The documentary about this band is heartbreaking. Nobody was watching out and protecting them. They had a lot of talent and each had epic careers. Yet they were totally exploited. Oh and let's address that they were all just children.... not 1 member was 18 in this video.
Joan Jett and Lita Ford were already over 18 at this time. But yeah., they were messed around a lot.
Jackie went on to make a documentary about the band featuring all the members called "Edge Play" Not s stunning film but hearing Sandy West talk about what her life was like post band is worth the watch.
@@mokumboi19, several of the members came to have been sexually abused and drugged. They were children when they went on a overseas tour, without parents supervision. You should watch the interviews with them as adults.
@@kathrynrichards2343 Yeah, I'm aware of all this. What made you think I wasn't? I simply corrected your mistaken claim about their ages in this video.
Michael Steel, was a founding member of the Runaways, but left due to desexualised harassment, not sure of full story but someone at the label wanted something from her, others didn’t back her up so she left, before this, she became the Bassist for the Bangles in 83 and through their most popular era. Their were allot and prob still are unscrupulous people involved in the industry unfortunately where money and exploitation are opportunistic-these people flourish because good people do nothing.
JUST BECAUSE NOONE EVER MENTIONS THIS:...Micki Steel the bassist...a founding member of The Runaways...IS THE BASSIST FOR THE BANGLES.
Did not know that, thanks
Huh. I never knew that either.
Michael Steele was in fact a member for a short time, however she never played on a recording and had been replaced by Jackie Fox by this point.
@@Knightveil FOUNDING member. And yes we all knew she moved on. Just so you know....so did the rest of them.
That's all right Dan I knew it.
And don’t forget Lita Ford there on lead guitar! You guys reacted to her before.
Joan Jett is and always has been primarily a rythm guitar player.
The lead singer is Cherrie Curry, and she was the fulltime lead singer for The Runaways.
Runaways actually released a third album without Cherrie Curry.
Sometimes the song isn't about the vocals so much as the message, or the lyrics or the style. These girls were all teenagers, and there were no FEMALE bands doing this kind of rebellious music at the time. Everything about this song and this video was smashing boundaries. There would be no Miley Cyrus if not for these girls.
Yep. NOBODY was doing this when they did. It wasn’t ladylike. 😂 Scr*w ladylike.
Sad part Im old enough to confirm what you say because I lived through that time.
@@mikebrase5161 but you’re lucky to have lived a great time to be alive in terms of music 🤘🏻
there was the band Fanny before them. Check them out if you don't know them, they're fantastic! In fact i just learned that Cherie Currie and Brie Darling from Fanny in 2019 did a cover of Marc Bolans' Motivator together and its' terrific--check that out too.
They had a few predecessors like The Luv'd Ones, Fanny, and The Pleasure Seekers. The latter in particular as they were also 15-16 years old and were presented as teenage jailbait, but all were female rock bands formed in the late 1960s. Many consider Fanny the first all-female hard rock band but personally, I think calling Fanny "hard rock" is a bit of a stretch. That title probably belongs to The Runaways, but as far as all-female proto-punk/garage rock bands there were a handful but only Fanny and The Runaways would have any real success, as fleeting as it was.
Cherie Curry was the lead singer at this point.
Lita Ford was their lead guitarist. She has a song with Ozzie Osborn
from Black Sabbath, Close My Eyes Forever.
Saw the Runaways twice, got backstage at one show.
Still have the playbill with all their autographs.
RIP Sandi ❤️
ENVY ENVY ENVY!!!
They hit when I was 13. They were 15. I thought that was f-ing awesome. Still love 'em.
Don't forget Jackie Fox on bass.
"Kiss Me Deadly" is likely the most known song by Lita Ford outside that duet.
@@MrDportjoe it was quite a night! Unfortunately, Cherie was no longer with the band by then.
Almost everybody was really nice.
One of my best memories!
