Gothic Queens / Musical Perception
Recently, I have grown fond of the hard rock genre, even though I was raised in hip hop and "old school" music (a poetic term for '70s soul and R&B). I don't know how to describe it in detail, but it is something about this type of music that connects w/ me. The sound of thrashing guitars, the emotions expressed lyrically by the vocalist, and the rhythm of the drums suddenly drives me and influences me as much as any hip hop or classic musician would. Bands such as Staind, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Metallica, The Deftones, Chevelle, Sevendust, The Pixies, Queensryche, Alice in Chains and numerous others have touched me deeply in the heart, leading me to listen fully to what each band have to offer. I even listen to this music to inspire me creatively as I prepare to draw. I understand many people have said this, but I feel enlightened to say I adore this type of music.

Now that I got that out of my system, I wanted to compare two leading ladies of certain bands that most of you might already recognize. I wish to post two pics so that I'll be sure everyone could recognize them.

Cristina Scabbia

Now what's to say about this one? She appeals to many people for expressing herself sensually. In addition, she sings in a haunting yet moody tone that draws you in completely, which I love about her. Her prescence derives from the image of the band she fronts, along w/ her dark, aggresive demeaner. I guess it is pretty obvious why they believe "Italians do it better".

Amy Lee

Honestly, I adore the last queen, but I believe I connect to this one even more, generally because of her purity through her voice. It is unbelievable what would come pouring out this young maiden's heart. *whistle* What is also appealing about her is that she tends to be a bit carefree and gullible at times. Moreover, she resembles a sense of honesty and innocence that allows her to stand out in front of others. As the previous queen before her, she can be aggressive, but it is usually in a lighter matter, esp. when it comes to expressing her feelings and convictions. No matter how she presents herself, she always had "all of me".

(WOW! Have I just written THAT?!)

Please feel free to post any comments about this post or about this week's Wicked Manuever if you, by chance, haven't already.

Tis' Well
