Why do guys think all girl bands suck?

[freakoffherleash]

Im in an all girl Death metal band and i think we're pretty damn good but where i live all the guys down here think we should step down and get the hell out of the music buisness what the hell is that all about!! :mad: but what do you all have to say about that

[original_psycho]

I hate girls.

[sk8ter-hater]

what do you all have to say about that
Get them doughnuts.
Men love doughnuts, xcept the ones that don't.

[nitropenguin!]

Girl bands do not suck! Well.. the majority of them do *cough*The Donnas*cough*
Check out Magneta Lane, Canadian girl band. You'll realize some same sex bands do have a chance! Also, in my opinion, the local (non-commercial) girl bands are the best kind! So don't listen to those asses, they have no idea.

[Jebus]

Why do guys think all girl bands suck?
because they simply all do.
There's some cool bands with female singers but all female bands I've so far suck.

[sk8ter-hater]

What about Otep.
They're good.

[SkunkIt]

Tell them to suck your invisible female dicks.

[Iddy]

female musicians think to be good they have to act like guys... this 'what guys can do we can do better.. rarrr' stupid feminist attitude.

women are different to men.. girls trying to act like guys is just... *insert word that best describes it to you because i can't be bothered racking my brain for vocab just now*

[Sausageman]

freakoffherleash, send me a demo of your band :D

[The Talking Pie]

Girls can rock hard. Any chance of an MP3?

[killboypwrheadjx]

are u a juggalette?

[dexterisMYman]

i like girl bands like hole and lunachicks r 2 really awsome grl bands

[fairy call]

I know guys who like girl bands (distillers, does that count as a girl band?)

[intothevalleyofdeath]

women arent meant to be metal...unless theyre bulldykes

[Nrk]

Lunachicks are pretty fucking cool.

[jerkec]

women arent meant to be metal...unless theyre bulldykes
that's bullshit! They can rock just like boy's. If they wan to they may play. Actualy i never heart a fuly girl band, but i heard bands were girls sing or play guitar or even drums r bass players.

[saska de o...]

i agree.... only this

to be honest i think that all girl bands suck too, and i'm a girl.

not that i would dismiss a girl band merely because they're girls but, from my experience, all girls bands i've heard suck.

[saska de o...]

Noodles, are u girl?? :eek:

[Noodles is gay]

Noodles, are u girl?? :eek:

yup, sure am! :D

[saska de o...]

The worst fucking bands out there consist of girls. I highly dislike all chick bands and I hate female metal vocalists just as much. It's not natural for a chick to be up there grunting/screaming. That's the only time I think us chicks should bow down to our feminine side. Then again I'm being slightly hypocritical I'm in a band, I play guitar/sometimes bass although I'm the only girl in the band, but being a guitarist/bassist in a band where the rest of the members are guys is different. Most people that have seen/heard my band live don't know I'm a girl. I stand farther back and I keep my head bowed down. In my opinion, chick bands should be banned. I have quite a few problems with those of the same sex as me and some may say I'm sexist against my own sex. Which is probably true, quite a few of them are retards who never deserved to pop out of their mothers.

[SkunkIt]

Even The Soviettes and Blondie?

[dexterisMYman]

i luv the Soviettes

[Panzerfaust92]

I like Tic Tac Toe.

The song, "Ich find' dich scheisse," rocks my socks.

[dexterisMYman]

tic tac toe?

[Jojan]

It's hard to think that they don't suck when they do. There are good girlbands also.

[dexterisMYman]

a lot of girlbands r cool. but u dont hear alot of them

[MaaQhimself]

because they simply all do.
There's some cool bands with female singers but all female bands I've so far suck.
true. except this finnish band Tiktak. they rock! :D

[fairy call]

a lot of girlbands r cool. but u dont hear alot of them

I know a bunch of them

[dirtybird]

Has anyone heard of Tsunami Bombs? They're singer is female, I don't know about the rest of the band, but they're pretty good! Garbage only has a female singer as well, but they're my second favorite band.

[KRITER]

there was one song with female on vocal with billie joe, I think It was penelope huston, quite nice

[offspringrammsteinfan]

Im in an all girl Death metal band and i think we're pretty damn good but where i live all the guys down here think we should step down and get the hell out of the music buisness what the hell is that all about!! :mad: but what do you all have to say about that

Can I have laugh please! I don't think every girl band sucks. But I do think every death metal band sucks.

[MaaQhimself]

yeah. agree. its not about the sex. EVERY single death metal band sucks. :D

[fairy call]

Has anyone heard of Tsunami Bombs? They're singer is female, I don't know about the rest of the band, but they're pretty good! Garbage only has a female singer as well, but they're my second favorite band.

isn't it tsunami bomb?
yeah i know them, im gonna see them in a month or so, on groezrock.
oh and it's only a female singer.

[offspringrammsteinfan]

yeah. agree. its not about the sex. EVERY single death metal band sucks. :D

Yeah, who ever invented that stupid noise has to be hanged up. Only the name already: Death metal? I wish it was death but it seems to be alive as hell. It's even worse than those good charlotte shit freaks.