The Runaways came out when I was 16. The two guitar players Joan Jett and Lita Ford were 17, but the rest of the band was my age 16. As a kid I thought it was awesome that a bunch of cute girls my age was in a rock band. When Cherie Currie left the band, Joan Jett took up the lead vocals, you should check out them singing "School Days", Jett is singing lead.
I've said it a dozen times. YOU CANNOT REACT TO THESE WOMEN WITHOUT REACTING TO SUZI QUATRO!!
Joan Jett idolized Quatro. The Runaways are directly influenced by Suzi Quatro! Joan Jett styled her look after Suzi Quatro!
Quatro was a trailblazer for these women and she's still.putting out new music at the age of 70!
Love Suzi!
Suzi Q was my crush when I was 7 and still love it - Down in Devil Gate Drive :) Definitely Suzi is worth a reaction
unfortunately Suzi was more popular in Europe
I discovered Suzi Q because of Leather Tuscadero. She shaped a lot of my taste in music.
"48 Crash"--THE song to play.
You guys know the other guitarist too. Her name is Lita Ford and you reacted to her song Kiss Me Deadly. Once again I must request the duet that she did with Ozzy Osbourne, "Close My Eyes Forever." It is quite possibly the greatest hard rock ballad of all time.
Totally agree....but with total respect to the original I personally think David Draimen and Lzzy Hales version is better.
Yes her and ozzy
I don't think they read their comments.
Lita Ford was awesome as well as Joan Jett!
Joan Jett and Lita Ford are part of this band. This was an original. They were an all female rock band, which was not the norm back then. They paved the way for so many woman rock bands. These were teen girls in a time when girl groups in rock were unheard of.
Almost unheard of.
Look up The Pleasure Seekers,
The Shaggs & Fanny.
Joan Jett get more credit than she earned being that virtually every song of her's is a cover.
Steve - Also Michael Steele, who went onto being in The Bangles, was in it
@@chestrockwell8328 Thank you! I've always said Joan was way too reliant on cover songs. Not just recording so many but releasing so many of them as singles. I never understood how she always seemed to get the cred over Lita. I bought _Bad Reputation_ on vinyl in the late 1990s and was shocked that 7 of the 12 songs were covers. Even worse, half of them were just throwaways. "Shout"? "Wooly Bully"? wtf Joan?
@@zmbdog Thanks, Joan Jett is horribly over rated.
Cherie Curry is a badass..highly recommend her book. The shit she went through and the fact that’s she’s still here is inspiring.
Read her book too. Wild is an understatement. Love Cherie
You guys...I saw The Runaways on March 3, 1977 at The Royal Oak Music Theater in Michigan. They had two new, almost unknown bands play before them; Cheap Trick and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. Wow, I was 17 years old, and so were most of the women in this band. Peace.
This is a great story
Thank you.
you ever check out Band Maid?
John Mellencamp also has a song called Cherry Bomb that's totally worth reacting to. It's not a cover. It's a completely different song.
Much safer.
Love, love, love that song!
Any song by Mellencamp is the shiiiii....
this was their first band, and all of them were still under age when they hit it big. and back then, guys didn't think girls could rock and they were badly exploited by their management. you can hear how they have matured through the years in their solo careers.
You have to remember the era this came out. They were the LITERAL BAD GIRLS!!! Many also see this as an FU to society and family! It is a fun catchy tune!
Definitely hit some Suzi Quatro for more female Classic Rock...songs like The Wild One, Can the Can, Devil Gate Drive, or She's in Love with You. Suzi was famous for not only being a lead singer but also a great bassist.
Definitely Can the Can!
Joan Jett also does a version of CHERRY BOMB , that I like much better. LITA FORD, that you loved, is alway in the runaways! Awesomeness blasted out from that band! ‼️
That is joan jett and lita ford
And the bassist Michael Steele from the Bangles
That’s Jackie Fox on bass
Seconded that Joan Jett’s version of Cherry Bomb is superior.
