Winger were a very talented
late 80's and early 90's Glam Metal band from New York, named after lead singer Kip Winger. They made it
big with their 1988 self-titled album, and "In the Heart of the Young" in 1990.
However 3 negative things happened that made them lose popularity in the 90's.
1. Grunge taking over the music industry.
2. Conflicts with the band
Metallica and their immature attitudes towards Winger.
3. Criticism on the show "Beavis and Butthead". The geeky
kid Stewart can be seen wearing Winger shirts, and thus the band was dubbed as uncool.
Rob: I used to like
Metallica, but then I discoved Winger and they have some really unique stuff.
Dan: Yeah I have a couple of that bands albums.
Screw Metallica. Winger is 100 times better.
