Yep, the Winger tour was a
great success. Reb had a blast playing the shows as well as meeting with
some terrific fans while on the road. So what does Reb have in mind for
the summer? Go on vacation? Take those knitting classes he's been meaning
to take since the 11th grade? How about mountain biking? Naw....it's
been "hush, hush" until all of the particulars were handled, but now the cat's
out of the bag. Reb's just gotta play!! As reported on
melodicrock.com...
NIGHT RANGER UPDATE:
As most Night Ranger fans
will now be aware, guitarist Jeff Watson
has issued a statement on his
MySpace page in regards to his departure from
the band.
The illustrious and well respected guitar wizard Reb
Beach (Winger, Whitesnake) has been confirmed to join Jack,
Kelly, Brad and Michael Lardie in Night
Ranger for the band's summer touring plans, which includes some
dates in Japan as well as US shows.
Reb's involvement with Whitesnake is not affected by this decision. Reb
previously played with drummer Kelly Keagy
in the supergroup project The Mob, releasing an album through
Frontiers Records in 2005.
Thanks to our friends at
www.melodicrock.com for their
outstanding work on this. Be sure to check them out.

I know, I know...it's been a while and everyone's
thinking, "Well...how is it going on the road? Great shows? Great times? WTF?"
Well from the mouth of Reb, here it is.....
Hey everyone,
Here I am in Cleveland with a foot of snow when I was in Florida just a few
days ago. I really miss Florida, and it was so nice to be there again. I have
no use for snow, and I will have a house in Florida one day again if it kills
me. The Winger shows are going very well. Many are selling out, and I am
seeing so many people from the forum. On this tour there is allot of time when
we just hang around the club after soundcheck. It's great because I am able to
spend time talking to the wonderful fans of the band. Everyone tells me were
they saw the band and when. I guess I've been around a long time! Anyway,
we're having a ball out here laughing and partying all night and sleeping all
day. One of these days I have to grow up, but I am definitely enjoying it out
here with my dear friends. Hey, I think I am in Guitar one Magazine this
month, and also on the dvd that comes with it. Hope to see you all out here.
All the best,
Reb
How awesome is that?!?!
Sounds like all is going well and they are having an ass kicking time with the
shows and all of you, the fans!! Thanks

Reb and Winger at a show near you. The reviews have been great and the shows

WINGER TO PUT OUT A NEW CD!!!!
Winger 2006
(click for full image)
Well the
cat's out of the bag. After a long wait and after much anticipation, as
announced today at MelodicRock.com,
"Frontiers Records
is particularly excited to announce the signing of
Winger
for a brand new reunion studio album!"
The release
further says, "after
years of consideration Kip Winger
decided to reunite Winger
for a brand new album. This finally happened when he actually "heard" the
musical path where he could "move the band sound forward, without repeating
the same music over and over".
Kip therefore started at the beginning of 2006 to write new material with
guitarist Reb Beach
who "thought it would NEVER happen! But what we have worked on sounds really
good and I have been so excited to be working with Kip on our own stuff again".
The new material will feature Kip,
Reb, Rod Morgenstein, John Roth, and Cenk Eroglu on keyboards.
"The new
Winger album" says Kip, "will start where
Pull
left off and will move forward to new directions mixing some classic Hard Rock
like Van Halen and early Winger style, progressive and acoustic elements that
may resemble Genesis, Mott The Hoople or King Crimson".
Winger
are currently working on touring plans in USA, Europe and Japan in support of
the release of the album - a Frontiers Records world exclusive - scheduled for
release in October 2006.
Many thanks to
www.melodicrock.com and frontiers
records www.frontiers.it
So there ya have it!!! A
scheduled October release and another great CD on the horizon!! Told ya
this would be a great year for Reb!!! Stay tuned for more information as
it is released!
Monday April 14th, 2006
Reb's gearing up for some
shows overseas with Whitesnake over the next 3 months. This summer's shows
will take Reb to Japan, United Kingdom, and various stops in Europe including
Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and Greece. While in Japan, Reb's going for a
McTeryaki burger at McDonalds and tells our beloved Beachboard members, "I
love those things. One of the best things about Japan is the vending
machines with beer in them all over the city. What a country!"
.
SUPERBOWL SUNDAY February 5th, 2006
It's no secret that Reb is
a HUGE Pittsburg Steelers fan. And guess what...the STEELERS WON the
Superbowl!!! Congrats to Reb and the rest of the Steelers fans out there
(myself included). Let's hope this is the start of great things to come
for Reb and all of us in 2006!