That is Jackie Fox on bass. Runaways had 4 bassists over the years. Joan is playing rhythm guitar and back up vocals, which was her primary role until Currie left the band. I did want to make sure they knew that Lita Ford was their lead guitarist, since I knew they liked her too and is possibly the best female hard rock guitarist to ever live. Cherie Currie is the lead and the drummer is the late Sandy West. While a formative band in female driven rock, they were super exploited and abused by their manager while most of the band was underage. It’s important to make sure these incredible musicians get their due here and recognize that they went onto the things they did despite what they had to deal with starting out.
Lita Ford was also in this legendary band.
With the long blonde hair
You should check out Lita as well. Kiss me Deadly. And her duet with Ozzy. Close My Eyes Forever
The talent in this band was very high. Jett and Lita Ford being the easiest to point at. They were ground breakers. They deserve the credit.
Cherrie Currie on vocals with Joan Jett and Lita Ford also in the band.
Try Lita's duet with Ozzy, Close My Eyes Forever.
They reacted to Kiss me Deadly. They loved Lita. They need to do Close my eyes forever tho
They did Kiss Me Deadly.
@@ms.dirtybird7779 Crap, getting old sucks, I already forgot about that.
They reacted to "Kiss Me Deadly" like 2 weeks ago. They definitely need to hear "Close My Eyes Forever" next. Best hard rock ballad of all time in my opinion.
@@chriso6719 I completely understand that. I don't remember what happened this morning.
“The Runaways” staring Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherrie Curry is really good! Watch AFTER the kids have gone to sleep!
Makes me kind of sick to think that Cherie Currie was like 14 and Dakota Fanning was only 14 or 15 in that movie 😣
@@andie361 - Dakota Fanning was well into her 20s when she played the part of 15yo Cherie Currie.
@@consciousbeing1188 Unfortunately, she wasn’t. She was 15. She’s 27 now, the movies 12 yrs old. You can look it up .
🤔... Didn’t realize she was so young. Well, such is the life of a child actor. What they are exposed to off camera is what we should be concerned with.
Lita Ford is also in this band with Joan Jett. Lita does that first little solo where you said you liked her guitar.
Fun note - Bangles bassist Michael Steele was the Runaways' original lead singer. She left before they got a record deal.
Love this song, you should listen to “Schools Days” (Cherie Currie had left the band by then and Joan had taken over lead vocals), or “Queens Of Noise”
Joan Jett bare cords, Lita Actual talent
All I can think of is “School days, school days, Dear old golden rules days. W/ reading and writing and arithmetic…” 😂
The other guitarist was Lita Ford. You did her song Kiss Me Deadly.
CHCK Out Aldious Die For You live, you'll really like this song
Some suggestions for female Friday:
Quarterflash - "Find Another Fool" and "Harden My Heart" ( she plays the Sax )
The Motels - "Only the Lonely" and "Shame"
Yvonne Elliman - If I Cant Have You (great disco song)
Katrina and the Waves - "Walking on Sunshine" and "Going Down to Liverpool" ( which the Bangles later did a cover of )
Great suggestions! Quarterflash was a great band. I was lucky to see them in concert once.
They aren't ladies at this point they're all teenage girls.
The Runaways were a band formed in the mid 70s, a group of teenage girls, bye Joan and the drummer Sandy West. Cherie Currie is the lead vocalist, Lita Ford whom you covered before (Kiss me Deadly) is the lead guitar, she played the guitar solo, Joan is the backup guitarist and minor backup vocals, Jackie Fox as bassist, Joan only sung a few songs, Wasted is one of them.
Now you gotta do Suzie Quatro - Wild One!
