Winger... or Grim Reaper?

[LeftyLoungeLizard]

Some may be thinking, "WTF? Winger - Grim Reaper? Where's the connection?"

Ah... but this is the connection:

(also, Beavis & Butthead burned them both)

Observe the following video examples and... choose wisely:

Winger all the way! I saw them live when I was a kid during their self-titled album tour and they absolutely killed it. I run into Reb every now and then and he is a real gentleman.

I barely know any tracks from either, but I love Headed for a Heartbreak.

Winger by a mile, Great Musicians, Reb Beach is a monster player !!!
Time stamped, great tapping outro solo -->

 

[JiveTurkey]

Grim Reaper by infinite miles. Duh.

 

[Warmart]

Grim Reaper by infinite miles. Duh.

See you in hell, my friend!

I remember a GW article saying something like their first album was great, but that cover of Purple Haze made Winger deserve all the ridicule they received from the Beavis & Butthead crowd.

I think I would have to agree with that assessment.

Bonus points for one of the best trad metal over thrash vocals there is.

Edited for fixed

Reb Beach is truly a monster; especially at tapping.

In fact, his tapping is so scary that it is far more frightening than anything Grim Reaper has produced.

(yes, @maguchi - dreams do come true!)

Duh.

Winger or Warrant would have been better.

Purple, always purple!

Hell yeah! The rest of the band were killer session musicians.

 

[TSJMajesty]

Oh God. Neither.

 

[Frodebro]

ABBA

I’ve heard an entire a Grim Reaper song so they get my vote.

Grimy Reaper should have done a classic metal equivalent of Milli Vanilli
