they formed up. Top notch musicians who could write catchy hooks at the same time. That is a rarity in this type of music.
I used to love this song when I was young then I heard my daughter play it in her fast car with her loud stereo and she was 17 and then I thought "OH HELL NO!!!!!!!" lol I do really love the song still though :)
So many bands were jealous of Winger, but they in their own right are über talented. They would knock Kip for his good looks and tried to smear the musicians' reputations as awesome performers by saying everything was taped, but it wasn't. Winger was a band full of talented men, just a shame they got caught up in the industry in the late 80's when grunge was on its way in.
Good Lord!!!!! Loved me some Winger! I remember ditching school with my little sister, running all over Chicago to find Kip, who was making a radio appearence and claiming it was my 17th birthday... Yeah, I was 15..... Ahhh, those were the days!!!!
Agreedon Winger and Dokken....Slaughter was pretty kick-ass too. Today's music, even the so-called metal doesn't have the killer guitar riffs that it used too, so sad :(
Sherie Marie. I was there too. lol. also saw that show in Knoxville. I've been to over 200 shows. I used to follow Metallica around before they were on MTV. seen them 14 times before 1991. and I've always said that Reb Beach was the best guitarist I've ever seen live. ( until Lindsey Buckingham in 2009 ). Reb blew me away. unbelievably underrated
80's bands are just the best rock music - I will listen forever.........like the KISS song God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you Put it in the soul of everyone
Now that's music. He plays really well. I blame producers/media for not letting today's musicians take their talent as far as they could without interference.
Winger is gonna play at Sweden Rock this year, can't wait to see them!! I think they deserve(d) more fame cuz they're in my top 5 favorite hair metal bands, the other 4 being Warrant, Ratt, Cinderella, White Lion among many others that i still like extremely much!
Look, back in the day I told everyone KC and the Sunshine band rocked and history proved me right. Now I'm telling you Winger rocks no matter what anyone says. Better musicians than the Grunge craze which killed Winger. Sometimes it takes time to get everyones opinions on target.
This video really irritates me. Not because the song is lame; it's not. What's really irritating is just how good Winger is as a band and how their management turned them into posers. As musicians, they're better than 99% of all rock/metal bands; their playing is technically way over the top (Reb Beach's playing is off the charts, he's one of the best rock/metal guitarists of the last 30 years, IMO), and they have that looseness that comes with playing together for a long time. They're so good that they could give most jazz bands a run for their money, yet the management instead had them get hair extensions, wear makeup & cheese it up. Consequently, they became the example of everything that was wrong with 1980's metal. I know, I know, sex sells, but it sucks to see a band that could have been so much more let down by the same people who are supposed to help them grow & guide their careers...
Winger is awesome! Unfortunately I was born in 1989, so I totally missed on the hair metal era...damn it. I hate today's music...hell I just hate the 21st century period. 80s metal will always be the best hands down!
Frank Di is right. They came in too late, just around when grunge was hitting the scene. Couple years sooner, they could have grabbed hold better, but they slipped away, thats too bad, they were good.
Winger rocks. The 80's had some of the best bands out there. There are some newer generation bands that rock, like Epica, LaCuna Coil etc... Different styles but they rock. It is not a matter that as fans of these 80's bands or the bands themselves are over the hill. We as fans, just have ears and can acknowledge real talent. PS: Metal chicks are hot!!!!!!!!!!!! So ladies keep rocking to Dokken.
These are the most hilarious comments Ive ever seen to a video, nice to see ppl being humorous, and having positive comments, so sick of all these lame ppl just sayin negative stuff on youtube. All music is good, I really miss all the hairmetal, u just dont see that talent anymore, rippin solos, dancin on stage, glitzy and glammy! There is a girl in here she looks a little over 17, Why is she always in the f-in dark? Put a light on daddys little girl or sumthing so Kip can see his groupie!
shes ''only'' 42 now
The solo is an absolute masterpiece.
Saw these guys in concert back in 88, and Kip sounded exactly like he does on record...... it was live, but it was obvious the guy could sing. No tricks or gimmicks like today......

One of the most underrated hard rock guitar riffs ever written...........
Saw them live back in the day. It was in Marquette, MI. They were playing with Slaughter & Kiss. Wow, that was a fun show. Kip Winger had one of the best live voices I've ever heard.
I'm 18 and I flipping luv this song!!! I so wish i grew up in the 80s, so bad!!!
If you are listening to this at an unnecessarily loud volume you are awesome.
Child of the 80's here. Had the jean jacket and long hair. Still have a jean jacket \m/
i love this kind of music! 80's FOREVER!!
I was 17 when this came out...I thought he wrote it for me. Didn't he??? lol

Only seventeen... love this song! It rocked back in the 80's and still jams today!

Reb Beach!! Dude can flat out play.
how were there so many good guitarists in the 80s?!!?
I've seen Winger way back in 1989 with Bulletboys and Badlands ( awesome band ) opening for CINDERELLA at the Shoreline ampitheatre in Mt view, Ca. ive never seen so many women like that before. lots of women everywhere

that riff is just sick...awesome musicianship.
I just bought a Winger T-shirt. We're going to make this band cool again. These guys are incredible musicians!
I used to love this song when I was young then I heard my daughter play it in her fast car with her loud stereo and she was 17 and then I thought "OH HELL NO!!!!!!!" lol I do really love the song still though :)
we need to start to build the new 80s era bands like winger need to come to rock our 21 century world !!!!
I LOVE 80s HAIR METAL
"She's a magic mountain!" Brilliant, this tune qualifies as a guilty pleasure. . .
80's Metal Bands are the best ever....
The vibe was so energetic and happy back then.
Loved it then and love it now!!!
This guy should be in a toothpaste commercial...
Wow! They all look like they're having such a good time.
80s music is still bad ass
Cracks me up that KW isn't even trying to look like he's playing over the backing track while the other guys are.

Good Lord!!!!! Loved me some Winger! I remember ditching school with my little sister, running all over Chicago to find Kip, who was making a radio appearence and claiming it was my 17th birthday... Yeah, I was 15..... Ahhh, those were the days!!!!
Love this track, brings back memories of actually having hair. ;)
Winger & Dokken had the best Guitar playing... it's not that we are getting older, it's just that, today's music... well, you know.
Agreedon Winger and Dokken....Slaughter was pretty kick-ass too. Today's music, even the so-called metal doesn't have the killer guitar riffs that it used too, so sad :(

Great song, great album, great group!
i was born in the 90's but i love the 80's this song kicks ass
is anyone really listening to all the off time drumming here? there is a LOT more to this song than people realize....
80's bands are just the best rock music - I will listen forever.........like the KISS song
God gave rock and roll to you,

Put it in the soul of everyone
I love this song I'm older than my hubby he used to love rap I changed that he is all about hair band and heavy metal

Reb is awesome. He did a guitar workshop in my town last October and... I ... missed it...
I miss the 80's
OMG - I was head over heels for Kip Winger back then...

That solo...
One of the most awesome songs of the 80s! Winger RULES!

Definite 80s we'll produced sound I forgot about.

Men were so hot back then ....

Rock was peaked out at that time, all everybody did was complain about it and now everyone wants it back!
Frank Di is right. They came in too late, just around when grunge was hitting the scene. Couple years sooner, they could have grabbed hold better, but they slipped away, thats too bad, they were good.
Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, proud to be a Winger.

Smoking guitar riff! Reb is the man! :-P
