I'm metal, Shred... 🥰

[@tieukhavu8832]

Hey Scotty! Beam me up. Just kidding. A lot of Girls I know and listen to are definitely METAL!!!!!!!!! Doro Pesch, Girlschool, Ann and Nancy Wilson from Heart (Not exactly Metal, but great Rock n roll music 😉), Suzi Quatro / Bonnie Tyler (The same for them too), Vixen, Floor Jansen, Nita Strauss, Joan Jett, Alissa White Gluz, Lee Aaron The list goes on

[@JoseCastro-nn6br]

Doesn't get any more metal than these two ladies! Truly truly hope they collab on more projects in the future!

[@dan8402]

She can sing clean and it is amazing! The mix kills it. We want more!!!

[@fifis677]

I need them to create an album together. It would be amazing!

[@thescream1868]

that new track is a fucking banger.....it also getting my 9 year old daughter more into metal

[@SILENTAFH]

Alissa sang in The Agonist mixing cleans in alot in their song "Thank you pain". She was a part of that band from 2004 to 2014.

[@shavedyeti2376]

In that band she did swan lake a capella.

[@justinvzu01]

Alissa in The Agonist is better than in Arch Enemy, I'm sorry.

[@shavedyeti2376]

@@justinvzu01 I agree

[@bobbyr]

"The wolf you feed" is awesome. Love the mix of uplifting chorus with the heavy sections.

[@DarthPizza777]

We need more girls in metal

[@45banshee]

Have you heard In This Moment band and all the female Japanese bands? The best of the bunch in my opinion is Band-Maid

[@officiallion9288]

there's a lot more nowadays then 10 years ago

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

How about the Swiss band Burning Witches or any number of Japanese girl rock bands like Love Bites, Mary's Blood, or Band-Maid?

[@UhYeahWhateverDude]

There are tons of female metal leads. In fact, it has become quite the trend. All the way back to Guano Apes, Kittie, OTEP, etc. What we need is more female metal FANS! But instead they all want to listen to Ed Sheeran or whatever current effeminate dude is singing like a girl to a computerized melody at the moment.

[@jasonbodden8816]

In This Moment is shit now. After the first 3 albums they're garbage. But I will say Maria Brink is a badass singer. Great voice. @@45banshee

[@metalhead4433]

These 2 just flipped the script on being more metal than men. These 2 would create a killer album. Nita insane guitar talent with Alissa's intense growls and cleans. EPIC

[@justinvzu01]

This song is absolutely sick, and I mean, Nita literally played for Alice Cooper.

[@MariUSukulele]

Shred: "I prefer tigers myself … but wolves are cool too … " 😅

[@ShredmasterScott]

Ride the tiga 🐯

[@willardtheband]

No

[@holman26]

Love Nita Strauss she can shred

[@MegaSaintAugustine]

I grew up in the 80s, when women in metal were pretty much Lita Ford and Vixen. Times have sure changed!!

[@KaiisKlips]

I heard a bit of slash in that solo as well

[@kronictonic]

Yeah I totally got a slash vibe at the start of it

[@recabitejehonadab2654]

Your analysis of this song was incredibly insightful. You pointed out so many things. Makes me realize how further I really need to practice guitar. You really know your stuff. I subscribed. I’m definitely going to explore your channel !!

[@steveratcliffe2181]

Mostly listen to all female or female fronted metal nowadays. This song kills. One of my recent faves. Jinjer, Arch Enemy, Crypta, Lutharo and a slew of Japanese bands are killing it in metal and I love it.

[@PaulBosenJr]

For the second time, Nita has done a collaboration that just works, and once again she has shown that she is not just a flashy technician, this has soul! As for the stare-down at the end, which one do you think is the Alpha?

[@stephenblack4902]

Lena Scissorhands of Infected Rain, Tatiana from Jinjer, Cristina of Lacuna Coil, Crypta, Alyssa Whitegluz, Lena Strauss, Cheney Crabb, all amazing!

