Something like this;

Blob despises it = wolfking quite enjoys it
Blob thinks it 'meh' = wolfking likes it quite a lot
Blob doesn't mind it = wolfking fucking loves it
Blob likes it = wolfking's mind is blown

So basically I can summarize it as - wolfking is musically easy.

Which makes you pretty damned hard, if not impossible

Magnum used to love them in the 1980's, haven't/won't buy anything from them anymore, their best days are long gone.
But that riff, basic blues/boogie. Bob's voice sounds trally gruff, but perhaps on purpose?

Uh, oh...new Winger...if it turns out as good as Karma (the first two songs alone destroy), we'll have another winner.

Yeah, I'm actually a little worried from that Magnum clip.

I came across this little gem that I had and forgot about for years. I just uploaded it on my I-Pod. A one off album from ex Megadeath guitarist Chris Poland. The band is Damn The Machine. Here is the full album Youtube link.

I just had a listen to the first song, and it's not bad at all. Love Poland.

I prefer the term "musical prude".

Finally someone else who appreciates the awesomeness of those first two tracks.

wolfking · « **Reply #1652 on:** February 13, 2014, 08:55:32 PM »

I do enjoy the first two songs, but from a band like Winger, they can do a lot more.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1653 on:** February 13, 2014, 08:57:32 PM »

I'd easily put the first track as one of their top 3 or 5 songs. I don't care much for most of what they've done after the first album.

Delirious Nomad · « **Reply #1654 on:** February 13, 2014, 10:50:39 PM »

Ouch. That hurts. Rainbow In The Rose was a milestone for me and 4 or 5 tracks from the awesome Pull album (e.g Blind Revolution Mad, Like A Ritual, Spell I'm Under...) made me go berserk.

Put 100 people who still give a shit about Winger in a room and I reckon 80-85 would name Pull as their favourite Winger album. So don't mind Blob - he's just ah.............Blob

That would explain why your ears hear music so incorrectly now.

Haha - walked into that one

wolfking · « **Reply #1660 on:** February 14, 2014, 04:20:28 AM »

Pull is indeed the best Winger album.

wolfking · « **Reply #1661 on:** February 14, 2014, 04:31:27 AM »

The Magnum may be better than that sample gives off;

New House of Lords - Into Battle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMH8Woy4AqI&feature=youtu.be

I'm actually surprised how much I like it - I say that because it's just more of the same in terms of sound/structure. It seems we'll never see a repeat (from almost anyone in the melodic rock space) of the creative songwriting on albums like Demons Down , but for what it is I think it's pretty catchy.

I really love IV.

bl5150 · « **Reply #1664 on:** February 14, 2014, 06:22:58 PM »

I listened to IV the other day and loved Four Leaf Clover, Your Great Escape and (less so) Short Flight To Mexico but the rest was a bit meh! Worth having for those tracks though for sure.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1665 on:** February 14, 2014, 06:33:37 PM »

I saw them at an old club in Boston called The Channel. (TAC will know this old place) It was the first album and they killed.

bl5150 · « **Reply #1666 on:** February 14, 2014, 06:37:41 PM »

I can imagine ....................despite their public image they really are/were a cut above their peers as musicians. Even today Kip puts on a great acoustic solo show. I didn't bother to go and see them when they toured Australia a few years back and I'm pretty pissed at myself that I didn't make the effort.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1667 on:** February 14, 2014, 06:42:17 PM »

They came out at a time when people were looking for an alternative to Hair metal. Winger were a huge cut above all hair bands (even though I like hair bands) but that Grunge explosion killed any momentum they had.

bl5150 · « **Reply #1668 on:** February 14, 2014, 06:45:29 PM »

yep - although the scene was starting to get clogged with wannabes just before grunge hit there are so many lost/forgotten gems from old and new bands that came out around 1991-1992 just as the whole thing imploded . So many of my favourite albums are from those few years. The songwriting, production, everything is so much better than the vast majority of what gets released now.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1669 on:** February 14, 2014, 06:47:45 PM »

I just played an album that most wouldn't listen to here but I love The Outfield and my favorite album is Bangin'.

gazinwales · « **Reply #1671 on:** February 14, 2014, 07:07:00 PM »

Though I do like Pull, it's the only Winger CD in my collection.
I much prefer the Kip Winger solo stuff, far better in every aspect.

The Outfield put out some good rock back in the 80s. Nothing but love here!

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1673 on:** February 14, 2014, 09:09:36 PM »

Sweet! I love that tinny Fender Tele sound and their harmonies.

I followed up Bangin' with Stone Fury's Burn Like A Star. Great album. TAC approved!

I posted the Stone Fury in the album thread earlier today - two mentions in a day for an album I've rarely seen mentioned. Very Zeppy vocals (as usual from Lenny) over melodic rock and good album - better than most of what he did with Kingdom Come. Can't say I've heard much from The Outfield that did anything for me.

I agree to some extent. This certainly keeps me interested for the whole album, that's for sure.

I missed that post. How weird that I played it yesterday!

I only had the first Kingdom Come album and saw them on the Monsters Of Rock tour (Another TAC approved show). I really Dug Lenny's voice.

Did you know the guitarist from Stone Fury went on to play with Billy Sherwood of Yes fame in a band called World Trade? I love the 2 disks I have of them.

bl5150 · « **Reply #1677 on:** February 15, 2014, 04:04:56 AM »

I'm a huge fan of Bruce Gowdy - he's been everywhere man , including stints with The Doobie Bros , Bobby Kimball, Air Supply etc.... I know and own World Trade but in terms of his overall output he's more important to me as a key member of Unruly Child - one of my all time faves.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #1678 on:** February 15, 2014, 04:06:55 AM »

I saw him with the Dobbies live. I never heard Unruly Child so now you are making me spend money.

rickhawk80 · « **Reply #1679 on:** February 15, 2014, 06:22:01 AM »

Unruly Child is fantastic.

Love the "Worlds Collide" album. They're fronted by Marcie Free (formerly Mark Free of King Kobra).
