also..if you caught 2nd System back when Troll and Megan were in it..that was a POWERHOUSE group...like Orgy meets Lacuna Coil

for the jazzy lovers

Dana Owens (better known as Queen Latifah...don't laugh...she's got some INSANE cords)

Danielle Brisbois (you can hear her stuff on "As Good as it Gets")

I must be getting mellowed out as time goes by. I used to listen to heavy metal, death metal, gloom, etc for such a long time. Now I am getting into the Gothic, Dark Wave, Electro bands that have female singers like Chiasm, Collide, Lacuna Coil, Mephisto Waltz and others. I like the beauty & beast singing of bands like Lacuna Coil and older Theatre of Tragedy. What other bands out there have female leads?

theres a lot. most are not on major record labels.

ooh i forgot faith and the muse, and inkubus sukkubus on my list. i frequently listen to them.

both therion and ayreon has had many amazing female vocalists. mostly ayreon due to the composer hires his band mates just for a album. but therion has always had amazing female vocalists. even there gothic kabballah has one, i cant remember names thou, sorry folks

I forgot them. I have all of their CDs. Too bad they aren't around any more.

I've been looking for MP3's or CD's or something. I was really into them in the nineties, until I met them. Thenn... not so much. The girls seemed actually afraid of me. Big crush to my male ego. Stopped listening to them all together then.

Anyone know where I can get MP3's of em?

I'm just not really all that into female singers... I don't really know why.

Let me recant that comment...

It's not that I don't like female singers... There are some who amaze me, and I love them (Handsul und gretyl, for example), but the thing that disturbs me about bands fronted by female vocalists... They can be mediocre vocalists and will still get noteriety because they are women and useually really super hot women.

Let me see one band with a but ugly female vocalist doing well... never happens.

Of course, I myself may not be able to talk. I'm sure that a lot of people listen to Misconceived because there's a black guy singing, who happens to be Super Hawt. Bothers the piss out of me when people come up and request that we do songs by Living color, Sevendust, Body Count and Killswitch engage, but that's a topic for another discussion.

I love all the ladies who have done tracks with Massive Attack...amazing voices there. Dead can Dance's Lisa GERRARD has a amazing voice.

How rare is it to see a black female lead singer in a heavy metal band?
target="_blank is such a band. It really surprised me to see a black female headbanging. She has a nice voice when she's not doing that death metal growl type singing.

Skunk Anansie has reunited for a few UK gigs. Unlikely to do anything beyond that, though. :(

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
