Ok their were a few others i.e Lita Ford, but not many!!

Lee Aaron was one of a few females who could bring it metal wise when the metal scene was mostly dominated by men. Today of course it's a different story with tons of metal bands featuring chick singers.

Anyway my point is this, this cd is full of metal clichés, but it still is a good listen even if it's a somewhat dated sound now. It's basic metal at it's best and their nothing wrong with that. The songs have meaning to them, even if their are a little lame at times (remember it's metal, not brain surgery here).

The music is pretty good overall, nothing fancy but it's played nicely with lots of clean full power chords and cool leads here and there. The bass and drums are your typical 80's metal deal here. Lots of support, but no stepping out and going "look at me". Again theirs nothing wrong with that either and it really pushes this cd along in a nice way. The recording sounds full and fat with every note coming through loud and clear. It good old style metal at it's best really.

Lee sings Jazz now from what I've heard, I guess she's all grown up now?

Oh well, she was the Metal Queen once and I guess I can only dream of those live shows now. I have to say she rocked pretty darn hard for a nice girl and I miss her.

Love the Mrs. Aaron or is it Ms. Aaron?

Lee Aaron `s second album,Metal queen,is an album
filled with great old rock songs,wich she carries out with an enormous vocal capasity.
For those out there who love classic hard rock,this is strongly
recomended.

This is a awesome album with a very tight playing band fronted by one of the best female vocalists there is. Her voice is that of a angel. This album is a must have for any body who like bands like the Headpins, Christy Steel or other of this style. Lee has made lots of great albums and this is a shining example of her early work. And the cover is a beautiful shot of this incrediabely beautiful lady.

Now here is a hot rockin' singer from the '80's!! This chick can really belt it out. This Canadian rocker was one of the best acts around back in the day and her live shows were quite an inspiration to all aspiring female singers at the time. Lee exhibits very sultry vocal lines as well as the occasional scream that is reminiscent of the great Janis Joplin!! The band is very tight and borders on the line of blues based riffing and heavy metal arpeggios that flow like a meandering river. A well put together album with very memorable melody and vocal lines. I would have to say that this is one of Lee Aarons best work and her best band. If you like women rockers, then look no further...this is your lady!! This CD is a must have.

I'm giving this CD 3 stars only because of Lee's very awesome voice. It's actually really sad to here a beautiful voice that can rock with such horrid, lame lyrics. There's not one song on this CD that I can relate to . . what a waste of money. If you really want to listen to a woman who rocks and has outstanding lyrics, check out anything by Doro Pesch, esp. the CD "Doro" and her most recent "Fight."

I really wish I could rate higher but there is no imagination with this cd...it is everything one can hate about the 80's.I think a 13 yr old could write better lyrics. Don't waste your money, not even for nostalgia sake,and lets hope she fares better at jazz as she has a great voice.
