[@Wyckerman]

Kip Winger is a musical genius. I love seeing him and Reb working together.

[@denisehedden13]

Yes they work so hard to keep it real!

[@jaydenskeeper1]

Absolutely! It’s magic!

[@TheCyberianWonder]

They are pure comedy heaven together, too. All these guys are hilarious.

[@jubankta1627]

They’re both musical geniuses

[@sheabobiney8114]

I've been saying he's a Genius since they came out. Awesome, and a really nice guy to boot.

[@wendymorris4610]

A Winger fan from their start and a Winger fan till the day I die.

[@patrickroberts4265]

Hello How are you doing

[@whip689]

Just two grown up kids doing what they love. Rock on!😎🤘

[@Maxx61]

Kip reminds me of Dan Huff. Man, give those two a week and they'll create more riffs than most bands would in ten years.

[@Neilbear5820]

Unlike a lot of the 80s hair bands, their music still sounds fresh today.

[@Septicshites]

wingers fame was shortlived but imo their music aged the best out of any band

[@n8t285]

that's cause at heart they were more of a prog band in 80s window dressing rather than an 80s band trying to ride the trends.

[@kathyhatfield4208]

I am not even halfway through this video and I have to comment right now! What a fantastic documentary to watch. I loved every minute, hell, second of it! Reb seems to be a down to earth, funny, extremely talented person to work with. Good to know this as he is one of my top 4 guitarists ever. Kips excitement @ 12:30 shows Reb is capable of executing anything that is thrown at or asked of him...while he throws back some beers and keeps the mood light😂. I have been a fan since seeing Winger kick ass live with KISS and Slaughter in 1990 in Charleston, WV (actually since 1989 when they were on The Arsenio Hall Show. I recorded it on VHS lol). Kip is a mad scientist in the creative process and his music never ceases to amaze me as I dig deeper and deeper in. This kept me interested throughout and made me smile & laugh at times. Thanks

[@forvaughn]

WINGER: A great band who had their career ruined by a cartoon. I've loved these guys from the first album. i've seen them several times including just last year at a weekend 80's rock weekend festival. Easily the best band of the weekend. Very underrated band. If people would just give them a chance and an open-minded listen, they'd be blown away.

[@RandyWillcox]

The part of that I was most aggravated by was how backwards it was. The REAL joke in Beavis and Butthead was that Stuart was a smart kid who did well in school and liked the 80s metal band comprised of the most incredible group of gifted musicians while B & B were complete idiots who could barely survive a day and worshipped anything that was loud and heavy. But, the smart kids who do well in school are always the outcasts. That's who Rush's core audience was. The idea that people used the fact the bright kid liked Winger while the morons liked thrash metal and nothing else as an excuse to hate Winger says a lot about the masses. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@endlesstwisties]

@@RandyWillcox i was always thinking about that. No one said it before you i think but that was the real explanation

[@RockbertoRocks]

Quite the opposite for me... I was intrigued from B&B so I bought a CD and became an instant fan. Winger is a phenomenal musical genius and the music rips!

[@seanjohn1742]

Ruined by a cartoon and the sheep that followed what the cartoon said. Would rather listen to Winger than ACDC.

[@AUGUSTALLEN28]

I could care less what a cartoon has said or done. I still love this band.Period.

[@kevinnoonan9238]

A sheer pleasure to watch !! That's the way it should be when creating and recording music.

[@bacongood24]

All talented musicians, hands down. Haters can hate, but Winger comes out on top every time. This is definitely one of the best Winger albums in the collection. Will always be a Winger fan--a true artist, and it shows in the work.

[@SurviveTheDay]

Wow how they’re grown. Kip looks like a school teacher and Reb is one of his wise guy students. Also pretty cool to see the recording done in a home studio.

[@coreyyates3385]

Their new song Proud Desperado is incredible

[@rjh1469ii]

Winger HUGELY talented band and way under rated!

[@orfe]

The most underrated album in its genre. It's endless on richness and a true MASTERPIECE. I'll keep inspiring from "IV" another 20 years so...

