But having said that, she did seem to be burying her face beneath her hat and hair. And I think I know why.
I've checked out her other stuff on Youtube, and it vacillates between sex-sells pop tarting and bidding to be the first "serious" lady rock guitarist (in which case hiding her face become a tactic: "Don't look at me--LISTEN to me!"). Well, you can't be trying to fit in with Lady Gaga one day and Steve Vai the next, especially now that you're nearly thirty. Pick a side and commit to it, dear -- or you'll end up depending on handouts from the Richie Samboras and Alice Coopers permanently. |
And now,(there is another thread but fits your remark) - she seems to be taking him to the Shockwave Metal Fest in Oz.Fashionista to metal?? He's always thought with the wrong head when it comes to the young blonds.
She's a good guitarist and seemed to have a stable career without his coat tails so that is a plus. Time will tell.
He's also doing Sundance in Utah on the 20th of Jan. If she shows there too, I may start to wonder if he has another hanger on though. They sound good together but need to plan/announce gigs not just show up when only one has been promoted, seems .......????
As to her floating styles - she seems to me more of a session guitarist, good but no permanent home - so probably just paying the bills.
