This is my tribute to some of Heavy Metal’s women. Some are not the prettiest but they rocked all the same…then there are some that didn’t quite rock but were worth using the mute button when the videos come on. Now I know that I probably left out a few significant ladies but I can’t post them all here and some I wish not to.
Some are old, some are new…and some are dead. None the less Each and every one has had some kind of impact on heavy metal or hard rock either past or present. Enjoy the eye candy.
