Description

In the Heart of the Young was the second album by American glam metal band Winger. It was released by Atlantic Records in 1990.
Musically, In the Heart of the Young followed closely in the footsteps of the band debut album. Once again produced by Beau Hill, the album features hook driven, progressive-tinged, radio friendly pop metal. There are, however, also some notable changes from the debut. In the second half of the album the lyrics take on a more serious approach than was typical for the genre and the band also stretches out into longer and more complex progressive passages than on the first Winger album.

The album was certified platinum and produced such hits as “”Can’t Get Enuff””, “”Easy Come Easy Go”” and “”Miles Away””, the latter of which made the Top 20 at Billboard single chart. According to Kip Winger, “”Can’t Get Enuff”” and “”Easy Come Easy Go”” were late additions to the track listing, written because it was felt there were not enough rock songs on the album. The album itself peaked at #15 at the album chart.

Winger followed the release of the album with a 13 month world tour, playing with KISS, Scorpions, ZZ Top, Extreme and Slaughter.

Winger’s debut was an immediate commercial and critical success, selling in excess of a million units and making front-man Kip Winger’s chiselled look a household name, rivalling even the popularity of Jon Bon Jovi.
At that point in time almost every teenage girl in the USA probably had a poster of him adorning their bedroom wall and every aspiring male rocker wanted to lead a band just as good as his.
For this follow-up album, Kip retained all the positive points of his debut’s success, with no changes to either band members or his producer Beau Hill, except that this time around they elected to record in Los Angeles rather than New York City.

Musically, “In the Heart Of The Young” followed closely in the footsteps of the band’s debut, however all was augmented to the stratosphere: bombastic, catchier, sharper, bringing together 11 tracks of superior Melodic Rock / AOR goodness.
The sound is BIG, the hooks are huge and the songs were as every bit on the money as first time around. Kip’s familiar husky roar wraps itself around classic tracks such as “Can’t Get Enuff”, “Easy Come, Easy Go” or “Miles Away”.
Reb Beach’s work on the six strings is phenomenal, whilst the rhythm section pounds away in a manner befitting some of the world’s most successful melodic hard rock acts like Whitesnake and Def Leppard.

“In The Heart Of The Young” is simply terrific. It’s easily ranked amongst my favorite 50 Top albums of all time. It’s vibrant, glossy, pumpin’, cheesy at places if you want, but it’s that kind of records impossible to reproduce in the recording studio nowadays. The sound is awesome.
While any Melodic Hard Rock / AOR fan already must own a copy in its collection. “In The Heart Of The Young” is pure gold.

A MUST HAVE.

Certainly NOT Kip, maybe “Rainbow In The Rose” has some touches, but…  :

“the musicianship on this song is really good. Winger is under rated. This is coming from a dude who listens to tons of extreme metal. I have a soft spot for these dudes. They bring a prog influence into Glam Metal. Something I have never heard any other band do in the genre. I used to hate this stuff but after really giving Glam a chance, there are some good bands and they are definitely METAL. They bring the fun and party into music that is normally very bleak in lyrical content. Kip Winger is a great singer and a very solid bass player. Reb Beach is one of the best shredders in metal on top of having one of the best drummers of all time in their band mr Rod Morgenstein. Hell even the rhythm guitar/keyboard player (forget his name) is extremely talented! The guy can actually lay down some shredding leads as well. Why oh why did I not give some of these bands a chance before? Glam stole all of the great metal guitar players of the 80’s too. ”


Definitely NOT a poser band.  These musicians work hard and honest to make great music.  I’ve seen them live with all the original members, and they rocked the house …. professional and funny as well, they don’t deserve the bad rap.


  • Winger is remembered as one of the better Hair Bands of the late 1980s and early 1990s, becoming MTV stars when two songs from their 1988 debut album – “Headed for a Heartbreak” and “Seventeen” – went in rotation on MTV.

    The band is fronted by Kip Winger, a former member of Alice Cooper’s band, and included Reb Beach, Paul Taylor, and Rod Morgenstein. “Can’t Get Enuff” was the lead single from their second album, which like the first, went Platinum in the US. Winger seemed headed for superstardom, but musical tastes changed dramatically in the early 1990s, and they broke up in 1994. They got back together in the ’00s and recorded a new album in 2006.

  • Written by Kip Winger and guitarist Reb Beach, “Can’t Get Enuff” has the typical Winger swagger and familiar subject matter: lusting after a girl. Kip Winger would later record orchestra music and release solo material, but when he writes for Winger, he typically puts a lot of attitude into the songs, avoiding personal subjects.

    Winger songs start with the riffs and can get pretty intricate in their arrangements, allowing the band to showcase their musicianship. The lyrics always come last.

  • Using “Enuff” as an alternate spelling of “Enough” was big at the time: The Fabulous Thunderbirds had a hit with “Tuff Enuff” in 1986, and there was another band called Enuff Z’Nuff who charted with “New Thing” in 1989 and “Fly High Michelle” in 1990.
  • Michael Bay – the same guy who directed the Transformers movies – directed the video for this song. Kip Winger wanted it look like a Coke commercial, which at the time meant sweaty and somewhat lascivious. Bay had just started directing music videos; his work included “Soldier of Love” for Donny Osmond and “Angelia” for Richard Marx
