VH / Brenski You are both wrong because Suzi Quatro is the most successful female bass player ever!
She is still rocking after over 50 years and most of the others have vanished!

What are you calling successful
If having a string of chart hits in the 70's is your measure of success, then yes she was successful. Since then she has head lined to smaller and smaller audiences, even taken part in tours that feature a number artists designed to generate ticket sales. She has also done what you have said AL will end up doing Cruise Ship appearances.
Her biggest hits were not written by her. She fronted a group of people including her husband and various musical partners who wrote played and produced.
As a side note Kate Bush was the first woman in the uk to have a number one single with a self penned song, by then Quatro's sales were dropping. Kate Bush also played multiple nights at The Hammersmith Apollo a few years ago. Suzie Quatro hasn't headlined that sized venue in at least 30 years.
Yes she plays Bass, so what there are plenty of other women who play instruments and compose more than she ever has.

American-born singer, songwriter, and bassist Suzi Quatro was one of the first female musicians to front her own band. Diminutive and blond, she sang and played a bass guitar nearly as tall as she was. "I was the first rock 'n' roll successful female who led a band of men and seriously played an instrument," she told Jennifer Selway in a 2002 interview for London's Express. "It hasn't been done since either." During the 1970s she was a massive success in Britain and Europe, enjoying a string of glam-rock hits that sold 45 million copies in all; three decades later she still had a cult following. Quatro, asserted Jane Hall of the Newcastle, England, Journal, "forged the standard to which all electric guitar-wielding females aspire to [sic] today."

Yeah I'm sure Nancy Wilson has spent the last 50 years wishing she was Suzie Quatro.
Quatro tells it the way she does because she is selling what she does. There is no getting away from the fact that her success came from working with already successful song writers, producer and manager. She played Bass and sung ( co wrote yes, but not any of her major 70's hits).
About her playing a Bass that was as tall as her, she played a Fender Precision usually, they are about four feet in length, she is taller than four feet.
Your regional reporter seems to have confused Bass with Guitar in that last comment, and if you speak to most female guitarists who are serious musicians, they want to be able to play like successful guitar players not a pop singer who happened to play Bass performing songs that were written for her.

Perhaps you need to speak to Suzi and she would wipe the floor with you.[/QUOTE]

Re: Sizi Quattro
You'd have thought that, continuing to sport that cat-suit, she'd have done some work to those rubbish tits of her's. Appeared to have the body of a small boy - which, of course, some people may like - sort of Steve Marriott-like but absent the voice or guirate playing talent.

@Brenski I thought you said if i do not bother you then you will not bother me but it seems that promise has been broken!
A bit like Gerry Adam's promising Northern Ireland no more killings!

Dont speak to me of been aggressive when you are the biggest cunt on the web site.
I bet you would not say half the stuff you do if it had to be done face to face, and for someone like you who says Queen
are his favourite band you then abuse them by throwing bottles on to the stage in 1982, at Milton Keynes Bowl,
you are one fucked up knob head.

Brenski You still hurled bottles on to Queens stage and that itself is a disgrace if you call yourself a Queen fan which i barely doubt you are.
