Metal Goddesses

[Sukerkin]

Came across this whilst link-surfing guitar related YouTube vids. I wasn't sure at first but I think it actually works (probably better if you don't know the original mind you ). Also, this looks pretty recent (going by the kit if nothing else) so it is good to find out that Doro is still rocking - mind you I think all those decades of Metal have taken their toll on her voice .

Then again, doing her own (Warlock) stuff ...

And a bit of Lita Ford as a bonus (she's one of those ladies who mature wonderfully with the years both in terms of the music and how she looks)

Lee Aaron.


But....I'd be in big trouble with my wife if Doro knocked on my door and said "how bout dinner and a nightcap, but lets skip dinner".

Joan Jett - Bad Reputation


I Hate Myself for Loving You

 

[Omar B]

Joan Jett is not metal.

My picks, both sang for David Chastain's band "Chastain." Kate French and Leather Leone.

 

[Sukerkin]

I am afraid that your tastes and mine do not run parallel on that one, Omar. What a row!

I'm old, what can I say; altho' I have tried to keep current with the 'progress' in Metal, I pretty much gave up trying to assimilate each new wave after 'Glam Rock Phase II'. What people were claiming to be Metal came to be termed "Shouty-Stampy" by me, which gives you a clue to how musical I felt it to be .

Joan Jett, hmmm ... I've not really paid much attention to her over the years since the Runaway's, other than "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll" I don't really know her music. More on the side of old-time Glam Rock (like Mudd or T-rex) than Metal perhaps but she certainly looks fine .

Lee Aaron, of course, has long been a favourite of mine - I even have her first Jazz album .

 

[Sukerkin]

There will always be a place in many British rock fans hearts for these ladies. Not the most beautiful perhaps (tho' not exactly hard on the eyes) but they stepped up and dared when noone else would in the male preserve of heavy rock:

[Bruno@MT]

They're not bad, but unfortunatley, having a 'country' voice does not work really well with 'heavy rock'.

 

[Xue Sheng]

Joan Jett is not metal.

In your opinion

Joan Jett and Lita Ford come form the same band

 

[Omar B]

I know, and The Runnaways were not metal either. They were punk and maybe you could stretch and say hard rock, but not metal. Now after Lita did do metal.

Arch Enemy's got Angela.

I'd let her leglock me.

I like her ...feathers.

 

[Omar B]

Check out their web site, there's a whole section devoted to pictures of her.

 

[Sukerkin]

:lol: I was listening to the Luchagors clip and thinking "This sounds just like the Clash!" ... then I realised why Sadly the lady might be purty but she's no great shakes as a vocalist (tho' neither was Joe Strummer when it comes to that ).

 

[Sukerkin]

I just listened to a cover of "Rainbow in the Dark" by Benedictum - I would never have expected a voice like that to come from a woman who looks like that!

She reminds me of someone but I can't put my finger on who right now. There're elements of Klaus Meine in there ... got it! She actually puts me in mind of Jonathon Scott out of Q5!

I shall dig out some more of their stuff, for if that cover is any indication I might well like them :tup:.

 

[Omar B]

Yeah, she's damn good. The first time I heard her was a cover of Rainbow In The Dark and you know if anyone is covering Ronnie James Dio's vocals you instantly get the skeptic in me awoken because there's no one even close to Dio IMO. But I was impressed, got their album based upon her performance on a cover that's not on the album.

 

[Sukerkin]

We might be getting into the realm of 'guilty pleasures' now but ...

[Sukerkin]

Amazingly this was the only video I could find of Gypsy Queen

[yt]aHQZFo1ZQ8k[/yt]

I have a tape with Vixen on one side and Gypsy Queen on the other ... one day I must search out some more modern and permanent media examples .

 

[Sukerkin]

Sad but entirely understandable that this band lost heart with the tragic loss of Michelle:

[Sukerkin]

These I actually saw live, supporting Saxon

[yt]kKlMckxzfHA[/yt]

Bear in mind that when they were touring was about 20 years ago, as you can see in the video they still look mighty fine .

Found one that is from an earlier era:
