Reb Beach is one of the best guitarist of all time. So underrated. Great songwriting Kip and just all around amazing they should be much bigger than they are... true musicians.
You know it's a great tune when you can do an acoustic version and it's every bit as good as the original. I agree with many of the comments, Winger was an under-rated band, and Kip an underrated songwriter.
what an amazing band. they deserve more credit than they received. I've been jammin winger since middle school and now I'm 41. great music never goes out of style.
Winger were as many agree Extremely Underrated. Years Later they still have the Talent. that many Bands can only Dream of and Fans. Thanks Guys for Showing the rest how it's done.
one of the best power ballads to come out of the '80's. now to hear them acoustically is like eating my favorite ice cream in the dead of summer...gloria!!!
Kip what a voice. Not an easy song to sing to begin with but stripped down like this is Beautiful. These guys should have continued to be huuuge. Reb is amazing. He is up there with the greats easily....wow...
What a sorry time now for music and creative genius..its all RUIN now! Much Love to the 80's 90's hair crews for inspiring rock and tearfull ballads you endure in our memories!!
Agreed brother. I’ve seen Kip twice & he’s absolutely fantastic. They fell into a weird category between hard rock/hair metal when grunge was emerging. Some bands didn’t stick - kind of like Firehouse who was also a fantastic band.
NO other genre-casted musician in history has ever composed their own concerto...Kip did. NO other musician has made music one one album where each song could be played on EVERY genre specific station (hard rock, classical, jazz, folk; even country) Again, the signature of an actual artist...
Check out Kip's solo albums. He's still pumping out great songs. The guy is a neverending hit songwriting machine. Too bad nobody important in the industry can see that. But maybe it's better that way.
Right! Kip has so many hidden gems that sadly aren’t recognized. But like you said, maybe it’s better that way. We know about them though! Great talent, Kip Winger❤️
Winger....severely underrated and underappreciated. I'd put Kip, Reb and Rod against any of the big boys in metal. Musically, technically, vocally...they remain elite.
Haha, good observation. This is the only time I've heard of a band tuning higher live than on the record. Usually, it's the other way around. It does give this version a distinct sound though. Very cool.
Estupendo grupo que bueno seguirlos oyendo en esta epoca tan obscura. La mañana llegó y yo estaba en camino Cuando tu me recordaste Que yo había olvidado demasiado pronto Fuiste tu la que me dejó ir estuviste acá cuando llegué Estarás aquí cuando me haya ido Asi que no estés esperando por mi amor Porque yo estaré esperando para seguir adelante
Winger would have done alot better if they came out in 1982 instead of 1988 or 1989. They are one of may favorites along with Def Leppard, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Boston , and Journey. Bob Seeger was right. "Today's music ain't got the same soul...."
sirThomas must be in his 40's, I 2nd that 'absolutley awesome'. These guys are true musicians. While I can appreciate Poison, Motley Crue, etc, can you see them sitting down to crank out something like this. Winger has chops to go around the table.
Another beautiful song from the time of GREAT music! How can people NOT realize the beauty of music back then? Let's all scream & yell, be pist off, offend people, rap, steal other people's music & lyrics(usually from the 80's!) cuz we're too UN-talented to write our own..use electronic robot fx cuz we CAN'T sing! hit a button 4 drums cuz we can't keep a beat, etc, etc. I appreciate SOME new music but most of it is just NOT music anymore! Get a clue people!
Woah, Reb is sporting a Warrior Soul shirt! Sweet!! Not the best Winger performance still good to listen to. I've seen them do much better but I think they over did it! If the drums weren't in it and the piano it be even better. Still love Winger to this day and I'm 42!
@thesaxrocks I didn't hear anything too painful. It should also be noted this is actually in a higher key than the studio version so cut him some slack.
this was better than i expected, being an acoustic rendition and all. but i still prefer an electric feel to the solo. so godamn deep. and kip.. man that guy can sing. the bands today suck. no power just a lotta ass-kissing.
They entered the scene at a VERY bad moment: the fall of the hair band metal. And the thing is that they could've done any kind of music great, but the music business didn't care.
