Shout at the She-Devil: All-Female Metal Tributes 

Grace Hershey look up NOFX all their lyrics n names of their albums n songs are puns. Watch their "Oxymoronic" music vid it's probably right up ur alley.

+jhhwild There was one at some point called King, go figure.

Haha

+jhhwild Wouldn't it be more clever if it was King?

Ivan Solano Yeah but Queef makes the 12 year old in me laugh.

/thread

same

+Syzygy314159 Being a logical person I expected there to be" comments are shit" comments written by people who think "fuck logic i'm to lazy or most likely don't have any valid criticism to bring to the discussion"

+Ducksauce Yeah, well I anticipated that there would be comments lamenting the comments lamenting all the shit comments, but I anticipated that I'd type this too, so now I'm lamenting my lamentation of the comments lamenting people lamenting the shit comments. #SuckItJabroni

***** why would i argue? your crowd is full of the proverbial chess-playing pigeons

As a male in this society since I'm not allowed to say what you said I will just agree with you. I'm sure I'm still triggering someone somewhere but fuck em' or butt fuck em'.

There are socio-political issues brought up by these all female bands, though... with rape culture being one of the larger ones. In fact, that comes across as one of the main points of this video. "Feelings" are something heavily influencing the way in which these women are using specific songs to dismantle this male dominated genre. I'm not quite sure why someone would think that discussing these things and being "badass" is mutually exclusive.

+Katie S that's a shame, but you know, i've learned not to have high expectations of people who willingly identify as feminists

MrJPEzra Fuck that shit, say what you gotta say dude- triggered people can eat shit and die.

***** Fuck their agenda, as long as they sound good covering priest, I don't give a shit.

+Zach Ritchie Did you not catch the part where he mentioned that they all do front their own bands as well?

GraveKing3473 Nope, must of missed that part. Point still stands.

Really!? More than Scientology propaganda music???

+Kristopher Poulsen it's a close tie. ;)

+Magnymbus v ignorant

Feminism isn't a monolith, though. One feminist might see something as demeaning and exploitative while another views the same thing as empowering.

+John Harvey yeh

+Chromeremotecottage Cottage This added nothing of value whatsoever to the world. If you want to make a point, then make a point. What a waste of time.

+John Harvey i'm pretty sure you just missed the point. Feminazis are always grabbing the industry by the tits and body shaming attractive women for pandering to the male gaze to the point that most people think feminist and go urg but real feminists, as few and far between as they are, respect a womans choice to sexualize herself and don't do shit like vandalise fitness adverts or harass pornstars

+Osiris Malkovich This is the really important question. Also, +Stadtplage I think Sun O))) is more popular now, but their tribute phase was fairly short, and they didn't achieve their sucess while doing it, so idk if it counts.

+Augusto Flores yeah, same goes for Dream Theater, that started of as a Rush tribute band

Isaak Keidser Flygare I didn't know that, though.

Panic! at The Disco was a blink-182 tribute band originally, and they're really popular on their own merits now. Whether they're (or really he's) more popular than blink is debatable though.

Auroron Well there’s your fork in the road. You can go down the clean, neat path of self-righteous defensiveness or you can go down the unclear and difficult path of asking yourself why this video and topic sets off these emotions in you.

all epic bands!

I guess the fact that they are usually referred to as "all female" does kinda indicate something inherently political about it, not that it's a bad thing of course.

Yeah, I was gonna add a comment about that issue within the "female fronted" community. There's recently been discussion about why that part is specified when you have, for example, bands like Demonic Christ, Abnormality, Morgengrau and Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult that are "female fronted", but do not have any sonic indicator that makes them different from their "male-fronted" counterparts. Or just the fact that it's pointed out at all in any band, whether it sounds like a female or not. The reality is, there's still a market, and there's still people who specifically like the sound of the frequencies often emphasized in the female singing voice against rock or metal. Clearly, we could have a huge debate on that. And neither is necessarily bad, but the fact that the gender difference is referenced may or may not create a statement in itself.

+Miguel Cuervo yeah they rock, your profile pic does tho

+Miguel Cuervo They do write their own stuff! For their non-tribute bands.

+John Harvey 'Cause everyone knows those bands are a thing. Doesn't make a very interesting This Exists episode if it's just telling you about stuff you already knew.

