BTW, recently watched the Making of Pull / Winger IV DVD, and it was pretty interesting. Some funny stuff in there.

I'm surprised you like them Deano. They aren't very mainstream sounding! Props to you. Unlike St. John who seems to hate everything!

Cmon dude. Everytime I see someone post about a band, you seem to hate them. Don't lie now!

Journey, Survivor, Motley Crue, Foreigner, old Bon Jovi, old Metallica, new Mr Big and Prince and MJ just to name a few.

Also, A little known fact about their second album, In The Heart Of The Young, is that "Cant't Get Enough" and "Easy Come Easy Go" were added towards the end of the album's production, because Atlantic gave Winger the 'we don't hear a single' cry....If you remove those two songs when you listen to the album, it's got a much different character. The songs are far more cohesively put together.
Regardless, this band takes ALOT of shit because of a very poorly placed label by Mike Judge far more deserved of a band like Poison or Warrant. Did the band have some cheesy songs? sure, you can possibly say that about 17....but I guarantee you that CC Deville of Poison, Joey Allen of Warrant or any other late 80s hair band guitarist couldn't *play* 17 if their life depended on it....

I agree on every level. These guys are top notch musicians and songwriters, and were victims of image abuse by their labels just like Europe. Now that these bands have total creative control, it's pretty clear what they are made of.
"Pull" is one of my top 5 rock albums of all time. Not a weak song on it. Loved the "Making Of" DVD where Kip is recording the acoustic guitar for "Spell I'm Under" and he starts goofing off with it.
Quick note: Warrant actually had much better material in them too, as their post-"Cherry Pie" albums showed. But Poison? With them, what you see is what you get. Bret Michaels is 100% cheese. TUFF is a good example of what Poison would be if you added talent and decent songwriting ability.

You're not far off, Kip did change the lyrics to "35" at the Mohegan show last October.
