After Joe Elliot said that bands like Poison and Winger are "not worth listening" some months ago, Kip Winger, the leader of Winger, decided to reply:

"Yeah, I just want to say that I read what Joe Elliott said, slagging off bands like Poison and Winger. I've gotten used to being the punching bag, I take it all! But Poison is really good live.В But if Joe Elliott wants to meet me at an L.A. club of his choice with an acoustic guitar, leave the Pro Tools at home and I'll open up a can of whoop-ass on him!"

Kip also has something to say about Metallica:

"In fact, when I first heard "The black album", I thought it was a really cool record... and then they just started taking shots at me, for whatever reason. But it's okay, Lars is not really that talented. I actually felt sorry for him when I saw that "Some Kind of Monster" documentary."
