Metal Chicks - Fret 2

Now that we've seen who the first was. It's time to look into why? why did it take such a long time for a band to make it big with a woman in it. We've seen that there's been girls in bands since the mid seventies, possibly earlier though, but really i think it really comes down to open mindedness. Us blokes tend to be a bit sceptical of women's abilites in things we excell at, probably cuz we can't really do things that Women are good at very well ourselves. Jealousy? Probably.

So really unless girls decided to join up and make a band together like Girlschool or L7 there weren't really the same opportunities for Women to join bands as men had. Then factor in the amount of bands that start out to the amount of bands that make it, then add a handicap that record labels would be afraid to invest in, promote and explore new territory and you have the reason it took so long, the maths were always against women plain and simple.

So Sean's success with White Zombie not only influenced more Women to pick up an instrument, but opened up mens minds to the fact that chicks that rock and appreciate others who had been in the business for years!
