Rocka Rolla Women....

I recently saw a “behind the music” on Fleetwood Mac. Drugs, love triangles etc. etc. And it took me back to when I thought Stevie was so hot, all witchy and doe eyed, I’d stare at the little pictures inside Rumors for hours. This got me thinking about the other sirens that were around when I was an adolescence boy with dreams of blondes dancing in my head. I always thought chicks in bands were hot. Suzi Quatro was probably the first for me, of course she was Leather Tuscadaro on Happy Days, not Suzi Q. At the dawn of the decade a new element introduced a new musical medium, the video &  M T.V. Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, Kim Wilde, the totally kick ass Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders…just name a few.


Then I remembered the chick from Missing Persons in her see through outfits and that got me thinking about how nothing is new. Lady Gaga gets all this airtime for being a wacky chick when in fact….its all been done!! And it was done by a kick ass chick in a kick ass band…ladies and germs I give you…Wendy O. Williams and The Plasmatic!!!


Stevie, a siren for the ages....

oh Happy Days...right around the time they "Jumped the Shark"

Suzie Quatro

MTV brought chicks in leather pants into our home!

Ms.Jett

Ms. Ford

More Runaways,( talk about every things been done) I could be a post just on them... maybe I will....Cherie below

so you are saying, "yeah Tank I get it all those girls are good looking, but Wendy O"?

HELL YEAH!!

I still remember the video for The Damned!!! epic!! leather and shit blowing up!!! (see below)

Mr.666 made me a tape back in the day with " Black Leather Monster" on it, man I love that song.

 If you doubt the musicianship trust me it's as good as any metal band and better then most of, if not all NY punk at the time. Gone but not forgotten THE METAL PRIESTESS

this was 1982 so remember, if you see a "meat dress" or a taped over nipple do some research, it's been done!
