i saw them in Ottawa back in 81(?) at the Rideau Theatre(RIP) It was so loud I had a pair of sonic earplugs in and I still had to leave the building many times....LOL
Look up the Motley Crue song "Live Wire." I think "Yeah Right" was a huge influence on them when writting that song, the opening riff is practically the same!
Yeah Kelly Johnson died of spinal cancer in '07, the one with the les paul.... What a guitarist! Alison Robertson from The Donnas reminds me so much of Kelly. R.I.P.
Who cares what they look like you 2 year olds? A great tune by a great band. Looks or anything other than their ability to play/sing/write doesn't matter. Superficial bastards!
you're sure about that? The bassist is the one that sings (In this video). I always found the other two guitarists pretty good looking (Kim and Kelly). But Enid? ....
I love Kim. I mistakenly came across their videos yesterday. I maybe heard of them once or twice about 20 yrs ago, but I immediately became hooked yesterday. I had a girlfriend like Kim when I was younger. I LOVE watching Kim. I LOVE her unique face. I love when they give her close ups. I would TOTALLY make out with her, like all day long. Kim is SO HOT! Wadya think?
yeah philthy :) girlschool & motörhead... that's always been some kinda relationship and whenever they meet you can bet your ass something cool's gonna happen.
underjoggle... no, don't sound anything like maiden's running free.
There is a tribute to Kelly on My Space and on Girlschool's homepage.
I saw them probably ten times in the 1980's with 2-3 different lineups, but the one with Kelly was by far the best. I thought she absolutely kicked ass and she looked a treat, too. RIP Kelly.
Punk rock....... es una pena q hoy en dia no halla grupos de este tipo en ningun lado.......deberian triunfar.....joder q asko de nostalgia, deberia haber nacido diez años antes.
this is just stupid, I just discovered Girlschool. and I find out the lead singer has jsut died not to long ago. =( thats just a huge bummer. she had sutch a great voice!
Girlschool did not have A lead singer - all three girls upfront sang lead although Kim McAuliffe was the main vocalist. And she is still with us. Make sure you pick up the first 2 GS albums - brilliant stuff! Especially 'Hit & Run.'
Girlschool have their own unique sound - they're not punk, metal or even NWOBHM . . . they're Girlschool! Kelly's gone and we miss her sorely . . . but the band continues to make excellent music! If you get a chance to see them grab it - one of the best live shows you'll see.
Demolition woke me up to music - If starting out today would be massive - all the back catalogue stands the test of time. Kelly very underestimated as a lead player and musician. Met the remaining members and Jax at Ipswich recently - still kick ass and are nice girls - makes a change eh? Real heroes..Kelly RIP
kelly johnson- rest in peace. girlschool were so great (well, their first 2 records anyway.) enid's voice is great on this... and vic maile's production is awesome.
I did some recording at the same studio with Vic Maile, he was diabetic and would fall asleep sometimes at the desk. All the 2 inch mastertapes would be around and we'd happily read the boxes and find out that for example Motorhead by Motorhead was recorded there.
If you think they are metal then they are metal, I've known the band a lon long time and they have never been metal, but I can't be bothered arguing. Girlschool ARE Original and like all GREAT bands don't belong to any genre, tags like Metal and Punk were created by lazy journalists in an atempt to pigeonhole bands and create SCENES. Girlschool were around at the same time and were tagged as metal/punk and yes they are influenced by hard rock and Punk bands but they are far better than that!!
you said it. it's too bad everyone tries to put bands into one genre or another. most bands claim to be original but few are. Girlschool have always been original. they have their own sound and style. when you put on a Girlschool song you know it's them. they don't sound like anyone else and yes they are one of the greatest bands ever!!
some even put Girlschool under NWOBHM which is partly true; i think they have same kind of a sound like Saxon or the other british metal bands of the time...
