They're underrated because the only way they could get a record deal was with the caveat of their first album considering solely of songs composed and produced by industry people, and the result is glossy guitar pop, not unlike Bon Jovi that most true metalheads have generally shunned. It was the wrong sound for the wrong audience. If the record company had trusted the band to do what they wanted their way, and the label people just focused on promoting the music, they would've at least sold well to fans of stuff like Skid Row and Poison. Their true metal colors are able to shine through a bit more clearly on their second record.
Japan did this awhile back with hard rocking girl bands like Scandal, Band Maid, Baby Metal and others. South Korea had a boy group like BTS and girl groups like Apink and Black Pink era. I predict next they will be doing the Hard Rock groups and hard rocking girl groups.
Hey, if you like Vixen and this kind of female 80's rock, you should really check out the new video by Chez Kane. ruclips.net/video/FIqSK4K-ki8/видео.html
@@mkinster But the Japanese ones don't have the essence of rock in their veins, but the one from the 80s does, and the ones from South Korea are Korean pop, that's why it says k-pop, the one that's from Korea 😏
@@brolypelado I said that I predict next that Korea will be doing the Hard Rock groups and hard rocking girl groups. I was saying the k-pop era is starting to wind down and could give way to harder rock groups in South Korea.
Os anos 80 foram a melhor da HISTÓRIA, e a inspiração para tantos na gerações seguintes, continua Mariana Vieira , com esse extremo gosto pela música dessa década, tal como eu, ainda hoje , escuto com tanto prazer... Um Abraço do Filipe do Porto 👍🏽🙏🍀
I'm almost 43 as and still love Vixen! I started listening to them in 1988 when they put their amazing debut out. It got heavy rotation on MTV then, when MTV was still MTV. They got so popular so fast that they were invited to play at MTV's Spring Break in Florida in 1989, and invited on countless shows. People couldn't believe they were as good as they were, but they were the real deal. ... To think, that young, unknown band in the 1984 Hardbodies movie would go on to be one of most successful female bands of all time!
Vixen actually played in the movie "Hardbodies". In fact, they did most of the soundtrack. This was before they hit it big. I think that movie came out in '84. Great movie.
I missed them very much and they leave mark on me to listen songs and watch movies from that time I don't recognize this time in which unfortetanly we living
They should've been bigger than they were! So sad what the music industry does to people - not to mention all the fighting between band members. RIP Jan ❤❤
Looking back on the 80's, I'll never understand why Vixen weren't more popular? Great songs, musicianship, and gorgeous women! Who doesn't like that? Plus, Janet Gardner was an outstanding singer. She could hold her own against some of the best female singers of the time plus she had the looks to add to her appeal. I am shocked the record companies never offered her a solo record deal? Crazy, crazy!! Are those record execs both blind AND deaf? Disgrazia!
Apparently there was factionalism in the band, which lead to the break up. Gardner then got married and had a child and she decided being a mother was more important so respect to her for that.
Growing up back then, I can say, honestly, it was hard for women in metal to be taken seriously. Yeah, you had acts like Lita Ford, Vixen, Doro from Warlock, Wendy O Williams and a few others but none of them really made it HUGE. Women and non whites were, sad to say, more like novelty acts. When bands like Living Color or Loudness etc came out it was like wow that black/Japanese guy can play great. Sad, but true, it was mostly the white guys club back then.
Ah, god. This is bittersweet. I miss this era so much. If only I were a little older back then, I would have blasted this track at max volume from the speakers of my 1989 Mitsubishi Starion with the windows down while speed shifting as the intercooled turbo hisses in perfect harmony with the music! The eighties were so RAD!
adarshraksh We did indeed! Lol! Used to rock the guy-liner with my mullet. Sharing my lady's mousse, etc. Good fuckin' times... forever. Best decade of music ever!
I was born in 1959 and as a Teenage Boy I feel in Love with Female Bands and Female Singers 😂. Fanny, The Runaways, Suzi Quarto, Lita Ford, Joan Jett, ❤Ann & Nancy Wilson❤ and thats just a Few. ❤Fanny "PLAY LIKE A GIRL"❤. Women can Rock & Roll just a Hard as the Boys.
Hi I have had cancer and I am here to tell the tail I am one of the lucky ones but her music will live forever, long after we have all gone . She is rocking the gods
I wish girls still looked this good!!! Not anymore!!! Boy haircuts!!! I am glad I got to see it all!! I set up for these lovely ladies!!! And they were very talented ladies!! They could play!!!! Period!!!!! Respect and love!!! I am blessed to have met you and set up for them!!! I have drum stick and guitar picks from setting up for them!!!
I'm a 47, I grew up in the 80s there are definitely a lot of heroes that are being passing lately.. it truly is sad when you find a band like this where they definitely had to fight and try and play a little harder to make it in that world, they definitely proved that they could and they rocked thank you for Vixen and there music..
Not underrated just unaccepted... Woman bands and Women Rockers were never taken seriously back in the 80s.. Too bad they are very talented and fricken hot 🔥
I was born on November 14th 93 I might be a millennial but I was brought up listening to 80s music and to this day I still listen to it with some of my generation music but todays music just sucks todays kids have no idea what they missed.
2:13. To this day I can’t stop listening to this solo! Seamless transition into the relative minor scale and it is really fitting for the song... she kept it an octave lower than most guitarists of the era and really let those sour notes cry. Perfect solo for a song called cryin. I just wish it was longer. The solo could could have went another 8 bars or even longer, that tone sounded really good.
I heard this on the radio for the first time ever in my life (Hair Nation) and I’m listening to this with headphones and all I can say these girls sound amazing! Holy crap! Rock on metal heads!
