They were all very beautiful and very talented. I'm glad Jan got a chance to get her feelings out, and to play one last time before she passed away. R.I.P. Jan, you will be sorely missed.
I know we all miss her. From the first I saw her in that B movie Hard Bodies (and Janet) that we're called DIAPER RASH! Vixen where good playing on stage in the movie!
Yes, absolutely. They all seem very genuine, and kind. I see all of their perspectives, and think they are all right, for different reasons. I kind of side with the bassist, most of all. She was being the most authentically supportive of the band, and their long term success. She has some integrity and the courage of her convictions.
Agreed, this was one of the only ones where they were able to get back the entire original lineup for a show, no substitute players. Berlin was the only other one I remember them doing it with.
Dustin Martin if Sandy West was still around and would have been great to get The Runaways to reunite. I know there's a little bit of war between some of them
Yeah, and it was one the few I think where they got all original members to come back for a show. A Flock of Seagulls, Berlin, and The Motels, I remember they all performed with original members.
No, this wasn’t really the 80s rock scene, it was the corporate hellhole the music industry became, because far too many artists sold out for money, rather than being true to their principles. The bands that were true to their principles in the 80s like Throwing Muses, The Replacements, the Pixies (sadly now, the pixies shill for the man), broke the corporate nightmare up, into a million pieces in 1991-92. Good people, who allow self doubt and morons in suits, to sway them, from their intuition only extend the misery for those who have the courage of their convictions, and the bands who follow them.
I was lucky to be part of a band that opened for them and provided tech support for them several years in a row when they came thru ND SD and MN. They became our rock n roll sisters and we protected and enjoyed doing shows together! It was like a family reunion we all enjoyed. And yes my jaw dropped the first time I heard them play! Miss my sister's! Rip Jan.
Yeah, I think many bands during that time were royally screwed over by the record companies. They were given short 2 record deals and even when they sold very well, they didn't get paid shit
They needed to write some good songs with great melodies and hooks or hire it out. Same goes for all bands for continued success. Still, they would have been killed off by Nirvana like all the rest of the hair bands.
Janice "Gladys" Lynn Kuehnemund a Minnesota legend and hometown girl! I absolutely love Vixen and it really sucks I never got to see them live. I was crushed when Jan passed away 7 years ago. Such an underrated guitarist and backing vocalist. The amount of ass these rockers kicked cannot be understated. Vixen f'king rules! RIP Jan! We do miss you!
I think this was a lovely tribute, and a great episode, and these ladies seem really genuine. I preferred bands like Throwing Muses, for the quality of the music and lyrics, and for being true to themselves, through thick and thin.
Crazy that I am seeing this only now for the first time. I cried through most of the reunion and I didn't even realize Jan had died until I read the comments after watching the video. Thank you for the amazing music. I love you, Vixen.
Very cool that Jan got to at least find closure in a positive way and resolve the past issues and have a damn good time doing so. Great reunion Vixen! R.I.P my childhood crush Jan
Vixen were fabulous! What a great band. I'm a guy so naturally I was in love with all 4 of them. I broke down and wept uncontrollably when Jan died. Watch this episode of Bands Reunited with Vixen and feel the pain. I tear up when Janet talks about the meeting in the restaurant every time.
I was very lucky. Right after this show, they went on a tour in Europe with Zakk Wylde and others. When they came back, they wanted to do some small shows to get polished. I had a music venue in Wichita, Ks-I booked them. It was not the exact same lineup. My band Ten Day Wish opened for them. And I was their sound mixer for the night. I asked them to run down one song-it was Edge of a Broken Heart. They stopped, I asked them if everything on stage was good-it was. They asked their road manager, and he aid "this guy's way better than everyone on the European tour". Jan passed away a couple of years after that. I was so fortunate to have worked with her!
I was in a band named Vendetta and we opened for these ladies in Waco,Texas in 1989.Love these ladies and Roxy and I talked about our kit's and gear...
I remember meeting Jan and the other girls backstage at a concert at Tennessee Tech University my senior year in college, just before they went big time. Still have a pick and scarf Jan gave me, and a drumstick. And to top if off, Jan asked me what my name was and I told them Jimmy, and she grabbed the other three and they sang a song they wrote called "Jimmy", to me personally. Hot chicks with a great metal sound! Good times!
I was fortunate enough to have seen them live with White Lion and Ozzy Osbourne in the late 80's. I was totally blown away how beautiful they were and still are. they really could play some kick ass music. That's a concert I'll never forget. Thank you Vixen and especially Jan. May you R.I.P.
Never into Vixen back then but was an 80's metal head and in my own bands. So just decided to watch this and was very impressed and hoping to see these girls play, then see Jan has died of cancer before they reformed for a tour - gutted! RIP Jan Kuehnemund so sad
Miton Keynes-Superbowl is a great stadium, I also saw the live UK Tour of hit musical: Starlight Express there as well in 1993 😎 Where in England you from Colin, I'm in Kent right between Dartford/Bexley 👍🏻
As a 14 year old boy in 88 I fell in love with them. Truthfully that first album has never left me. I had the cassette, then I bought the CD, and now it's top 3 on my playlist. The best thing I can say is my daughters Love Vixen.
I was lucky enough to see these ladies on tour opening for White Lion in Davenport Iowa when I was only 16 years old. This was my first concert and I have to say, the most memorable one. I was a young aspiring guitarist who couldn't wait to see Vito Bratta play live. When Vixen took the stage, I was blown away by their live performance. But above and beyond the excellence of both White Lion and Vixen that I was lucky enough to witness that evening, I left the venue with an everlasting admiration Jan's playing. And of course, being within the confines of my 16 yr. old hormone imprisonment, she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. I was in the front row just below Jan's spot on the stage, and spent the entire duration of Vixen's set standing in a puddle of my own drool, LOL! I started that day excited to see Vito play, and it ended by me not being able to stop thinking about this ultra beautiful and talented female guitarist I was now in love with, lol. Thanks for the great memories. R.I.P. Jan, you are AMAZING!!!!!
Hey, as a fellow guitar player she was a melodic player and beautiful as well. Would have loved to see how she developed. Miss her and I hope she is jamming up there.
Irrelevant. Live Dokken (even in 1988) sounded thin because there was only one George not 24 track George. Warren DeMartini without a second guitar harmonizing and more? Not as interesting to listen to. Much less dynamic.
What made them good was going out of fashion though, that's why the second album didn't sell. If they changed they're style at least they had a shot, because their brand of polished pop metal was radioactive by 1992.
