Roxana Shirazi

Roxana Shirazi first entered the rock scene when she was working as a – get this – belly dancer! Her family moved to London after feeling the revolution happening in their home country of Iran. In the UK capital, she got to know bands like Guns N’ Roses and Black Cherry. Like some of the other women on the list, she penned a tell-all book about her romances with rock stars.

Pleather

Do we really need to explain just how special Pleather is? For one thing, he is the only non-female groupie who made it to our list. That’s right, men can be groupies as well. The ultimate groupie was rather notorious in the LA scene during the ‘80s and ‘90s. He established himself in the scene when he started to follow The Bangles, L7, and Courtney Love during those days. Des Barres even interviewed him about that time and he primarily talked about Courtney Love.