Loved that Aqua net hair, all the Big Hair and the music was and will always be great. I'm glad I got to grow up in the 80s and was able to play and sing some of music with various Bands at parties.
Cancer has taken to Goddesses of Rock Guitar: Michelle Meldrum (Phantom Blue), Kelly Johnson (Girlschool) and the best my platonic love Jan. Now they are Angels.
I'm going to hug my daughter after seeing this video. Can't wait to introduce her to this wonderful band & music of the 80's.. I still Love heavy metal & glam metal (aka arena rock) as many do. R.I.P. Jan*
God, I love Vixen, they were all so amazingly gorgeous AND talented, just like their male counterparts of the 80's. Love how Jan made her guitar sound like a sax in the solo, so unique. Hair metal had such talented musicians. Wish these girls had more attention than they got, so beautiful!
I miss the 80’s hair metal. So much fun. I will never forget seeing Vixen during Spring Break in Galveston, TX. Great show in the sweltering heat. The best time I ever had in swim trunks!
These songs, videos, were the best of the 80's...and I greatly appreciate and love their contributions...they are definitely worth listening to! Rock on! Lonnie
Everyone loved Jan it's amazing how one person can emanate so much love. A true angel Roxy share ,Janet all angels it's sad we lost one of our angels but she's a 'real angel now
All the girls were accomplished musicians, and Janet's vocals and style so perfect. Their live recordings are great too. In this song you can clearly hear Jan's vocals in the chorus with Janet and that was a good choice, it sounds really good.
Seriously, seriously under-rated band. They came along at the wrong time, just as hair-metal was gradually being pushed out for grunge. The fact they were a smokin' hot, all-girl band probably counted against them and were likely considered a gimmick, despite obvious talent.
That plus Thrash Metal was reaching it's peak, Death Metal and Grindcore was on the rise and the 2nd wave of Black Metal was starting to take off. By the time Vixen arrived on to the scene, they, like many of the Glam Metal acts in the late 80s was in an ever narrowing corridor. By 89-90 it was pretty much a spent force.
Grunge (Also a term to describe the rawness of the heavy music) existed before Nirvana and all the other grungy End-Eighties-Bands happend. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunge
@James Spun , this stuff was just as real. I was in a hair metal band back in the day, and we cut our teeth on everything from punk to really heavy stuff. We had a male lead , then a female and male duo, then only a female ( she could cover anyone without missing a lick, huge range ), then we wound up with an equally incredible male vocalist. By the time the personnel changes were through, the genre was about dead. I left for a second bout of college and a marriage, and the band cut another album, but there were no real sales. Nobody wanted hair metal anymore. That didn't make the music any less real, and didn't take away any skills from the excellent musicians I was blessed enough to play with. I was the weak link in the lineup when I was in it as the synth player, and they wound up with a better musician. The band reformed after being asked to do so for a local festival for fans, and then went to play the NASCAR race at Bristol a month later. I couldn't gig with them, due to my health, but, they were tight as hell still after only about a month's practice, playing mostly covers, Skid Row, Judas Priest, Van Halen / Hagar, Dokken etc. It was a great show even as an audience member and my teenage son, who was still in the womb the last time I was in the band, was absolutely astonished at how tight they were. There were thousands of musicians and bands that were as good or better than anything you've ever heard on the radio that never got big for different reasons. You can look at most successful artists and see that they've been in a lot of bands before they broke big, and listen to those bands and they sounded fantastic. Any music is real if the musician's heart and soul is in it, and I can tell you, that the hair metal scene had a hell of a lot of that. It was real. I don't denigrate any genre of music. There's great and talented musicians in all of it, and in all of it, there are performers that give their heart and soul to the music and to their fans. The only thing that is crap, and that isn't "real", is the critic who's never laid his ass on the line in front of a small crowd in a crappy , smokey bar full of drunks, or few thousand or a few tens of thousands of people. These girls were real. They were all very talented, and top players. Pia, the bassist, even graduated from Berklee and was a classmate and friend of Aimme Mann's. Pia is Pia Vai, Steve Vai's wife, and has played on his recordings.
The 80's were the best, and I didn't realize it then. I started grade 8 high school in the fall of '79, and by mid summer' 86 I was working in my first career (went for 27 years). The economy was booming, hair was big, pants were tight, and metal ruled the rock scene. Keep rockin' brothers and sisters! 🤘😎
Como eu queria ter sido jovem na década de 80! Se eu tivesse oportunidade de usar uma máquina do tempo com certeza iria dar uma voltinha nessa época kkkk bom demais!
Unfortunately, they started very late, about 1988. They had a few hits, but before they could make it big, the grunge music scene shut down talented acts such as theirs.
@@markymark0417 lol you can't blame a genre for shutting down a musician that's total B.S, a LOT of bands evolved through MANY different decades of different popular genres. Of course you have to have persistence, drive, determination, and talent if you want to evolve as a band through different genres, let's not forget grunge died too as a genre but just because grunge eventually died doesn't mean ALL those bands just stopped making music because grunge wasn't mainstream anymore.
thank you ladies. this album got me through some of the toughest times in my life ,but also went along with some of the best. this album will forever be at the top of my list. only wish there were more like it
its sad. i love watching the old videos and playing the music... then you think of all the great ppl from the bands that passed away! and you go back to when they was alive and the way life was then.. priceless!!!!