[Daan P]

Girlbands dont suck,
I just never seen a good girlband... :rolleyes:

[Omni]

I like a few "Kittie" songs. If anyone has forgotten about them...

[The Goth Guy]

Well.....whenever a guy hears "girl band" he automaticly thinks "dick sucking" so thats why we say "girl bands suck".

[Zack]

I think some girl bands are cool like Kittie. There not bad!

[lost_nvrfound]

kittie sucks ass... so does death metal... its fun to thrash around to sometimes when im really fuckin hyper, but other than that, the music sucks... most all girl bands suck ass too... but i don't automatically rule a group out just cuz its all girls

[foxy]

Why do guys think all girl bands suck?

because they do

[T-6005]

Why do girls in death metal bands think that when guys say they suck it's because they're female?

It's because they're death metal.

Only kidding - maybe it's because you guys suck. No offense. I'm absolutely not saying you do. I'm just saying - it's a possibility. Otherwise they are sexist freaks.

On another note, I almost never want to hear someone screaming, but aside from Courtney Love, who sounds like a man, I can't stand women screaming.

[fairy call]

There are lots of girlbands that don't scream really....even good ones

[nameless]

the problem ive got about all girl groups are the ones that constantly create barriers that arent there, saying nobody is taking them seriously because theyre women in rock etc. then theres the others who think by flashing at people is gonna get them noticed!

there are plenty of all girl/girl frinted bands who i listen to, the people that matter will listen to any good music no matter what!

gender isnt an issue!

[bones]

there's an all girl band that we've played with a few times called the Skanks and they're ace.

[JohnnyNemesis]

Le Tigre puts any band you're about to metion to shame. And they're a great feminist girl band.

The sound of my neighbor's cat chopped up in a blender is more tolerable than Kittie.

[nitropenguin!]

Hey... Kittie is a pretty good band! Grr.

Le Tigre =/ TKO! *cringes*

[JohnnyNemesis]

TKO sucks. Deceptacon, This Island, FYR, and lots of other stuff...that's where it's at!

[fairy call]

Do bands with just a female singer count?

<3 dresden dolls!
and distillers, fabulous disaster, devotchkas, f-minus, jack off jill, the muffs, the slits, vice smuad, menstrual tramps, ...all good

[lost_nvrfound]

The sound of my neighbor's cat chopped up in a blender is more tolerable than Kittie.

[samr]

Stza is looking for a chick vocalist for his upcoming band.

check it out.

Do bands with just a female singer count?

<3 dresden dolls!

no. because that would include Tristania, Nightwish, etc. and Dresden Dolls are too... too... too fucking alternative.

ANYWAYS.

post an mp3, will you?

[Toxic Speed Bump]

I don't like punk girl bands. they allways got to prove their punk status in their first song.

[Jimbob2005]

Oh dear. my sister likes Kittie (they suck!!)

[Flexing Wings]

Wait, are we talking bands formed ENTIRELY of chicks, or bands with chicks in them? cuz i'm sure we all realise there are some FUCKING awesome bands with chicks in...

Sure this isn't a sexist thread, will chill...

Actually yes i agree (GENERALLY) with that statement... but i dunno if that makes them ALL crap... it's not fair to judge them all on the basis of bands like Kittie, let's be honest now.

And i still think it's a shame that all chick bands are singled out for that reason... as so far the ones that i've heard don't really represent the population of female musicians... maybe it's something to do with the chemistry of all being chicks???

[Flexing Wings]

I don't like punk girl bands. they allways got to prove their punk status in their first song.

And i sorta agree with that, but i think it's inevitable... as it's such a male dominated scene at the moment....

[kaze]

There's one really good chick band around here, great fun to watch and they write some really awesome song. We need more good bands.

I have to admit the majority of chick bands are pretty aweful. I'm female and I prefer playing in a band with guys they don't argue with each other about stupid little things.

[Miletic]

all full girl bands do suck and the baddest ones are always metal wanna be chicks sorry girls its just the way it is use dont have the voice or drum playing skills needed cause all girl drummers look like there straining there asses off to keep a sympol beet trust me watch a film clip with a chick playing drums they sit realy striaght and like hold there sticks realy tight

[Miletic]

i was expecting a picture of someone realy drunk i got someone realy ugly

[irishpunkrockgirl]

Alot of girl bands suck. me and my friend are creatin a band but were worried people will think were shit wannabe punks(like the faders(SHITE!)). if we can were gonna try get a guy drummer and maybe another guitarist. but i must say i dont listen to any girl bands. but the smashing pumpkins have a girl...is that a girl or just a guy who looks like one and theyre pretty good.

i just think everyone is sexist.

[Moose]

not all guys hate girl bands...but the reason a lot of guys are turned off by girl bands is simply because they cannot relate to them...it is hard to listen to a no doubt album when it is all about the guy she broke up with and then saying i think you'll make a good dad, its just hard adjusting to it and getting into it...obviously then the question becomes why do girls like guy bands...well one is because you re more used to hearing those kind of songs from that perspective, and two i think certain artists make a conscious effort when they write certain songs about a girl, they do not always use the word she or her, but use more general terms that way all can relate to it, plus i could be wrong, but i think guy bands lyrically write about a number of different things, while girl bands are mostly stuck on one topic.

plus some guys dont hear the same strength and energy in a girl's voice or whatever they seem to be looking for in their music, but i think a band like the lunachicks can probably literally kick most guy bands asses in a fight, especially ones like saliva...but then again...when the lunachicks have a song about their period its kind of hard to always go along with that as a guy.

its a different sound with different lyrics and may not be what the guy wants to hear...that may be some reasons to why no one takes girl bands seriously or just dont like them, i could be wrong, but whatever.

[Flexing Wings]

while girl bands are mostly stuck on one topic.

Stuck on one topic? Have you ever listened to The Distillers, Hole, L7, or My Ruin? There are many similarities between the lyrical contents and any other male-fronted bands in their genres, as it’s the life experience… which for chicks doesn’t ALWAYS revolve around males and periods… maybe if you’ve only ever listened to mainstream bands with female vocalists I’ll let that comment slide, as you’d most likely be right, just as every other male band is capable of the same superficial and monotone concepts. Need I list some of the classic greats like AC/DC and other such male bands from that era who based their careers on a content of hell, drinking, women and rock ‘n’ roll…


plus some guys dont hear the same strength and energy in a girl's voice or whatever they seem to be looking for in their music, but i think a band like the lunachicks can probably literally kick most guy bands asses in a fight, especially ones like saliva...but then again...when the lunachicks have a song about their period its kind of hard to always go along with that as a guy.

This part of your statement makes me wonder if you have ever listened to a female sing at all. I mean granted, in some bands with female leads the vocals aren’t screaming or blasted, but don’t you think Portishead, for example, would sound fucking stupid if Beth Gibbons screamed? And considering male fronted bands in the same genre such as Radiohead, sing in just the same manner… And of course there is Brody Dalle of The Distillers, who rocks the vocals just as well as any bloke… Dammit there’s another melodic metal band with a chick singer, and in my opinion she is great BECAUSE she doesn’t scream… dammit that was a really good example, can’t remember the name… anyone? LACUNA COIL... yeah.


obviously then the question becomes why do girls like guy bands... one is because you re more used to hearing those kind of songs from that perspective, and two i think certain artists make a conscious effort when they write certain songs about a girl, they do not always use the word she or her, but use more general terms that way all can relate to it, plus i could be wrong, but i think guy bands lyrically write about a number of different things,

This part of your argument almost made me reconsider saying anything at all… I mean if you honestly believe that then there really is no hope for you at all. You are entitled to your opinion of course… but I just think that maybe you should listen to some of the bands listed above and then come back and see if you still believe the same thing… I’m sure many more people can add other bands with chicks in to make the list longer and better…


its a different sound with different lyrics and may not be what the guy wants to hear....

I hope for the sake of the progression of music, AND OUR SOULS, that this is not true. Otherwise audiences are 50% (if not more, dunno what the average dude/chick ratio any audience is...) ignorant and close-minded… NO GOD NOOOOO.

[original_prankster]

I know some good bands with girls that are the lead:

Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Distillers
Garbage

Not all girl bands are bad.

[Brines]

The Donnas aren't bad.

[Moose]

flexing wings i was jsut trying to come up with reasons to why guys blow of girl bands...im not saying they are true or not...it just seems possible that guys blow off girls in music the way they do girls playing sports...even if its good, they will never try to listen or watch it, such as the wnba...i havent heard enough girl bands to make a statement on all of them, however like you said, popular girl fronted bands, such as no doubt, turn a lot of guys off...and as for the power in vocals...its all a connection with the brain thats all...doesnt mean it isnt powerful, it just doesnt get a teenage guy going to lets say metallica's "one" as a girl could get going to "just a girl"...i mean, i cant put any facts to this, i was just trying to bring about some ideas to why a lot of guys simply dont even girl bands an honest try...i mean i myself dont go out of my way to listen to girl bands...possibly because there arent that many on my radio or tv for me to be enlightened by them...either way i was just trying to get some reasons to why guys may blow off girl bands...

i think it some ways its true...guys, as most humans, are know it alls, and my ways, and assumers, and all that...so it wouldnt be surprising if many guys would assume a chick band isnt for them, because its a girl writing and playing the music, specifically writing the music...it may sound stupid or babyish, but thats how a lot of people are when it comes to these things...im not even saying for myself, if someone i considered credible with music taste told me to check out a band, i wouldnt care if it was a girl band, im just saying there is something in a lot of guys that say "i wont like this" and simply do not give it a chance...thats really it.

[Flexing Wings]

it just doesnt get a teenage guy going to lets say metallica's "one" as a girl could get going to "just a girl"...i mean, i cant put any facts to this, i was just trying to bring about some ideas to why a lot of guys simply dont even girl bands an honest try...i mean i myself dont go out of my way to listen to girl bands...possibly because there arent that many on my radio or tv for me to be enlightened by them...either way i was just trying to get some reasons to why guys may blow off girl bands...

