Down. Wussies who could supposedly play well, but so what, if you're making music for chicks. And being a male ballerina isnt metal.

Great band..great musicians.

If they had a different name and image they wouldn't have gotten the razing they did. Plus the rap on Baptized by Fire is the best rap by a rock band. :D

Up. Cheesy acting in the 80s, but aged out of that and made some great tunes.

Sorry to Beavis & Butt-Head, but thumbs up.

Still making new music, still touring, and still good live, instead of going through the motions like some other bands.

Same lineup since they started too, compared to a band like L.A. Guns.

Thumbs way up. S/T and In the Heart of the Young are perfect melodic hard rock.

Thumbs up to Kip, Reb and the Ultimate Warrior.

The reunion records are not as good as the original 3 but they definitely have their moments.

Kip’s Conversations with Nijinsky is impressive!

Winger hate's a little played out but still, thumbs down.

Two types of Winger fans:

- Dudes who work at Guitar Center that say things like "You like the Beatles? You should check out King's X."
- Moms

I saw them live once and they were okay. He did the "She's only 48..." thing, which was funny.

That was almost 20 years ago. DO THE MATH!!!!

This. They're like a thumb sideways. I like the Dixie Dregs tho, so I'm glad that Rod Morgenstein made a little money.

He does not care for Van Halen very much.

Although you just named my three favourite bands. :)

That was actually pretty damn original for an album cover. Beats the faux-art black album cover.

Yeah those album covers are good. Oh what the hell, I even like those albums. Better than anything Winger did!

It was actually pretty damn gay for supposedly the biggest and baddest metal band of all time. This era of Metallica makes the Tony Martin era of Sabbath seem original.

Not shocking in the slightest. ’ll take Winger and Scab Sabbath all year long on repeat. Metallica sucked giant, hairy balls after AJFA. They went from the coolest band on earth to the lamest. Tony Iommi at his worst is still more badass than all four members of Metallica the last 35 years.

We can almost agree on that. I think Sabbath are better and more consistent than Kiss though so they have to be in my top 3 instead.
