Rock 'n' Roll Women!

[parakitaMol.]

Thread for celebrating the awesome women of rock n roll.

---

>>> Rock 'n' Roll is used in this context as a phrase, or a generic term. So for those confused by my inclusion of St Vincent, (no idea why because she's great) this thread includes *any* genre.


I'll start with St Vincent - Digital Witness

P.S my thread, my rules.

Beth Hart - I'd Rather Go Blind
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YocdeZCSaYQ

I saw her on tour in Spring this year at Sheffield (seems an awfully long time ago now), she was truly excellent, a real tour de force. About halfway through the gig though she got twenty seconds into one of her signature tunes in silence, then said "I've forgotten the fuc*ing lyrics"


This just has such a dirty sound...
Joan Jett - I Hate Myself for Loving You

Transvision Vamp - I Want Your Love. Wow! Wendy James - She doesn't want our cars lol..!

Juliette Lewis (and the licks) -

Saw Juliette Lewis supporting Foo Fighters at Hyde Park and she is fantastic live. Here's one of my favourites - Love to Kill

Got to agree with you about St Vincent.

I don’t know if you could say they qualify as rock as such but for me:

Beth Gibbons:

Florence Welch:

Some of their stuff I like, some I don’t but I think she has a great voice, plus she does justice to a Fleetwood Mac song.

Awsome live, bit cuckoo, is she rock though!?

Nita Strauss is one of the best live guitarists I've seen. Has been in Alice Cooper's live band for the last 5 years or so.

I’m not sure if she qualifies or not either, agreed she’s great live though!.

That Florence video just doesn’t sound right to me, is it the key or is she out of tune?

To me I think it’s more that there are two vocal harmonies in the original and I know what you mean, if you compare it directly it does sound a bit off but on its own merit I think it’s a decent cover.
