I wish they would come to my hometown but my town never gets concerts anymore. We have tons of hotels and tons of restaurants but concerts never come here. Of course i dont know how many our civic center holds but wish some concerts would come here. Oh well i can hope.
Yes!!! We want to see the music!!! And MTV has COMPLETELY let us rockers down!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the access, Kip!!! Need to see you in person, SOON!!!
Hi Mike. Great interview. You hit Kip with some great questions. Ones that he has never been asked before. After 35 years of doing interviews. That’s says a lot. Thank you for doing these.
Nice interview! He is brilliant musician learned allot in this talk. He complimented you early excellent question and at the end same response. Thanks (:
That's the most winger has ever spoken on his recording. Impressive interview Winger fan since 1990. Named my middle son have a him!! Very proud of that! It was an argument with my husband but I won🇺🇸❤️🔥🔥💯
Kip Winger is definitely one of my favorite musicians, he's an excellent composer great singer, a wonderful musician and band leader; I mean he's kept the same crew together for over 30 years and that's no mean feat. But he is so well adjusted, so normal, he's kind of boring. I mean that in the best way it's just that he doesn't have the melodramatic ego that we see in people like Paul Stanley or Steven Tyler or Nikki six or some of these larger than life personalities that are borderline toxic. Kip is literally the kind of man a girl wants to bring home to her family because he's good looking he's smart he's talented he's well adjusted I mean geez, totally stable I mean I can't imagine the guy doing drugs or getting drunk. But it doesn't make for a very interesting interview. I love you Kip, you're amazing keep doing what you're doing, we need you.
There's nothing like owning a record, being able to touch it, put it into a device to listen to it. Check the art work, read the lyrics while listening. I am sorry for the people that never have experienced that.
Great interview Mike. Kip said several times, "I've never been asked that question" or "That's an excellent question", so you know it was a great interview and Kip recognized and appreciated it.
I've been a WINGER fan for 35 years, and will finally get to see KIP live for the FIRST TIME next week (in Bangor, ME. at a solo show). 15 when I got into the band... turning 50 this year. Hey-HEY! :)
The solo shows are a mix of great music and road stories and funny commentary. You're going to really have a good time and he usually hangs out a bit afterwards and meets fans. It's not a meet n greet just a cool short hang. 👊🤘
Excellent interview Mike, I like how Kip warmed up to you as he began to realize you were not going to ask him the same BS questions he gets hit with from a hundred other people.
Thanks for the kind words. I try my best to think of questions that aren’t “routine” while still helping promote the album and keep it interesting for myself and the people watching / listening. Glad you enjoyed it!
I just watched another interview and it was painful. It kind of made me wonder, what do you have to do to get these guys to come onto your channel because it seems as though they must be desperate. In fact, the other interview was done the same day.
You really got Kip at ease, telling stories and happily rambling like friends would do. I wish two things...one that more people would be interested in interviews like what you're doing here. It brings a depth to what we love which is music including the musicians, producers, instruments they play, etc. Two...I wish that the next gen would wake up and realize what they are missing out on such as excellent vocals like Michael Sweet, instrumental geniuses like Billy Sheehan, etc. I'd rather wear earplugs in my gym that hear most of the trash being played (club music music rap crap?).
Agree. I love the last one, 'What is success for you in 2023?'. Especially I love his answer: 'For me it is just successful songwriting'. God, yes. Same for me. Write a great song, good arrangement, something you can look back on and feel just good about.
Such a great interview and very informative. The new Winger album would right up there to be the best album of 2023. I got the cd 💿 so actually bought it. One band from Australia you should also check out Mike is Wicked Smile with their debut album "Wait For The Night " check out Daze of Delirium, Killer At Large, Love's Got A Hold On You, Don't Wait For Me and more 😊. All the best
I am looking forward to more from this album. I was not a huge Winger fan back in the 90s but this song, "It all comes back around" is probably the best thing I've heard in over 20 years. Its epic, I can't get enough of it. I can't remember the last time I got excited about a new song. I was hooked immediately, and have been sharing it with all my friends. Its great to see these guys come back together and really do such a great job. Its like all this has been bottled up for decades, and the baby was worth wait.
Kip is in my all time lineup. Drums- Tommy Aldrich (Ozzie, Whitesnake) Bass- Rudy Sarzo (Quite Riot, Whitesnake) Lead Guitar- Vito Bratta (White Lion) Rythm Guitar- Ronnie Le Tekro (TNT) Vocals- Kip Winger (winger) Rod Mogenstein and Reb Beach are honorable mentions. Great musicians.
"have you heard the whole album?". Awesome interview and thanks for knowing what you're talking about. How have you heard the whole album? How do you buy albums these days? Damn I miss the old BMG compact disc club and having my own physical media. Sorry for the rant but I've probably bought less than 20 CD's this century, unlike the hundreds of CD's I bought in the 80's (teenager) and 90's.
Music journalists usually get an advance copy ahead of time so they will be ready for the interview and help promote the new album. I usually order off of eBay and Amazon for CDs since there are no music stores near me anymore.
Excellent interview! I have been a huge massive fan of Wingers ever since their debut album came out in 1988 at ten years old. I was a teenager when the Metallica video and Beavis And Butthead basically hurt Wingers career temporarily, but I was still a huge massive fan. I got picked on in Highschool for being a fan, but it never bothered me. I just couldn't get into the Grunge scene. In my opinion Winger keeps getting better with every album that they have done. I love all their albums big time, but my favorites are Karma and Better Days Comin. I am really looking forward to Winger 7 big time. The two songs that have been released are phenomenal to me.
I, for one, love the first two releases so far. I actually mentioned how great I it is that “It all comes back around” is a seven and a half minute song like back in the day when bands wrote longer songs. I can’t wait to get this entire CD on May 5th!! Been a fan since day one and this band has ALWAYS been underrated! Any chance we’ll be able to get this album on vinyl? Now THAT, would be cool!
this album sounds awesome so far, Winger underappreciated. to his point about social media If musicians want to leverage my skills to combat insecure hacks let me know, I have a portfolio of blocks I can show from Sixx to Bach to Motley Crue...Wolfgang two times. In this world of social media, I am MIck Mars to the hacks Nikki Sixx.
Kip. it's AWESOME
Kip you’re a masterpiece musician
I'll be seeing them live tonight in the city. Great interview
Have a great time! Glad you enjoyed the interview!
I wish they would come to my hometown but my town never gets concerts anymore. We have tons of hotels and tons of restaurants but concerts never come here. Of course i dont know how many our civic center holds but wish some concerts would come here. Oh well i can hope.
I have listened to It all comes back around, great song
Yes!!! We want to see the music!!! And MTV has COMPLETELY let us rockers down!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the access, Kip!!! Need to see you in person, SOON!!!
All comes back around is so epic
Great interview! Kip is a triple threat! Good looking, talented and intelligent!😎🤘👊
Forever winger ❤
This guy is still good looking and sounds good.
How and or where does one see these videos?
Best album of 2023 winger seven ❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent interview. Winger plays every day for me. Seven is a another classic.