i want these girls back
There was only one Jan Kuehnemund, and I'm glad I was able to see her in my lifetime. She is so missed. Rest-In-Peace Goddess❤

Jan was the heart and mastermind... I was in Thrash, Death and Black Metal in this time - but in love with Jan...

@@miked.1950 You are right.
I love crying such a powerful song

Very underrated band. These women Rockers had talent and rocked with the best in the 1980's.

I wouldn't consider it metal; hard rock yes and good rock unlike the crap we have these days; the older people would be happy rock is basically dead
Who rated them?
@@jasonlieberman4606 Yup Heart also made such similar deal from 85-90 under record company but they were still great though.
@@bob_greene ???what do you mean by "the older generation would be happy " I'm nearly 70yr old, I would rather listen to this music than pop music..
I just wanna go back to this era of time, music, and hair. Loved this band. RIP, Jan. You were awesome!!
Awesome band ❤
The 80s 90s hair needs to come back! Loved those hairdos!!
I love these girls. RIP Jan.
It was the people of the 80s that made this era great, like me.
Vixen is so awesome. They deserve to be inducted into the Hall of Fame!!!
Difícil
I hope this band gets inducted into The Rock -n-Roll hall of fame someday. Vixen was and always excellent
They won't get that....they were one hit wonders....but they did rokk
@@Swanlord05 sad on not getting inducted but Vixen did definitely rock no doubt
So wrong, they were far from one hit wonders; they had 6 songs that charted in the US and UK.
Muito difícil
I'm 54 and my wife is 56 okay and we have been married for 24 years okay letting you we love y'all okay goodnight okay
RIP Jan. The short amount of time we spent together was still the best part of my life. You were one of a kind.
What little I saw of her in interviews, she seemed like a nice and humble person... and gorgeous, of course.
I could waste a whole week just listening to 80's music and watching the videos back to back! LOVE everything about the 80's!
You mean invest the weekend?
Bring back female rock bands. Miss them so much!! Vixen was the bomb!

