Who was the Hottest Axe Woman Ever
This is a musical topic that many men will be able to agree on hopefully; a woman playing a guitar is hot. Though we may not agree with who the hottest is, we can all agree that the first time we saw a strong independent femme fatale shredding on her six string, it sent shivers through us. Whether it was Joan Jett snarling during the early days of MTV, or Avril Lavigne whining about her teenage angst, women with axes are here to stay. Let’s have a look at the top contenders for Hottest Axe Woman Ever.
Joan Jett
The slim and grim lady in jet black is as ferocious as she is beautiful. She set the tone for the new punk rock vixens for the 80′s and after.
Lita Ford
Before the duet with Ozzy Ozborne “Close My Eyes Forever” dropped her into our collective laps, Lusty Lita was shredding and ripping up hearts and strings through the late 70′s and the 80′s.
Jewel
No one said the hottest contenders have to be heavy metal or punk rockers. Jewel is divine to watch and listen to, and you feel the urge to just squeeze her and avenge all of the ills that are in her songs.
Lucinda Williams
This alt-country darlin’ isn’t your prototypical axe wielding rock goddess, but make no mistake, her chops and songwriting skills put her on par with almost any woman in the countdown or otherwise. Her sex appeal truly comes from her strength of character and her gentle swagger. She doesn’t take herself too seriously, but doesn’t let others walk on her either.
Ani DiFranco
The head of Righteous Babe Records is the indie, alternative, underground, be it all, and do-it-yourself champion that every girl can look up to. She employs 20 different tunings, hires some of the best musicians, writes some of the most eclectic and inspired songs and has done it all her way. She wears 4-foot long dreads, has awesome tattoos and piercings, and is as intelligent as your College History teacher is. If you don’t think that is hot, then there is no help for you. Ani is the hottest axe woman by far.
