The Details: Winger is a rock solid group for sure and they’ve been entertaining audiences with their music since their formation in 1988. After a breakup in 1994 thanks to the “Grunge Era”, Winger once again signed up for service to their fans in 2001 and have been kicking musical ass since. I’ve enjoyed the band since the first album and while it took me many years to catch them live, I was glad that I did when I had the chance. Now thanks to the fine folks at CEG Presents, PiercingMetal is going to put some of their readers into this sure to be rocking event. Read more below on how to participate.
When and Where: Saturday, April 26th @ Stage 48 (605 West 48th Street, NYC)
To Participate: I made this an easy one since it came up so quickly. Tell me a couple of reasons why Winger does it for you as a band or share a couple of memories about past shows that just thinking about still manage to rock your socks. I will be selecting the responses that interest me most and letting the winners know directly below their comments. Be sure to enter your full real name (not just your first since its needed for the listing purposes). We also need a working email to confirm details (you will not be spammed). Only enter once as no appending will be permitted and please not that anonymous and guest submissions will be immediately disqualified. Now bring it on. This contest will end on Friday morning before the show since names have to get into the house.
Restrictions: While all PiercingMetal.com contests are open to our regional site readers, Twitter Followers and Facebook Page Likers you should know that we tend to look at new responders first in order to give everyone a fair shot at enjoying a show on the provider and us. Of course we still encourage all to respond because you never know just how many tickets we are offering and when that last person might have won in comparison to you. I will say that the biggest restriction on this one is that if you have won anything over the last month that your chances are even less because we surely cannot have the same people winning again and again.

Below you will find some links to the bands catalog. There is some really good stuff in there so give it a sample and do try to catch them in concert at least once in your life. Trust me you will enjoy it.
Winger may have started out as a pop metal band, but they are now a very mature rock group that is far from that, with complex thoughtful compositions and lyrics. I especially enjoy Kip Winger deep expressive vocals and Reb Beach’s virtuoso guitar playing. Videos from new album, like Tin Soldier sound fantastic, almost progressive. Would love to hear them in concert!

I’ve loved Winger since I saw their first video on MTV and I’ve loved their progression ever since. I constantly stand up for the band when others put them down. Plus, Kip is still hot! And that is why I need to win a ticket!

I think many people overlooked Winger in the early days. I know I was one but when I went back and listened to their live concert, I was hooked. You simply have some great songs, some great hooks and killer players such as Rod Morganstein And Reb Beach. Maybe part of me was jealous cause Kip was back in the day a guy the ladies liked. As you get older, you learn it is all good. We need to keep all rock alive and these guys can rock.
