Ewww

I haven’t seen the 2nd part yet but loved the first. There’s some really, really fucking great insight in there from Steve. Might be a bit hippie-ish for some, but the whole bit about putting stuff out into the universe and not feeling guilty or ashamed to ask for it, I wish I had heard that in my younger years. I’d probably be a Ninja Turtle by now.

 

[Moondog Wily]

Awesome stuff! Should be required listening for any artist!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Absolutely. People give Kip Winger shit for his glam rock days, but he’s a very talented song writer, producer, and bass player. Vai of course goes without saying.

The interview that Steve did at Andertons is similarly inspiring, full of his Vai-losophy so to speak. Worth watching also!

Are we all going to do group 8 hour practice sessions per day along with the weekly fast now??

I'm still trying to figure out these good songs Kip Winger has written over the years

That might leave you headed for a heartbreak.

 

[FuzzyAce]

She's only 70.

 

[la szum]

Headed For Some Heartburn.

I enjoyed these. It's always cool to see guys who lived through the era of excess who seem largely humble and self aware these days.

Winger's Pull album is awesome. Even their peak 80's cheese is like a fine parmesan compared to the kraft singles other bands were releasing at that time.

 

[Achilles]

Excellent stuff.

The production and performances were top notch.

 

[TSJMajesty]

She's only 70.

That was fucking hilarious!!

 

[FuzzyAce]

That was fucking hilarious!!

I joke with my wife about it. We watched a recent vid of them doing that song (great musicians, I have nothing against them) and we mentioned it has to be awkward doing that song the older you get. So I said "they should just change the lyrics to she's only 70?" There's a great parody song in there just waiting to come out, i'm just not motivated enough to do it right now.

 

[la szum]

Yeah, those borderline rapey lyrics do not age well.

 

[EOengineer]

Someone already made a heading for a heartbreak joke. I’m useless here.

 

[Stone]

No denying the Solos Reb does on Headed for a Heartbreak are very melodic and quite awesome
its a great song