I was born in '97, but Vixen is my favorite band. I'm a big fan of the 80's band, especially the glam metal scene and when I first listened to these girls in 2011 I fell in love in that exactly moment. Jan is one of my guitar heroes (alongside with Joe Perry from Aerosmith and Warren DeMartini from Ratt), Janet is a magician with her voice, Roxy is a war machine behind the drums and Share is a bass queen. Love Vixen forever! R.I.P Jan!
I saw them in Yokosuka Japan as a young US Marine in 1984.... in a small venue they blew me away, especially when Janet introduced herself being from my hometown of Bozeman, Montana! I also was really into bands like Scorpions, Def Leopard etc... and these women could ROCK! I’ve even got some old photos somewhere. I’m SO glad they got together this one last time. Hopefully they will continue in some way. They Still Have IT!
I worked at a store called Rock On. Sold Rock n Roll shirts, posters and other stuff. Had a customer come in almost once a week looking for a VIXEN shirt. When we finally got a some we called him and he came in and bought them all. TRUE FAN!! Watching this brought back that memory. This was well worth the watch but I just hoped they would have showed more of them. 🎶🎶
Metal Goddess! RIP Jan! Minnesota will NEVER forget you! I had such a mad crush on her. Always loved the striped hair she wore back in the 80s, that was so unique!!!
Jan is kinda funny when she states (about bringing in another guitar player) "If I couldn't play something"....... Jan was an awesome guitar player...check out all of her guitar solos........wow. RIP Jan
LIKEWISE! In my opinion, back then, if you were a male rocker, rocker girls/ladies (take your pick) or female rockers were the reason WHY you went to school (although your studies counted, as well!), the mall, and concerts!
Well there's nothing wrong with appreciation for the beautiful women neither it's a guilty pleasure. I remember a video where Vixen fanboys attending their sign event because they're hot. You guys had Samantha Fox, Vixen and Kim Wilde meanwhile we had Bon Jovi, Mötley Crüe, Poison etc.
I remember I grew up on vixen, my dad would play their music all the time. We sat down and watched this when I was maybe 7 or 8, watching it now brings me back to so many good childhood memories. One of my favorite 80s bands for sure
Thompson twins what a jol vixen were hot Joe cocker a legend I had the privillage to see him at sun city RSA Angela young u rock class of 86 rock on eighties william rustenburg southafrica
She was so very, very special And was so from the start his heart And like a single drop of rain That on still waters fall, Her life did ripples make And touched the lives of all. She's gone to play with angels In heaven up above So keep your special memories And treasure them with love Although your darling daughter Was with you just a while She'll live on in your heart With a sweet remembered smile. I love Jan
Saw them at the height of their fame in the late 80's in a small club in Birmingham UK called the Hummingbird. They absolutely smashed it.. standing ten feet away and it was just perfect.
Wow, that was actually kinda tear jerking. These ladies were the real deal deal and could rock on any stage with the best of them! I just hope that whatever happened after this that they all remained friends and put to bed any unresolved pains and issues. Rest in peace, Jan 🌹
I played bass on Bubble's second album " total harmonic distortion" and toured England and Japan with Shar and her husband/ drummer/ cowriter Bam Ross ( he played in the English band Dogs d'amour ) .they did 3 albums ( the first had faster pussycat members) and the little snippet of a video they show when talking to Shar is from Bubble's third album , ( which is EXCELLENT) . Shari's attitude and punkish stylings was so great to be reminded of our time together, playing the south by southwest, Edem festival in Vegas and a month touring England, a week in Tokyo and dozens of gigs in greater LA. But this just popped up on my algorithm and blew me away, so much history.
Mike from North County St Louis Ferguson I remember seeing Vixen in a little Club several times and they sold the bar out every time they showed up I'm 64 years old and I remember them still to this day they could play rock and roll and they were a piece of the pie that kept me going as well as a few other bands in my musical career... you girls kicked it All three my bandmates are gone now from my original group from those early days I'm glad you all got to experience it the reunion😎
I always liked Vixen's music, but I had no idea that all four members had such great broadcast personalities. They seemed like professionals at public speaking in this. They could all be talk show hosts. That was really cool to see. This documentary also made a fascinating story.
Watching them reminded me of an interesting time in my life. I discovered Vixen as a Sgt. in the Army while in Desert Shield/Storm. I was given a pass to go to the USO/Saudi market and found both albums on cassette. I liked the look of the ladies and bought them for my Walkman. I immediately fell in love in love with the band and still love listening to them. Joined the fan club and never heard anything after that. I remember that back then I fell for Shane and after seeing her in this reunion show. She is still just as beautiful as always. Just wish I could get something knitted from her.
Thru the years I find myself always popping in a Vixen CD to get my fix for the Sexiest Metal ever made. All of them amazing performers and amazing musicians, how that 1st album didn't hit platinum 5 times over is beyond me. In the Service I visited many countries and people all over the world wore their T-Shirts and played that album, I'm thinking the record companies lied to them to greedily keep that money. Love these Ladies of Mayhem, Vixen was the absolute in their day. Jan you will forever be missed by legions of fans who were all fortunate and privileged enough to hear the music You, Janet, Share & Roxy wrote. Rest in Piece Beautiful Angel of Metal!
every time the showed flashbacks to their 80s/early 90s performances and videos, I got a little emotional. Such good times. I may not have been alive but thank god I have a mom who was in love with them and recorded everything and I was able to spend my childhood watching those tapes. RIP JAN! VIXEN FOREVER!
namjoon stan I was 11 in 1988 when Edge of a Broken Heart was their first single. They never really were more popular than that first album... not really one hit wonder status, but close.
