Janice Lynn Kuehnemund (/ˈkuːnəmənd, ˈkjuː-, ˈkiː-/; November 18, 1953[1] – October 10, 2013)[2] was an American guitarist who founded the all-female hard rock/glam metal band Vixen.

Lemon Pepper became Genesis[citation needed] was later renamed Vixen to prevent confusion with the same-named English band before breaking up in 1974.

Gardner, Petrucci, and Ross (née Pedersen) formed their own band JanetShareRoxyGina (aka JSRG) with 1997 Vixen guitarist Gina Stile.

[12][13][14][15] In a 2011 interview then-frontwoman Jenna Sanz-Agero confirmed that a second album featuring the 2001 Vixen line-up was in the works and revealed the existence of a track called "I Understand" along with other new recordings and outtakes from Live & Learn.

Gardner, Ross, and Petrucci claimed a reunion was in the works until Kuehnemund's diagnosis which she never disclosed publicly and after her death they decided to use the Vixen name again "in her honor".