I understand what you are trying to say, and first of all I should clarify that I was not trying to make a personal attack, it's just that naturally as a female guitarist and writer, the idea that people wont check out my music cuz I'm a chick is apalling... you know?

Also I am a huuuuuuuge Metallica fan, and I appreciate the music for what it is (I should post a link or somat to my impending ' Why Metallica are great' blog on myspace and maybe this will elaborate for you) and so I find it hard to understand how the gender of a writer is really relevant...

Also (again) proportionally I'm into more male fronted rock bands than female fronted ones... So I find it hard, though I think I understand, to really get to grips with it, unless people cannot open themselves up to the lyrics and music without just think "eew chick, fuck that shit in the head..." etc...

[Flexing Wings]

its all a connection with the brain thats all...

I don't agree with that at all... how I see it is that some people are lazy and closed minded and can't take the time to really give something a chance.

[notoriousdoc]

People think that girl bands suck because most of them do

[notoriousdoc]

Cheeky girls anyone?
Spice girls, b*witched?
All saints, girls aloud ( the sluts who are always in fights)

[fairy call]

no. because that would include Tristania, Nightwish, etc. and Dresden Dolls are too... too... too fucking alternative.

ANYWAYS.

a teenage guy going to lets say metallica's "one"

Just realise that I have been incredibly stupid... I forgot that a teenage boy's memory and connection to losing their limbs in the torment of war is so much more potent than a girls... funny that considering I actually studied war literature and probably caught the most vulnerable expressions of the pain and strife... yeah.

[Flexing Wings]

People think that girl bands suck because most of them do

At least Moose had the capacity to see his "ignorance" on the subject.

[SplinterByMyOwnDesign]

idonno, some girl bands are ok.... the band im in has a chick drummer, she's cool (probably wont be our drummer if we find a guy that can drum better than her, no hard feelings)
also i think people like see'ing guys rock it out rather than a bunch of chicks..

[Flexing Wings]

also i think people like see'ing guys rock it out rather than a bunch of chicks..

*Sighs* If you don't care about ability, passion and musical message, and would rather judge purely on superficial elements... then you're not half the musician you think you are. Especially if you choose to catagorise the difference between visually being good and bad using a band's gender.


the band im in has a chick drummer, she's cool (probably wont be our drummer if we find a guy that can drum better than her, no hard feelings)

I do think that if you find a better drummer then naturally that would be the choice, and anyone who blamed you for that would be a moron... but AGAIN, was bringing the drummer's gender into the equation really necessary on depicting that persons ability??? Especially since the discussion is in full swing with people who are going to be fired up by that statement.

Ergo. Gender should have fuck all to do with how good or bad a band is.

[JohnnyNemesis]

Flexing Wings: In my opinion, comments as incredibly stupid as the ones that person made don't deserve the kind of respect you gave it. He said outright offensive, ignorant, and just plain stupid things, and I would've responded with the same kind of disrespect. I can't believe how people like him think!

[wheelchairman]

( the sluts who are always in fights)
Sluts? Honestly, what gives you the right to call them that? Have you seen them have sex with a lot of people? That'd say more about their sexuality than theirs.

The term slut is ridiculous, it should be a good thing that girls aren't frightened of their sexuality anymore. Unless of course they are nigger sluts, cuz dat spr3ds da aids n da shit.

[offspring kid]

Im in an all girl Death metal band and i think we're pretty damn good but where i live all the guys down here think we should step down and get the hell out of the music buisness what the hell is that all about!! :mad: but what do you all have to say about that

Seriously there is no point with IGNORANT WANKERS like that, better to just let them miss out on experienceing some good music.

And there's no point in bringing up legend bands like Pixies or Smashin Pumpkins to their attention... as they'd probably be too moronic to realise that liking those bands in any way would completely expose them as hypercritical and fundementally STUPID.

And guys, isn't there an anus somewhere you need to be plugging?

[That Punk Kid You Love]

Oh let me tell you this,there are some good girl bands.Even though Im a dude I like KITTIE,some of The Donnas,The Pussycats are extremly hot I mean I don't like their music but hey,umm trying to think of others.....Oh well. *passes out*

Seriously there is no point with IGNORANT WANKERS like that, better to just let them miss out on experienceing some good music.

And there's no point in bringing up legend bands like Pixies or Smashin Pumpkins to their attention... as they'd probably be too moronic to realise that liking those bands in any way would completely expose them as hypercritical and fundementally STUPID.

And guys, isn't there an anus somewhere you need to be plugging?

I was just showing how offspring kid's reason to hate girl bands was stupid too, don't you understand anything at all?

[Sin Studly]

Im in an all girl Death metal band and i think we're pretty damn good but where i live all the guys down here think we should step down and get the hell out of the music buisness what the hell is that all about!! :mad: but what do you all have to say about that

Blame sexism, then you won't have to come to terms with the fact your muslim sucks and you're all talentless hacks.