Jan Johansen You have zero clue what you are talking about The very fact that the band did not go.on despite the little attempt to replace the founder IS PROOF that relationships and PEOPLE were far more important to most people The founder could have easily kept the band going since she started it and replaced those who tried to replace her but she didn't Why didn't she ? Ego? Greed? No it's because she was hurt about the betrayal from those she thought were her close friends The 80s DID NOT SUCK AT ALL .PEOPLE CARED MORE ABOUT PEOPLE BACK THEN THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE BACK THEN WERE NOTHING LIKE TODAY TODAY PEOPLE ARE SO QUICK TO SAY ALL TYPES OF NEGATIVE NONSENSE AMD RUDE CRITICAL, OPINIONATED , STATEMENTS AND ACT LIKE THEY ARE FACTS.THE FACTS ARE WE COULD REALLY TRUST PEOPLE MORE BACK THEN WE USED TO CONSIDER OTHER PEOPLES FEELINGS.WE USED THE GO ALL OUT TO HELP EACH OTHER THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS SELFIES BACK THEN YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN ANYONE TAKING A PICTURE OF THER OWN SELF THAT WOULD HABE BEEN CONSIDERED REALLY WIERD IT IS A VERY WELL KNOWN FACT THAT TODAY THERE EXISTS MORE NARCISSISTIC EGO DRIVEN PEOPLE THEN EVER BEFORE.THIS IS KNOWN AS THE MOST EGOTISTICAL ERA IN U.S HISTORY.PEOPLE DONT CARE THE HELP THE DOWN AND OUT OR OTHERS AS MUCH AND I HAVE NOTICED PEOPLE DONT TRUST EACHOTHER MUCH ANYMORE AT ALL.YOU MUST LOCK YIUR DOOR AT NIGHT AND NEVER LEAVE YOUR WALLET JUST LAYING AROUND. WE USED TO DO THAT BACK THEN AND NO ONE WOULD STEAL IT.
namjoon stan That's beautiful You know Us men who don't feel insecure about our masculinity are not afraid the show emotions.My wife loves that I never hide my true feelings behind some macho man mask of insecurities. She actually says only the strongest men are not intimidated by doing that
Ty for posting this. Back when all this happened u never knew what the real story was. I loved Vixen and still do and i'm a man's man.. They sure could rock. Lucky i was in my 20's thru the 80's . Rip Jan..
I didn't know they'd done this. What a treat to see them back if only for a night. I'm glad Jan agreed to do this because sometimes it's very difficult to face people who you had a rough time with. I sure wish she hadn't died. This made them all happy and it was worth the wait.
I really enjoyed it. It was a pleasant nostalgic trip down to late 80s. I recall watching their music videos in awe. They rocked just as hard as the male bands. RIP Jan, you were my fav.
Jan and Lita are the Royals of unique and talented Female metal band guitarists, and both are two of the most talented and amazing guitarists of all time! Jan is so brilliant,amazing,gorgeous and important to Vixen and i absolutely adore her to this day! Was jan warming up to Uncle Toms Cabin when Janet walked in? They all look and sound magnificent! Absolutely spectacular!
Very talented ladies! Love "Rev it up" album. Every song rocks! Jan K came from Forest Lake, MN. I met her sister back in 1989, I was working at 7-11 in White Bear Lake and this lady with a signed Vixen shirt came in and I asked about it and she said Jan was her sister. Not sure if true or not but it did happen. RIP Jan!! Lost Michelle Meldrum of Phantom Blue as well. Rock on Ladies!!
This unification has inspired me to be the best of the best as a father and uncle as i can be. May God bless every one of these ladies for living their dream. From a man nicknamed POPS.
I watched this show back in the day but just started getting recommended these videos from out of no where in 2023. I'm getting really bummed out! Like every different band I'm watching from this show, I end up finding out one of the people have died since this show. RIP Jan. :/
Seen Vixen July 1989 with White Lion and Ozzy at the legendary Castle Farms Charlevoix Michigan. It was a great show. Great venue. Great place to call my home concert venue of my youth. I joined the Navy 4 days after this show. My last one at that great venue.
Vixen was as good as any of the guy-metal bands of the time, and better at live reproduction of their songs than most imho, but Jan was the heart and soul of that band. What a cool woman, great performer, and kick-ass guitarist! Miss you Jan, rest peacefully.
Whatever you are drinking / smoking / consuming, I think it’s had an effect on your critical thinking chip. Vixen were ok, just ok. During the 80s and early 90s the genre had the biggest hitters in it, it also had talent that out wrote, out played and out sold Vixen many times over. There’s a good reason for that, they just weren’t THAT good, they weren’t awful but don’t oversell them eh?
Jan is one of my favorite guitarists and I didn't even know about her till a few days ago. She can shred like no other. It was great that VH1 got them back together. It was like therapy and closure for Jan before she passed. I know that the others would have felt horrible leaving it the way they did.
I remember seeing them as opening band for Ozzy and thinking well shit this is the rare glam rock band who can actually play onstage. They sounded better than White Lion that night . Being 16 years old at the time I was not unimpressed with their look either. Definitely more pleasant to look at than Ozzy Osbourne or Geezer Butler lol
Omg you ladies won my heart all over again. Yall did magnificent job and I was so blessed to hear the bury the hatchet thing. At least you realized yall were still friends. I know each of you are heading down different roads of life. There are lots of things that could be done over the internet ,that being said I think yall should do a farewell album. And do four shows one in the north ,south,east and west as a farewell to vixen. You guys could do this without it interfering with your personal lives. It's just an idea I think it would be awesome. I love you guys,I have all respect for each of you and as a whole. God bless you all, Consider all things.
What an awesome show this was, thanks for uploading. I don't know why I'm always surprised when the Bands Reunited bands get onstage and kick @$$ -- it's like "duh, that's why they were rock stars"
This was actually such a great surprise. Had no idea I would watch the whole thing. By the way, Aamer Haleem was fantastic. he asked some really hard questions that were uncomfortable to them.. but did it with taste and touch and class. RIP Jan.
When I saw this program for the first time about 14 years ago, I had no idea who Vixen was. It was until years later in a live video with the classic training that I realized that it was an out of the ordinary band until it became my favorite Female Hard Rock band of all time. For the above, I gave myself the task of investigating a little more about the group, especially its founder: Jan Kuehnemund. What I found was one of the most fascinating, surprising and mysterious Rock stories I could have imagined. Jan's life is full of mysteries beginning with his age and date of birth. Although in the biography says he was born in 1961 and died in October 2013 at the age of 51, however there is information from the official obituary that states that he was actually born in November 1953. That's not all. The official biography mentions the founding of Vixen between 1981 and 1983 along with Janet Gardner, however I have found more data that indicate that Vixen already existed in the 70's and that the band was founded by Jan at the beginning of the 70`s, which would be logical to have an approximate age of 20 in 1973. This information does not match the official information. which indicates that she would have founded it at 10 years old. According to the information I found, this band was founded by Jan with guitarist Nancy Palumbo, hiring Laurie Hedlund on drums, Cindy Boettcher on keyboards (yes, Vixen had keyboardist!) And Gale DeMatoff on bass. This was the original band that Jan started playing with, starting in clubs and bars. It is a mystery that band, we are talking about a band before which is considered a pioneer in the genre, the famous The Runaways. Even more, the level reached by this band was higher opening concerts for artists such as Reo Speedwagon, Ted Nugent, Bob Seeger and the Rock Progressive Band Styx, something that Runaways never managed to do. This band disappeared as well as all or almost all the information related to its existence when the band moved to Los Angeles in 1979. The rest of the story is much better known. At that time, Jan would be around 30 years old, in a highly misogynous environment and where there is no place for adults, that may have been the reason for hiding his true age as well as erasing the memories of his previous band. To corroborate the above we would be talking about the first true all-female Rock band (and not The Runaways). I have not found any musical material from the Vixen of the 70's but if I have found evidence that the group recorded original material, hopefully and is rescued and made known that material and contribute to give it the place it deserves in the story to which it my is the female rock guitarist the biggest: Janice Lee Kuehnemund, a woman who never abandoned her dreams. Today her three amazing surviving bandmates Roxy, Janet and Share maintain the dream of being the best female Rock band of all times. I just learned sadly that Janet Gardner left the band definitively since January 16 of this year taking her place the former Femme Fatale Lorraine Lewis. Thanks Janet, the time you were at Vixen was enough for many of us to know you were the best. Share and Roxy will keep the Legend alive as far as you can go as we will never stop applauding you.