[@davidsim4527]

Anyone who slagged them off (Metallica..cough) these guys could play rings around most bands

[@stephw1363]

David Sim yah what you said

[@gerardangelo4366]

Plus there is bass in these songs! LOL.

[@wyattmichael1541]

You only slag off bands you're jealous of. And they should be.

[@jimmyfreeman5714]

Damn straight.

[@Brian-nd1se]

@Andy Salter you need to google what Firehouse did in Asia lol. Poison is still selling out mega stadiums.

[@mhsandifer]

That wrong handed drummer dude is holding these guys back..😂 Met Rod in Orlando and he hung out for an hour after his clinic and talked with me and a few others. Great person and a drumming hero to me.

[@mikeschmelzer9733]

I love watching the faces Rod makes when he plays.... One of my top 5 drummers. The musicianship in this band is off the charts.

[@alemaolonghi]

On a Day Like Today always gives me chills ..... great song wow.... \,,/

[@paranormaldrummer69]

Kip is hands down one of the best musicians on this planet.. he is a straight beast. And w kip, reb and rod together, for get about it.. They as a band, crush alot of the bands out there today and they're in their 60s.. phenomenal musicians..

[@soverignhuman5862]

Standing ovation, John makes a great completion of a class act. Saw him in small clubs playing like he was in a arena . All top shelf. Bravo

[@rondellschuyler7074]

In defense of winger. Winger is true musician's. Kip is a perfectionist. Note for note. I love it. Just from what i have heard here, This new winger album should be a really good album. If I had a successful band, I would want kip winger to produce and Reb Beach to session work for us. Kip Winger and Reb Beach just drip and oose with talent. Music needs that so much today. To make it interesting again.

[@michaeldelaney2842]

Ok

[@paulfrankcom8953]

What a pleasure to watch the guys in the studio ...love them

[@LivingInTheKaliYogurt]

This was actually very enjoyable to watch.

[@thetemplar8695]

A doc like this really helps those of us listeners better understand the musical genius and hella hard work put into these albums. I wasn’t a huge fan of IV when it came out but in being a fan since their first album and second killer albums, you really have to stop and listen to the differing “parts” of each song. They are honestly just as much pieces of art as any painting considered a “masterpiece”. Well done gents, on all fronts! Amazing work and we all owe you a debt of gratitude for giving us these pieces of yourself! 🤘 Thank you! 🙏

[@shon9474]

Reb is the GOAT! Everybody in any band is replaceable. There is nobody that could replace Reb in Winger.. Nobody!!! They were a super group before that term was ever used in the industry! Id say that they were the first & they are still going strong! As session musicians.. Kip & Reb went from hating each other to getting along & eventually starting writing together.. at the suggestion of Beau Hill.. the rest is history! Thank you Beau! Winger is a force to be reckoned with!

[@stevengoodman3498]

I'm hearing a little Kings X Ty Tabor type riffs from Reb on a few songs. He can truly make the guitar lead "sing" during a solo. Kip singing great and playing wicked bass. What a pleasure to watch and hear these musical geniuses in action! Always been a fan since the beginning, do a KZbin search for Winger-Live in Tokyo 1991 to see an awesome concert of them at the top of their game. Reb is so young and talented as were they all. Thanks Winger for all the great music, and for more possibly? Rock on guys! Thank you for posting as well.

[@Djfmdotcom]

God this looks like so much fun. Reb's riffs just flow like butter...

[@truthinaudio5917]

I always felt that Winger just got caught up what the record companies were looking for at the time. Their individual talent and talent as a band went so far beyond what their image implied. Even today, Kip Winger is one of the best rock singers I have ever heard. Able to hit those high notes effortlessly, he has incredible vocal control. Probably sings at 80% while projecting at 120%. Looking forward to seeing them live finally for the first time in Las Vegas, 11/23/2018

[@vn00530]

Great post. Thats right! Kip is one of the greats.

[@tarheelron6891]

2 creative geniuses. Can't wait to see the final results. Kip and Reb are at it again.. the way Kip vocalizes it and Reb automatically goes to the correct chord and or progression is astonishing! True craftsman of their field!

