History:
Radio friendly hard rock with pop overtones and pretty boy good looks made Winger MTV darlings in the early 90's. However they represented everything the grunge invasion stood against, and became whipping boys when the glam music scene went into recession.
  Formed in New York City by Kip Winger (vocals/bass) and Paul Taylor (guitar/keyboards) who had both toured and recorded with Alice Cooper during his mid-eighties comeback. Session guitarist Reb Beach and ex-Dixie Dregs drummer Rod Morgenstein rounded out the band. Heavy MTV rotation for songs such as "Headed For A Heartbreak", "Seventeen", "Easy Come Easy Go" and "Miles Away" pushed their first two albums over the million sales mark.
  Wanting to explore new interests, Taylor left in 1991 and was replaced by John Roth for the tour supporting Pull. Pull took over a year to write, and in that time the music scene had changed completely. When the album was released it showed Winger rocking harder then ever, but quickly disappeared due to lack of promotion, as radio and TV that had once embraced the band now turned their backs. The band officially broke up in 1993. Kip Winger went on to record as a solo artist. Morgenstein reformed the Dixie Dregs and Beach joined Dokken for one album and tour before also going solo.
  The band reformed to record a new song for the Very Best Of Winger album, and then did a full scale tour (with all five former members) with the Poison festival in 2002. A brand new recording called IVCenk Eroglu.
