Over the last month or so, we’ve been on a roll regarding our 20 Questions. We’ve had some great answers and some indepth interviews. Well it can’t last forever!

And on that note, here’s our 20 Questions with Winger’s Kip Winger!

1. What are you currently up to? This is your only chance to promote your projects.

very Funny! .I’m currently just writing my ass off.Alot of songs..and working on a ochestral piece.

NOTE: Actually we weren’t trying to be funny. We start every interview this way. If you think that’s funny, you ain’t seen nothing yet!

2. Poison was out touring for the third Summer in a row & once again drawing some very big crowds. What’s your take on the reason why Poison and Kiss are the only hairbands to draw such a large crowd while the others are playing clubs or small theaters?

Bon Jovi’s not doing too bad… Basically the bands that sold Millions of records can still draw enough people to survive.

 

3. Do you think Winger was musically superior to the typical 80s hairband?

Those would be you words…Obviously we were all good musicians..and strived to write more challenging stuff.
