Let’s Talk About Chicks, Ja
Yup, for the next wee while, we’re going to be talking about chicks, man.
Now, we like chicks here at GHMI. They smell good, they’re soft to the touch, and if you’re lucky, they’ll put out. However, one thing they’re not so good at, is the Rawk.
So I’ll be firing up a few examples of girls singing, good and bad, for your perusal, amusal and disposal.
And today, we’re talking about Doro Pesch.
I first saw the delightful Doro way back in nineteen eighty mumble, when she was still fronting Warlock, a slightly rubbish, lumpy German metal band. They may have been supporting Iron Maiden, but it was a long time ago.
Fast forward a couple of decades and a bit, and I saw her opening for Saxon earlier this month, and she was fan-bloody-tastic, although I did check carefully for any signs of an invasion, after all the Teutonic shouting and gesticulating that had went on. So here is your metal treat for today. A Billy Idol cover performed by a German metal queen. Don’t say I’m not good to you!
MP3 one – White Wedding

My vote for the worst modern Heavy Metal album cover still goes to “Angry Machines” by Dio, but that one’s competitive.
I hope we’re going to get some Girlschool here, they were a genuinely good band, and Demolition is a great album, even though it tails off a bit at the end of side two. Oh, and Kim McAulife was a ride. There, I’ve said it.

I think it’s safe to say that Girlschool will put in an appearance. Kim was always my favourite and when I ‘bumped’ into her in Glasgow a couple of years back, she was still hot.
She’ll be back in Scotchland later this year, so I’m letting my hair grow and getting some plastic surgery. That way the restraining order will be harder to enforce.
