Winger Will Support Steel Panther On Tour

It is 2023 and that means Winger is marking 35 years as a band. To celebrate, Winger will hit the road with Steel Panther for the On The Prowl tour in the UK in May. Winger also updated social platforms with new art referencing the 35th anniversary and a new photoshoot too - so perhaps other things are brewing for the next few months. I hope!

Two great bands together for a great run . . . through the UK.

That said, I am sorta' interested in seeing SP with Tragedy on the latest US run. Has anyone seen Tragedy? The gimmick sounds potentially amazing. A night of laughs and metal . . . and ABBA!

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Saw Tragedy in NYC awhile back …

AMAZING!

Saw Steel Panther three times!

Twice at M3 …

Once at Hard Rock in Orlando

Great music … Mediocre facsimile of humor in most of the lyrics, though admittedly a few lines are quite hilarious.

As I’ve said before, these clowns would have gotten a lot further had they mastered the art of the double entendre on the level of, say, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick, “Heaven Tonight”, rather than relying on the corny quasi cliched words that are now their indelible trademark.

But that requires actual talent, Metal Gods forbid.

Won't be anywhere near Atlanta, Crued. Though it would--as I have said numerous times--fun to meet you and some of the others face-to-face at some point. My likely target would be Vegas. My favorite song? "Down Incognito."

Metalboy!, as I noted in my previous post (given that I read them from top to bottom), I am just glad you are here posting again. Also glad to hear you second that Tragedy is a good act to see. I also appreciate you giving SP props for their musical talent. Question:do you like their latest single? I think it shows a return to form after some clunkers in recent years.

Yes, SP are juvenile. That's their shtick. Is it for everyone? Of course not. But asking them to change their act is sorta' like saying Buster Keaton would have gone farther if he had toned down the physical comedy a bit. And, to be fair, they are simply amplifying a deep, deep vein of stupid in the lyrics of some of the bands we all know and love.

But, again, glad to have you back for a spell. Hope you stick around.