[@kp7castin150]

Something you can never take from someone is their talent you have or you don’t just that simple

[@axlh.1827]

Real musicians who know their shit. Always respected winger & loved their music

[@bassist718]

I would’ve paid to watch this again and again! Musical brothers!

[@nosesanmiguel8016]

27:19 Yeah "Reb was right". This guys .. awesome friendship where everyone can be (very politely) sincere. Thanks fof this kind of stuff. I'm not an english native speaker at all, and there some moments where I needed "CC"sometimes, but it's okay. Enyoying what I've seen and what I've understood

[@d-dub8890]

Love watching Reb in his element!!! Raw talent!!!

[@orlandorodriguez8422]

Guys you are amazing

[@allisonvonbuelow1338]

Beautiful guys. Really gorgeous music. Leaving behind a legacy for generations to come.

[@felixcordova6310]

For those of you out there that appriciate music , my oh my WINGER is truly a very underrated band , WINGER spells AWESOMENESS. Put on some earbuds , headphones ...well just sit back and listen .

[@smurfiennes]

A huge fan right from the start 😍 30 years on and still going strong

[@jonnyquest8774]

That solo at 5:30 was awesome!

[@chrisf6216]

Absolutely! Cheers!

[@bernardoiglesias7067]

the best album of winger.

[@richardchristensen1768]

Winger is the kind of band that plays in my music queue because I truly love listening to their music unlike so many other people that I feel like the only possible reason they claim to love a certain band or music is because they feel that if they affiliate with it will define an image about themselves & make them seem cool Just an/my opinion though These guys ROCK!

[@ubeBrettu]

Rob is a very underrated guitar player....Man can he play..

[@rachelbyington463]

The more I listen to this album, the better it gets. That goes for all of their albums. Kip is a musical genius as is every other member of this incredible band.

[@thestuwrightwright]

Unbelievable, riveting, awe inspiring, humbling, hilarious, edifying. Life just makes more sense after watching something like this. Thanks guys.

[@karlbaird3385]

Amazing song writers!!! They always had catchy hooks!

[@JaneReitz]

Simply amazing!! Shows what true talent this band has ALWAYS had!! It was fascinating to watch the creative process. I have such respect for Kip and this band!! And they continue to amaze with their latest Seven in 2024!! MUCH deserved kudos!

[@christopherrusso9523]

What great talent. This band has been underrated far too long. The ballad at the end was beautiful.

[@mattmacarthur520]

Man Reb is just unreal what a prayer . Everybody knows he’s an Incredible lead player and his 2 handed legato tapping technique is the slickest smoothest shredding my ears have ever heard but what really Impresses me is how tight his rhythms are . His picking hand barely moves just perfect technique nice and tight

[@corysmithvernon1702]

Legends. Winger

[@drinkspecials]

This video made me buy the album

[@tbd-1]

It's the torn up seat on Reb's chair (18:26) that brings this home.

[@tubo777]

Reb: absolute master of his craft

[@tammygilmer1228]

Love it when Reb is singing about the dog and Kip is singing, in the background, what oddly sounds like "The Beer Barrel Polka"...omg lol

[@buddywilliams5650]

I wish Winger could have done this on the first two albums. In 1988,1990. Showed the recording process on Winger 1988,In The Heart Of the Young 1990.

[@Fretboard_Frenzy]

Let's not forget the cool contributions of very talented guitarist/keyboard player and composer Cenk Eroğlu for Winter IV album.

[@AUGUSTALLEN28]

Kip Winger as a singer, is so underrated. And the fact that he kept his voice and can still hit those notes, is amazing.

[@waaboozbudakai3487]

New winger fan today.

