I'm a guitarist, and I do some vocals. I've even accompanied on my violin once.

... Being a Chick in a Punk Metal band, I can say that it's awesome. You get to wear leather and spike your hair. At the moment, my hair is longer than my inseam. cool You can imagine. And take that neat-o spray-colour stuff that glows in the dark and colour the spikes. It's just fun all around. And I so rock harder than those random, generic, dispassionate vocalists. Vocalists in general are useless. If you can't play something, go dance in back, says I. They couldn't rock my spit valve. pirate

Edit: You forgot Festivus! The Holiday for the restivus!

ya well you kno, that kinda upset me seein as vocalists can be passionate about singing and have meaning without having to play an instrument. maybe their actually more focussed on their vocals because they dont play an instrument, oh n the purpose of havin a band is that there are diff pplz who play diff instruments, that's so that they don't HAVE to multi-task by singing and playin an instrument, sure, theres a choice of singin+playin an instrument and i respect those people but the fact that you don't respect the people who devote themselves to singin dissapoints me

just like a guy as long as they can play and do a good job then it dousnt matter they are guy or girl

I say that if you can rock and do hard I say go for it. I have two girls in my band, best guitairist and drummer I've ever seen. Plus, I find that girls are more creative, both of the girls in my band have come up with ideas and riffs that I could of never thought of. All I have to say is rock on and who gives what the ******** others say. It's your band, your expression, if they don't see that you are the s**t then they are just a bunch of narrowminded a-holes.

i'm creating a heavy metal band that's mostly girls. because i go to an all girls school and i actually found someone who shares my enthusiasm w/heavy metal. i guess i can get some of my guy friends to join as well, if need be.  

[TheUnabomber]

metal girls are hot. metal band members that are girls down right sexy.  

[SUCH HEROIC NONSENSE]

Im a lead singer in a black metal band.
Personally I find it refreshing.

No offence being given... just stating some facts...

The only reasons i wouldn't want a girl in my band:

They usually have short fingers... Im not hitting at your playing, just saying they might have trouble hitting upwards of the 20's on the low E and A strings. This might also decrease playspeed... And shorter fingers means more motion, means more energy wasted, means hands tired faster...

And I could never deal with a chick PMS'ing at me while we were on tour lol


(No offence intended, most is a joke, including the PMS part)

At first, yes, I did have trouble with those strings, but my friends and my teacher said that it was natural. I disagree though. Being a girl doesn't gauruntee(did I spell that right?) that I will have shorter fingers. Really it depends on genetics. Now, I can go kinda fast on those strings.

I'm so not that kind of girl, though. Total tomboy. My first 3 really close friends were guys. One of them is the creator of our band. I wouldn't do that 'cause me and the guys are all great friends.

It doesn't matter what sex you are, as long as you can make some crazy metal music and destroy your guitar, bass, and drum in the process, or something like that you can do whatever the hell you want, as long as I can hear some loud screaming in the process and the word 'Death' then I really don't care, or you can do what slipknot did and have 9 people in the band, then one of them has to be a women, but don't leave her out in the cold, because we would have to kill you!  

[GSA for life]

I think girls in a rock band are awesome. It's like its hard yet there is still something angelic in it. Like flyleaf. They are my favorite band. The has such the prettiest voice but it still rocks if you get what i mean. So if there are any girls in a rock band you go and rock it out.
