ALL FEMALE ROCKERS!.. | FIRST TIME HEARING Vixen - Edge Of A Broken Heart REACTION

[@finbarrsaunders]

So nice to see Vixen featured here. I was fortunate enough to spend some rime working with them back in the day when I lived in Minnesota and I can tell you they're all lovely ladies and extremely talented. Roxy Petrucci is a beast of a drummer and Janet Gardner has an absolutely incredible voice. I am privileged to be able to say that guitarist Jan Kuehnemund was a close personal friend, a fantastic guitarist and an all around beautiful human being. Her loss was a great and painful tragedy. I cried a lot, think of her often, and miss her terribly to this day. Vixen were somewhat written off as a lightweight label-created band and not reallly taken too seriously back then. An unfair criticism in my view. They are all extremely talented musicians and never really got the credit they deserved. RIP Beautiful Jan.

[@kevinsmith4429]

Beautiful sentiment.

I wish I could have met them all especially Roxy and Jan

[@Ronald-k6s]

I was looking at this comment and I thought Wait a minute that's the Drummer Roxy. I was in the Navy (1977-1990) when I bought Vixens Albums. I saw a girl (5) with her mom with Kiss makeup on and talked to her and she said her daughter likes Kiss since she saw them on Scooby-Doo and she liked the drummer. So she brought her a Drum Set. I told her the names of bands with Female Drummers and to look up their videos because Women can Rock just like the guys. Fanny, The Runaways, Vixen, The Warning, Liliac and more. Rock On Roxy.

[@truthcanhurt4800]

I had such a crush on you. Saw you guys a couple times and was just fixated....lol. I'm 52 now and STILL think you're smoking hot. 😘

[@davewildermuth7519]

So the iconic all-female rock band you should know about is called the Runaways. The guitarists were Joan Jett and Lita Ford. They were a late 70's punk rock band. I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan; I don't think the music has aged well. But if you want to check them out, the song you want is "Cherry Bomb." Not too much other female hair metal out there, but there were a few more notable female-fronted bands in the 80s: Scandal, "Goodbye to You" Till Tuesday, "Voices Carry" Quarterflash, "Harden My Heart" Berlin, "The Metro" The Pretenders, "Middle of the Road," "Don't Get Me Wrong," "Back on the Chain Gang" I am so thrilled you did this song, by the way; enjoy the weekend!

[@steveweller3899]

@Dave Wildermuth, megadittos to all you said and then some! Can't go wrong with any of those ladies and I really love Quarterflash and I'm sure Jay & Amber will too! The Pretenders, now, the lead singer/songwriter Chrissie Hynde is in a class all by herself and the whole band plays tight, clean and with feeling. To get a sense of just how fun they are I'd say *"Middle Of The Road"* is a great intro followed by any of their tunes though in *"My City was Gone"* you feel what she feels, more than a bit somber...*"Brass in Pocket "* I first heard being lipsynched by a teenybopper actress on *"The Greatest American Hero"* all those gears ago... Great suggestions and Thanks S.W.

Back in the 80's big hair and platinum blondes were the shit but to me the drummer, Roxy Petrucci was my favorite. She was already my favorite of the band, and I think my guitar teacher knew that, so that's how I met her. She was awesome! I was probably 16 or 17 but she made sure to give me some flirtation. I was in Heaven! She was so cool to me! I met the other women as well. They were all really nice to me.

As you've noticed, musical tastes changed in the early 90s, moving away from glitzy hair metal and toward edgier, more experimental rock. The alternative rock movement of the early 90s produced a number of notable female-centric acts, including the Breeders ("Cannonball"), Veruca Salt ("Seether"), Liz Phair ("Supernova"), L7 ("Pretend We're Dead") and Luscious Jackson ("Naked Eye"). All are worth checking out, if you ever wanted to move in that direction.

and dont forget one of my favorites from the 90s, Fiona Apple. there was also Jewel, Joan Osborne, and Sara McLachlan.

[@poguemom3]

Cryin’ is another great song of theirs!

[@raymondott6100]

Female hard rock drummer? Check out Skillet. They go pretty hard. Jen Ledger kills the drums with singing. The band is actually a Christian rock band that can jam with the best if them. Some songs Hero Monster Awake and Alive

[@chriso6719]

Jen kicks ass. Awake and Alive definitely. I think it shows her role the best.