There were thousands of musicians and bands that were as good or better than anything you've ever heard on the radio that never got big for different reasons. You can look at most successful artists and see that they've been in a lot of bands before they broke big, and listen to those bands and they sounded fantastic. Any music is real if the musician's heart and soul is in it, and I can tell you, that the hair metal scene had a hell of a lot of that. It was real.
I don't denigrate any genre of music. There's great and talented musicians in all of it, and in all of it, there are performers that give their heart and soul to the music and to their fans.
The only thing that is crap, and that isn't "real", is the critic who's never laid his ass on the line in front of a small crowd in a crappy , smokey bar full of drunks, or few thousand or a few tens of thousands of people.
These girls were real. They were all very talented, and top players. Pia, the bassist, even graduated from Berklee and was a classmate and friend of Aimme Mann's. Pia is Pia Vai, Steve Vai's wife, and has played on his recordings.
For me, Jan Kuehnemund will always be the most beautiful and one of the most talented woman in music. So sad she suffered cáncer and passed away.
Damn, I wasn't born until 1986, I seriously absolutely love the 80's music. I should have lived through this Era. Bring it back Please!!
I'm going to see Vixen at Summerfest in Milwaukee this weekend!
Absolutely loved Jan! She could jam that guitar
Miss these years
These women were freaking talented and beautiful 😍 they certainly didn't get the recognition they Very well deserved.
Their talent is worth in excess of $1B dollars.
Hey, if you like Vixen and this kind of 80's rock, you should really check out the new video by Chez Kane. ruclips.net/video/FIqSK4K-ki8/видео.html
The 80's were the best, and I didn't realize it then. I started grade 8 high school in the fall of '79, and by mid summer' 86 I was working in my first career (went for 27 years). The economy was booming, hair was big, pants were tight, and metal ruled the rock scene. Keep rockin' brothers and sisters! 🤘😎
These amazing musicians redefined music for us all !
Como eu queria ter sido jovem na década de 80! Se eu tivesse oportunidade de usar uma máquina do tempo com certeza iria dar uma voltinha nessa época kkkk bom demais!
These girls were the real deal. Pure talent
I wish it was 1989 again, Id have no problem doing my hair like this again. Miss those aqua net days
Beautiful women awesome music great times, we who lived in the 80's had great lives. Wish it was the 80's all over again
Stumbled across this group by accident..now am binge listening to them....❤...
It disappointed me that they didn't get to be as big as Bon Jovi, Guns n' Roses or other great 80s band. They definitely were underrated.
or joan jett
Como elas estão hoje?

Unfortunately, they started very late, about 1988. They had a few hits, but before they could make it big, the grunge music scene shut down talented acts such as theirs.
@@markymark0417 lol you can't blame a genre for shutting down a musician that's total B.S, a LOT of bands evolved through MANY different decades of different popular genres. Of course you have to have persistence, drive, determination, and talent if you want to evolve as a band through different genres, let's not forget grunge died too as a genre but just because grunge eventually died doesn't mean ALL those bands just stopped making music because grunge wasn't mainstream anymore.
thank you ladies.
this album got me through some of the toughest times in my life ,but also went along with some of the best.
this album will forever be at the top of my list. only wish there were more like it
Man I miss the 80’s!! Look at that hair!! I wanna go back to the 80’s so bad, so glad I grew up in the 80’s
Vixen is a excellent female band and their videos are assome!!!!!❤❤❤❤
If only I could have the 80s&90s all over again !!absolute golden decades .
Que canción, me revitaliza y me hace sentirme joven otra vez¡¡¡¡¡¡¡.

Back in the days when Rock Songs Was Worth Listening
