Rock Godess was a fantastic all girl rock/metal band - they were very
young played like metal/rock maniacs and wrote good songs. Inspiring,
but unfortunately they were around at a time when all girl metal/rock
bands could only reach a certain level of popularity (I guess he meant
in terms of sales) as opposed to their male counterparts!!! I remember
a record industry execs telling me in the 80's and then again in the
90's that all girl metal, rock, punk bands have a glass ceiling of
success unless they sell sex and become pop oriented or as a singer to
get male back up band to be taken seriously. So many great all female
acts bit the dust.
