http://www.myspace.com/queentantrum Influences Current albums in Queen Tantrum's CD player: Dream Theater, Disturbed, Tori Amos, Type O Negative and Skunk Anansie. Queen Tantrum says: "Since I can remember, I listened to rock; I adored 80s rock and still do. I remember performing a dance exam to Aerosmith's 'Rag Doll' around the age of, ooo, seven or eight. Looking back I can only imagine what the examiners were thinking. 'Rag doll livin' in a movie, hot tramp, daddy's little cutie, she's so fine I never heard her leavin' by the back door...' These long-haired rockers who wore more makeup than any woman I knew (apart from maybe Elvira) became my inspiration. I remember always singing along to their songs and wanting to be as wild as them. I have never stopped listening to rock music. It's not just the music that influenced me, it's the complete passion for the music and wild abandon that bands such as Aerosmith, Motley Crue and Guns 'n' Roses lived their lives by. Youth Gone Wild? No comment. Also, being a classical musician I will always have a passion for Wolfie and Ludwig. I am also rediscovering Gospel all over again at the moment, due to looking for song ideas for my new project, and Shirley Caesar blows me away! Who else have I been listening to...Tonex, Hezekiah Walker, Kirk Franklin, The Winans family...ooo, many, many more. Bishop TD Jakes has some wonderful music, with sensational guest vocalists, check him out if you can, he is very inspirational. And Yoland