I set up for them !! Awesome ladies and I enjoyed my experience with them!!!! I was a lot younger than them and they showed me a hell of a time!!! Awesome ladies and they can play!!!!! Talented ladies!!! Period!!!💯❤️⭐️🌎🍀🔨🏈👍🏻✊🙏🇺🇸
I am always amazed how some of these people lives ended up. You would think with all the fame and fortune, these girls would never have to work again. Yet they all lead a lifestyle just like any other person with many working average paying jobs. I am sure that this gives many of us comfort who had dreams of becoming a actor, musician, etc but it never happened for us. We ended up with boring jobs, boring lives, and hardly enough money to pay the bills. Yet as I continue to watch these videos it seems that what really matters in life is how you treat people. Because in the end it don't matter how much money or fame you had. Everyone that knows you will judge you by how you treated them. To have people say that you were a good person rich or poor is probably the best gift you will ever receive.
They were all very beautiful and very talented. I'm glad Jan got a chance to get her feelings out, and to play one last time before she passed away. R.I.P. Jan, you will be sorely missed.
Wow, that was lucky that they got to do it at all. So sad.
Very sweet. She is having the time of her life right now, while we are stuck down here, in this shitshow.
Wow, I did not know that she passed away. RIP Jan.
I knew Jan and all I can say she was so sweet. I really miss her. Such a wonderful person.
They did her so wrong! She started the band in the first place. Share seems petty!
I know we all miss her. From the first I saw her in that B movie Hard Bodies (and Janet) that we're called DIAPER RASH! Vixen where good playing on stage in the movie!
She was a nice guitar player too.
I'm glad Jan got to do this before she passed away. She seemed really happy to be doing it again with her band.
Yes, absolutely. They all seem very genuine, and kind. I see all of their perspectives, and think they are all right, for different reasons. I kind of side with the bassist, most of all. She was being the most authentically supportive of the band, and their long term success. She has some integrity and the courage of her convictions.
Kind for the three to turn against one? And the one to start the band?
Those are facts!
Absolutely ❤❤❤ RIP
She passed away?
Today's youth will never have it as good as the 80s...
That is so very true!!

yes you are 100 precent right
Vixen is one of my favorites.
I always thought they were so under rated..
They all had talent and their music still ROCKS today..
I'm in tears... so loved them then, love them even more now. RIP Jan...
That sucks that she died :(
I'm crying too... I frequently re-watch their concert videos. They were awesome.
Out of all the Bands Reunited episodes, this one is the best one of all.
Agreed, this was one of the only ones where they were able to get back the entire original lineup for a show, no substitute players. Berlin was the only other one I remember them doing it with.
Just a suggestion. Not sure if you saw the Romeo Void reunion, but for me it was the most "I am REALLY happy to see you again" episode. Cheers!
Dustin Martin if Sandy West was still around and would have been great to get The Runaways to reunite. I know there's a little bit of war between some of them
Yeah, and it was one the few I think where they got all original members to come back for a show. A Flock of Seagulls, Berlin, and The Motels, I remember they all performed with original members.
Kajagoogoo and Haircut 100 also...
Thank you VH1…. For giving this band another shot….and showing the world what the 80’s rock scene was all about.
No, this wasn’t really the 80s rock scene, it was the corporate hellhole the music industry became, because far too many artists sold out for money, rather than being true to their principles. The bands that were true to their principles in the 80s like Throwing Muses, The Replacements, the Pixies (sadly now, the pixies shill for the man), broke the corporate nightmare up, into a million pieces in 1991-92. Good people, who allow self doubt and morons in suits, to sway them, from their intuition only extend the misery for those who have the courage of their convictions, and the bands who follow them.
@@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdiedthere you are again sunshine. You must be themjoy of your household.
Jan was always a guitar hero who would tear it up like no other. Loosing her was a major blow. Rest In Peace.
She’s the lucky one, eh? We are stuck fixing this mess, down here.
Jan is very missed every day
I cried like a baby when I heard she died.
I was lucky to be part of a band that opened for them and provided tech support for them several years in a row when they came thru ND SD and MN. They became our rock n roll sisters and we protected and enjoyed doing shows together! It was like a family reunion we all enjoyed. And yes my jaw dropped the first time I heard them play! Miss my sister's! Rip Jan.
That's so cool
What band were you in?
Cool story, thanks, 4 years later from me, for sharing.
@@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied Most boomers have no idea if they get replies, or even how to reply, so unfortunately this ends here.
@@ChrisPBacon3000 Maybe he doesn't check his prior posts to see if anyone made a snide comment.
They deserved more success than they got back in the day.
They did sell more than a million albums.
Yeah, I think many bands during that time were royally screwed over by the record companies. They were given short 2 record deals and even when they sold very well, they didn't get paid shit
They needed to write some good songs with great melodies and hooks or hire it out. Same goes for all bands for continued success. Still, they would have been killed off by Nirvana like all the rest of the hair bands.
@Bam Bam’s World That's nothing.. the population of the US is 330 million.. worldwide, 1 million is nothing
Janice "Gladys" Lynn Kuehnemund a Minnesota legend and hometown girl! I absolutely love Vixen and it really sucks I never got to see them live. I was crushed when Jan passed away 7 years ago. Such an underrated guitarist and backing vocalist. The amount of ass these rockers kicked cannot be understated. Vixen f'king rules! RIP Jan! We do miss you!
