Jada Pinkett Smith Lives Out Her Axl Rose Dreams

http://www.vh1.com/news/a...stid=99548

Will Smith's wife fronts her band metal rock band...Wicked Wisdom...

And her influences??

"Pinkett Smith, who listened to everything from Duran Duran to Led Zeppelin, John Coltrane, Prince, Pink Floyd and Mozart as a kid, described the feeling of rocking onstage as being wholly different from kicking ass as Niobe in "The Matrix" sequels."

Wicked Wisdom huh? Well when it comes to an actor or actress fronting a band, I hope she's better at it then Keanu Reeves and Bruce Willis.

eek I must be the only one who saw her band perform on Leno last week. IT was a trainwreck of epic proportions.

She has the money to back her interests on a bigger scale.

I've posted about WW on here a few times. I like Something Inside of Me and one or two others off the latest album but I also liked their first album which was non-metal but this seems to be the route they're sticking to.

I agree. They're a great band with rockin' songs and Juliette is more believable as a front woman than Jada. Juliette is rockin' out (almost) in the style of Iggy and The Stooges.

That's terrible. That means that Jada only got on because she's a celebrity. There are thousands of bands out there who could've used that exposure.

I have not heard the music, and her husband is one of my favorite rappers and actors, so I will give here the benefit of listening to it. However, I did notice on the band's tour dates she is playing the house of blues. No matter if the band is awesome or if they suck, that is one cool place to do a show IMO. biggrin

One day I hope to play there, so all the best to her band there! That would be really exciting I would imagine.
