Who would you say was the first female to front a real metal band?
Was there anyone before Doro Pesch of Warlock? Warlock was founded in 1982.
Not talking about Joan Jett or Heart, but real pure metal.
 
Not for the faint hearted...

Cool

Edit: Sorry, didn't notice that this was about the *first* female vocalist of Metal ... but she's surely one of the first really extreme vocalists of metal.Big smile

When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

I forgot about Girlschool, they formed up in the late seventies.
Arch Enemy is probably more Peter Rideoutīs cup of tea<img <img

That Burning The Witches song is quite poor. I've just realised she sounds like Twisted Sister's Dee Snider when she sings

Burning the witches isnīt one of their best numbers. I donīt think she sounds like Dee Snider at all.

I'd put girlschool in the Joan Jett category, not quite fiull on metal. About as close as I care to get, personally but are Girlschool or Joan Jett or The Runaways Metal?

Maybe Lita Ford when she went out on her own in '79