[@stephw1363]

Who was the one knob to thumbs down this awesome vid? Love seein the talent come together especially how reb and kip just naturally bring out the best in each other and i can watch my favorite songs emerge

[@drinkspecials]

Hater who doesn't want to do the work(practice) to be something special. Reb has done them work. And is INSPIRATIONAL

[@shanemartin8904]

me fo idiot

[@troystelly9831]

It was Lars

[@michellebailey6183]

The guys that make up the band Winger have some of the best musical talents. Kip knows what he wants and knows how to achieve the sound he is after. Kip and Reb create the best music together, I love this band. Amazingly talented guys

[@wesworach7441]

That's why I've been Winger fan since mid 1980 - ties ! Phenomenal Rockers !!!

[@daniesahshele3179]

Kip n the band came in to Browns cafeteria in Arkansas back in 1992 and sat at my table and had a nice dinner and talked to me for about 40 minutes i was a heavy haul truck driver that didn't look nothing like a truck driver. They were on their way to Dallas Tx to do a concert . after the dinner i escorted them very Quickly to dallas where we parted ways. My big rig was very fast. Lol.. They were the greatest bunch of guys. They never spoke in negatives and complemented me on my new Big Rig. Hope they have continued success. My name is Sammy. Tell them all hi..

[@jubankta1627]

Reb is badass the whole band is showing their musicianship in a fierce way so much talentvinbthis band its great to see them still together as a family the way it should be

[@72ocutter]

I haven't listened to Winger in years! Thanks for posting this and rekindling my appreciation for these guys. Miss Reb and his talent! He should be in the G3 tour with Vai

[@amac8237]

Ya know for the monumental amount of shit these guys took from 91-00, they really handled it like mature professionals. I was about 10 when they were getting the first dose of hate from Beavis and Butthead and remember thinking it was cool into my teenage years. Then when I was 19 the guy in my band was playing the opening riff to 17 at practice one day. I gave them a chance and never looked back. Couldn’t believe I had missed out on such talent because of trends. Reb can play circles around most any so called “ shredder” and kip understands and emulates exactly what a front man should be. It’s unfortunate that winger and white lion ( another ridiculously talented band) seemed to get all the dirt thrown at them, as well as getting immediately kicked to the curb, when the big shift took place with shitty grunge rock.

[@davidfroman8281]

What a phenomenal band being driven by Rod Morgenstein! So much talent here.

[@stevegardiner8473]

Absolutely love this band. Saw them live in the early 90's, they were outstanding. Deserved more success. One of the thinking man's (or woman's 😁) rock bands. They always created genuine music, from the heart, not for commercial reasons or radio play.

[@drinkspecials]

Truly is a group of super musicians

[@e.g.systems6146]

25:40 Laughed my ass off. Wasn't ready for that comment (perfectly reasonable thougth it was) and I see Kip wasn't eitther :O) I love to "watch the process" (no, not that, the recording process) of a band making it happen in the studio. It's a joy.

[@deenegron6328]

outstanding on multiple levels

[@odrasarahernandez1670]

God bless you!!

[@patrickroberts4265]

Hello

[@ecstasteve]

fckn killer. a joy to watch hear & experience the process. mad respect to this under appreciated band of monsters.

[@fender68able]

Love winger. And Reb sure does love chuggin' beers!!LOL

[@maverickgood5204]

That's some excellent music making!

[@slainteron4027]

This was really good. Back in the day I never gave Kip the respect he deserved until I started delving into more music theory. The guy is REAL GOOD

[@venusdistorted5170]

I agree 100%. I never knew how talented they are until I started learning. Bass is my fav and some of Kip's bass lines are just awesome. He understands how less is more on some of his bass lines but can get very intricate when the music calls for it. That's not and easy thing to do or even understand. They are definitely one of my favs. Kip also composes and arranges orchestral music and his work is on an entire different level and continues to show his talent. :-}

[@PowerslaveWarrior]

These are HIGHLY intelligent guys, and Kip is a true artist in every sense of the term. MANY great musicians and singers from that era, but only a handful of true artists. Jani Lane, Tom Keifer, Kip...not too may more besides these 3.

[@chrisf6216]

This is incredible. That John Roth can play guitar, wow 5:03 ! Of course Reb is "the man", too. What is spoiling to this fan is how they both have different styles that are amazing - a twofer lol Thank you so much for sharing - cheers!

