Part 3/7:
Transitioning from rock to a solo career, Winger took a bold step away from his metal roots. He sought to explore softer experimental sounds, influenced by artists like Peter Gabriel and early electronic bands. By stripping away the heavy elements of his previous work, he aimed to redefine his musical doctrine.
Financial concerns in the music industry had previously hindered creative expression, with Winger expressing a belief that monetary motivations often inhibit authentic artistry. In breaking free from commercial constraints post-tragedy, he committed to creating music solely for himself, leading to an era of experimentation and personal fulfillment.