Yes! She was Joan's inspiration
Please check out the following for female Fridays:
Celine Dion - It's all Coming Back to me know - I Drove all Night
Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen - Talk to me - Rooms on Fire - Seven Wonders

And more Karen Carpenter please "(kickas drummers" it's a video of Karen Carpenter doing her drum solo it'd be kind of different for the female Fridays. Much love and appreciation, Eric
The record company wanted the Runaways portrayed this way, but the girls hated it. All these girls had crazy talent, and some of them like Joan and Lita went on to have great musical careers. Too bad the record company couldn't let the Runaways be themselves who knows what great music got buried because of it. On the other hand, Close My Eyes Forever may have never been recorded. Ozzie and Lita. It's a must listen.
I don't know about "crazy talent" But it is true that they resented the sort of sex bomb portrayal and just wanted to rock. It really did get them billed tho at first. As far as talent, they were young and just starting out. Some had great aptitude and others not so much. But as a commercial creation they did have all the ingredients to sell tickets, and whether they resented it or not, their sexploitation was a big part of getting the ball rolling for them. The lead singer could barely sing at first but they all got pretty good and were fun to watch. The energy was good. . The others were not great, just adequate. Like most rock bands starting out, they got better with work and practice, and a few with real talent had the capacity to go further. Databyter
@@Databyter I won't speak to Jackie Fox's musical talent, but she'd done well enough for herself what with her law career and Jeopardy! victories...
Lita Ford duet with Ozzy Osborne
"Close my eyes forever" ❤️❤️❤️
Mike Steele, bassist from the Bangles was originally a Runaway before their debut but was dismissed before their debut. She didn't want to be mentioned on their biopic.
A banger for girls! This was a girl power song. So rebellious for out day!
Also, bear in mind, they are 15-17 yrs old doing this… Joan was devastated when they broke up, this band was her baby… but as we all know, she made her mark, as did Lita Ford (lead guitarist..) … they were my favourite at single digit age in the late 70’s..
Oh heck yeah! There's a movie about The Runaways on Netflix. I think Kristen Stewart plays Joan Jett.
I've heard of it but haven't seen it. Is it any good?
@@skinnybuddha74 It's great. It's a biopic, like the one about Motley Crue. We get to see em thinking about starting a band, starting the band, and then having issues. The blonde chick wasn't a dedicated musician, she was just a singer, so she just hung it up.
Fun fact: the Bangles bass player Micki Steele was also a founding member of the Runaways (though she didn;t stick around for long).
I recently watched a Joan Jett documentary. She wrote Cherry Bomb but was too shy to sing it and just really wanted to play guitar. When Cherie left the band, Joan became lead singer. She has her own version of the song it’s way better
I note Kim Fowley gets a writing credit (as well as being producer ) I suspect this might be the often used promoter taking a fee cut with a writing royalty, but probably did craft the arrangement for commercial release
@@highpath4776 actually they go wrote it.
@@highpath4776. On the commentary track to The Runaways movie, Joan says, of the scene where she and Fowley walk into a room together and just start bouncing lyrics off each other, and write "Cherry Bomb" in a few minutes, "That's exactly the way it happened."
Next Stops:
Joan Jett, "I Hate Myself for Loving You"
Concrete Blonde, "Bloodletting"
L7, "Pretend We're Dead"
L7 - Shit List!
The Runaways could never have existed without rock pioneers Fanny blazing the trail. The first all female rock band to cut albums for a major label gets NOWHERE NEAR the credit and love that they deserve. Check out 'Blind Alley', 'Ain't That Peculiar' or their killer covers of The Beatles 'Hey Bulldog' and Cream's 'Badge'. A badass band of ladies, formed by the Filipina sisters June and Jean Millington, that could really rock. It's absolutely criminal that these ladies are being forgotten!!!! You might as well check them out because I will be posting for them every Female Friday until you do.✌😎
Your advocacy got me to look them up online, and now I second your recommendation. They really do seem like the most important female rock band that nobody's ever heard of.
