- If you're one of the people who misjudged the band Winger, and specifically frontman Kip Winger, back in the MTV days, you're not alone. But over time, many have come to realize it is one of the best rock bands out there, and has been for a long time. Music Host Cathy Rankin sits down for a backstage interview with Kip to discuss some of the band history, new music, passion projects and more. An insightful look into one of the most underrated but highly accomplished musicians and true composers in rock and roll.
Anybody who likes Winger over Metallica, I'm a HUGE fan of. I think Winger is severely underated and Metallica is overrated, so, Count Me In! Subscribed!!!
Yep, absolutely true. Like Bon Jovi and Richi Sambora. Richie - totally unerrated and Bon Jovi - insanely overrated. Hey Winger ! Keep on the good Rock !!!
I agree, one of the best sounding live bands that I've heard. Reb is a monster and Kip is incredibly talented
Kirk Hammet is the most overrated guitar players. I'd take Reb any day.
I saw them back in 06-07 at the HOB in Chicago, Enuff Znuff opened for them. Was a great show would love to see them live again.
Metallicrap....depressing and dense sound....no life in it. Winger has real musical movements and melodic melodies....
Kip's solo stuff is also amazing. The man is a monster composer.
You are right, his composing is amazing!
Kip has had some tragic events happen in his life, and my heart goes out to him. With that being said, I've always been a fan of Kip and Winger. True underrated musicians who blow more "popular" bands out of the water, at least in my eyes.
I agree!
Kip winger! You are one of the best vocalists in my book.
Kip winger is the coolest dude ever
Kip Winger...one of the best Musicans...World wide...love it!!!!
He's amazing in person, so underrated...
Winger is good. Beavis and Butthead killed him.
I remember that! Yeah, he wasn't given the credit he deserved
Winger > Metallica every single day.
:-)
God I hate that label "Hair metal"
Although I like the bare midriff 😝👍.
Great band, always were. Probably even better now. Keep it going guys. Rod is a beast, and I'm a guitar player!!
Great interview 👍👍
Yeah, the Winger-memembers seem to be real close to each other, like real freinds. I like that a lot. I beleive not many bands are like that. Def Leppard also seems to be a very cool bunch, all freinds 4 life. My two favorite Bands !
They really are, when I interviewed them backstage you could tell they get along great and maintain their friendships
Highly underrated band and Kip is a great musician and writer. Seems like a great guy.
I love winger having said that this lady is lovely
thank you :-)
She's a beauty for sure. And those abs! 😍
Rod amazing drum machine👍👍 one of the best drummer ever...By the way why not interview the entire band instead of just Kip. I get it he’s the front man but y’all should include Winger the band.
Amazing groove machine!
winger rocks, brilliant musicians
agreed! Very underrated...
Like your video on Winger. I'm a fan of theres.
Good interview , Cathy.
Ya ,theyve always been underrated.
And Reb is a world class guitar player. One of the very best of all rock history.
UP there with EVH. Some would say even better
UNDERRATED.
Good job Cathy. I agree, very under rated as a band that also sounds good live. Kip is multi-talented. Reb is also in Whitesnake.
Yes! Reb is a monster - love that guy, and Kip sounds absolutely incredible when you hear him live!
Metallica can even hold a candlestick next too Winger. Metallica is all about chug chug chug on the guitars and Wingers, Reb Beach is a Technical Monstah guitarist!!! The whole band is so incredibly talented.
🥀Amazing Interview with Kip Winger he's such an Awesome singer song writer talents beyond his own time. Thanks for posting this video it's priceless🥀☝️
Winger is the technologically better band kip is a composer there just more skilled in general that being said the 1st 4 Metallica albums blow anything winger ever did away after justice Metallica sorry to say simply sucks just big business like stones nothing more to them anymore
Fantastic interview, Cathy. Refreshing to see someone who's up on the knowledge and passionate about the genre that these guys have operated in so well for so long. Thanks for doing that!
Thank you so much for the kind words - I love learning from people and just appreciating their talent and personalities, and its always nice to hear that others enjoy what comes out of the interviews!
Agree with everything you said. And Cathy is pretty too
I agree, great interview. Winger is incredibly good. By far the best band back in that musical period. Far far above the level of what most considered talented at that time. Winger music has transcended time easily. The subject material is today, as poignant and present, as any rock music written in the last 50 years. The quality of the musicianship along with the songwriting, deserves only the highest accolades. The fact that the core members for the last 35 years have stayed connected says volumes of the what and why of great music and great musicians. “Can’t get enough. It’s never enough”.......
Adorable. Simply adorable. Oh, and I love Kip too!
Nice interview, hard to conduct with all the commotion I'm sure.
An oldie you might like is them early morning on a Canadian MTV style show called Much Music. A Vee-jay named Erica Ehm interviews them and they sound superb on the two tunes they do where they just "Wing" it lol, pun intended.
Basic Shure mic set-up, acoustic guitars and some dude bored out of his skull in the background and Reb and Kip kick azz ;-)
LOL - thank you - I'll have to go look for that, Kip and Reb are both incredible, and super nice guys in person
This comparison crap between Metallica and Winger is so absurd. The Winger guys are levels of talent above Metallica. Metallica began badmouthing Winger because they were totally intimidated and cowed by them. It's pathetic really.
Facts dude! Winger def over Metallica!
