Anneke van Giersbergen, ex-vocalist of the Dutch (formerly) metal band The Gathering, her solo project Aqua de Annique and now her own name. Quite an amazing lady, who went from beautiful to more beautiful in the late 90's, then suddenly she lost her long hair, went crusty, yuck. Later she let it grow again and lost the crustiness. Great!

I am afraid I have to make a confession: It is entirely possible that I might suffer from what some may call a 'hair fetish'. Psychologists might as a result have some interesting and rather logical conclusions to draw from the fact that I myself am 'blessed' with a virtually bald pate. Be that as it may, ever since I first saw the video clips for 80s rock classics such as Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" (check out from 2'44") and Kiss' "Lick it Up" I found myself easily enchanted by headbanging females, in particular when they are endowed with a fine head of hair.
They say there is nothing weird or bizarre enough that it can't be found on the Internet, however headbanging ladies seem not weird and certainly not bizarre enough...I couldn't find any sites dedicated to women banging their heads off, so I figured I'd set up a site myself.

This site needs more pictures and video clips, that's obvious. Chances are, since you're reading this, you may have some stuff lying around. You're more than welcome to send it to me using the "YES! I WANT TO SEND PICTURES!" link below. They may be of celebrities, but they can also be friends of yours, or strangers you just happened to have photographed somewhere. NO CRUSTIES, NO MINORS AND NO PORN PLEASE. And a short description would be welcome. Links to Youtube clips are more than welcome too.

 

--> YES! I WANT TO SUBMIT PICTURES! <--

 

 

Discworld author Terry Pratchett had an interesting theory about 'idea particles'. Basically, certain ideas fly through the universe and hit human brains. Indeed, some particles may hit more than just one susceptible mind. It is therefore entirely possible that others have also deemed the subject of Headbanging Beauties worthy of an Internet-based tribute.
This is the place where links to such sites may be placed. If you know of any, don't be shy and send an email using the 'contact the maintainer of these pages' link at the bottom.
Anyway, the idea particle meant above struck my brain at Graspop, Dessel, Belgium, on July 6th 2002, when I saw a friend banging her head to Norwegian black metal band Immortal. There you go, Margriet :-)

 

Fellow tributes to females banging their heads:

 

So far the idea particle seems only to have struck my mind. Pity.