+youngXrocker I'd argue that creating original music is more meaningful than copying someone else's (nearly) verbatim.

+GraveKing3473 I suspect that most people have heard of one or two at most. It's kind of a niche interest compared to the average radio listener.

+youngXrocker I'm aware of that, but he's not holding this up as "hey, here's this interesting thing", but rather declaring how awesome, empowering, etc. it is, and I'm saying that it's much less so than acts that actually have some creativity and originality.

***** Is the message that you don't need to be original when you can just ride on someone else's coat tails? That's the message I heard.

+Brian Jensen Careful, your truth might get in the way of their agenda. :)

+Brian Jensen Punk was for sure an open pit of weird new vibes. The argument in the video is that hardcore closed things up.

This Exists Yeah that's what I was thinking. I was really more trying to preempt the "feminists want to take over punk? When will these she witches leave something for men?!" comments when, really, feminism was in punk the whole time.

+Inter-Galactic Reptilian Cosmonaut lol

Guys, I've accidentally started a punk fight. How do I undo this?

I think slam and beatdown would make a great episode

+PilotAC I think it could be a good starting point into an episode about tempo-based genres

+PilotAC I was/am in a facebook group called "The Wigger Slam" or something like that, because I really dig ignorant music, but a few days ago they changed the name to something related to both slam and ICP, maybe Sam could dig that up. I though it was hilarious.

Deen Gray?

+Elliot Grey Who is she?

+jhhwild Queen day sound's like it would be a punk rock drag act.

***** Yeah, that could work. I'm sure it exists somewhere.

+MutilatedMetalhead Oh hell yeah Nervosa is badass I've been listening to alot of Unleash the Archers lately (not ALL female but lead singer female)

+McTrollinftw I know right? It's like they're holding themselves up as animals that do tricks. Look they're trying to be people smh

Nita Strauss is hot as fuck and an amazing guitarist

+Thom Avella - The MRAs have already ruined the comment section with their cancerous buzzwords, so hope is already lost. BTW, fellow ancom here :3

+Molotov For people who complain about buzzwords, MRAs sure love buzzwords

I think you were too late when you posted this comment. Not-MRA-butts never sleep, they're always ready to fart out some conspiracy theory and follow through with personal insults.

GeoNeilUK "Not-MRA-butts" I usually call them INAMRABs (EYE-num-rabs).

I call them all Kilgraves myself lol

+riew riew Mayfem?

hymhem

Mayfem

And the hair bands like Malibu Barbi and Vixen

+Brie Oathbreaker are really good though, admittedly they are more of a metal influenced hardcore band, but they are still really fucking good.

+Arian hmn I haven't heard of them, gonna check 'em out. Thanks for the recommendation :D

Sister Sin, Sigh(Scenes from Hell onward, mostly the saxophone player. She growls, too. Yes, we live in a world where a black metal band has a saxophone player who growls), Battle Beast, Warlock, Cerebral Bore, Christian Mistress.

Listening to Eight of Swords now, not bad! Sahara Surfers is excellent music too. Also Angela Glossow as Arch Enemy's frontwoman rocked.

I really like Kittie.

+Boo Radley Alright, let's hear em. Has to be at least a list of a hundred.

Kittie, Hyserica, Nervosa, Slovenian, The Heathers... A huge list is out there and most of them are pretty damn good at what they do. You want more? Here is a site dedicated to all female bands www.metaladies.com/all-female-metal-bands/

4:12 "All of these women also write original songs in their other bands" hmmmmm

+Atasco Osage That doesn't make THIS content (the covers) political, though. I could write an entire and thoroughly well researched political essay and then sing the happy birthday to my brother, and my first wouldn't have any effect whatsoever in the second one. I know this is a gross exaggeration, but it kinda isn't.

+KPOT I wouldn't mind seeing this.

+KPOT Is...is this a thing? Can you give me a link? I need this in my life now.

GraveKing3473 Here u go) Neuromonakh Feofan (best example) /watch?v=HNpLuXOg7xQ

/watch?v=thZTZk09Cp4

he recently had a recorded concert /watch?v=5Ac5IvK9Ucw

In this moment and kittie are in my top 10, generally women choose not to make more metal music which I have no issue with.

hiurro Um... the guy's right. It's not that women are not allowed in music industry, they're rather objectified and denied into power positions.