Winger's done MUCH better than this- and let say me THIS: EVERYONE GETS A BAD DAY/PERFORMANCE. Winger, as much as I hate to say it, this would be yours. EVERYTHING ELSE I've heard from Winger is spot on!!!
as much as i love glam rock, and hated that nirvana's popularity collapsed the genre. kurt cobain had a really great voice look up a vocal track of a nirvana song. he might not have been a good guitarist but a comment like that is wrong.
Ryan Blank Kurt had a fine and unique voice but not like kip winger’s voice. He didn’t have the range or tone that kip had, especially live, cobain was always drugged out and super off key.
Love the song, think the band is uber-talented...but this song should NEVER be played acoustically! It is one song that needs to be played in its original state and crank it up loud, especially Reb's guitar solo & outro!!
Reb Beach is one of the best guitarist of all time. So underrated. Great songwriting Kip and just all around amazing they should be much bigger than they are... true musicians.
He's from my area I live in

KimboBlade yeah! I'm 41 myself
This has got to be one of the all time great hard rock ballads. So powerful. Sit back close your eyes, & enjoy. Long live Winger.
Winger were as many agree Extremely Underrated. Years Later they still have the Talent. that many Bands can only Dream of and Fans. Thanks Guys for Showing the rest how it's done.
This is great. Everybody in Winger were superb musicians, and, the vocal harmonies are amazing. They never got the credit they really deserved.
Kip is a great song writer song writer.
Kips voice! What musical talent!
one of the best power ballads to come out of the '80's. now to hear them acoustically is like eating my favorite ice cream in the dead of summer...gloria!!!
It's awesome! Winger can sing with his heart.
how good was this band, omg...even as acoustic they could deliver it with power and passion....
Saw these guys at Rocklahoma few years back. They stole the entire show, imo!
great talented musicians
Always a great band, thanks for posting this. I wish Winger many more years.
Kip what a voice. Not an easy song to sing to begin with but stripped down like this is Beautiful. These guys should have continued to be huuuge. Reb is amazing. He is up there with the greats easily....wow...
Just came cross this video I'm fan of Winger. 👍
This gives me chills AND goosebumps...what talent.
What a sorry time now for music and creative genius..its all RUIN now! Much Love to the 80's 90's hair crews for inspiring rock and tearfull ballads you endure in our memories!!
Winger never deserved the flak they got from the elitists in the rock and metal community. They could play circles around most of them.
I so agree.
Agreed brother. I’ve seen Kip twice & he’s absolutely fantastic. They fell into a weird category between hard rock/hair metal when grunge was emerging. Some bands didn’t stick - kind of like Firehouse who was also a fantastic band.
love those rythm sections w/ the piano and the steel guitar.
NO other genre-casted musician in history has ever composed their own concerto...Kip did. NO other musician has made music one one album where each song could be played on EVERY genre specific station (hard rock, classical, jazz, folk; even country)
Again, the signature of an actual artist...
daaaaaaaammmmm thats good version.
If someone with that level of talent performed on American Idol, there is no way the judges would bypass it unless they are deaf.
loved winger back in the old school along with all the rest of my good ole 80s hair band faves...LOL and that effing premier drum kit LOL classic
Kip has some serious pipes!
pure talent.sadly hard to find now...
A great band! great song writers and voices!
Check out Kip's solo albums. He's still pumping out great songs. The guy is a neverending hit songwriting machine. Too bad nobody important in the industry can see that. But maybe it's better that way.
Right! Kip has so many hidden gems that sadly aren’t recognized. But like you said, maybe it’s better that way. We know about them though! Great talent, Kip Winger❤️
Kip Winger is just amazing...
Winger....severely underrated and underappreciated. I'd put Kip, Reb and Rod against any of the big boys in metal. Musically, technically, vocally...they remain elite.
one of my favorite bands from the 80's
Amazing wow
yeah im 16, winger are one of the best in my opinoin, very melodic band i must say
Haha, good observation. This is the only time I've heard of a band tuning higher live than on the record. Usually, it's the other way around.
It does give this version a distinct sound though. Very cool.
Pure fucking talent....
Estupendo grupo que bueno seguirlos oyendo en esta epoca tan obscura.
La mañana llegó y yo estaba en camino
Cuando tu me recordaste
Que yo había olvidado demasiado pronto
Fuiste tu la que me dejó ir
estuviste acá cuando llegué
Estarás aquí cuando me haya ido
Asi que no estés esperando por mi amor
Porque yo estaré esperando para seguir adelante
SOOOO AWESOME THANK YOU KIP
rod drumming was awesomeeeee!!!
