  • they had the image, too bad someone didn't step in & write some solid material to assure chart status. The band would've likely exploded onto the charts as joan later did with I love R. & roll etc.

  • 16 people are queens of dumbshit

  • The Runaways is the Best band ever! they are so under rated it makes me want to cry :p people talk about how the GoGo's are the best girl rock band ever, ugh bugs me cause their not even rock! hello they need to check out the badass queens of noise! <3

  • Check my cover of this version on my channel! I love them!!

  • the vocalist seems like roger taylor from queen

  • Even though I do think that Cherie's a good singer, I really think that this song is more for Joan's voice, not hers. The only reason why Cherie and Joan would share this song when playing it live was because Cherie was in the hospital recovering from an abortion (Read Cherie's book for more details) and Joan went behind Cherie's back and recorded the vocals for this song. This song was specifically written for Cherie to sing, but Joan went ahead and recorded the vocals on it, anyway.

  • shit man

    when I look at Lita Ford

    I have the weirdest boner I ever had

    this makes me goddamn crazy

  • Sandy West has got to be the best drummer that has ever lived!!!

  • I fucking love these ladies.

  • Joan fucking jett... Just my idol... Wat more can I say apsrt from I wish that hair wud suit me lol

  • JOAN PLAYED WITH ONE HAND!!! WHAT A ROCK N ROLL QUEEN!?!

  • Lita is one of those girls who likes to be fucked face down ass up screaming harder harder. id fuck the breath out of her lungs

  • Best song they ever did, Sandy and Joan kicked a ton of ass

  • HELL YEAH

  • As a child of the 60's and 70's I don't get why this band was somewhat obscure and those "Kings of Schlock" Kiss were so damn popular. I wouldn't go to a Kiss concert for free, but I would have paid to see The Runaways. Maybe because they were chicks, I don't know. I always dug bands for the music, not the bullshit. These girls were some bullshit, but mostly the music. They were better than Kiss anyway.

  • Not your average spice girls, eh?

  • im a lucky bastard. i was born in 1967. i've grown up with all these bands....runaways, suzi quattro, sweet, smokie, deep purple, uriah heep, status quo, bay city rollers etc.... i miss that time. the world nowadays suck badass...saddam, osama, ghadaffi....economy crisis. where is the peace? where is freedom?

  • @rockangel1967The Runaways nearly had something, but it was 2 bland & repetitive 2 catch on. That's Jett's problem -- she almost made it big with "I Love Rock 'N Roll," but even that didn't stand out 'nuff. Some years ago, I discovered Suzi Quatro's "You're Mama Won't Like Me" in a dusty old record bin & found it 2 B among the best hard-hitting rock 'n roll albums I ever spun. It's better both musically & engineering-wise than almost any Zeppelin or Stones album. Shame it didn't hit the states.

  • @alphakid42 i disagree. the runaways almost did have something. but it crashed and burned, there relationship with each other, not the band. the 4 years they when around for, was enough to open up any opportunity for female musicans around the glob, they were short and sweet.

  • @alphakid42 you r crazy!! this is some of the best music out,even today!! the real problem was the male dominated music industry,that is a fact.almost every song this band has ever done,blows away most bands! period.

  • '@desamator11 yea right thats why they "wanna be where the boys are" they wanna play like the boys play

  • It' always refreshing how 'lost' songs like that can sound brightest and funniest than today's 'work songs' or 'big hits'.

    That's one more proof about how 70's RAW rock is SUPERIOR.

    And yeah, you get it: that's why I DON'T HEAR ANY NEW MUSIC since 1994.

    Fuck off all the new rock.

    I had enough. I have the best: I have The Runaways.

  • Great Video!! I just saw a live in japan t shirt on ebay, now i must get it!!

  • niice! these girls are talented AND hot. what more could you ask for?! I <3 THE RUNAWAYS.

  • @thegreathannahl ARE talented? u mean were....the runaways were probably THE HOTTEST girlband ever.

