Search - Bitch :: Be My Slave

Heavy metal singers aren t commonly thought of as sex objects. Too much complex facial hair and bad tattoos. Too sad. Hey Mr. Xasthur, why so down in the dumps? There are exceptions of course: Lita Ford, lee Aaron, Doro, Nashville Pussy, The Great Kat when she s not acting too crazy, Tuesdae from Huntress. But none of them can really compete with Bitch. Not only is front-woman Betsy a tough-as-nails stone cold fox, but their first two albums are certified sleaze rock classics. 1983 s Be My Slave is a master class in headbanging S&M soaked leather heavy metal. Back in the early 80s this album drew the attention of the Parents Music Resource Centre. Mostly made up by bored housewives of United States Senators, the PMRC decided that they needed to protect our children from the dangers of music and tits. These people came up with a Filthy Fifteen list that included people like Prince and Sheena Easton, but also Venom, Mercyful Fate, AC/DC, and WASP among others. Bitch weren t on that list, but PMRC bitch Tipper Gore was frequently seen parading around on television showing a copy of Be My Slave as an example of the horrors awaiting teenagers in the record store isles of America.