[jasofern]

*Bangs head against brick wall* I think I prefer this method of killing brain cells...

Can't you see how that totally proves the points I have made and reiterated throughout the course of this WHOLE FUCKING THREAD.

Do I really have to spell it out to you? Again.
well if ur getting so pissed off at people who are stating their own views, its like u WANT to lose brain cells. seriously, what does that say about you? clearly we dont have to spell it out to you again

[Flexing Wings]

I was just showing how offspring kid's reason to hate girl bands was stupid too, don't you understand anything at all?

I wasn't attacking you.
I was trying to tell you that I agree, but that it's futile trying to explain.
The last 2/3’s of my argument was aimed at the offspring kid. Backing you up.


well if ur getting so pissed off at people who are stating their own views, its like u WANT to lose brain cells. seriously, WHAT does that say about you? clearly WE dont have to spell it out to you again

Firstly. Where the fuck did you come from? And what does this ‘ we’ mean?

And WHAT exactly does it say about me?
That I'm passionate about this subject, being a female musician?
That I perhaps wanted to show people that there are many decent bands out their with females (probably including many we ALL know and love, like Pixies and Pumpkins) who obviously have just as much right to be heard?
That I perhaps wanted people to understand why gender should not be a factor in music?

Yeah you're right man, maybe it does say a lot about me. And maybe I should just fade into the background and leave you in your blissful ignorance ey?

[Flexing Wings]

I really cannot believe that it's even necessary to say some of these things.

But to Fairy Call, I am sorry if I didn't make myself clear.

[fairy call]

That's probably my fault, excuse my stupidity :o

[Flexing Wings]

That's probably my fault, excuse my stupidity :o

No worries, I wasn't really clear... and I was getting really pissed off with repeating myself, but I felt kind've obliged having gone this far, guess it was my way of saying 'save yourself while you still can...' but I appreciate the support... :)

[Apathy]

The Special Goodness' bassist is a girl. They're still good from the two songs I've heard.

I'm not a fan of female singers though.

[Amanda]

True i can't say I know very good examples of all girl bands(if anyone has any suggestions i'd apreciatte it), but that does not mean girls can't rock. Thing is there's still alot of prejudice against women in the music world, like unless youre half naked and singing some lame comercial music, you'll have no success (I blame idiots like Britney and Christina for that label). So I'd say fuck the morons who are trying to put you down, what we most need are talented women who are brave enough to do their thing, in spite of what others think.

[calmallamadown]

im a girl, and i think all girl bands suck. they're all awful. well, all the stupid girly bands i've heard are awful. its just not right, theres no point. a guy with a high singing voice sounds a lot better than some girl trying to sing. i definitely wouldn't choose to listen to a female vocalist, but i don't think singing is really the main concern in a death metal band anyway.

[calmallamadown]

sorry, that sounded a lot more bitchy than i intended.

[Skip91]

sorry, that sounded a lot more bitchy than i intended.

it sure did

[calmallamadown]

it sure did i know it did, but when im on here i try to make sure my messages don't offend people. and i'm sick of doing that! so i thought i'd say what i believe, for once!

[edit] = PLUS, i'm very bored and i wouldn't mind a fight, lol ;)

[marco84]

girls bands are grat! i love kittys.....but maybe i don't know how to write it....nothing matter...the fact is that if a guy can be a goog guitar player why a girl can't?....so...yeah!...
ps: girl bands...give it away to me...i want you!!!!ahahahahahahahahah!

You are a traitor to your sex, and your ignorance makes you worthy of nothing but a very painful DEATH.

[calmallamadown]

LOL! someone's in a bad mood today! :rolleyes:

[offspringintenselyrock]

I'm very ashamed and guilty that I don't seem to like girl bands. I don't know why- I just don't like their voices. Although I love Garbage. Strange I know

[iflogmymolly]

Girl bands are ok. I'm just to hearing guys playing.

[Flexing Wings]

I know this thread keeps getting bumped back up to the top, but I really do wish that people would take the time to read through the thread... before they get people needlessly fired up again...

Edit:

LOL! someone's in a bad mood today! :rolleyes:

And how the FUCK is your ignorance funny to you?

Read the thread. All of it. And you will understand.

To Offspringintenselyrock; I personally think that you should never feel the need to be ashamed or guilty for your taste in music, you like what you like and that's just the way things are...

The only reason that some of the previous comments provoke such a cryptic response is because they are offensive and ignorant.

[JohnnyNemesis]

Flexing Wings, check your PMs. The idea that all girls bands suck is so stupid that I refuse to respect this thread by staying on topic.

[Flexing Wings]

You're totally right.
This thread diserves to die.

But I do at least understand why I was totally wrong by thinking that your comments to me aaages ago were unsolicited. All I can hope is that that conversation didn't put me on a par with some of these assholes, or I have at least somehow fucking redeemed myself.

(And cheers for directing my attention to that... hadn't noticed at all!)

