“Usually Winger fans don’t "expect" anything because they know we do what we feel like doing artistically” explains Kip. “It is not a commercially driven band. I can say that the songs are very upbeat”. Reb Beach adds: “It's a very up-tempo riff driven rocking record. It has the elements of vintage Winger from ‘89 but has the blood, sweat and tears of years 20 years of writing, recording and touring!” ..... Kip Winger & Reb beach

Angel In Fatigues
Field of Grey
Off to war with no more reasons
than to see the world of the unknown
Well she packs her bags to join the legions
of all the heroes that left before
Said I'll be home in time for the holidays
and i swear to call from time to time
but if you need me, well you know my name
just look to the sky cause that's where angels fly
My angel in fatigues
my hero in military wings
my angel from everywhere you know
my hero I'll never let you go
Packs her bags hiding what she fears
time to go holding back the tears
the last words spoken before she turned away
please don't worry, cause angels never fade
My angel in fatigues
my hero in military wings
my angel from everywhere you know
my hero I'll never let you go
ohhh... never forget never forget
what our heroes mean
never forget never forget
when the angels sing
never forget never forget
what our heroes bring
what our heroes bring, when the angels sing
Thursday morning march 16th
The angel flies on military wings
Free to roam the heavens above
never take for granted a heroes love
My angel in fatigues
my hero in military wings
my angel from everywhere you know
my hero I'll never let you go
My angel in fatigues
my hero in military wings
my angel from everywhere you know
my hero I'll never let you go

Just stopping by to let you guys know that the new albums (Karma and IV) are incredible. I must admit, I was skeptical before purchasing them, that they might be crap. Typically when an 80's band releases an album nowadays, it's usually crap. However you guys totally blew away my expectations. Congrats on being the ONLY 80's band to NOT release a shitty cd. Every one of your discs is a classic in my opinion. Can't wait for that US tour.
in 2012 our world will change positively for the human mankind!
drink clear water. breath deep and slowly. go outside and enjoy the nature. don't trust your ego - trust your fellings. follow your dreams. beware of illusions. if you do this i promise you: your life will change the best way!
kind regards! wolfgang
DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) new cd february 2010!
Dear Sirs My name is Eduardo de Souza Bonadia and im editor from brasilian webzine Stryke Virtual Metal Magazine & Promotion(www.strikemet.com) We know that the band will play at Denmark in few weeks and we would like to schedule a interview/photo session with you Our representative there is called Francisco from Mechanix Music in Sweden, he is responsible for the interview and another guy will take the photos. Im looking forward your reply soon Thanks in advance Eduardo
I am JAZZED about seeing you all in Copenhagen in a couple of weeks. I get the feeling that you are touring more extensively and to that end I would suggest that you think about branching out to the Festivals in Denmark and if you into more intimate settings then please drop by the "kultural center" of Denmark, Aarhus next time. I promise a much more appreciative audience.
You Guys REALLY RAWK!!!
Thanks for your points of view in music. Would LOVE a photo and hand shake. I managed to shake hands with Reb at Firefest III. Great show. I am Jazzed !!