I think this was a lovely tribute, and a great episode, and these ladies seem really genuine. I preferred bands like Throwing Muses, for the quality of the music and lyrics, and for being true to themselves, through thick and thin.
Crazy that I am seeing this only now for the first time. I cried through most of the reunion and I didn't even realize Jan had died until I read the comments after watching the video. Thank you for the amazing music. I love you, Vixen.
I didn't realize she passed away until a few years after her death, i'm just glad they got tour with her in the 2000s before her passing.
Same here and she was so lovely too
Very cool that Jan got to at least find closure in a positive way and resolve the past issues and have a damn good time doing so. Great reunion Vixen! R.I.P my childhood crush Jan
That is the truth the 80s where the best I was born in 66 so I remember the 80s like it was yesterday I wish I could turn back time
Vixen were fabulous! What a great band. I'm a guy so naturally I was in love with all 4 of them. I broke down and wept uncontrollably when Jan died. Watch this episode of Bands Reunited with Vixen and feel the pain. I tear up when Janet talks about the meeting in the restaurant every time.
Jan was the sexiest Vixen. RIP you lovely.
Agree 100%
David J. Share was
she was a sweet person. i met them in rochester at the house of guitars. very nice great personality. and just plain gorgeous!!
Because Jan Kuehnemund passed away in 2013.
Damn, I had zero idea that this happened. She was always my favorite of the band.
I was huge Vixen fan. I grew up on this music. I cried a bit when Jan died...gone too soon :-(
I was very lucky. Right after this show, they went on a tour in Europe with Zakk Wylde and others. When they came back, they wanted to do some small shows to get polished. I had a music venue in Wichita, Ks-I booked them. It was not the exact same lineup. My band Ten Day Wish opened for them. And I was their sound mixer for the night. I asked them to run down one song-it was Edge of a Broken Heart. They stopped, I asked them if everything on stage was good-it was. They asked their road manager, and he aid "this guy's way better than everyone on the European tour". Jan passed away a couple of years after that. I was so fortunate to have worked with her!
I was in a band named Vendetta and we opened for these ladies in Waco,Texas in 1989.Love these ladies and Roxy and I talked about our kit's and gear...
Todd Cooper Dina hit it?
I saw a band called Vendetta in the early 90's in a huge bar close to Georgetown outside of DC.
I remember you guys !
No I don’t
I remember meeting Jan and the other girls backstage at a concert at Tennessee Tech University my senior year in college, just before they went big time. Still have a pick and scarf Jan gave me, and a drumstick. And to top if off, Jan asked me what my name was and I told them Jimmy, and she grabbed the other three and they sang a song they wrote called "Jimmy", to me personally. Hot chicks with a great metal sound! Good times!
bambamtn Omg! I’m a Jimmy too and I woulda died!!! So awesome
all these girls are still ridiculously hot...R.I.P.Jan...
They're not girls, there women real women that is!
Friggin' cancer sucks ass. Had a bout of it last year, I'm sorry Jan didn't get more time on this mortal coil.
Three outta the four. 😏👉
Real women don't act like guys.
MikeyBigWheel She was my idol ❤️❤️❤️
Who would have thunk that this show gave Vixen a whole new lease on life…..and still to this day. Jan’s vision was spot on…..rip.
RIP jan the backbone of Vixen and most talented lady she was my fav i did my hair like her's in the rock era x love ya jan beautiful person
I was fortunate enough to have seen them live with White Lion and Ozzy Osbourne in the late 80's. I was totally blown away how beautiful they were and still are. they really could play some kick ass music. That's a concert I'll never forget. Thank you Vixen and especially Jan. May you R.I.P.
Wow.You saw Vito Bratta,man!
I saw them on that tour as well, I was 16 years old then. It was the "No Rest for the Wicked" tour, 2nd concert I ever went to.
Never into Vixen back then but was an 80's metal head and in my own bands. So just decided to watch this and was very impressed and hoping to see these girls play, then see Jan has died of cancer before they reformed for a tour - gutted! RIP Jan Kuehnemund so sad
I was at the Milton Keynes gig! My first proper gig age 16! Great show!
Miton Keynes-Superbowl is a great stadium, I also saw the live UK Tour of hit musical: Starlight Express there as well in 1993 😎
Where in England you from Colin, I'm in Kent right between Dartford/Bexley 👍🏻
As a 14 year old boy in 88 I fell in love with them. Truthfully that first album has never left me. I had the cassette, then I bought the CD, and now it's top 3 on my playlist. The best thing I can say is my daughters Love Vixen.
RIP JAN!
My dad still has the original CD, with the HMV sticker still on it from 1989!
"Love is a killer. A homicidal fiend.." My favorite Vixen song. RIP Jan. Excellent guitarist!
Song was Written by Roxy Petrucci
I love them.
RIP Jan
I'm so glad they reunited.
No they don’t
They were a novelty band
4 hot chicks on stage
Like they were all fuckable then
Maybe one of them when this was filmed
No real talent
@@georgejetson1025 they all looked pretty hot still. Janet is a hottie still
I was lucky enough to see these ladies on tour opening for White Lion in Davenport Iowa when I was only 16 years old. This was my first concert and I have to say, the most memorable one. I was a young aspiring guitarist who couldn't wait to see Vito Bratta play live. When Vixen took the stage, I was blown away by their live performance. But above and beyond the excellence of both White Lion and Vixen that I was lucky enough to witness that evening, I left the venue with an everlasting admiration Jan's playing. And of course, being within the confines of my 16 yr. old hormone imprisonment, she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life.
I was in the front row just below Jan's spot on the stage, and spent the entire duration of Vixen's set standing in a puddle of my own drool, LOL! I started that day excited to see Vito play, and it ended by me not being able to stop thinking about this ultra beautiful and talented female guitarist I was now in love with, lol. Thanks for the great memories. R.I.P. Jan, you are AMAZING!!!!!
Hey, as a fellow guitar player she was a melodic player and beautiful as well. Would have loved to see how she developed. Miss her and I hope she is jamming up there.
Great video....Jan was a beautiful person inside and out...Always so sweet and kind...Damn cancer...May God bless her always...I miss her so much 😍😍😍
Hell yeah F cancer. ❤
I'm a 32 year old guy.
And i loved this band ever sense i heard them as a teenager in the early 2000's.
Jan was a very good guitar player. They didn't need another guitar player.
No they didn't. Worst decision ever.
