Here's some links to some cool videos of chicks that know how to rock. I purposely left both Lita Ford and Joan Jett off the list and went with some more lesser known performers.
Femme Fatale Dang that Lorraine Lewis was hot and was part of two of the most recorded Headbanger Ball videos by young boys.
Cheetah obscure Australian band with two female lead singers
Headpins' Darby Mills had an amazing set of pipes on her. Great great voice.
Warlock and the ever lovely and diminutive Doro Pesch
Plasmatics and wendy O Williams were way ahead of their time. A very performance ridden band. Lots of good Plasmatics stuff on youtube that I recommend to all their fans
Cycle Sluts found out about them on Beavis and Butt-Head
Girlschool great great British girl rock group who does an amazing remake of T-Rex's '20th Century Boy'
I'm lovin youtube more and more everyday
Enjoy

Cristina Scabia of Lacuna Coil is definitely a chick that can rock.........

Swamped is an amazing song. Think I might make this a semi-regular thing I do where i post a bunch of links to youtube videos all sharing a common theme.

When I went to IRON MAIDEN a few nights ago I met a guy there who said to me" You probably dont know who this is but: Dodo Pesch?" and I said "Yeah ! That girl from WARLOCK!" and he said that he had gone to a concert WARLOCK was the opening act for and he was up front with a WARLOCK t-shirt and "Doro's people" invited him backstage to meet her. I hadnt thought about WARLOCK in years....so the next day I downloaded some of their songs. Doro had the same thing going on as Dio: Tiny person , great pipes.
What about L7?

What no Vixen??
"I've been living on the edge of a broken heart..."
Richard Marx wrote this song for them if that tells you anything.
Posted by Straightjacket Sammy Hain (Member # 3150) on :
never was a Vixen fan
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
I actually like VIXEN. Do I think they could take L7 in a fight? NO!
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
CYCLE SLUTS FROM HELL didnt actually know how to play instruments, did they?
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
What about Lee Aaron?
Posted by Straightjacket Sammy Hain (Member # 3150) on :
go find her and add her if you want.
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
When I try to play YOU TUBE videos I never get any sound. Do I have to be a "member" or something?
Posted by Straightjacket Sammy Hain (Member # 3150) on :
I don't think so.
Posted by Elvira Is My Real Mother (Member # 5064) on :
Gotta have Vixen!!!
Posted by Straightjacket Sammy Hain (Member # 3150) on :
Like I said earlier I'm not a vixen fan
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
When I think of chicks that rock, Vixen doesn't come to mind. I never considered them to be all that heavy anyway. They were more hairspray and makeup, kinda like female members of Faster Pussycat.

Where was Lee Aaron's Metal Queen? She rocked in her day. Canadian too.
Posted by Docteure Musique (Member # 5125) on :
Maybe it's not "Rock" but i have to say that The Go-Go's really rocked!!! All the way! They are my favorite 80's chicks!
Posted by Straightjacket Sammy Hain (Member # 3150) on :
Nothing wrong with the Go-Go's just didn't fit what I was going for in this thread, They'll show up eventually.
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
Vixen were kind of overated in my opinion, what about a mention of the totally forgotten Precious Metal? I can't even find anything by them. Anyone remember them?
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
I had one of their cds...but it only had one or two songs on there I liked. They have a greatest hits for sale on AMAZON.
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
The Great Kat, what is she up to now?
Posted by Faith No Motley (Member # 3598) on :
Can't forget about Angela from Arch Enemy either........
Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :
Pat Benetar of course. And don't forget Ann and Nancy Wilson from Heart.
Posted by buffalo-girl (Member # 7498) on :
i love joan jett myself !!!
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
Even though they weren't much a part of the hair metal movement, I would put the all girl group L7. I remember seeing them in 94 at Lollapalooza and being a dumbfounded punter with their aggression and tude.
And thumbs ups too for the great, trailblazing Runaways. I just saw a documentary recntly of them and they were so influential on what came later and deserved a better fate.
Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :
Jennifer Batten can rock on the guitar...she played with Michael Jackson back in the day too....
Suzena Hoff of the Bengals,
Posted by LoverswithCassie (Member # 7794) on :
Speaking of The Runaways, do you think that we could add Lita Ford, one of their members, to this list?
Posted by JAY LEE (Member # 6345) on :
This one......
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
I have all her albums! or was it socks...
Posted by jdocster McFly you Irish bug (Member # 5752) on :
Freakin' full on hottie!!!! SWEET!
How about....
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
The bomb! I have pretty much all the Pretenders cd's including their new on which is good! Chrissie always had such great bangs and the attitude to match.