[@Z3nHolEminD]

Doro Pesche of Warlock 🤘 “ ALL WE ARE “ 🤘

[@Juicexlx]

That's a good Metal song. It has everything. Dirt & clean voice on black Metal rhythm guitar & a cool 80's style solo with the drums underneath driving hard. This is a well constructed song. The video is simple, but wicked. Pro stuff.

[@ekatn]

Nita and Alissa are more metal than guys, that's a fact, not a question!

[@dreadedpunk3473]

Well, they aren't more metal than guys, but at least just as much in my opinion. Also, nice to see someone properly react to the technicalities, not just the two beautiful women in this music video. Particularly the bass in the background and Josh's skills on the drums.

[@adam4002]

She sings clean in the new Arch Enemy album

[@Ewright85]

Nita played all the bass on her new album. And the drummer Josh is her husband

[@odoylerules1435]

I think Nita is the best female guitar player in rock music right now. She has perfect guitar technique and very good licks. She was with Alice Cooper for a while and then went to Demi lavato. I think she could be in any band and be a compliment to the band. She did a song with the disturbed lead singer too i think. The song was pretty good I liked it.

[@GilbertClark]

Nice analysis. The past 2 years I've really gotten into women in metal. It all started with JINJER (if Halford is the metal god, Tatiana is the metal goddess) which led to many others including but not limited to Infected Rain, Butcher Babies, Nita Strauss, Arch Enemy, Nightwish, Sumo Cyco, Babymetal, etc. Another band, not really metal but rock, is The Warning. Way before all this of course we had Lita Ford, Doro, Lzzy Hale, Joan Jett, Pat Benetar, Nancy and Ann Wilson, etc. Women have always been instrumental in rock and metal but it seems the past 20 years led by Angela Gossow and Tarja women in metal is becoming much more common and I fucking LOVE IT.

[@pavelspiridonov9443]

Nita does the bass recordings herself btw.

[@Iaminsaneone]

Metal has survived for over 50 years, because it keeps evolving, girls are having a real crack, but! No they do not rule Metal, we all have our favourite bands, I am a Metal dinosaur, hence my favourite bands, are from the 70’s, 80’s, glad each new generation can enjoy, The Metal!

[@nerocaesar8301]

I liked the solo

[@ShredmasterScott]

Nita has been practicing for sure

[@rocklandrevolution2139]

Great review brother! Love this song and video! ::: Metal horns up :::

[@jjrusy7438]

killer track. it blew up immediately.

[@vivaldiadit2949]

this song remains me of As I Lay Dying riff🙂

[@cirenotsluor9999]

Ann Boleyn of Hellion...so under-appreciated \m/

[@Deadhands6]

I think I've listened to this track 30 times since it came out love it 👍

[@davidhersrud5139]

Did you mention ARE GIRLS MORE METAL! You may like to check out LOVEBITES all female metal band from Japan...🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@dg3258]

I have tried to convince Shred to do so, trust me. 🙂

[@jamesmusisca7547]

that first growl curdles my blood

[@TheArchKnight]

You should check Crypta out and make part 2 on this topic.

[@jamesmusisca7547]

arch enemy handshake with hell

[@kronictonic]

That solo was great

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

Haven't heard Alissa sing clean? Did you miss the "Handshake With Hell" video with Arch Enemy?

[@charles-davidcorbin3341]

Is this in like 2 minutes since near mtl its 10h58 or its in couple of hours now?

[@lesterismyname]

Nita has gotten so fucking good. Metal as fuck. Alissa is Alissa. Her growls are strong af. I'd love to see a colab with Nita and Angela though. That would be minty

[@cowboy_mike]

a blueprint metal song of that genre ...

[@nightwishlover8913]

Women more metal? They're certainly better looking!!

