Who had the best mids?

I was looking for my favorite Winger song "Time to Surrender" and ran into a live version and was reminded at how well Kip Winger has held onto his voice. It was the St.Charles, IL show from 2018. I think the whole thing is on Youtube. Worth checking. He can sing. Not that embarrassing crap like Stephen Percy is trying to cough up :dunno:


This is not that, just the original track. For as 'POPy' as they were this song has this cool industrial metal thing going on :yes:

Saw them at Rock Fest a couple yrs back. He has kept his voice for sure. Didn't Robbin Crosby pass away though, way back? RIP

yeah, for mid honk, definitely Stryper
This should be a separate category lol. You had:
Stryper
Icon
TNT

For the 'almost too honky' mids category. Funny because it sounds great in the mix, but when I blast that frequency up alone playing it's just too damn much for me. Lol. But, I did see TNT live at a small club in St Paul Mn back in 89 or so...Ryans...and Ronni's tone/playing were killer.
 
Kix
Guns
Ratt
Cinderella
Queensryche
ACDC
Priest
Scorpions

Brain fart. I meant Stephen Percy. RIP Robbin - he was a big reason why Ratt was Ratt.

Stephen has been looking better and singing pretty good lately.... seems he got it together and got off the meds. Still wish demartini would just join the band since he's out doing stuff with kings of chaos and sitting in with japanese girl bands etc... whatever

That's the best I've heard him sound in a long time - on another note, where does one get black saran wrap pants anyways? :lol: :LOL:

Who is the guy with the white Charvel - sounded pretty killer.

Jordan Ziff....he's from AZ. Nice guy...I've emailed him before a few times about gear questions about 4 years ago. Responded fast and was way nice.

I`ll agree he sounds good . I saw them in`84,`85 & `87 and I might say he sounds better now . From the same gig

 
Early 80’s Scorps and Journey....Gary Moore Corridors through Run For Cover....EVH, the brown is in the mids...and most of all AC/DC.
 
Dokken. Back for the attack, the intro to "Night by Night"

Intro to wicked sensation, has some great mids too.

EVH. Drop dead legs.
 
Steve Stevens and Nuno if you count Pornograffiti as 80's/glam

Scotti Hill is one of my faves too, but specifically his STTG tone :rock:


Blues Saraceno's tone on Plaid and Hairpick was epic too, though also early 90's
 
Easy, Kee Fucking Marcello:



Been trying to nail that tone with my modded Marshall style amp and my strat. I had a Duncan JB in the bridge before, but currently have a DD on it which is not that great imo. I need to get the JB back in the game! :rock:

Kee's sound starts at 13:51.
