@...compasseagle89:
Hmm, after watching the video gim posted, I think I was thinking of another band. That’s too poppy for my tastes. Shit, I’m not sure who the fuck I was thinking of now.
pipes? they are admittedly hot, but they’re just screaming. and there’s nothing special about screaming. I like the music (and vocals), but using the word “pipes” seems like a word reserved for someone who can actually sing.
on the other hand, chick singers in metal and punk bands have moved a long way away from sounding like Siouxie (and the Banshees) – who I could not stand.
and at the risk of sounding even more sexist (and troll-ish) and starting some kind of internet word battle…. there’s just something about metal bands with girl singers that seems weird to me. the anger seems anti-feminine.
of course that contradicts everything I’ve ever experienced with the women in my life so I’m not sure why I feel that way… I guess because I grew up in an era of cock-rock and posing (which I also couldn’t stand) and is, in retrospect, sort of feminine. so really maybe it’s just the natural progression of things and I’m stuck in the past…
@...RSIxidor:
i havent watched the video yet, but the new singer, annette, is a lot more “poppy” than tarja was. tarja was incredible, and a huge reason why i fell in love with the band in the first place. i have also found that i kinda have a soft spot in my heart for opera, for whatever reason.
@...compasseagle89: Have you listened to Dark Passion Play? They kicked Tarja a couple of years ago and hired a new girl. Marco sings on several tracks (a fact I think was involved with Tarja’s leaving) and I think they really pulled things together.
@...Denmarkian:
likei said, its a little too poppy compared to when they had tarja, but dark passion play is nonetheless incredible. i saw that tour in san francisco in november 2007. it was a lot of fun. pre and post tarja have pros and cons. i miss tarja, but i think i could get used to annette. shes just different from the nightwish i was introduced to.
not a fan of tatts but crisis is hot. just crisis, not the tatts.
tatts are like the mona lisa with a armband, the canvas is perfect don’t paint over it
Where’s Tarja Turunen of Nightwish?
Who
Who
Who
Who
not being a dick. I have NO idea who any of those chicks are at all.
Girls that lead metal bands, at least the first two are, I don’t know the second two.
Nightwish has a chick vocalist? Never knew that.
Also, I was like, “THERES NO FUCKING PIPES IN THIS PICTURE!”
Missing (I don’t bother with names right now):
In This Moment
Lacuna Coil
On the pop-ish side:
Paramore (The twilight songs were bullshit)
Hey Monday
yuck
the last lady is the lead singer of the power metal band Epica. I own all of their albums, they are AAAAAAAAWESOME.
@...RSIxidor:
how did you NOT know that nightwish has a female singer?? marco barely ever sings…unfortunately. i like the songs that he sings in.
actually, i dont blame you. most people havent even heard of nightwish. they are freaking awesome though! 😀
@...Gilez: Fuckin right Lacuna coil! Cristina has got to be one of the hottest chicks in rock/metal…
Seriously, go check out Nightwish on youtube.

so to sum up:
yes, yes, yes, and definitely yes.

arch enemy is my favorite band right now… that chick is fucking awesome!

joodles, do you have tattoos? you’re the hottest chick on mcs. please say no. and please dont say yes but it’s tasteful. ugh…
Personally, I prefer Within Temptation to Nightwish. Sharon den Adel is really awesome! 😀
angela gossow is the babest of the babes.
Go to Pandora and set up lacuna coil as a station and they will play all of these bands. Thats how I found out about them.
@...Vent: I feel the same way about Gossow, but Simone Simons is without anger and perfect in every way.

This post does not appeal to me.
The voice of the new lead in Nightwish really doesn’t compare to Tarja’s imo. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard anyone with a voice like hers 🙂
@AtomicDragon: agreed. I never listened to her until after I posted that last night.
@...gimmeethebeat:
She’s out being a cunt.
And Arch Enemy’s singer is more manly than all of you.
I HAVE HUGGED SIMONE SIMONS! BITCHES!
what about Evanescence?? Amy Lee has an amazing voice.