[DougieD]

I enjoy the company of girls, aswell as a select few 'girl' bands. Dresden Dolls are amazing, I love Tsunami Bomb, ...Spice Girls were pretty sweet too.

[TuRb0]

Anyone who thinks ALL girl bands suck desserves to have their fucking face kicked in. I agree that just about all girl metal bands suck but there are MANY great grrrl bands out there. I also think that a large majority of Commercail( aka major label) girl bands suck but bands like BIKINI KILL and BRATMOBILE Roxx my soxx :D

[T-6005]

You are a traitor to your sex, and your ignorance makes you worthy of nothing but a very painful DEATH.

You absolutely need to calm down instead of getting fired up like that.

Anyways, since this is a thread where no matter what opinion I give, it'll probably get yelled at, I don't mind girl bands, I suppose. Although that's not really correct, since I never think of whether it's a girl or guy playing the instrument, and although I have to NOTICE whether it's a guy or a girl singing, I never really think about it. I don't see why it should matter. If I think a voice doesn't fit the music, then I won't listen to it, whether it's a male or female voice.

Endless growling and screaming sounds as ugly from a girl as a guy. But that's a different opinion. My musical opinion is not going to be based on whether the person is a guy or girl per se. If a girl sounds like shit, then she sounds like shit. If a guy sounds like shit, same thing. It just sounds shit.

Point taken, but I still would have to ask if you read the whole thread... then maybe you'd understand why my patience totally ran out. You'd also know already that I agree with your mentality 100% and am relieved to hear it... :)

[prettyontheinside]

female musicians think to be good they have to act like guys... this 'what guys can do we can do better.. rarrr' stupid feminist attitude.

women are different to men.. girls trying to act like guys is just... *insert word that best describes it to you because i can't be bothered racking my brain for vocab just now*

(hello i am new btw so be gentle with me..)

ok there might be a few shitey bands like that (won't name names in case i offend on my first post...)
but what about the whole riot-grrl thing?
None of them acted like men, they steered as far away from male-dominated rock as they could, and there were so many fucking brilliant bands that shot from it. In fact some of the bands super-feminised themselves, like in Hole and Babes In Toyland: Courtney Love and Kat Bjelland (Kinderwhore- babydoll dresses, Mary-janes, pretty hairslides, etc..) looked so pretty and girly but you could be sure they'd take a man in a fight.

I also think that lyrically women usually surpass men (they've got more to be pissed about so it's quite heartfelt) but there's a few exceptions..

[LOdAT]

Im in an all girl Death metal band and i think we're pretty damn good but where i live all the guys down here think we should step down and get the hell out of the music buisness what the hell is that all about!! :mad: but what do you all have to say about that
gIRLS GIVE ME COOTIES

[prettyontheinside]

They should give you herpes too.

[Flexing Wings]

I also think that lyrically women usually surpass men (they've got more to be pissed about so it's quite heartfelt) but there's a few exceptions..

Unfortunately I cannot support that statement (although everything else was all the bits that I'd overlooked in my plight... and on some level I do agree with you).

I believe that turning the tables and saying women are better at something than men (however rational and logical the argument could potentially be) would completely defy and discredit everything else previously said...

Gender shouldn't be an issue, and people should be encouraged to take music for what it is, not who did it... and that includes the positive generalisations.

[Offspring-Fanatic]

Girl bands do not suck! Well.. the majority of them do *cough*The Donnas*cough*
Check out Magneta Lane, Canadian girl band. You'll realize some same sex bands do have a chance! Also, in my opinion, the local (non-commercial) girl bands are the best kind! So don't listen to those asses, they have no idea.

hey the Donnas are pretty good.My brother heard the beginning of Fall Behind Me, and he thought it was a guy band.

[T-6005]

Gender shouldn't be an issue, and people should be encouraged to take music for what it is, not who did it... and that includes the positive generalisations.

Amen. Well, an equivalent of Amen that fits an agnostic person.

^ Cheers dude, I'm quite proud of how this thread has begun to attract like-minded people... rather than simply some of the assholes that come on just to wind people up...

I'm glad I stuck to it... people like you make it worth the aggro :) *beams*

[TuRb0]

Im a male and Bikini Kill is one of my favorite bands up there with the sex pistols. I dont think sex or race should matter just the music :) and anyone who thinks different is a redneck faggot rapist :p .

Haha, well, I'm honored. And I'd use one of them ridiculous emoticons - the one for the wink - if I didn't think that emoticons were ridiculous.

Anyways, we've covered that I don't think gender matters.

Aside from that, I have yet to find a girl rock band I like. I'm not afraid to say that I loved Courtney Love's song "Mono", but that I hated most of the album - but I still believe that that's due to shitty songwriting. Not that I consider myself an amazing judge of songwriting, unlike a lot of guitar players. Haha, but would it kill my credibility if I said that I was a huge fan of "Call Me" by Blondie or "Gimme Gimme Gimme" by Abba?

I think that the voices in those songs fit beautifully. They aren't my favorite songs ever, but I still really like them.

