Female metal/rock singers

[omega 616]

I have just been on a paramore video (I have no idea why 'cos I don't like them) but I rad this comment on it "A rock band with a girl vocalist. AWESOMEEEE".

My immediate reaction was "that is clearly not true, there are loads like ...." then I blanked, I could not think of a single example. I do know there was a female guitar player in coal chamber though.

So feeling like my ipod is a just a little bit of a sausage fest I am asking you lovely people to recommend me some good female bands.

The thing is I have a very fussy musical taste, I the very heaviest stuff I like is hatebreed, so no cannibal corpse. My fav groups are slipknot, dope, seether, soil, mushroomhead ... anything around that kind of area.

Edit: Just thought of Pink and Avril but they are too ... pop-py for my taste.

There was a thread about a month ago (maybe) that was about a very similar topic, I recommend that you look there. Just look for "Women who Rawk" in the search bar and you should find it.

Really? I always have off topic and gaming discussion open at the same time and constantly refresh them. That one must have slipped by my radar, the little bugger!

I do apologize but I think I should be let off 'cos I never posted a single ME3 thread (tehehehe).

 

[Mayhaps]

Joan Jett, Within Temptation, The Sounds, Nightwish.

That was my thread.

There's some really good stuff in there too.

[Dante DiVongola]

In This Moment, Straight Line Stitch, Arch Enemy, Lacuna Coil etc.

 

[Tanis]

Garbage
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Otep

Beyond that...eh, not much that I care for.

I don't know of many but that's because I don't seek them out. I'm not too big a fan of female singing when it comes to rock, yeah yeah yeahs are the only exception I think. Anyways, more power to them and if they wanna rock that's great but I just can't stand most female singing over rock music.

I like how both of these threads have carefully avoided the mention of possibly the most obvious female rock band: Courtney Love's Hole.

... Sorry, did I just say a naughty thing? >_>

EDIT: Incidentally, ignoring the whole 'Courtney Love' aspect, I actually really like Hole. Yes, including her singing...

Well, I reckon there's definitely some good ones out there, although often they fall into a same-genre trap; for example, I personally think a lot of female-fronted symphonic metal bands sound similar because they take the gothic route, such as Nightwish, Sirenia, We Are the Fallen, Within Temptation and Evanescence. Not to imply those are bad though, but I do like to look for variety as well.

Firebrand Super Rock are a pretty new female fronted heavy metal, they're definitely good. The music sounds like a combination of classic metal with a Zakk Wylde-style guitarist (the influence is really strong in the solo, I feel)

Spoiler: Firebrand Super Rock

More female fronted heavy metal in the form of Lita Ford, also a talented guitarist

Spoiler: Lita Ford

Nota Profana are an amazing example of symphonic metal done differently than the norm, although to say they have a female singer doesn't really do justice to the band. They are an orchestra who compose sublime metal.

Spoiler: Nota Profana

More insanely good symphonic metal here from Pythia - this song has the added distinction of a poetry reading by Brian Blessed at the end as part of the track.

Spoiler: Pythia

Here's an ace power/heavy metal I discovered the other week, Triosphere

First band that popped into my head was Arch Enemy.

 

[Rainbowloid]

I was just thinking about making a similar thread. I'll have to keep an eye on this and check out the previous one.

Anyway, If you're okay with your music not being in English, I highly recommend exist trace. They are an all-female Japanese visual rock band, and Jyou has such a wonderful voice.~

 

[DevilWithaHalo]

Flyleaf, Fireflight. Pretty sure there's one more that's escaping me that hasn't been mentioned yet... but I drawing a blank.

 

[Blunderboy]

Kittie, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Crucified Barbara, Lacuna Coil, Amanda Fucking Palmer to name but a few.

Oh Talena.

 

[Vegosiux]

Tarja Terunin

It's Turunen. *Death glare of doom, hissing, and all that*

As far as Nightwish goes, the new girl isn't bad, she's still leagues better than your average female modern music star, but, uhh...Tarja left some shoes behind that Anette could never fill. It's plain impossible.


Captcha: evil genius *rubs hands, twirls mutache, snickers like Dick Dastardly*

Some Halestorm videos in here

Lzzy Hale

Very, very cool person.

I've seen them 3 times, will be seeing them again in May.

After the first time I saw them(2009 I think), I saw her walking by me and said "great set". She thanked me, then asked me if I wanted a shirt and a CD. I didn't refuse, and we spent the next 45 minutes talking and enjoying the next band.

The next time I saw them, almost a year later, she recognized me and stopped to talk with me for a bit before they got on their bus. I've got pictures of us from both times.

Super cool people.