MOB SITE ONLINE, STRIPPED TOUR PHOTOS
With the new album release from Reb's latest project The Mob on November 7th, the official Mob website is now online at www.rebbeach.com/mob/ - the site has a ton of info on the project, as well as ordering information, so take a look.
Following last year's VH-1 Metal Mania Stripped acoustic tour
with Reb playing alongside both Kip Winger and Don Dokken, we've got some great photography from the tour, courtesy of Scott Legato, Roberta and Chessie in the Stripped Photo Gallery as well as lots of new shots in the Fan Photo Gallery. Monday 22nd August, 2005
PHOTOGRAPHY BLOWOUT - PART 2! Yup - more excellent shots from the current tour from Andy Sovich, Amy Marteeny, Don Lee and Wayne Dennon in the Whitesnake Gallery plus more with fans and friends in the Fan Gallery. Also, we've got the latest shots direct from Reb's guitar tech Cris Lepurage of his new OD100 amp rack and pedalboard in the Gear Gallery. Sunday 14th August, 2005
PHOTOGRAPHY BLOWOUT! We've got a TON of new photography on RB.com this week, with great new live shots from the current Whitesnake tour from Tom Harris and Wayne Dennon in the Whitesnake Gallery, some tremendous vintage Winger shots from Kim Feldmiller in the Winger Gallery, and even a few new (and old!) shots of Reb with fans and friends in the Fan Gallery. Check 'em out! Sunday 7th August, 2005
GEAR UPDATE - REB SWITCHES TO OD100 AMPS! After years of using his trusty John Suhr-modded Marshalls, Reb has switched to John's OD100 amplifier for the current Whitesnake World Tour. Check out the Gear Gallery where Reb gives us the scoop direct from the road on the change... Sunday 17th July, 2005
TOUR UPDATE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BLOWOUT! Lots happening around here at the moment. We've got some great photography for you in the Whitesnake 2005 Photo Gallery courtesy of 2 pro rock photographers Scott Legato and Wayne Dennon, some new Fan Photos and an update from Reb on the road with Whitesnake on the Rock and Roll, Rhythm and Blues Tour... "I am in... Ah! Toledo Ohio. Today we play the 15th show of the tour and things are going very well. I have been in the band now for a solid three years and I am so comfortable and close with these guys. All we really do is laugh. Every night after the show, we all retire to the bus for vodka and tonics. It's kind of like drinking camp on wheels. Timothy is by far the funniest person in the band and he has us in stiches every night. Sometimes Uriah and I play Xbox in the back (Halo 2, Oddworld, James Bond) and the rest of the guys watch Direct TV in the front.
Yesterday was one of those days. It was in Lansing Michigan, a place known nationwide for its good kharma! We shared a dressing room with David. When David walked in he said as he always does for good luck "Bless this house and all who are in it!" Then I walked into the bathroom and the toilet overflowed when I flushed it, so even though the room was blessed by the boss, we all got dressed on the bus!
Right before I got onstage, my brand new Custom Audio head stopped working. We used the backup head and it blew a fuse on the third song. Then I ripped my favorite shirt. I thought maybe it was just a bad day for everyone because the space shuttle launch was scrubbed that day as well.
So far on the road I have seen many of my friends from the forum and it has been such a joy. I had a nice time seeing Jean, who looks fabulous, by the way. She and Deb hung out and talked girl talk for awhile. I hung with Maz and she drove me to the airport. I learned a lot of great things about her and I like her car. I saw Jamie in Denver and we talked about working together one day. I have met lots of musicians this time out. I talked to the Night Ranger guys and the guys from R.E.O. Speedwagon. I met Buck Dharma from Blue Oyster Cult yesterday, which was cool. They opened for us and played great! I miss the giant Godzilla head, though!
All in all this has been the most enjoyable tour yet for me with Whitesnake. Doug and I are having so much fun playing together and we are working out new double solos all the time. David has never sounded better, and I still get off hearing him sing "Still of the Night" every night.
I guess, for me, things are really good right now. I feel good and guess what? I AM THIN!!! I am actually thin. Anyone who knows me knows that to hear me say that is like hearing me say "BEER SUCKS!!!" I always gain weight when I am writing in the studio, and "The Mob" stuff took a long time to write. I mean, I was waddling and had manboobs. I was a manly wooden swedish doll with rosy cheeks and a beard! I decided for the first time to just have a little bit of discipline and instead of just dieting before the tour, diet DURING the tour as well! I didn't think it was possible on the road, but it is so easy now with all the fast food places offering low carb options.
Anyway, it's 6:00pm and we are leaving at 6:30 for the gig, so I have to pack everything up, do a dummy check
 (cell phone, charger, headphones, computer cables and most important, wallet. Sometimes I say "wallet" as I am leaving the room)and get out to the bus. My best to you all! Thank you for keeping this place alive and I really look forward to seeing you all out here! Cheers!"
REB