For another LA-based all-female seventies rock band, but one that relied more on musicianship and less on in-your-face image, try Fanny, a critical favorite in the early seventies who regularly toured with major rock groups of the time and became very popular in the UK but had only a few minor hits in the US with songs like a 1970 cover of Cream's "Badge," "Charity Ball" (1971), and a 1972 cover of Marvin Gaye's "Ain't That Peculiar." You'll be impressed by their musicianship.
Fanny is still making music with their grandchildren
Fanny was the first all female rock band signed to a major record label. They are finally starting to get some recognition. Check June Millington's slide on "Ain't That Peculiar"
Very talented band. Under rated and oft overlooked.
There were a lot of great girl groups in the 60s and most of those were just vocal and didn't play instruments. One of the best of those (my personal favorite) is the Ronettes featuring Ronnie Spector on lead vocal. Their song 'Be My Baby' was a huge hit and inspired Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys to write some of his songs.
I also am surprised that they are ignoring one of the biggest trends in popular music: the girl groups of the early 1960s. Not only the Ronettes, but also the Crystals, the Shirelles, the Chiffons, Chantelles, Marvelettes, and many more made great songs.
Spencer, you are SO right. Even the Supremes with Diana are more than worthy of a look. The Shangri-las- leader of the pack. Martha and the Vandellas- dancing in the street. Just to start.
Love you guys! Female Friday Rocks! or country's or whatever genre... LOL
Really, listen to Veruca Salt!!!!!!!! Volcano Girls or Seether! They were my favorite 90s all girls band!
I've been a Runaways fAn since 1976. Met them all in Dallas at a record called Peaches for a record signing. Met Joan MANY years later in Tyler Texas. For some reason she remembered meeting my friends and I. She called off the security guards to take the time to thank me for the suppe and said she remembered me.and my friends from back then. Maybe she remembered, maybe she didn't but she took the time to thank me for supporting her.. What a wonderful LADY
It's not just Joan, Lita is also on guitar just FYI
Cherie Curry on vocals Lita is also on guitar.
Also they were young teenagers
Hey Jordan its said that The Runaways sometimes sidined or opened up for AC/DC in the 70's as well when Bon Scott sung for AC/DC
Yes!!! Great song 🎵
Original singer was Cherie Currie . After departing the band Joan became singer for this band. Not only is Joan Jett in this band so is Lita Ford
These girls were all really young at the time around 15, 16 years old...(Runaways!)
Queens of Noise has Joan singing.
Dead End Kids in a Danger Zone are also great songs by the Runaways
Lita Ford was in this band too, her and Joan Jett played together…also Michael Steel, the bassist for The Bangles played in the Runnaways before they got famous, she left.
Check out the band Fanny. They are the first all female rock band to get sign to a major lable. They are still going strong in their 70’s. Should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I too made the same suggestion. Fanny were the Real Deal.
I listed their version of "Hey Bulldog". Another great song by them is Stephen Stills S"pecial Care". And they definitely were not just a cover band. Their original compositions where great. Each member of the band were world class musicians IMHO.
Bout time. I've been pushing this band for Friday for months now.
Finally, I've been waiting for this!!!!! The Runaways is my absolute fav band, I'm so jealous of all the people in the comments that saw them back in the 70s haha. I would also recommend "California Paradise, "You drive me wild" and "I love playin with fire", which the last one has Joan Jett on the lead vocals.
Ha! One of the old timers here you’re talking about. Just wanna say Lita shreds on that live California Paradise video and plays a great solo on the studio version of I love playin with fire. Lita and Sandy were excellent musicians
FINALLY YAAAS!!!!!!! Been dying for you to react to this one #JoanJett and #LitaFord
Love it .... Classic .... Joan and Lita ford..... "Dead end justice" was a topper live !!!!!
Definitely need to react to "Dead end Justice"
Cherrie Curry also sang this as a duet with Allison Scagliotti on Warehouse13 to celebrate the 21st birthday of Allison's character, Claudia Donovan.