Irrelevant. Live Dokken (even in 1988) sounded thin because there was only one George not 24 track George. Warren DeMartini without a second guitar harmonizing and more? Not as interesting to listen to. Much less dynamic.
@@Limited_Light Nah, they didn't need another player. Janet played guitar too so if they needed to fill any holes she could have done it.
@@LinkRocks Hence, there WAS a second player to begin with, you say? So, you're making my point for me?
What made them good was going out of fashion though, that's why the second album didn't sell. If they changed they're style at least they had a shot, because their brand of polished pop metal was radioactive by 1992.
The best of the 80's!!! You gotta love 'em!!!!
I was born in '97, but Vixen is my favorite band. I'm a big fan of the 80's band, especially the glam metal scene and when I first listened to these girls in 2011 I fell in love in that exactly moment. Jan is one of my guitar heroes (alongside with Joe Perry from Aerosmith and Warren DeMartini from Ratt), Janet is a magician with her voice, Roxy is a war machine behind the drums and Share is a bass queen. Love Vixen forever! R.I.P Jan!
I was at that Milton Keynes gig Vixen smashed it, skid row were good too 👍
I saw them in Yokosuka Japan as a young US Marine in 1984.... in a small venue they blew me away, especially when Janet introduced herself being from my hometown of Bozeman, Montana! I also was really into bands like Scorpions, Def Leopard etc... and these women could ROCK! I’ve even got some old photos somewhere. I’m SO glad they got together this one last time. Hopefully they will continue in some way. They Still Have IT!
I worked at a store called Rock On. Sold Rock n Roll shirts, posters and other stuff. Had a customer come in almost once a week looking for a VIXEN shirt. When we finally got a some we called him and he came in and bought them all. TRUE FAN!! Watching this brought back that memory. This was well worth the watch but I just hoped they would have showed more of them. 🎶🎶
and went home and jacked off all over them, because he was a huge loser
Augford P. Doggie. You're the loser since you have to resort to comments like that to get attention.
This was way back in the 90's or more recently?
Metal Goddess! RIP Jan! Minnesota will NEVER forget you!
I had such a mad crush on her. Always loved the striped hair she wore back in the 80s, that was so unique!!!
Roxy is so kind and funny. Gotta love her!!
Especially when she said; "I play with myself"...... Referring to her Double Kicker TAMA
I love that she didn’t even wait for them to ask her if she’d consider reuniting with Jan, Janet and Share. “Yes, I will do a Vixen reunion!”
I absolutely loved this show... Got goose bumps every episode! Thanks for rebooting the memories ❤️
Jan is kinda funny when she states (about bringing in another guitar player) "If I couldn't play something"....... Jan was an awesome guitar player...check out all of her guitar solos........wow. RIP Jan
These girls rocked and were an awesome band. Thanks for posting this episode. I love Vixen.
LIKEWISE! In my opinion, back then, if you were a male rocker, rocker girls/ladies (take your pick) or female rockers were the reason WHY you went to school (although your studies counted, as well!), the mall, and concerts!
So sad to have not to be able to see this awesome lady rock guitarist. R.I.P. Jan.
the 80's n 90's were the best decades they had the best music
One of my guilty pleasures. Jan looked so happy onstage again. She was always my favorite. They are all beautiful.
Well there's nothing wrong with appreciation for the beautiful women neither it's a guilty pleasure. I remember a video where Vixen fanboys attending their sign event because they're hot. You guys had Samantha Fox, Vixen and Kim Wilde meanwhile we had Bon Jovi, Mötley Crüe, Poison etc.
I have so many great memories listening to these women. A great band of the era, or any other
I remember I grew up on vixen, my dad would play their music all the time. We sat down and watched this when I was maybe 7 or 8, watching it now brings me back to so many good childhood memories. One of my favorite 80s bands for sure
These girls are very very likeable spirits. Awesome.
This is so amazing!!! I love this so much! Vixen is the band that keeps me alive! Rest In Peace Jan! never forgotten ♥♥♥♥
The Comfort In Static
The Comfort In Static same here, had no clue.
Thompson twins what a jol vixen were hot Joe cocker a legend I had the privillage to see him at sun city RSA Angela young u rock class of 86 rock on eighties william rustenburg southafrica
saraya 80s Found out she died earlier today...I was heartbroken.
saraya 80s same here.love vixen.so sad that Jan died.she was amazing.
I was but a child in the 80s (born 1978), but my brother introduced me to everything good in the 80s. Glam, Thrash, everything! Thanks Bro! Love ya!
I feel blessed to say I am friends with them and especially with Share who is such an incredible musician and human being.
She was so very, very special And was so from the start
his heart
And like a single drop of rain That on still waters fall,
Her life did ripples make And touched the lives of all.
She's gone to play with angels In heaven up above
So keep your special memories And treasure them with love
Although your darling daughter Was with you just a while
She'll live on in your heart With a sweet remembered smile.
I love Jan
2022 They Still Rock 🤘🖤🔥
Saw them at the height of their fame in the late 80's in a small club in Birmingham UK called the Hummingbird. They absolutely smashed it.. standing ten feet away and it was just perfect.
I was there too in the summer of 89....at Hummingbird, Birmingham.....managed to grab few guitar picks from Jan..awesome ......
Wow, that was actually kinda tear jerking. These ladies were the real deal deal and could rock on any stage with the best of them! I just hope that whatever happened after this that they all remained friends and put to bed any unresolved pains and issues. Rest in peace, Jan 🌹
I played bass on Bubble's second album " total harmonic distortion" and toured England and Japan with Shar and her husband/ drummer/ cowriter Bam Ross ( he played in the English band Dogs d'amour ) .they did 3 albums ( the first had faster pussycat members) and the little snippet of a video they show when talking to Shar is from Bubble's third album , ( which is EXCELLENT) . Shari's attitude and punkish stylings was so great to be reminded of our time together, playing the south by southwest, Edem festival in Vegas and a month touring England, a week in Tokyo and dozens of gigs in greater LA. But this just popped up on my algorithm and blew me away, so much history.
Who is bubbles?
Mike from North County St Louis Ferguson I remember seeing Vixen in a little Club several times and they sold the bar out every time they showed up
I'm 64 years old and I remember them still to this day they could play rock and roll and they were a piece of the pie that kept me going as well as a few other bands in my musical career...
you girls kicked it
All three my bandmates are gone now from my original group from those early days I'm glad you all got to experience it
the reunion😎
I always liked Vixen's music, but I had no idea that all four members had such great broadcast personalities. They seemed like professionals at public speaking in this. They could all be talk show hosts. That was really cool to see. This documentary also made a fascinating story.