Ah what the hell, I can admit to an eclectic musical taste. Even if I'm going to be considered a pussy by a lot of people on this board for not being hardcore enough. Haha - I love Muse, The Living End and The Offspring, so you could say I'm in search of a pretty unique sound rather than really liking anything. And don't try telling me that the keyboard solo in Call Me isn't awesome and doesn't make you want to dance.

MAJOR EDIT - I just listened to a few songs from The Eyeliners. And like them quite a bit.

[Flexing Wings]

Hehehe *loves* Blondie rules, and me and you can take down any asshole who wants to argue!!! (I mean oops, sure we'd respect the opinions and be fair and stuff... but really...)

80's pop/rock has played such a big role in the influence of modern rock (Cure, etc influencing so many bands like AFI) that I find it a shame that so few of the female fronted rockbands seem to be influenced by that style... I'd love to see a modernised revival (if such a thing is possible) of that female pop/rock sound...

*plots* Maybe that's where I'll make my mark...

Of course we'd respect people's opinions.....

And I mean, everyone's bound to be influenced by the past. Rock music is relatively new when you think about it, and possibilities of expanding in that genre are going to shrink as time goes on.

Course, that might be one too many beers talking.

Anywhere I can check out any songs your band has (as long as there's no screaming, since I almost always hate that)?

[calmallamadown]

for goodness sake aren't i allowed an opinion :rolleyes: i can't be bothered to quote, but i have read the whole thread thankyou very much. :rolleyes: and my ignorance does amuse me. if it didn't, i'd be a very unhappy person.

[T-6005]

aren't i allowed an opinion

Obviously, as long as you don't dislike Blondie.

Duh.

[Flexing Wings]

Err, well we're still under construction at the moment, so there's nothing on line yet, but hopfully when I get up to uni recording will be so much easier (music buddy lives near London, I'll be going to Kingston)...

And hahaha no, there will be no screaming. I don't do that, it would sound awful...

But I gotta jet, PUB, drink... etc...

[T-6005]

Lucky you - I'm stuck alone, drunk in a room in Malaysia, doing nothing with my time.

I want to go drinking with friends. I miss that from Tokyo.

[greek]

in my opinion girls don't have good voice for rock songs... i may like a girls band but not the band's songs

[The Darkside Has Cookies]

Aren't girls supposed to suck at one time or many times in their life?

[T-6005]

Aren't girls supposed to suck at one time or many times in their life?

What the hell makes you think they're supposed to? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever read - it's the most idiotic generalization ever.

It's like saying that the each member of the human race is supposed to have one or more children - simply because many do doesn't mean it's necessarily supposed to happen.

And I realize that that was a shit argument, but I can't be fucked to think of a better one, although I know they're easily available.

[Dead Poetic]

I think girl bands are hot because then it isn't like a sausage fest up on stage.

[noodlesfan]

Girl bands are just like guy bands,but a lot of them suck because most of them are only starting a band because they think they need to prove something. Just like guy bands, some suck and some dont. There are just more guy bands; hence, more variety of sucky bands

[element4lif3]

i think this is so because MAINLY but not in all cases.. guys stick to listening to guys and girls stick to listening to girls.. with exceptions of course.

[fairy call]

I wouldn't say that, I think most girls actually listen to guy bands, could be because there are more guy bands than girl bands, but still...

[Rancid_Guyxxx]

Girl bands are just like guy bands,but a lot of them suck because most of them are only starting a band because they think they need to prove something.

I know what you mean, and I agree to some extent. Some girl bands just start a band to try and show the world that they can do what guys can do, but that shouldn't be the point, they should be starting the band because they like music.

[dextermyideal]

poor girl, they think that 'cause they're jealous!!!

[pretty fly 88]

I'm a guy and I don't think all girl bands suck. Has anybody ever heard of Evanescence? They have a girl, and they're awesome! I don't know if they're all girls or if just the singer is female, but they were my favorite band until I found out about the offspring(although excessive radio play is probably the biggest reason they're not my favorite band anymore). I've never heard their cover of self esteem but even if it does suck, punk is not Evanescence's style. They still rock at their own style. Also, Garbage has a female singer, and now they're awesome! Their new album is one of the best albums of the year, even my dad likes it. Not only that, I also them live at HFStival, and not only did I think they were awesome, everybody I know did, regardless of age, gender, etc. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are okay, too. The Donnas also are good. And I've heard some good female songs on the radio that I don't know who they are by.

Scarlet Sinner, you can just post that in a topic of your own - it'll probably get more people clicking on the link and after all, pimping is what this forum is for.

Not all girl bands suck...........Take Le Tigre for example (ok not teh best example but fuck it) they dont "Suck" but i'd listen to them if In dier need to listen to music

[coke_a_holic]

Why is this thread still alive? The answer was already revealed to you: Girls have a genetic disorder that doesn't allow them to create music worth listening to.

I hope for your sake that's sarcasm, Mike.

Hey, It's fine. I haven't been to HFStival at all, although I'm only 14. I was going to go last year, but I couldn't scrounge up the money for a ticket. I live in Kensington, I'm not sure if you know where that is, but it's literally right by Bethesda.

