Black Sabbath Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 So typically I don't care for female vocalists with rock music, but these guys are pretty good, honestly. Not to mention Taylor Momsen is hot as fuck: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broskirose Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I like a lot of their stuff. The songs released from the new album so far are bad though imo. And Taylor tries too hard. But she has a fucking great voice, and I enjoyed their sets opening for Guns a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 This is from L'Arc. I remember Axl being with a blonde when he came out to sign autographs afterwards before heading back to the hotel. Looking back, I wonder...I like Make Me Wanna Die and Zombie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I don't hate it, but I wish it had more groove to it. It just seems more or less a NUrock band with a stripper as a singer. Ya she is hot, she's the only part of the band that is any good imo. The actual music does nothing for me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Good for Axl if he put it down on her. Edited February 15, 2014 by xGNRxSTARx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicguns4life Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 She's really not that hot and she's a classic example of someone who tries to be really hot. She's fine, but she's not as hot as they make her out to be. She's got more of a stripper sort of look, which to me just isn't very attractive.And their band is basically the quintessential example of a band getting fame solely because the singer is a female and because she was already semi-known. If this band was made up of nobodies, you would NEVER have heard them. And for good reason. They haven't done anything thats above being "decent" in quality and I haven't seen them do anything that makes them not just merely look like a vehicle for this girl to explore. I'm happy to not have had to catch them live with GNR, but I've heard them talked about in other circles and listened to the music. It all seems like its trying too hard to be dark and they have yet to write a song of any actual impressive quality. I'm surprised they've gotten as far as they have already.

I liked OP's YouTube videos a bit better than the live performances. What really bothers me about the band is that its a hard rock/new rock band, centered around her, not the guitars or the band in general. By making herself the focus, she degrades the musical quality, IMO. Rock bands are about music, not scantily dressed blondes who are barely of age parading around like they own the place. Attitude is cool, complete self-absorption is not, this is why I like a lot of Evanescence's stuff; they're a band, not an objectifying little girl with a microphone, and some musicians who were undoubtedly inorganically tapped for the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) But then again none of the original Evanescence are still with Amy. It's just her and whoever she's hired.Halestorm is much more what you want to cite in terms of a band environment, and lineup stability.

I like some of Halestorm's stuff, I don't know, all of this new rock is has a weird heaviness to it that I don't like. Don't get me wrong, I like heavy stuff (Megadeth, Maiden etc.), but there's very few bands out there doing true hard rock in the style of Guns, VH, Zepp, Triumph. Taddy Porter had a great first album, Silvertide too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard Evanescence, although I know them, but everything I've always been exposed to has been about the lead woman (apologies that I do not know her name). So I kind of see them as similar, except that The Pretty Reckless is for all intents and purposes fronted by a little girl. I feel creepy watching her lift her shirt, but I wouldn't have any problem with Evanescence doing it because at least she's an adult who can form her own opinions.Overall, I'm glad not everyone is overwhelmingly positive towards them, and I am sorry Omar that you were subjected to them live. Thankfully, aside from GNR, they have not opened for anyone I have seen live so I've been lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H. Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 They're just another bad band that has to dust up publicity by their singer getting naked.Honestly I don't see how people can bash Miley Cyrus for being an attention whore and then go and listen to this band.

I mean just look at their album cover.... it's just her naked with some tattoo. Pretty similar to what Miley Cyrus did with that Wrecking Ball shenanigans (I think? I don't follow this stuff so correct me if I'm wrong). It's not like the musicians in the band suck - they're solid, but it's just so clearly not an organically formed band.

Dan H. Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) They're just another Nu-metal cock rock band that exists to get slathered onto your local MODERN RAWK radio station in between Shine-Down and cuts from Death Magnetic.The only reason people like them is because Cindy Lou-Who is sexy now.That being said, I would drop my cock in that like a drone strike.

WhazUp Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 She has a decent voice and I remember liking their rendition of Fiona Apple's 'Criminal'But in terms of modern female rockers I am much more of a Grace Potter fan myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlslash Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Taylor works with what she's got. She's an attractive young woman, and she knows how to get attention. No question there. But I dig the music. They're fun and have a cool energy. Not a favorite by any stretch, and I wouldn't pay much to see them live, but I love Going to Hell and am looking forward to the new record.And yeah, Miley is an attention whore, but she's also remarkably fucking talented. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good live show, not only for the music/performance, but the eye candy as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scumcat Esq. Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I discovered TPR back in 2010 when they just had an EP out and I've been following them since then.By now they've become one of my favourite acts. Hopefully they won't fuck it up.I saw them live at Tuborg GreenFest in 2011.P. S. Edited February 18, 2014 by Scumcat Esq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
