Kelly Johnson is a true Heavy Metal Guitar Princess I was sad to hear her passing but many female guitarists and female metal heads such as myself will never forget her the legacy lives on.
@beyondtheveilofdeath ..Paolo...I saw them twice a few nights prior to this up in Seattle. (1982)....They fit in some of these small gigs while on the Iron Maiden/Scorpions tour.
I saw them at the San Antonio Convention Center opening for Iron Maiden and The Scorpions back in 1982 on this tour. Long Live Kelly Johnson. She ROCKED!!!
@reachlee90 During that same year they played small clubs on their own, during the GIRLSCHOOL LOCK UP YOUR SONS TOUR OF THE US. I caught them at the Roxy in LA, and Kim and Kelly (RIP) set the house ablaze.
@angel4everable Wow I bet it would have been even cooler seeing them in a setting like that. They rock!!! Everybody in the audience must have been like WOW they totally kicked ass. What do you think of their new album Legacy? minus Kelly rest in peace, Kim McAuliffe has done good to keep everything alive to this day :) It would be cool if they came to the states again!
@angel4everable I'd love to see Girschool play the US again. Funny, that night Kim caught all the attention of the crowd, while Kelly blasted us with her guitar. I'd never seen a grrrl rock band quite like them, and yes, I did catch the Runaways diown the street at the Whiskey. GIRSCHOOL 4ever!
No shit, I didn't know Kelly died, DAMN. I saw them open for Aldo Nova, Scorpions and U.F.O. in San Diego in the 80's. Those chix rocked, and were friends of Lemmy, that alone gave that alone made them stars. I'm bummed out, who got her Gibson Gold Top?
Thanks for posting this. I missed this when it was originally broadcast, so I didn't get a chance to tape it off for myself (I have taped other Girlschool live stuff off of tv, though). I was so pissed.
I've loved this band since I was 11 years old, and I love all the members who've been in and out of the band over the years(R.I.P. Kelly), but no one ever gives any props to Kim or Denise who have been there all along, so I would like to give them some props and thanks not giving up and for kicking ass for 30plus years!
Kelly Johnson---R.I.P. another hard rocker/heavy metaller passes away and no word is mentioned of it.The media sucks!!!! if it was some untalented rapper it would be all over the media!!!!!!
Listen Bitch: I said that they are no longer attractive; not I want to commit jihad on speed metal. I like the band just as much as you do, but that doesn't mean that I have to find them physically attractive; and if you've got a problem with that, then you can fuck off.
Stop talking rubbish bonrocker. Ever met them, I have, and it aint about their looks, it's about what they do, and how we love their music. I still have the tshirt Kelly and Kim gave me in 1992 (worn it only once.)
I was at the 'Screaming Blue Murder' tour Glasgow Apollo - early 80's. It seems like only yesterday. My thoughts are with Kelly's family, the band and everyone who's followed Girlschool for so long. Rock In Peace Kelly.
Kelly was the female heavy metal!!!

these girls remind me of motorhead xD
and don't hate on me, this is the first song of theirs i'm ever hearing
and they ROCK
KtfoMustang 2 years ago
Yes, that's because they were discovered by Lemme, and used the same musical formula---heavy metal at the speed of punk.
angel4everable 2 years ago 2
They do sound a bit like motorhead sometimes.
(They actually did a joint album with motorhead once and this year they supported motorhead on tour :-) )

agree with ya. But most of the 80's band who tried to reuinte usually sound like shit. their era is over.
I've listened to a girlschool album from 90's i think i was. didn't sound good.
