I'm watching Tina Turner in concert in Holland and got me thinking how many here have seen a female act in concert. I've seen her live 5 times the first MD/VA on The Private Dancer Tour when Mister Mister opened for her was the best. The last was in VA when Cyndi Lauper opened while being 5 months pregnant. TT can put on a hell of a show in those heels for two hours.

So what's your list of female performers as single acts or lead in a band?

I haven't seen many female performers over the years....very few, actually. But when I saw this thread, Tina Turner was the first woman that came to mind. Saw her in 2000 with Joe Cocker opening....got free tickets and kinda expected it to suck. But what a show! Cocker completely blew me away, for starters. Then TT's stage show, her energy....and those dancers...dayum. She kept up with the dancers the entire show - women half her age, while wearing 4" heels. She sounded great and had more songs that I enjoyed than I remembered before I went....It was a blast!

Most of the other females I've seen perform were in support roles, or part of a mixed band....Smashing Pumpkins, Coal Chamber....and this very talented lady was playing with Alice Cooper when I saw him open for the Crue a couple months ago (Nita Strauss) :

"How To Make A Monster...An Interview with Sean Yseult

Shauna Reynolds was born June 6, 1966 in North Carolina & it's an odd coincidence that she has 666 in her birthday because Shauna is best known as White Zombie bassist Sean Yseult!

Sean & Rob Zombie created a band that would define a sound, a genre & the music/art the 2 created forged a bond between them that not only made them artistic partners but also lovers who shared a long term relationship which sadly collapsed over the course of the monster that was White Zombie.



Sean's father is Michael S. Reynolds who is a noted biographer of Ernest Hemingway & her childhood was an interesting exploration of culture, art & experiencing life as a freak. Sean recently put out a book entitled, "I'm In The Band" which is a joke title simply because many people didn't believe she was a member of a heavy metal band based strictly on the fact that in the 90's there were few if any females in metal bands.

Sean gained the respect of the metal world due to her musical prowess & her onstage energy and I recently had the opportunity to interview Sean about all things White Zombie both past & present; Sean was very open, very pleasant & very candid.
