Flowers In the Attic and 1905 both have female screamers.

Oh but you are a sexist pig.

However I do believe woman have no place in metal, but my motivations are not sexist, because I also believe men have no place in metal... Puh puh ching.











Just kidding folks. ;)

theres nothing stopping women getting involved in metal... but fact is very few are any good at it (hardcore and Avant Garde are a different matter). for most Metal the female vocal range doesnt go well with the music IMO and i hate operaric vocals. There are a few exceptions... but often i dont think it sounds right. As for female musicians, theyre as good/bad as the men, just not as common.


but saying Women shouldnt attend shows is sexist. i am as much a fan of music as any guy i know. pits are childish.

The style of metal is just more masculine, which is why women are not as common at metal shows as guys. They certainly can be there but the style of metal is usually not appealing to females.

true... 'metal' (again excluding h/c and experimental) shows are not appealing to me at all.. too much booze, sweat and testosterone! i dont dislike pits because they're violent, but because i find them incredibly immature.

Just so ya know, I'm usually a forerunner in the pit. If nothing's going, I'll get it going. And at Gigantour this year I helped start a dirt fight. I agree with chicks that stand around though. I mean, I can effing mosh, and these lil twig girls there with their boyfriends get all pissed off when someone hits them. I hate it. I hit one of those girls with dirt on purpose! But girls do get in the pits at concerts.

If you don't think women should attend metal concerts, then you are even more homoerotic than the average metal fan, and that's saying quite a lot.

Overall, it's the pseudo machoness of most heavy metal that really turns me off.

I don't think male metalheads in general don't want the girls to be there, its just that most girls don't like the music so they obviously usually don't go to the shows.

In my personal experience to shows (only two so far), I have seen a lot of women. Though the male ratio was much higher in the shows, the female ratio was pretty solid. Its just the way it is; I Personally wish more girls would get into metal, it gets pretty lame if its always a sausage fest.

Those who don't think girls belong the in the shows need to rethink that opinion.

agreed

Lets face it , if you are a girl and you`ve spent ages getting ready to go out the last thing you`re gonna want to do is spend the night being leered at & shoved around by a bunch of sweaty teenage boys covered in acne.
