Maiden support act announced

[phlogiston]

Based on her myspace page, she's not *that* bad, at least in the studio. Bit of an Avril Lavigne without attitude. Doesn't belong at a metal gig though.

 

[Spiff]

She just sounds like any other girl trying to sing rock. Unless you're Melissa Etheridge, Suze DeMarchi or a couple of others it just doesn't work.

 

[Bucko]

Fuck, is she that bad? If the current consensus is anything to go by, everyone will be at the Brewery until the main event anyway.

yup seems like a plan to me ... or a Pub at Lidcome station or thereabouts . is there one there Gore

 

[Goreripper]

Yeah there's three. Winmar and I had a couple of beers at the Royal Oak before the 06 Grand Final, but they're a little far from Acer (like an entire suburb away). The Brewery is the only place within walking distance. The good thing about the Oak is that it has a 24-hour license. The bad thing is that it's in Lidcombe.

Gee Spiff that's narrowing the field down a fair bit.

 

[Spiff]

Not many chicks can sing rock. There, I said it.

(This is gonna sound weird, and I'm not going to make myself clear, but here goes: )

I think that to be a good rock singer, a woman has to be better than a man. That is, a man can have an average voice and still be a good rock singer. If a woman has an average voice then she won't be a good rock singer. Obviously I'm talking about "rock" voices here. Jimmy Barnes and Billy Idol - ordinary voices, but great rock singers. If you had a woman singing like Barnes it'd sound like cats mating.

There are obviously exceptions though. Bianca Butthole didn't have a good singing voice (at least that I've heard) but she had an awesome rock voice.

 

[Mark]

Yes, she is that bad to be honest -- the only reason she'd ever get a gig this size is simply because her dad runs the headline act. It's that simple. But you all knew that already

: puts on shocked look :

 

[Southy]

if she played tits out, i'd act interested

 

[Stonewall]

but only 'act'

Gee Spiff that's narrowing the field down a fair bit.

yeah but he is pretty accurate.

 

[Spiff]

Correct.

 

[TinMan666]

Essentially she's just another Essex slapper having a karaoke night, except it'll be in front of thousands of bemused metalheads.

this brought lolz

 

[Priest of Evil]

Doro Pesch would be suitable female support act

[Spiff]

Nobody has proved me wrong, though. Sure, some chicks can sing rock, but not many compared to the lads.

Good song, that one. I haven't heard it before.

 

[Shannow]

Haven't heard it before ???:zombie:

It was on T.V. every single morning (for a period) when I was starting high school.

Yes, back in the day, we had music T.V. every morning, that showed at least the top 10.

Suzy Quattro and meatloaf on morning T.V. was a good start to the school day.