LOVE it! Thanks so much, AcousticHardRockMan!
Amazing performance.....Bravo!!!!
the solo is amazing
WINGER is THE BEST! Wish they visit the Philippines!
huy excelente sin palabras....esta es mi favorita de winger...
They are still awesome
incredibly amazing :) (LLLLL)
thankyou for this post and video.
Winger at MTV Unplugged??
WOW!
Any place to get the entire performance?
Like your video. I'm fan to like the song
True musical talent.

yeah, Kip Winger is sooooo dreamy slurp!
Jodi, my goodness he’s a dreamy man! I can’t stop looking and listening to him. ❤️❤️
sirThomas must be in his 40's, I 2nd that 'absolutley awesome'. These guys are true musicians. While I can appreciate Poison, Motley Crue, etc, can you see them sitting down to crank out something like this. Winger has chops to go around the table.

great talent
Honestly…. Your vocal range is extraordinary. I know that you know that. But jeez!!
could you tell more about that moment for them ?
Es un orgasmo esta cancion, tambnien es mi favorita
Woah, Reb is sporting a Warrior Soul shirt! Sweet!! Not the best Winger performance still good to listen to. I've seen them do much better but I think they over did it! If the drums weren't in it and the piano it be even better. Still love Winger to this day and I'm 42!
absolutely man...it's REALLY sad to know that :( they should be selling out stadiums!!
Perfectly said
@thesaxrocks I didn't hear anything too painful. It should also be noted this is actually in a higher key than the studio version so cut him some slack.
its too bad a cartoon cut short their success. This is one of the best bands that came from the hair band era.
For the love of mankind, please put the YEAR. This was 1991.
Bring out George Jones and Johnny Cash and the bar stools and the acoustic guitars because the folks song this band playing Fitz right in
damn
hell yeah
What kind of guitar is Reb playing?
@Jesse Williams just like the one your mom has
it is man, its just a heavier version, sing about the same stuff, look the same just a heavier sound,
hey is very clear...kip told one time if he doesnt dress that way they never can be success...but he is a musician not a poser boy.
Why the hell is this up a full step? Kip really must've felt greedy that night.
Dead on.
this was better than i expected, being an acoustic rendition and all. but i still prefer an electric feel to the solo. so godamn deep.
and kip.. man that guy can sing. the bands today suck. no power just a lotta ass-kissing.
They entered the scene at a VERY bad moment: the fall of the hair band metal. And the thing is that they could've done any kind of music great, but the music business didn't care.
guuuuauuuu!!
Winger,..they play a little progressive, that make they different to other glam..
Winger's done MUCH better than this- and let say me THIS: EVERYONE GETS A BAD DAY/PERFORMANCE. Winger, as much as I hate to say it, this would be yours. EVERYTHING ELSE I've heard from Winger is spot on!!!
I must not know winger very much because I thought this was great.. Better than a lot of bands I've heard.
as much as i love glam rock, and hated that nirvana's popularity collapsed the genre. kurt cobain had a really great voice look up a vocal track of a nirvana song. he might not have been a good guitarist but a comment like that is wrong.
Ryan Blank Kurt had a fine and unique voice but not like kip winger’s voice. He didn’t have the range or tone that kip had, especially live, cobain was always drugged out and super off key.
Ha,great comment man!LMFAO
Metallica sucks these daysLOL My point is its not as cool as the studio version...Reb is one of my fave guitarists
Love the song, think the band is uber-talented...but this song should NEVER be played acoustically! It is one song that needs to be played in its original state and crank it up loud, especially Reb's guitar solo & outro!!
Yeah I agree, it's a power ballad
me pica un huevo
because i think kurt cobain has a good voice? okay whatever you say
this is terrible..and im a winger fan.
How..? Honestly.
Whoa calm down. I always think that any song that is any good can be done well acoustically. This demonstration just proves that.
vinnie vincent wtf? are you out of your mind?
chaz newby i can see its acoustic you stupid fuck.
vinnie vincent I think they're playing a half step up or something..
2:25 reb hits a wrong chord, great performance otherwise..........
Thank you for this.