[@scapito]

Hero is a great song!

[@mozzetti1]

Love Skillet. Awake and Alive is my favorite. Jen is awesome! 🥁

[@glennwatson8826]

I saw them as one of the opening acts in Germany at 'Super Rock 1990'! I'll never forget that weekend... The whole concert was amazing, but these ladies had the crowd mesmerized; first time most of us had seen an ALL female Heavy Metal band.

Speaking of MOTLEY CRUE... react to WILD SIDE and pay close attention to the drum solo ( upside down) ??? Yep. Thx.

[@ajruther67]

Wild Side was done months ago

[@kellimartin2454]

Not by Rob Squad that i can find. Do you know the date?

[@ruthparker9756]

If Wild Side was done, then Live Wire

[@ajruther67]

@@ruthparker9756 That is one of my favorites. Red Hot too.

Yess! How much love by Vixen is another good video. The drum setup alone is worth checking out lol

[@Kilroy-h5u]

You want hard core Drumming. you need to check out Sheila E. "The Glamorous Life" serious drumming and Princes girlfriend for awhile.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

I love that song

[@melanielucas4155]

Jan Kuehnemund was the lead guitar player, unfortunally she passed away in 2013 from cancer. She was so taleented and beautiful RIP Jan. Also FYI when you see the guy with the Poison jacket....That is actually the drummer Rikki Rocket from Poison. He was friends with Vixen and made a cameo in the video.

[@thomasjones4570]

For Hard core female bands you need to look outside of America. Japan has more than a few all female hard rock/metal bands with good followings like Band-Maid and Lovebites. Lovebites is more power-metal/speed metal while Band-Maid is Hard Rock/Metal. Both of them have a lot of videos of their live performances also so you can see them raw.

[@thefuzzman]

You forgot BabyMetal! Lol

[@yelnek4548]

Band Maid - the songs Freedom or Domination

[@thomasjones4570]

@@thefuzzman Actually no I didnt forget them. Odds would have been that they picked one of their newer songs and be turned off to Japanese music since their new material is garbage and also Babymetal is not all female, the musicians are men.

[@latherslick]

Ok you guys. Esp Amber. RINDY Ross. From band Quarterflash. Lead singer and plays SAXOPHONE.Lol number one hit in 1981. GONNA HARDEN MY HART. Can't wait to see both of your expressions.

[@michaelmacdermott6340]

There's an all girl band that is recently starting to become famous. They are called"The Warning". They play 70's, 80's, to 90's style rock. They are all sisters and are so good they were asked by Metallica just recently to do a cover of one of their songs for Metallica's anniversary album. They teamed up with Alessia Cara to do their version of Metallica's "Enter Sandman". I'm surprised you haven't reacted to it yet, cuz many have. HERE: Alessia Cara & The Warning Enter Sandman new cover: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6WugpqbqKiWisU

[@marybloody615]

I send them a suggestion for that along with Alessia's big hit Scars to your Beautiful

[@marybloody615]

That is beyond a cover version, they made it their own

[@markbell4982]

I have begged so much for The Warning it's ridiculous. I don't think I ever begged my mom this hard for the new X-Man or Spiderman comics when I was a kid and I begged for those hard lol.

[@michaelmacdermott6340]

@@marybloody615 yep! If you read, what all the bands were asked to do, was "To cover any song of their choice, but make it their own as a tribute". So yeah, they rock it there way, same lyrics, different order, but then at the end they bust out the original rif and drum fills to totally play tribute. Very tastefully done. Don't you think?

[@joel.6359]

Plush is another great new all female band!

[@davidnickle9887]

I saw them in concert in 1988. They rocked .You need to do some more Vixen!!

[@toddwoods582]

I was 16 when this came out and Janet Gardner was everything a 16 year old young man could imagine and dream about. Absolute prefection.

[@1teamski]

Vixen was extremely talented and underrated. I went to go see them several years ago when Janet Gardner was still they lead singer. They really rocked.

[@callelindstrom4341]

Glad you checked out Vixen. Other good songs are ”Cryin’” or ”Love is a Killer”. Another female led rock band is Warlock (or sometimes knows as Doro after the lead singer). Check out ”All We Are” or ”I Rule the Ruins”.