The era lives on ladies ! Truly a contribution to rock music history !!
Watching them reminded me of an interesting time in my life. I discovered Vixen as a Sgt. in the Army while in Desert Shield/Storm. I was given a pass to go to the USO/Saudi market and found both albums on cassette. I liked the look of the ladies and bought them for my Walkman. I immediately fell in love in love with the band and still love listening to them. Joined the fan club and never heard anything after that. I remember that back then I fell for Shane and after seeing her in this reunion show. She is still just as beautiful as always. Just wish I could get something knitted from her.
Jan, you were a great rock guitarist. In the end, you got the closure, and respect from the others that you rightly deserved. Amen. R.I.P.
They're all still HOT! Their biggest hit was given to them by Richard Marx.
I love these girls. They will always have a place in my heart.
Just watching it - great band. I saw the Milton Keynes show that Jan mentioned and they were superb.
Thru the years I find myself always popping in a Vixen CD to get my fix for the Sexiest Metal ever made. All of them amazing performers and amazing musicians, how that 1st album didn't hit platinum 5 times over is beyond me. In the Service I visited many countries and people all over the world wore their T-Shirts and played that album, I'm thinking the record companies lied to them to greedily keep that money. Love these Ladies of Mayhem, Vixen was the absolute in their day.
Jan you will forever be missed by legions of fans who were all fortunate and privileged enough to hear the music You, Janet, Share & Roxy wrote. Rest in Piece Beautiful Angel of Metal!
every time the showed flashbacks to their 80s/early 90s performances and videos, I got a little emotional. Such good times. I may not have been alive but thank god I have a mom who was in love with them and recorded everything and I was able to spend my childhood watching those tapes. RIP JAN! VIXEN FOREVER!
namjoon stan great pity they didn't show the whole of the show. UK fan
You both sound gay
namjoon stan I was 11 in 1988 when Edge of a Broken Heart was their first single. They never really were more popular than that first album... not really one hit wonder status, but close.
Jan Johansen You have zero clue what you are talking about
The very fact that the band did not go.on despite the little attempt to replace the founder IS PROOF that relationships and PEOPLE were far more important to most people The founder could have easily kept the band going since she started it and replaced those who tried to replace her but she didn't
Why didn't she ? Ego? Greed? No it's because she was hurt about the betrayal from those she thought were her close friends
The 80s DID NOT SUCK AT ALL .PEOPLE CARED MORE ABOUT PEOPLE BACK THEN
THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE BACK THEN WERE NOTHING LIKE TODAY
TODAY PEOPLE ARE SO QUICK TO SAY ALL TYPES OF NEGATIVE NONSENSE AMD RUDE CRITICAL, OPINIONATED , STATEMENTS AND ACT LIKE THEY ARE FACTS.THE FACTS ARE WE COULD REALLY TRUST PEOPLE MORE BACK THEN WE USED TO CONSIDER OTHER PEOPLES FEELINGS.WE USED THE GO ALL OUT TO HELP EACH OTHER THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS SELFIES BACK THEN YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN ANYONE TAKING A PICTURE OF THER OWN SELF THAT WOULD HABE BEEN CONSIDERED REALLY WIERD
IT IS A VERY WELL KNOWN FACT THAT TODAY THERE EXISTS MORE NARCISSISTIC EGO DRIVEN PEOPLE THEN EVER BEFORE.THIS IS KNOWN AS THE MOST EGOTISTICAL ERA IN U.S HISTORY.PEOPLE DONT CARE THE HELP THE DOWN AND OUT OR OTHERS AS MUCH AND I HAVE NOTICED PEOPLE DONT TRUST EACHOTHER MUCH ANYMORE AT ALL.YOU MUST LOCK YIUR DOOR AT NIGHT AND NEVER LEAVE YOUR WALLET JUST LAYING AROUND. WE USED TO DO THAT BACK THEN AND NO ONE WOULD STEAL IT.
namjoon stan That's beautiful You know Us men who don't feel insecure about our masculinity are not afraid the show emotions.My wife loves that I never hide my true feelings behind some macho man mask of insecurities. She actually says only the strongest men are not intimidated by doing that
I love them. Ill always remember them for that hair. I was a teen the entire 80s.All are still hot but Roxy damn! Girl didn't change.
all I can say is BAD ASS! and BEAUTIFUL!!..STILL!! rip Jan always an angel.
Ty for posting this. Back when all this happened u never knew what the real story was. I loved Vixen and still do and i'm a man's man.. They sure could rock. Lucky i was in my 20's thru the 80's . Rip Jan..
I didn't know they'd done this. What a treat to see them back if only for a night. I'm glad Jan agreed to do this because sometimes it's very difficult to face people who you had a rough time with. I sure wish she hadn't died. This made them all happy and it was worth the wait.
Supershow!!! I love Vixen very much!
One of my favorite bands. Very nice to see them together again.
I really enjoyed it. It was a pleasant nostalgic trip down to late 80s. I recall watching their music videos in awe. They rocked just as hard as the male bands. RIP Jan, you were my fav.
Jan and Lita are the Royals of unique and talented Female metal band guitarists, and both are two of the most talented and amazing guitarists of all time!
Jan is so brilliant,amazing,gorgeous and important to Vixen and i absolutely adore her to this day!
Was jan warming up to Uncle Toms Cabin when Janet walked in? They all look and sound magnificent! Absolutely spectacular!
Very talented ladies! Love "Rev it up" album. Every song rocks! Jan K came from Forest Lake, MN. I met her sister back in 1989, I was working at 7-11 in White Bear Lake and this lady with a signed Vixen shirt came in and I asked about it and she said Jan was her sister. Not sure if true or not but it did happen. RIP Jan!! Lost Michelle Meldrum of Phantom Blue as well. Rock on Ladies!!
This unification has inspired me to be the best of the best as a father and uncle as i can be. May God bless every one of these ladies for living their dream. From a man nicknamed POPS.
THERE ALL BEAUTIFUL IN THE 80. STILL SOUND GREAT TO DAY
i love vixen
Me to
oh man!!! so many memories coming back!! those years were incredible. I loved and still love Share.
I watched this show back in the day but just started getting recommended these videos from out of no where in 2023. I'm getting really bummed out! Like every different band I'm watching from this show, I end up finding out one of the people have died since this show. RIP Jan. :/
Seen Vixen July 1989 with White Lion and Ozzy at the legendary Castle Farms Charlevoix Michigan. It was a great show. Great venue. Great place to call my home concert venue of my youth. I joined the Navy 4 days after this show. My last one at that great venue.