Hi Mike. Great interview. You hit Kip with some great questions. Ones that he has never been asked before. After 35 years of doing interviews. That’s says a lot. Thank you for doing these.
Excellent Interview...
Kip is such a great talented literate educated musician and such a humble human being
Kip is the rare triple threat. Beast of a songwriter. Amazing voice. Incredible musician.
And so good looking
Tears of blood is the one that is really blowing me away.
Nice interview! He is brilliant musician learned allot in this talk. He complimented you early excellent question and at the end same response. Thanks (:
Thanks for the interview... awesome perspective...
I bought the CD! Love it.
Seven is an amazing album. In my opinion Winger's best and damn near perfect
I have had it on repeat for weeks. Gets better and better.
That's the most winger has ever spoken on his recording. Impressive interview
Winger fan since 1990. Named my middle son have a him!! Very proud of that! It was an argument with my husband but I won🇺🇸❤️🔥🔥💯
that was a great interview man! great questions!!
Wonderful talk. Saw them on the last European tour and had a blast. Always loved the rockin' edge all their songs have. And the musicianship... wow.
Kip's solo albums are exceptional.
Kip is an amazing musician, with the new album nuff said .
I JUST SUBBED, MIKE BRUNN IS A GREAT INTERVIEWER
I have been a fan of your songs for years kip your songs are amazing sending 🤗🤗🤗

Enjoy, Reb will blow you away - the best live guitarist I've ever seen!
@@JKennedy442 Ooooh I hope Reb actually shows up haha (this is a Kip Winger solo show AFAIK).
@@GoNorthDesign Ah missed that part of your comment. I've seen Kip solo twice, that's also a treat as I really enjoy his solo work.
The solo shows are a mix of great music and road stories and funny commentary. You're going to really have a good time and he usually hangs out a bit afterwards and meets fans. It's not a meet n greet just a cool short hang. 👊🤘
Great interview Mike! I still buy music ;)
Great interview, Really looking forward to this album.
Kip is a master songwriter and still sounds amazing
This was GREAT! Thanks Guys! ❤

Saw Winger with Bullet Boys and Cinderella....amazing night !!!
Proud Desperado is really really good!
Saw Winger summer of 2022 and they looked and sounded better than ever. Hope to see them live again soon!
New album sounds great.
One incredibly Talented Musician!,,,Thank you great interview!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Mike, another fantastic interview, Kip seems like a very intellectual guy, I think he appreciated your intelligent questions, Well done sir
Thank you for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the interview!
Great interview. I Love the first two songs I heard on youtube and look forward to the album.
They sound better than ever.
Great info! Nice interview!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Brilliant Interview Kip is a class act
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Kip, if you ever get to LA I'll take you out to dinner. Love to hear more of your music history. Enjoyed this video. Thank you.
WINGER!!
Really solid interview -- great questions and Kip was very forthcoming.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great interview, Mike! Best interview with Kip about this new album out of anyone else!
Wow….thanks for the kind words. So glad you enjoyed the interview!
Kip is in my all time lineup.
Drums- Tommy Aldrich (Ozzie, Whitesnake)
Bass- Rudy Sarzo (Quite Riot, Whitesnake)
Lead Guitar- Vito Bratta (White Lion)

I refuse to do some streaming rental service. I do pay for TH-cam premium because of videos like the old MTV days but no Apple Spotify garbage.
Music journalists usually get an advance copy ahead of time so they will be ready for the interview and help promote the new album. I usually order off of eBay and Amazon for CDs since there are no music stores near me anymore.
Keep Battle Stations in! And Time to Surrender
Anyone like down incognito lol
Great interview. From the interviews I've seen Kip always seems like a nice guy. The 2 songs I've heard from the new album sound good.

Kip I’ve seen you many times you junk yard Dog tears on stone! Keep them coming !
How have you heard more than the 2 singles released!? Had to cover my ears when you started talking about the rest of the album
Advance press copy.
@@therockexperiencewithmikeb8365 ahhhh I see !! Man I think I’ll just hold out until may 5th even though I want to hear it all so bad !
What the bell is up with Kip being such a space cadet in all the latest interviews?
A good Winger interview is the one that doesn't mention Beavis and butthead at all!!! Enough already!
this album sounds awesome so far, Winger underappreciated.
