    The attitude of fans today towards women in bands is thankfully a LOT different than in the 1980s, and Girlschool are one of the primary reasons for that change in attitude. I always listened for the musicianship, and that was something Girlschool had plenty of, and more to spare.

    I saw them live in Seattle back in the day 1982..I was in a band myself and we met Kelly Johnson and Denise mc. At their record signing at tower records..introduced ourselves as fellow girl heavy metal musicians and they were the sweetest kindest loviest girls..we ended up at their show and had a roaring drunken party after the gig..we then saw them again when we were touring England and Germany in 1984..I was always so impressed with Kelly’s guitar playing..she was girlschool..her cool and ripping riffs really pulled their sound together..as the others were not as fine a musician as Kelly was. I was gutted when I found out she was ill with spinal cancer and when she finally died in 2007..I’m still sad..looking at these girlschool videos bring back that era for me in huge way..it was a time of women pushing rock n roll and being successful pro musicians..we paved the way for everyone coming after us. Girlschool belong in RR HALL OF FAME.. nice nice wonderful fun gals...

    Girlschool was known outside of the U.K. I was buying their vinyls back in the early 80s in Minneapolis, MN, USA - don't recall how I discovered them but I was very young and SO impressed. Inspired me to take up guitar lessons (I stunk). But agree - one of the most underappreciated bands of all time. Wish I coulda seen them live when Kelly was still with us.

      Don't forget Kelly left the band years before she passed away. So even if she was still alive, you would have seen Girlschool without her...unless she rejoined. This said with all due respect to Kelly Johnson, who I STILL adore and worship. I was lucky enough to have a chat with her not long before she passed: she did a guest spot at a Girlschool gig at the Garage in London. Chris Bonacci also turned up, quite a party...and a very special night.

Inde has now for whatever reason been labelled as Rock, but back then it was an excuse to turn the radio off. FFS, Coldplay is even labelled as rock today!! WTF is that all about.?

    At that time she was the perfect girlfriend material and I wish....
    Today she's almost 60, still beautiful(to me) and still makes me smile with her accent.
