  How are a few obscure examples a counter-argument? We're not talking about existance or not but trends. E.g. one could also give 20,000 all-male metal bands...

    >> 20,000 all-male metal bands... 20,000 all-male bands who don't kill as hard as Kylesa or Thorrs Hammer maybe. It's starting to sound like you've got a pre-existing conclusion, that girls can't rock, and you're trying to find something to support that conclusion regardless of what other evidence is presented. I say that in the Metal scene it's widely acknowledged that women can rock just as hard as their male peers. We stamped out a lot of that sexist shit a while ago.

That's about quality (not to mention subjective). Of course women can rock -- there are several example (and it would only take one anyway to prove such a thing). We're talking about quantity -- whether women rock generally more than men, or actually, as this started, whether men like loud music and distortion more.

  I was going to cosign this but then I saw Arch Enemy. Substitute Bolt Thrower and we have a deal.

    How in the hell did I forget about Bolt Thrower? Shame on me!

      To be fair, I did _just_ see them this past weekend.

  Can't edit now, but just wanted to add that female musicians also seem to crop up regularly in the Hardcore Punk and Grindcore scenes. I'm thinking of acts like Despise You, Gasp, Agoraphobic Nosebleed. Worth checking out.