Fun song!!🤘🔥
Hey, Jordan and Amber
Something that you might not be aware of, Lita Ford was also a member of this band too
As well as Micheal Steele, the bassist of "The Bangles", during her tenure as the bassist of The Runaways, Michael Steele was credited professionally as Micky Steele
When the band started they were as young as 15. There are some very disturbing stories about how those girls were used and abused.
Lita Ford on lead guitar. Joan Jett on Guitar Cherie Currie on Vocals Sandy West Drums. Jackie Fox on Bass. *** Also Michael Steele from the Bangles played Bass for awhile ***
Lita Ford was in the band as well. This song was # 52 on the VH1 top 100 and Lita was #76 with Kiss me deadly. Lita was the only female to be in there 2x. Also the runaways were as popular in Japan as the Beatles were in the USA.
The "lady" singing in this video is 16 years old, crazy stuff.
Lira Ford was the lead guitarist in the Runaways as well. They were all quite young while they were the Runaways
Cheri Curri is the lead singer. I believe their manager wrote or co-wrote this song to give them a signature catchy hit, while playing off the all girl line-up.
Most of the videos you get from that time period before MTV were actually just promo videos made just for radio producers. They would send out a video of the group performing the song to get the radio station's producer and DJs to see who they were and their style in an effort to get them to play the song. These would be performances with the produced radio version of the song on the tape because they wanted the producers to hear the actual song as they would play on the radio and not a "live" version. Often budgets for these videos were small and not a lot of effort put into them.
For reference Queen's video for Bohemian Rhapsody is an example of this. It isn't a live performance either. It was made on a short budget just for radio producers and sent out with the tapes of the song to stations and not intended for public consumption. The idea that music videos were ever going to be a thing was unheard of at the time so it is amazing that so many of these tapes even survived.
Of course another source for these old music videos we get to enjoy is variety TV shows that were hugely popular in the 60s, 70s, and early 80s. Occasionally these were true live performances but a lot of the time they were canned music or lip-synced to make sure the music was good quality for the TV audience. This was most often the case for live TV shows that didn't want audio problems to cause issues for the broadcast. You can often spot these by looking for guitars not plugged into amps in the days before wireless, as well as singers without mics. They were often trying to get a scene set rather than worrying about making sure it looked like the band was actually playing the song.
I was screaming Lita Ford too! Lol. Like you could hear me. You all should do some reactions live sometime. Maybe with requests.
Hey Jay and AMber! FEMALE FRIDAY OR ANY DAY IS A GREAT DAY FOR NIGHTWISH! Y'all remember Floor Jansen don't you? when you did "Ghost Love Score" it blew you both away! well they got a HUGE number of hits. a few great ones to start with "Romanticide", "Storytime", "I Wish I Had An Angel", "Last Ride Of The Day" are some of their "Greatist hits" another song that highlights the Male singer (Marco) you should really hit sometime is "The Islander" SOOOOOOO Good!
"Oh her guitar is cool"... I guess Lita Ford is two for two in RSR reaction videos for guitar approval. LOl.
Hear more joan and some go-gos. Listen to their song...our lips are sealed...solo on the middle that will hook you. Their lead singer went on to a big career as solo...
Chrissy Amphlett with The Divinyls, singing All The Boys In Town, knocks these girls out of the park.
The Runaways were roughly 16 when they made this album. They were most definitely out of control wild, there were reports of drug use, tons of sex (with men, with women, with each other), and lots of alcohol. This lead singer was recruited by Joan Jett and record producer/manager Kim Fowley (a man) because she had "the look". Cherie was with the Runaways for two albums before leaving because she was burning herself out with all of the drugs and drinking. On their third and final album Joan Jett and Lita Ford split vocals. If you're interested in a good Joan Jett vocals song i would recommend I Love Playing with Fire from their second album.
OMG the lead singers face has been stuck in my mind for decades.. I just never knew who she was. I saw her in the movie Foxes with Jodie Foster. I never knew she was a rocker, thank you pulling up this video.
