The main thing is that I've been studying composition for the last four years. I'd say it's the life experience combined with the lessons that enabled me to go much further.
From Kip Winger
I'm a child of the 70's; influenced mostly by albums that had a wide variety of style.
Throughout the years I have tried to hone my skills to gain mastery over the music in my head.
In general, I don't feel artists should need producers.
A producer should only be there to enable an artist to be himself.
Rock stardom and all that stuff like that was never like my main M.O., my main M.O. is musical growth, and if I become a rock star in the process, great!
I'm not financially insecure anymore either so I don't have to sit there and get on the latest Poison tour just to make money, which is what a lot of them are doing.
I wouldn't do just a tour, it would have to be an album, and the album would have to beat Pull.
To actually put the time and energy into an album that would be better than Pull would be a hell of a lot of work, because I took that band really seriously, way more seriously than people took us. If you go back and listen to the records, you can hear it.
God would have to beam into me what I was doing and what the album actually sounded like because usually when I start a project like that, I already know what the album sounds like before I start it.
