Celebrity Rock Super Group Scrap Metal featuring all lead singers from MTV's most popular rock bands of the 80s and 90s announces Kip Winger of Winger ("Seventeen"/"Headed for a Heartbreak") will join them onstage to perform an acoustic set as their Special Guest Star at the upcoming Scrap Metal fall rock concert event at the Mohegan Sun Wolf Den in Uncasville, Connecticut on Saturday, October 4, 2008.

Nashville, TN (Billboard Publicity Wire) September 30, 2008 -- Celebrity Rock Super Group Scrap Metal announced Kip Winger founder of WINGER ("Seventeen"/"Headed for a Heartbreak"), and former bassist for legendary rock group Alice Cooper will join them onstage to perform a special acoustic set as their Special Guest Star at the upcoming Scrap Metal fall rock concert event at the Mohegan Sun Wolf Den in Uncasville, CT on Saturday, October 4, 2008.

SCRAP METAL, the celebrity rock super group whose members have sold over 50 million records worldwide, stars Gunnar Nelson (Nelson/"After the Rain"); Mark Slaughter (Slaughter/ "Up All Night" / "Fly to the Angels"); and Matthew Nelson (Nelson/ "Love and Affection"). This 'Rock and Roll Rat Pack' always features the original lead front men from MTV's most popular metal bands of the 1980s and 1990s.

"It's been way too long since we had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Kip Winger at the very first Scrap Metal concert," enthuses Scrap Metal co-founder Gunnar Nelson. "It'll be an honor to rock the house together. This is going to be a standout show, even given the auspicious history of stellar Scrap Metal events."

Other special guest stars announced for the Scrap Metal event include Eric Martin former lead singer of Mr. Big ("To Be With You") and Jeff Scott Soto formerly of Journey / Steel Dragon (Soundtrack for "Rock Star").

"It's about time we were able to get fellow Nashville rocker Kip Winger as our special guest star," raves band co-founder Mark Slaughter. "Plus, with special guest stars Eric Martin and Jeff Scott Soto it will definitely make it an unforgettable rock event."

The Scrap Metal live rock concert event is Saturday, October 4, 2008 at 8:00 pm at The Mohegan Sun Wolf Den 1 Mohegan Sun Boulevard, Uncasville, CT 06382.
