You know, the best poet and singer I ever met, told me that Wendy O. Williams convinced her to try her hand at rock. She told me she was back stage at a Plasmatics concert and decided that "If she can to it, anybody can". Well, she is to remain nameless but she was much more successful that the Plasmatics. I'm glad she was inspired by them but it's a little (very little) too much noise for me.
@huntr7777 Their first albumn's were REALLY punk.Thier "Beyond the Valley of 1984", and "Metal Priestess" you begin to hear a bit of metal within some of the songs...and then :Coup D' Etat"(my personal FAVORITE) was the real shift to Metal!! The WOW solo albums were as well, but seemed to have lost the metal Plasmatics flavor.
Search "The Damned" and " Put your love in me". These songs ROCK!
@huntr7777 A little bit of both. Punk and metal are usually the go-to styles when your agenda is to be loud, fast and edgey. And what better way to get your point across than a nice crossover metallic hardcore assault? Their music to me reminds me of that powerful UK sound that GBH, The Exploited or even Motorhead had but with some tough chick on vox.
And yeah you're right, Wendy went full blown 80's hair metal in her solo career similar to the way Billy Idol went New Wave in his.