Queen of Noise or Hollywood would be great Runaways songs to check out.
The original Runaways bassist (already departed by the time of this song) was Micki Steele, who later resurfaced as bassist/vocalist for The Bangles.
And yes, sometime Suzi Quatro..Miss Leather Tuscadero herself should be on your list. Just NOT that fluffy duet. Has to be a rocker😎🎸
I suggest this one...48 Crash!
Suzi Quatro - 48 Crash Remastered HD Original Music Video RARE 1973
Jackie Fox, their bass player, also dated Randy Rhoads, the great guitarist from Ozzy Osbourne’s band. RIP
Watched a video that ranked the top ten Felmale guitarists. Lita Ford was number 1 and Nancy Wilson was number 2, Others on the were Bonnie Raitt, Sister Rosetta Tharp and Mother Maybell Carter.
The lady singing lead is Cherie Currie.
Joan did sing lead on a few songs for the Runaways. Joan wrote this song & later covered it in her solo career
Michael/ Mickey Steele was their bass player before they got their recording contract. She was replaced by Jackie Fox & later turned up with the Bangles as their bass player
Great genre !!!
Try out "Ballroom Blitz" by Sweet
Thank you. Thank you! For doing the Runaways. Joan started the band and the first song she ever wrote was with her manager Kim Foley Cherry Bomb as a play on their lead singers name Cherie Curry. Cherie was the lead singer for 2 albums. If you want to her Joan sing play. “Rock n Roll” with great cowbell!!
Fanny are another kickass all-woman band. Have a look at their Old Grey Whistle Test version of "You're The One" if you get the chance.
The Beatclub videos are the best place to start. Blind Alley, Place In The Country, Special Care, full version of Ain't It Peculiar.
Oh cool... you found the Runaways!!!
Female Friday: Patti Smith is one of the most important and influential artists (male or female) in the last 5 decades. Her debut album "Horses" is still recognized as one of the greater debut albums of all time. Gloria is the opening track. Her SNL performance helped introduce punk to America.
Patti Smith “Gloria”, Live on SNL April 1976:
I second this!!
@@jefffiore7869 I think Amber would like Dancing Barefoot - studio version off Wave
@@elegantirony78 Actually that is the only song I really like from that album

I feel the same as Amber. I never got into the runaways and never found their music all that special. They seemed to have made it strictly on their bad girl vibe and the uniqueness as all girls. Joan by herself wrote much better music. Just my opinion though. I know many wouldn’t agree.
They were always presented as a titillating novelty. Mediocre musically at best, though Joan and Lita both evolved into credible musicians
I totally agree. I discovered the Runaways after already being a fan of Joan Jett's solo career and... meh. While a lot of people will talk about how strong and awesome a person Cherie Currie is and how much she's been through, it doesn't change the fact that I think they would've sounded a LOT better with someone else on vocals. But, then, my understanding is that they originally approached Cherie at a nightclub because they liked her look, not because anyone had heard her sing. And, to be fair, the Runaways themselves didn't like the "sexy, bad girl" image they were saddled with. When asked why The Runaways were having a hard time being taken seriously, Joan Jett said, "It was that whole 'Cherry Bomb With The Corset' thing with Cherie."
Reading their history, you see that they were being marketed as "jailbait rock" and their manager treated them the way a pimp treats his prostitutes. He kept them drugged up, without money, and constantly abused them (insulted them, threw things at them while they rehearsed, had sex with a woman in front of them (while they were minors) so they could learn how to be "sexy" onstage, allegedly drugged and raped the drummer, etc). While a lot of people (even here in these comments) glorify the Runaways as liberated girls giving a big, strong FU to society, the truth is that they were minors who were abused by the adults around them, pushed into playing "jailbait" to titillate pervs, and pretty much abandoned by their parents.
So, yeah, their history is interesting and sad and frustrating but their music? Meh.