[Satanic_Surfer]

The following lyrics speak for themselves and are taken from a song called "Count Me Out" made by the swedish Hardcore Skate Punk band Satanic Surfers:

"...Compare them to eachother
say they sound the same
but if we take a look at your record collection
that excuse is pretty lame
'just another girlband'
is a stupid point of view
listen to their words
and you might learn something new"

"To express a thought or what you feel
isnt that what music is about?
If you decide it's not
Please count me out!"

Im in an all girl Death metal band and i think we're pretty damn good but where i live all the guys down here think we should step down and get the hell out of the music buisness what the hell is that all about!! :mad: but what do you all have to say about that

continue doing what you do as long as your enjoying it! you say yourself your pretty good! have the guys actually said they want you out because your an all girl group or did you just assume that?! ive heard some really good all girl groups but too many go about complaining nobody takes them seriously because they are "women in rock" etc. nobody is that shallow to dislike your music because of race/gender, its all about the music!

[judenihal]

Hello freakoffherleash,

Let me express what I feel about Girls band. Well, I am a boy and I listen to music from both boys and girls.

Some music I really enjoy are music composed by girls, I think the majority I enjoy are from girls more than boys. Well, there are songs made my girls which sound very girlish. This really irritates me and spoils the tune. Sure the music is good, but the girlish part makes me hate the song.

The Spice Girls make REALLLY good music, but really, their vocals and their style is very girlish, but their musical eliments are still good, enough for me to listen to personally and think of their beauty. Still not something that should be set for standard.

Atomic Kitten makes intreresting remixes, but half of them are songs they copied. However, they sound better than the originals in my opinion and the originals are boy bands. Except for one song they composed, their songs sound girlish, so I don't really like their music, but because of their one song and the songs they remade which sounds better, I am a great fan for them.

Now about Boy Bands, they are good and I like them, back in the early days, they are good. I write my own songs and produce them, so I am considered a boy artist, my songs are good. A lot of boy artists like David Gray makes good music back in 2000. Now, the only thing bad about boy artists is that they sound like emotional teenages and annoyingly, girls like that and their boyish tone. The Jonas Brothers and All American Rejects is a great Example. I hate Gives You Hell because of that one reason, otherwise, their tune is good.

Quite honestly, I rather hear the annoying teenish voice from the girls voice, it would be funny that since I am good with music, I can invite Nick Jonas and Tyson Ritter over just to reproduce a girly song with their teenish voice, that would be funny and interesting. :)

Not only are girl bands bad, metal is bad. I can guarantee you I will hate that album. I'd like to clarify, I can't think of a single enjoyable 'girl band'. Female artists on the other hand, or bands with females in them, are a whole different story.

Being a girl band doesn't automatically mean you suck... I think the problem is that, when girl bands first started being a thing, girls were forming the bands to prove a point - not to make good music. And most of them couldn't play their instruments to save their lives. But things have changed... and now there are good girl bands amongst the rabble. :)

[Apathy]

haha, i love how no one even gives the guy flack for bumping a five year old thread.

I will say this: I have nothing against girls in bands. Who cares what gender they are. However: all-girl bands tend to be gimmicky. If the band was really created with the intention of making music then I'm all for it. But it seems like many (not all) female bands have the intent of doing just that, having an all-girl band. Which detracts from the actual music and succumbs to gimmicks.

Some really popular bands have girls in them, Smashing Pumpkins people don't even seem to realize has had 1 or two girls at any given time. No Doubt is an obvious success story, and lots of people (eugh) seem to like Flyleaf. But it seems like these two bands are known for being...that band with the chick singer.

My point is that unless you're stupid, no one just inherently thinks all-girl bands are bad. It's just that there is rarely any good ones because many are started for purposes other than actually making music. I can't name any bands I like that are all girls.

Edit: to the person above me: I like a few songs by the Soviettes, but I was under the impression they have a guy in their band. And they do. This is an example of a band doing it right. It's clear they didn't form an all-girl band because they wanted to prove they could. They just ended up with 3 girls and a guy, and they sound good doing it.

haha, i love how no one even gives the guy flack for bumping a five year old thread.
Didn't even notice it was bumped, ha.


I will say this: I have nothing against girls in bands. Who cares what gender they are. However: all-girl bands tend to be gimmicky. If the band was really created with the intention of making music then I'm all for it. But it seems like many (not all) female bands have the intent of doing just that, having an all-girl band. Which detracts from the actual music and succumbs to gimmicks.
I assume you read my post, because you said that nobody said anything about the thread being bumped... yet I said pretty much exactly the same thing :-P

Holy mother of fuck, Kittie is STILL making music?!

[nieh]

Not only are girl bands bad, metal is bad. I can guarantee you I will hate that album. I'd like to clarify, I can't think of a single enjoyable 'girl band'.

Sleater-Kinney are pretty badass. They're kinda like Fugazi mixed with early B-52s.

it's weird that this thread was bumped because I for some reason had it pop into my head yesterday or the day before.
