LolaRose Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) Hey, I'm the lead singer of Rocket Queen - a female fronted guns n roses tribute act based in Coventry, UK. We've been around for about a year and a half playing at student venues and local pubs n clubs, but now an agency have decided to take us on things are getting more serious! Some people may find the idea of havin a female Axl a bit strange, but it seems to work, we've always had a great reception from crowds. Just thought I'd put up this post as a bit of free advertising, and to get some feedback.To listen to our demo, go to http://www.rocket-queen.co.uk/ Let me know what you think! Next gig: The Kef, Aberdeen, Scotland Saturday 29th April Edited April 11, 2006 by LolaRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nameless_girl Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) Sounds very good! Yep I listened to your version of Sweet Child O' mine and I'm pleasantly surprised after seeing all the rubbish people usually post in this section Edited April 11, 2006 by nameless_girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genia Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) Hey. Thanks for the comments Much appreciated and glad Sweet Child is to your liking. For an extra special comic treat do check out the pictures from our first gig to find out what slash would look like as a skinny, pale man with glasses, a beard, an affro and a hat hanging on the side of his head at a stupid angle. (ie he'd look like a clown). Thank god for the updated costume. Enjoy GeniaEdit: Apparently no pictures on the site at the moment ... theyll return though.

LolaRose Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 (edited) Thanks everyone! Glad you like it. The photos of past gigs are back up now, it was undergoing some much-needed maintenance.So no-one thinks it strange we have a female singer? We got a load of abuse off a guy on another band forum once cos he thought it was a 'silly gimmick' and doubtless of whether the music sounded alright or not, he said it just didnt look right so we should pretty much give it up. He was a bit of a cunt Edited April 12, 2006 by LolaRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a bit of a cuntNah, having a female Axl makes it all the better - it's different from the other tribute bands plus it gives you a real shock when you hear a hottie like that (yep, I checked out the newest pictures - the "Metropolis" photo album :krider: ) start singing in that masculine voice for the first time Eh, if you got your hair dyed red, that would be even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaRose Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 lol cheers Funny you should say that...I dyed my hair red a couple of weeks ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameless_girl Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 ^^^Looks great (No, I'm not a lesbian, I just tend to seriously overuse these emoticons sometimes ) Dark red is probably my favourite hair colour on a girl And it'd look great with that outfit I saw you in.Oh, is that tattoo real? Can't see it too well, but it looks cool.I sound ditzy... (Too late, can't sleep) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolaRose Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) Ok I take back the abuse. As for the falsetto part on It's so Easy, I used to find that problematic but have it covered now. They are old recordings, and I have been through a few months of classical singing lessons since then so my voice is way better than the stuff on the website, although I still think the studio tracks on the site are very good. I was quite pleasantly surprised by the consistently positive response..so fair enough for someone to offer criticism, but asking for me to be shot and to 'stop singing and ruining the songs', im sorry but that is way out of line. From the reception I've got from hundreds of people, I know my voice isn't that bad!!Also,you saying all everyone is doing is going on about image/girl power is false. Only one person mentions that they think I'm attractive and it's a surprise that a girl has such a masculine voice, and she is also a girl. No stupid 'girl power' shit - that stuff sickens me anyway...I personally hate all that feminist bollocks. The rest said they liked it - no harm in that. I find it funny that a small minority of people on forums like this just take it as an opportunity to bitch, whether it's warranted or not. Obviously you read the post and saw that no-one had been very negative so far, so you saw a prime opportunity to try and stir things up. Hope you've got your little kick now Edited April 13, 2006 by LolaRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are old recordings, and I have been through a few months of classical singing lessons since then so my voice is way better than the stuff on the websiteWanna hear it Obviously you read the post and saw that no-one had been very negative so far, so you saw a prime opportunity to try and stir things upnot even close, I don't get influenced by people's opinions, but that's what you think and I don't care to change itAlso,you saying all everyone is doing is going on about image/girl power is false. Only one person mentions that they think I'm attractive and it's a surprise that a girl has such a masculine voice, and she is also a girl.Ok, but although they did not say it, all the guys(well majority) thought about your looks and being nice to you and being cool...don't you know men?From the reception I've got from hundreds of people, I know my voice isn't that bad!!I never said it was bad, I just said it was not appropriate for Gn'R's music... Just like Red Hot Chilli Peppers wouldn't sound right doing Guns' stuffNo stupid 'girl power' shit - that stuff sickens me anyway...I personally hate all that feminist bollocks.I wish more girls would think like that Ok I take back the abuse,I take back shooting you.....and shoot your cat instead .........kidding!
