Winger - "Headed For A Heartbreak" - Arsenio Hall Show

[@Shaft-Industries]

No lip syncing or autotune crap here! Just pure polished talent.

[@HorrorKidd88]

there is a lot smack that could be said about Winger, but I must admit your comment is spot on. Gotta give the devil his due (cant believe I just said that about Winger)

[@Shaft-Industries]

@@HorrorKidd88 LMAO Don't forget the Kip Winger used to be Alice Cooper's bass player too. He's been around and surrounds himself with talent.

[@GeoffGillDrums]

Duuuude the vocal intonation / harmonies / FOH & monitor mix / rehearsal prep (?) & whole band just CRUSHING it to a live tv audience …just insane. WTF. no one does this in 2023.

[@TenFalconsMusic]

Kip's bass tone was on point. Probably one of the best "late nite talk show" mix in history. I P.S. This was before auto-tune, so you actually had to sing your nutz off to nail the landing.

[@JaySchraubMusic]

if I recall, Arsenio hired Stevie Wonders producers to do the sound for his show.

[@EricBlackmonGuitar]

This band is UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. One amazingly good live performance!

[@tintoweno]

Stunning live version! KIPs voice, wow. Great backing vocals. Reb's solo: what can I say!. This is a gem.

Kip Winger is one of the most talented musicians rock has ever seen. Juliard Grad, incredible singer & songwriter, the looks, the presence. Guy has it all.

[@Bridging_the_Political_Divide]

Songwriting and orchestration. He has a Master's in Music Composition and Orchestration from Juliard (only the best are accepted to Juliard). He composes classical scores as well. His classical scores have been played at Lincoln Center and various ballets nationally. He's written songs for other rock acts. If knowledge is power, and because of his classical background, he's got it in spades. Multi-talented musician. Oh..and he is a very solid bass player. Give the guy credit....

[@hushyermouthlady4933]

He also danced ballet, not even kidding.

[@ladyscholar3421]

@@Bridging_the_Political_Divide where did you get this info? Kip has done several interviews about his musical study. He has stated that he is a HS dropout and didn't start to study classical music until much later in life. He has studied classical with several greats in New Mexico and NY, and did audit some courses, but never officially attended school for it. He is more of a musical autodidact and not a graduate of any music program.

I was ten years old when Winger's self titled debut album came out and loved it big time. I got the cassette after Headed For A Heartbreak came out. It is still one of the greatest debut albums I have ever listened to. Winger never deserved the backlash they got in the early to mid 90's. Their album Pull should have been huge. It is a MASTERPIECE!

Winger is probably, maybe the most underrated Hair Band! Saw them twice in concert, in 89 opening up for Cinderella and the 2nd time, opening for Kiss in 1990... Both shows were flawless and never missed a beat.... Winger is a Supergroup with top notch musicians, I highly recommend seeing them this year as they are currently touring the USA this summer!!!

I respect Kip so much. He could have just coasted by on his looks but he is a real music nerd, always worked on his craft, he even learned how to become a composer.

[@christocr]

I remember somewhere along the line in the 90s, people started "dissing" winger kind of like they "dissed" The BeeGees back in the early eighties. In both cases, the bands were great musicians crafting great music (albeit different kinds of music). In both cases, the bands had the last laugh. The BeeGees went on to do tons of hit music behind the scenes for other artists and Winger is still around... and seems to be more appreciated now. This video is great evidence of just how good the band was. Makes most new music sound like nursery rhyme bullshit.

[@dlowe4481]

I don’t know if you can call the BeeGees musicians anymore then you’d call Britney Spears a musician but your point is definitely valid

[@DiegoNavaja]

Im reading blasphemy over here. BeeGees arent musicians? Wow, havent heard the vocal harmonies, the exceptional songwriting??? Go check out some Midnight Special videos of Bee Gees and tell me they werent masters of their craft

A lot of those hair bands were super talented. Winger, Ratt, Skid Row, Whitesnake, Warrant, White Lion, all top tier musicians and songwriters. A shame that people only remember the likes of Poison who were hacks and Motley Crue who were kind of mid.
