METAL CHICKS SPECIAL – Evolution Rock Metal Podcast

We love them; we admire them; they add a touch of beauty to our heavy metal lives. Sometimes, we consider them as one of the guys, and other times, they cast an evil spell on us. Whether you like them for thier looks or for their music, these metal chicks all have one thing in common; they’ve got balls!

In this episode, we pay tribute to the chicks of heavy metal. Some you may be familiar with. Others might be new to you but the fact is that they all rock! Our guests of honor are Anthony Muzikar owner of Metaldogz.com, joing us on the commentary, and our special guest Scott Shafer ex bass player for the Chicago band, ZNOWHITE. Back in the early eighties, unlike today, chicks were not considered serirously and even more african americans were not taken with much acceptance in metal. This is were ZnoWhite with its multi-racial and female vocalist stood out like a sore amongst the rest of the bands of the time. The band was founded by guitartist Greg Fulton (Ian TaFoya) back in the early ’80s with female vocalist Nicole Lee. By the time the band was picked up by Roadracer (Roadrunner), the band had already recorded a couple of EPs and a live record. Scott Shafer, while taking up the duties of drums and bass for the recording of the album “Act Of God” (1998), which has achieved a cult-hero status amongst metal fans, the band managed to put one of the finest thrash metal albums ever recorded. Unfortunate for the band, lead vocalist Nicole Lee decided to leave the band. This let to the incorporation of a new female vocalist into the band, Debbie Gunn (current vocalist for Sentinel Beast). Furthermore, Scott Shafer returned to his duties as bass play by the introduction of a new a drummer to the line up. During the course of their tour, Roadracer/Roadrunner went through an important change in staff which left the band without their orginal supporters. Moreover, vocalist Debbie Gun left the band to join a Swedish female metal band called Ice Age. Without other options to continue with a female vocalist, as their were none, the band broke up and reformed as Cyclone Temple, and went through another break up and reformation in Rebels Without Applause. After the release of a couple of albums from each band, long time bassist Scott Shafer decided to leave the band.
