Today we take a look at the time Beavis and Butthead were credit with destroying 80's and 90's act Winger. The whole story is hilarious to be honest. Who would've thought a character wearing a t-shirt could torpedo a band's career, but some in the Winger camp claim that is what happened. Check it out!
Pretty funny...
shareGood cuz they suck
shareNickelback are the new Winger.
sharei did not grow up with winger but i only know them from b&b so yeah they must suck
shareIf this is true, then Winger deserved it. I mean, if a cartoon can ruin a bands career, then they didn't have much going for them in the first place.
shareThey didn’t ruin their career, they were what they were. A softer hair metal band. Any number of bands could’ve been used and the joke would be the same. Warrant, Cinderella, Slaughter, Poison etc.
The point that is that Beavis and Butthead had Metallica and Ac/DC shirts. Stewart should’ve picked something like Megadeth, or Iron Maiden, but instead chose a band that mostly girls would listen to.
What Beavis ans Butthead did in 2022 terms is make them a meme.
Some bands had a good relationship with the show. For example GWAR got their videos played in multiple episodes and Mike Judge invited them to the studio. They also appeared in one of the Beavis and Butthead video games.