[@bradchatterton2576]

...and much beer was consumed. Love it!

[@bonihthaean2317]

Thx for sharing this.. This is my favourite winger album..

[@danielluna1818]

The creative process is always amazing to see . Just a couple of dudes drinking coors lights laying down tracks and making it look easy . Trust me , it ain’t easy . Kip hearing the riff parts , and piecing it together and arranging it to make a composition is glorious 🤘

[@ZFlyingVLover]

ha ha rod morgenstein must be a part time photographer because everything he said about posing was dead on. BTW> Y'all should check out rods work with DIxie dregs. It makes his drumming on Winger sound like he's missing a leg and arm

[@darkstar4494]

Thanks for posting. i would never have had an opportunity to see this otherwise. winger has been one of my favorite rock bands since the beginning when i was a kid.

[@mooseknuckle9662]

Saw them live back in their heyday. They were damn good and I realized that Kip Winger was way more than a hairy chest.

[@julioocasioalbino551]

Awesome band

[@ZeNrG1]

Truly a pair of larakin musical geniuses!!! Thanx guys!!!

[@Red88Rex]

OMG Reb and Kip...two of my favorite people ever! So cool!

[@kevinsturges6957]

Great chord changes and harmonies in these songs!

[@tribunation]

Writing music and having fun doing it! The way it should be. Great doc.

[@seviregis7441]

So awesome for such great musical artists to share this level of symbiosis when composing and writing. Brilliant, Reb is like a guitar machine, infinite repertoire of riffs, chord patterns, and rhythms...and Kip is a great lyrical, harmonious, and rhythmic bassist besides having one of the absolute best rock voices ever. These guys have vintaged to the finest of wines... oooooh at 22:00 heading into some ethereal, lofty territory..... ooooh again at 28:20... so very nice... I love this documentary, all content, musical genesis in action, no filler or fluff. Love the acoustic end too.

[@denisehedden13]

🥀It's always important to connect with the ones you work with in music! Alot of ppl thinks it's so easy to arrange a song but it's harder than it look...You Guy's are very talented and crazy and that's a good thing🥀🤘

[@jeffs4760]

The best part of this video is at 20:18! Haha no seriously. Thanks for sharing. It's great to see the boys have fun and enjoy themselves and stay friends! I've listened to Winger since the first album. They Rock!

[@realpearly]

Fantastic musicians and fantastic men is a fantastic band. I love it!🤘😘

[@shawnwhalen1007]

I could watch this stuff, all day! Creative geniuses, really... and they are seriously having fun. I think it's time for a new album? Don't ever stop being creative, thanks for turning out great tunes.

[@Stauros1975]

simply..... the best!

[@ElenaM.6.11.60]

Awesome, I LOVE watching you guys create music. Reminds me of all the long sessions my late guitarist and I spent creating our music, a lot of pentatonic chords and riffs too. I really miss him and wish we were still at it. Thanks for making this video!!

[@sonicfuker]

Very cool, I didn't know this existed. Good album.

[@rustyf5131]

Wow! What a great journey through the creative process by two amazing musicians. Kip has always been my go to for inspiration, no matter my mood, whether wispful or head bangin' kicking ass! Even after almost 30 years, a seemly endless craving to make musical magic. Such an underrated genius with a voice that can deeply touch or fire up your soul at any given moment. Reb never ceases to amaze. Thanks Frederico for making my night!

[@mercedeslobo8205]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@georgerise859]

Always awesome and unique !!! KIP ROCKING !!!

[@Liveeruptsuj]

great documentary, lots of great camaraderie and passion for making music. Now I'm going to get the album, this made me want to hear the whole thing.

[@carlkrebs1]

Kip and reb , you two birds are the same boneheads as you were in the 80's . Keep it up , many of us will still buy your records !

[@jorgepaul5049]

The fifth Swedish member lasted like a blink of an eye..😢😲

[@noelsampson4195]

Refreshing to hear new music after covid, Thank yall 🤘🏻🤓🤘🏻