There is a Movie Called "the Runaways" based on the band. The movie starred Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Curry.
This was Joan Jett and Lita Ford when they were teenagers. Simple, repetitive songs.
An all female band that predates The Runaways is a completelyoverlooked band of rockers called Fanny. I would suggest the live video of their rendition of The Beatles song "Hey Bulldog" recorded live in 1971. These four women could hold their own and go toe-to-toe with any of their contemporary all-male bands.
So that's Cherie Curry singing lead. Yes, that's Joan Jett on lead guitar and Lita Ford who you reacted to with the song KISS ME DEADLY on guitar. Yes this is where Joan Jet and Lita Ford both got their start before going out on their own. Although not on this song, Micki Steele was also in this band in the beginning and she soon left the band and joined THE BANGLES. Joan Jett is definitely the best thing to come out of this band in my opinion though. I actually feel she should have sang more of the lead vocals as I much prefer her voice. This song was actually composed by Joan Jett and their manager specifically for Cherie Curry to sing for her original audition because it fit her voice better.
Almost right. It was Lita on lead and Joan playing rhythm. Otherwise spot on comment.
You guys missed the fact that Lita Ford is in this band. She's the one you reacted to when you watched her song Kiss Me Deadly. She's the guitarist on the far right. Also, Joan became the lead singer once the blonde(Cherie Currie) left the band.
They were totally directed to titillate and weren’t taken very seriously by music snobs at that time, although most members would have long and fulfilling careers, but this lineup shouldn’t be confused with a GOGO’s or BANGLES as those groups wrote music and were way better musically when they emerged. But Jett and Ford would definitely become accomplished performers later on.
Of course Micki/Mickey/Michael Steele was in the Runaways before The Bangles.
Don’t forget Micki Steele was the original bassist and lead singer before she left and became the bassist for the Bangles
Bad reputation is a another good Runaways song to check out
Thats not a runaways song thats Joan jett and the blackhearts
Cherie Curry sang lead but when she left Joan took over vocals, in her videos Joan plays bass but here she is playing rhythm guitar. They were actually a punk band but Joan and Lita both went hard rock in their solo careers.
I don't think Amber realized that the cool guitarist is Lita Ford. That's unfortunate. LITA IS AN AMAZING GUITARIST. 🙂
It seems to me that I remember when Joan Jett & the Blackhearts were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame they performed "Cherry Bomb" with Joan singing lead. I'm sure you could find a video of it somewhere.
At this point I'm starting to think there's some reason you've never done a song by the greatest all-female band of all time, The Go-Go's. =/
They did We Got the Beat.
They did. If you can't find it in their video list, it's possible it got blocked and had to be taken down. I haven't looked to see if it's still there but I know for sure that they did "We Got The Beat."
Love all American all girl bands but the hardest rocking all girl band has to be Girlschool from England
Great reaction!!!
This song was written on fly for Cherie's audition. Original bass player Jackie Fox (who you might have seen on Jeopardy under her real name of Fuchs), left the band after the band's massive tour of Japan. She claims the band manager raped her at a drug fueled party and everyone (including her band mates watched and did no react. Jackie went to get a law degree from Harvard and worked as a "production attorney" in Hollywood. In fact she missed a question about the movie Hunt for Red October.which she worked on. Oh you might want to check out Cherie and Marie Currie.
Actually, I worked on K-19: The Widowmaker, not Hunt for Red October
@@JackieFox1976 Oh well I haven't been a navy geek for a while. Also in many way K-19 was bit better film.
@@JackieFox1976 Ony semi related have you hear Rolling Quartz? Female K rock band. My two fave things form them are Azalea (take a 100 year old love poem that doubled as a rallying cry to the Japanese occupation and toss in a drummer who is a QUEEN at camera flirt. You'll like the bass tone from the live self bootleg but the drummer flirt is in the official M/v
@@MrDportjoe I haven't but I will check them out! Thanks for the recommendation.