[@99imim99]

Not for me, I'm a woman lol. I only like men 😂

[@galerasmussen961]

I think won coming out playing metal its awsome

[@edwardallender7749]

Yes thay have mour drive thay keep it real and with pachen thay can keep up with use

[@fischermann999]

Dude, didn't you listen to the newest Arch Enemy album called Deceivers? Alissa sings some of the song Handshake with Hell clean as a whistle. Do your homework

[@ShredmasterScott]

Arch Enemy blocks so I didn’t review muahaha

[@jackvai2681]

YOU BECOME THE WOLF YOU FEED...LOVE IT

[@back2sqr13]

This could be a Jinjer song as well

[@jasonbodden8816]

Singing clean is NOT a very different sound for Alissa. She's been doing that a lot for years, from when she was in The Agonist. She's even begun doing it on this latest Arch Enemy album as well. When she first joined Arch Enemy she didn't use any of her cleans.

[@Rok_Piletic]

definitely on par

[@awguitarroom8033]

This is exactly what Trivium would sound like if they were women. Its amazing. Love both these bada*s women 🤘🤘🤘

[@jamesmusisca7547]

i'm not trippin on who's better i just soak it all in

[@HeavyMetalGamer45]

Alissa White-Glux and Nita Strauss in the same music video. 🤟🤟🥰❤️

[@bernhardkulzer9125]

Are girls more metal than guys? No. But they are more fun for sure!!!!!! 🤣🤘 And some of them are really much better at growling than the one or other guy... And according to Alissa singing clean, check out Arch Enemy`s "Handshake with hell". Won`t be disappointed... 😊🤘

[@stoneysopranoyukon9398]

Absolutely fucking solid metal.

[@SchrottiJr]

Yep. Girls are definitely more metal than guys. Guys have been stuck with the same uninnovative shit for years, I´m glad they finally get some girls kicking their ass. Btw if you missed Alyssa clean you missed "The Agonist".

[@99imim99]

*EVERYBODY CAN METAL, MALE AND FEMALE. EVERYBODY CAN DO EVERYTHING.*

[@山田次郎-e8i]

great band.

[@darrenbaker3880]

Girls have been kicking ass in metal for a while.Unfortunantly a lot of so called metalheads are stuck in the past

[@salva0922]

Japan is unique for have all female bands in the metal scene. I recommend Nemophila and Lovebites

[@Richard-cq4kv]

Some of the best Death Growlers are chicks right now.

[@mikeivey8471]

More metal ?? Hmm maybe , maybe not but definitely EQUALLY METAL 🤘🏻🤘🏻but absolutely more visually appealing to watch !!!

[@minimalis4601]

ARCH ENEMY🤟🤟

[@nightwishlover8913]

No bass in the video 'cos Nita plays the bass track.

[@thecrossedtheroadfund4289]

Can you play "Trooper" ..? Oops! I mean "Prisoner of War" by iron maiden?

[@jongut9908]

Steve vai , ynwine malmsteen, crearon este gran solo , Nita Strauss , solo fue poseida.🤟

[@jblgti50]

No. But wow is Alissa just amazing. Hot AF. And super talented.

[@godetonter4764]

I can play Trooper, never heard of Prisoner of War . You trying to book someone to perform at your funeral?

Sure she was.... she's in the entire video. (Nita plays bass on her own material.)

I called Great Kat on the phone ages ago. Never met but had her number. She was a little cranky with me, but was actually really cool when she realized I didn’t realize she was on East Coast time, and was just a kid, and was a legit fan.

[@elainewoodard8486]

yes :)

To see Alissa sining clear see these : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqTYmZmFeZyYo6c , kzbin.info/www/bejne/jquslYivi5akbdU . She has an amazing clean voice. Nita and Alissa are my dream collab.

Women are the same if not better than most of the men in metal, jinjer and infected rain are crazy good and there are more than are great

[@gimmeyoshtbtch9571]

That is completely laughable, men laid the groundwork for women in metal. Yeah these bands may be good but they are not groundbreaking in anyway shape or form. Women still have to put in the work men have been putting in for decades. Gtfo with your woke bs

I’m so sick of the Nu Metal trope of vocal extremes- distorted singing with a clean poppy hook. I Immediately dislike those songs. This band is okay. I much prefer Jinger.
