For our next Women Who Rock post we have an offering from New Wave of British Heavy Metal Legends Girlschool. Could they Rock?  They had the seal of approval from none other than Lemmy Kilmister. Lemmy took Girlschool out on the road with Motörhead. The two bands even recorded together as Headgirl on the St. Valentine's Day Massacre EP. Girlschool also toured with Deep Purple during the US leg of their Reunion Tour. I saw that tour in Detroit at Joe Louis Arena. Girlschool opened the show and was booed of the stage after maybe 4 songs. They performed really well, but the audience wanted Deep Purple. Rodger Glover came onstage after Girlschool had left it and stated that Deep Purple was disappointed in the treatment of Girlschool and would not be coming on stage any earlier than planed out of respect for the band. It's not the first time I've seen a very good band opening for a name act and have them booed off by a Detroit audience that just wants to see the headliner. I went to see Ozzy Osbourne at The Masonic Temple on his first US tour with Randy Rhoads and Motörhead was the opening act. They got through 4 songs before leaving to a loud chorus of boos. The band had just sold out Harpo's Concert Theatre just weeks before. I was really looking forward to seeing them as I couldn't get tickets to the Harpo's gig, I so disappointed in my fellow Detroit Rockers.

Guitarist Kelly Johnson died July 15, 2007, at the age of 49, after a 6 year battle with  spinal cancer.

Nice sounding recording of Megadeth's appearance at the 1999 Woodstock Festival. Dave is in real fine voice at this show, and the band is playing real tight. The only minor problem is the amount of material from the Risk album. Megadeth kind of lost me around that time with their experimentation with Techno/Industrial flavorings to their sound. There are fans who like the album but I sold it back to the CD store the day I bought it (at least I bought it.. I haven't bought a Metallica album since ..And Justice For All). The band fractured around this time in a cloud of personal and creative differences.

Megadeth actually broke up in 2002 after Dave Mustaine relapsed into drug addiction. Mustaine actually couldn't play guitar during this time due to nerve damage to his left arm. There were reports that the injury was due to a dirt bike accident, and reports that it was nerve damage from shooting up. The official story is that Mustaine fell asleep in a chair with his left arm over the back of the chair, when he awoke the arm was paralyzed. Dave Ellefson publicly claimed the injury was a lie and Mustaine was just suffering from drug addiction. Additionally Ellefson claimed Mustaine gave him control of Megadeth when they disbanded and short changed him on royalties. After the lawsuits played out Ellefson was welcomed back into the reunited Megadeth.

For our next Women Who Rock post we have one of My Favorite Woman Vocalists Of All Time, Janis Joplin. Janis had broken away from Big Brother & The Holding Company to emerge a solo artist. During the recording sessions for her first solo album Janis was allegedly shooting upwards of $200 dollars of heroin a day. I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! was released to mixed reviews. All though Janis Joplin's vocals and shift in direction was praised by reviewers, The Kosmic Blues Band was not so well received. Critics thought the band to be sub-par and hindered Janis's performance. One reviewer recommended getting to a point were you could tune out the band and just listen to Janis sing. Fans however loved the album so much that it has gone Platinum. I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! is the only solo album to be released while Janis was alive. Janis was recording the album Pearl when she died of a heroin overdose, the album was unfinished yet released posthumously. Janis had finished all her vocal tracks but one, the ominously titled "Buried Alive In The Blues"

Keith Emerson died on March 10, 2016 from a single self inflicted gun shot to the head, he was 71.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer was the first Classic Rock concert that I took Rosebud to. We had attended many concerts while we dated, and after our marriage, but mostly Heavy Metal/Hard Rock concerts since it was a mutual love. When ELP reunited in the 1990's I saw it as an opportunity to introduce her to some classic Progressive Rock. I called her from work and told her that ELP would be at The Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan and could she try to get us some tickets. When I arrived home she told me that we would be sitting on the main floor 6th row center stage. What a set of seats, our friends Gypsy Dan and Prof Paul joined us for one of the best concerts we have ever attended (that's saying a lot, I seen Stevie Ray Vaughan jamming with Joe Cocker!). Keith Emerson pulled out the old Hammond Organ during an extended "Rondo" and proceeded to play it, beat it , kick it,  throw it around, and stab it with knives. Rosebud was blown away and a fan for life. We saw them a couple more times during the 1990's reunion period before the break up.

Our next Women Who Rock post comes from former Runaways guitarist and Hair Metal Queen Lita Ford.

Lita Ford started out as guitarist for The Runaways at the age of 16. The band consisted of  5 teenage girls scantily clad, playing a mix of Hard Rock, Punk & Glam. After the band broke up Lita went solo playing Hard Rock/Heavy Metal and became the Queen Of Hair Metal. Lita also was a heavy influence on the way that 80's Metal Heads both male and female would dress. The spandex pants, leather bras/vests, and Aqua Net overloaded hair became the uniform of the day. Lita Ford is still active in Heavy Metal today.

Randy Castillo passed away March 26, 2002 from complications of  Squamous cell Carcinoma a very common form of cancer, he was 51.

Jimi Jamison passed away August 31, 2014 from a heart attack caused by a hemorrhagic brain stroke from methamphetamine intoxication, he was 63.

A pretty good FM recording from early in Pat Benatar's career. I can't help wondering why someone would call in a bomb threat to a Pat Benatar show. Any way for our first Pat boot on The New JDP it's a great place to start.

Also a nice way to start what will be a running theme for the month, and that's Women Who Rock.