Wow, I really love your interviewing skills. You're respectful and done your homework. You keep the conversation going and leave no ackward lull. I like your wit too. You need some more exposure. I hope you get it because I think you got a great natural knack for this. Would love to see more. Subcribed
thanks Bob I really appreciate the kind words - I love what I do and always try to come prepared and keep it fun and honest. I love music and learning about people :-)
Yeah, more exposure!! 😁
Great interview and you touched on many of the things Kip (and the Winger band members) stand for, and that is choosing musicianship over money. After watching his documentaries on “the making of”.......which they didn’t try and profit off of, its evident why they write and record...... Well done and I encourage everyone reading this to look more into Kips writing, recording, and life long love of everything music. Blessings to all. 🙏🤘
Enjoyed the interview for sure but when she said she is old enough to talk about Winger's music I can't stop thinking about just how hot this old woman is. LOL
LOL
Amazing shape for her age Cathy is!
I knew Metallica since i was a kid growing in a different world than most people . Some ex comunist country. I always tought it was a very simple and boring music. Winger i listen for 7 years i think. I can't get enough , like they said :)
Most good things in this world are underrated. Is normal.
Just look left and right. I don't wanna be like most people. To do what they do. To listen their music.
To ignore or hate what's original and unique.
Wait… BLK is Scottsdale, youre a fellow AZ musician Cathy? What a trip! 🇺🇸❤️
Thank you for the interview, and for not saying "Amazing" lol.
(Overused word) when describing how good they are live.
Which they are. Kip's voice is still great after all these years.
Thanks again 😊
LOL - thank you - glad you enjoyed the interview, I'm not going to lie, sometimes I do say "amazing" but I try not to do it too much :-)
@@CathyRankinEntertainment They seem like down to earth and cool guys!
Keep up the good work and be safe during the craziness. A lot of people are not, thinking it's a government conspiracy, their rights are getting violated, etc. Have a great weekend! 😉👍💕
Well done, Cathy. It helps that you know, and love the music and artists you talk with.
That would be a tough interview with a hottie 😍
Ya if I was Kip my eyes would be all over 🤣🤣!
This brings back great memories of my start in the Military. I remember when thing weren't going so great and things got tough in the military, I could hum a Winger song along with a few others to put me in a better place. It would take my mind off of being cold or hot of just plain miserable. Thanks for the interview, you got me listening to Winger again. They sound so much better than other 80's bands and I think it is because they just love and enjoy playing.
Thank you for your service! I'm glad this got you listening to the music again, I saw them live after the interview and it was one of the best shows I've seen. They are highly underrated and you are right, they sound great because they do truly love what they do and they genuinely enjoy playing together. Kip is also a very disciplined musician who composes classical and other genres as well. Very dedicated to the craft.
I thank Metallica for Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and even a few tunes off the Black album. And maybe two songs off Load/Reload. But that was fkn ions ago, and they haven't sounded decent since.
Winger on the other hand has continuously progressed. They had interesting and original compositions since the start, and even though they had some huge, ballady choruses, they were simultaneously hard rocking and sort of progressive.
And she's right, they were technically better than most of their peers, at songwriting and musicianship.
I will always proudly wear my Winger shirt.
Yeah! Beavis and Butthead were the lame ones! Winger Rocks!
She has killer abs, respect 🔥
Love winger !!!
Saw them from the first album to pull at that time you could catch them in big bars !!!! I caught them around lake ontario, buffalo to rochester and festival gigs in ontario !!! Great band !!!!!🤘🤘
awesome! They STILL rock and are fantastic live!
@@CathyRankinEntertainment ya i love them a lil upset they are only coming through windsor ont., For me on a weekday is a 4 hr drive i should book a day off work and go ☑️☑️☑️☑️
This chick is fucking hot. But I love winger as a singer and writer
Great guitar player in Reb and Rod drummer off the charts back in the day..rest of it isn't that good..this lady just want to bang kip. Lucky dude
Agree about Reb and Rod, but Kip is highly underrated. He's an extremely talented writer and composer, not just in the rock genre, but has done amazing stuff in classical music. His voice was incredible live at the show after the interview, and he's a solid bass player, too, so I think the band overall is very talented. And no, I can assure you I didn't want to bang him, lol - my family was with me at the interview right off camera, and Kip was very gracious to my daughter.
THAT IS THE LEAD SINGER OF WINGER??? I don't recognize any thing about the dude talking in the interview............bizarre
Yep that's Kip. If you heard him live, you'd recognize him. He still sounds incredible on stage.
People get older dude...look in the mirror...
3:46 I can definitely tell that Winger is more than just a band, just go watch the documentaries of Winger making the albums - these guys enjoy being around each other.
Totally agree and they're all extremely talented.
Terrific interview. They are such a great bunch of guys.
thank you! They were super cool in person.
she's right I seen them kick ass!!!
I have to agree with her.
It was a terrific interview, Cathy! Hands down, Kip Winger is an awesome musician but not the best at giving interviews.
Kip is great at interviews, always articulate and funny. I think he was a bit shy with Cathy because of her good looks maybe?
thank you - I think Kip was distracted because there were a bunch of other people just off camera so it was hard for him to hear
Great interview!!
I first thought it said Brwingerview... but then I muted it and went to the bathroom. I did cover Kip with my thumb.
stop talking about Damien Gray. he got lyrics from me..
You are NUTS! Love Winger, but Metallica is just flat out better! Music is always debatable but we can agree that as long as its good ol guitar rock and heavy drums ITS ALL AWESOME
Can't Get Enough of you baby!!!