God Rest Jan... Lovely Woman & Great Guitar Player...
Vixen was as good as any of the guy-metal bands of the time, and better at live reproduction of their songs than most imho, but Jan was the heart and soul of that band. What a cool woman, great performer, and kick-ass guitarist! Miss you Jan, rest peacefully.
Lol. Even you don't believe that.
Better than a lot of the bands, who were so busy trying to be other bands, Vixen were a real band!
Whatever you are drinking / smoking / consuming, I think it’s had an effect on your critical thinking chip. Vixen were ok, just ok. During the 80s and early 90s the genre had the biggest hitters in it, it also had talent that out wrote, out played and out sold Vixen many times over. There’s a good reason for that, they just weren’t THAT good, they weren’t awful but don’t oversell them eh?
Better than the band Poison and couple other male bands , but thats about it .
Women just can't do anything better than men......even if men wanted to be better at croché, they could.
Big Respect for these Gals, from an ol battle scared Rocker !
❤ from La Belle Province Gatineau Quebec Canada 🇨🇦
Still Rockin 2023 😊
RIP, she was the band.... she was so awesome. I had a huge crush on her.
Jan is one of my favorite guitarists and I didn't even know about her till a few days ago. She can shred like no other. It was great that VH1 got them back together. It was like therapy and closure for Jan before she passed. I know that the others would have felt horrible leaving it the way they did.
Yea, can you imagine if the reunion never happened back then!
Janet Gardner was awesome and beautiful and she rocks :-)
Always, VIXEN . Bless all four of you; miss you Jan.
I remember seeing them as opening band for Ozzy and thinking well shit this is the rare glam rock band who can actually play onstage. They sounded better than White Lion that night . Being 16 years old at the time I was not unimpressed with their look either. Definitely more pleasant to look at than Ozzy Osbourne or Geezer Butler lol
Omg you ladies won my heart all over again. Yall did magnificent job and I was so blessed to hear the bury the hatchet thing. At least you realized yall were still friends. I know each of you are heading down different roads of life. There are lots of things that could be done over the internet ,that being said I think yall should do a farewell album. And do four shows one in the north ,south,east and west as a farewell to vixen. You guys could do this without it interfering with your personal lives. It's just an idea I think it would be awesome. I love you guys,I have all respect for each of you and as a whole. God bless you all, Consider all things.
Remember them in dat beach movie hard bodies
So awesome, I regret never seeing them in concert.
What an awesome show this was, thanks for uploading. I don't know why I'm always surprised when the Bands Reunited bands get onstage and kick @$$ -- it's like "duh, that's why they were rock stars"
SO SO GOOD !!!! R.I.P.Jan , You will be sorely missed sister rocker....
This was actually such a great surprise. Had no idea I would watch the whole thing. By the way, Aamer Haleem was fantastic. he asked some really hard questions that were uncomfortable to them.. but did it with taste and touch and class. RIP Jan.
When I saw this program for the first time about 14 years ago, I had no idea who Vixen was. It was until years later in a live video with the classic training that I realized that it was an out of the ordinary band until it became my favorite Female Hard Rock band of all time. For the above, I gave myself the task of investigating a little more about the group, especially its founder: Jan Kuehnemund. What I found was one of the most fascinating, surprising and mysterious Rock stories I could have imagined. Jan's life is full of mysteries beginning with his age and date of birth. Although in the biography says he was born in 1961 and died in October 2013 at the age of 51, however there is information from the official obituary that states that he was actually born in November 1953. That's not all. The official biography mentions the founding of Vixen between 1981 and 1983 along with Janet Gardner, however I have found more data that indicate that Vixen already existed in the 70's and that the band was founded by Jan at the beginning of the 70`s, which would be logical to have an approximate age of 20 in 1973. This information does not match the official information. which indicates that she would have founded it at 10 years old. According to the information I found, this band was founded by Jan with guitarist Nancy Palumbo, hiring Laurie Hedlund on drums, Cindy Boettcher on keyboards (yes, Vixen had keyboardist!) And Gale DeMatoff on bass. This was the original band that Jan started playing with, starting in clubs and bars. It is a mystery that band, we are talking about a band before which is considered a pioneer in the genre, the famous The Runaways. Even more, the level reached by this band was higher opening concerts for artists such as Reo Speedwagon, Ted Nugent, Bob Seeger and the Rock Progressive Band Styx, something that Runaways never managed to do. This band disappeared as well as all or almost all the information related to its existence when the band moved to Los Angeles in 1979. The rest of the story is much better known. At that time, Jan would be around 30 years old, in a highly misogynous environment and where there is no place for adults, that may have been the reason for hiding his true age as well as erasing the memories of his previous band. To corroborate the above we would be talking about the first true all-female Rock band (and not The Runaways). I have not found any musical material from the Vixen of the 70's but if I have found evidence that the group recorded original material, hopefully and is rescued and made known that material and contribute to give it the place it deserves in the story to which it my is the female rock guitarist the biggest: Janice Lee Kuehnemund, a woman who never abandoned her dreams. Today her three amazing surviving bandmates Roxy, Janet and Share maintain the dream of being the best female Rock band of all times.
I just learned sadly that Janet Gardner left the band definitively since January 16 of this year taking her place the former Femme Fatale Lorraine Lewis. Thanks Janet, the time you were at Vixen was enough for many of us to know you were the best. Share and Roxy will keep the Legend alive as far as you can go as we will never stop applauding you.
I set up for them !! Awesome ladies and I enjoyed my experience with them!!!! I was a lot younger than them and they showed me a hell of a time!!! Awesome ladies and they can play!!!!! Talented ladies!!! Period!!!💯❤️⭐️🌎🍀🔨🏈👍🏻✊🙏🇺🇸
NIce to see Vixen still had exactly the same magic on stage despite some of their differences. Great band.
I am always amazed how some of these people lives ended up. You would think with all the fame and fortune, these girls would never have to work again. Yet they all lead a lifestyle just like any other person with many working average paying jobs. I am sure that this gives many of us comfort who had dreams of becoming a actor, musician, etc but it never happened for us. We ended up with boring jobs, boring lives, and hardly enough money to pay the bills. Yet as I continue to watch these videos it seems that what really matters in life is how you treat people. Because in the end it don't matter how much money or fame you had. Everyone that knows you will judge you by how you treated them. To have people say that you were a good person rich or poor is probably the best gift you will ever receive.