  • • Lita Ford is... An exceptional rock musician that has a temper!

    Jackie Fox is a "know it all"

    Joan Jett focuses on the band

    Sandy West is awesome

    Cherie Currie... Hmmm I LOVE HER!!!!!!

  • they were the original heavy metal all girl band and to think they wrote most of all their own music very clever and very amusing,way to go but I think they wrote there own songs ,well i beleive they were a lot more to come for them.

  • @steeplepossum39 they did write there own songs joan and their manager kim wrote most there songs

  • @zzzzzzoem yeah I'm borned in 1996 too and I'm sick of the shit music nowadays too

  • My favorite band growing up!!

  • i wish i was bornd then but noooo, i'm bornd in 1996! like, how stupid is that! i so wish i was there!!!! the runaways are the best!

  • @zzzzzzoem i know WHY CAN"T THIS BE MODERN MUSIC?!?!?!?!

  • @zzzzzzoem No you don't. You would be in your fifties now. Enjoy your young years.

  • @trestreschich To be honest she probably was high lol

  • @Lauriejanee095 lol yea thats true...but u still have to love her! :P

  • @AngelaHawkins1993 Oh yeah of course.

  • I love the runaways!!!

  • look at eyes of joan jett at 1.28 i think she was high on drugs!!!

  • @trestreschich oh i bet you she was... XD

  • @trestreschich so what? Practically 90% of singers in that time were high on stage.

  • @toytolosk so wath?that is true.....im just pointing not judging!!!

  • @trestreschich I didn't say you were judging... just pointing out too...

  • Gotta say, I like this better than the album version. Joan Jett did lead vocals on the album. I love her but it just seems right that Cherie does them.

  • Aww Joan was so cute here. Then she became hot. Now she's beautiful :).

  • WHY THE FUCK ARE THE AUDIENCE SITTING DOWN?

  • The Runaways were the queens of noise. Joan Jett is the goddess of noise.

  • BEST BAND EVER!!!!! THEY ARE THE QUEENS OF ROCK!

  • Lita è sicuramente il pezzo meglio

  • I love Lita in her short shorts and shiny boots. She just kicks ASS!

  • @dmnddog74 No, Lita's a fucking BITCH

  • haha 0:59  joan looks like a little baby :), this band looked so cool man i wish i was born in the 60's or something lol

  • @NunuInvincible829 lmao it was the 70s and a little bit of the 80s but goo guess lol :)

  • @msdyrdek7 oh lol i said the 60's cause like i wanted to also be there to witness the gorgeous women like audrey hepburn , marilyn monroe , sophia , vivian , greta garbo , ginger rogers all of them cyd charisse!

  • @TheElectricMyhem You were there??? God, you're soo lucky! D:

  • my idols, simple as that!

  • @apocalyptik4ever Mine too! (Sorry! I didn't mean to vote your comment down D: I'm on my phone, so it's a little tricky. I don't know how to change it either :/ )

  • @apocalyptik4ever yes i agree

  • Lida and Cherrie seem to be getting along, and having fun with each other on stage. But when they're not on stage they seem to hate each other. I dont get it.

  • @MyLuckyNumber100 Cherie thinks that Lita was jealous of her.

  • @1XWildRebelQueenX1 i would of thought lol but who knows right

  • joan jet; rock and roll heart, streat tough burnette

  • I<3the runaways

    

  • check out her shorts from 1:20-1:27 lol i want a pair id rock em like a true runaway!

  • I love Cherie's outfit

  • @1XWildRebelQueenX1 Back then teen idols designed their own costumes!

  • @Omniculler Oh yes! I know :P I've read Cherie's book. It's truly amazing. I highly recommend It to.anyone that hasn't read it yet. :)

  • @1XWildRebelQueenX1 Thx for the reminder--I still have to read it. Cherie is truly an exceptional person. Tough and brilliant.

  • @Omniculler Oh yes! She is! :D I've read the book around four times :) Make sure to get the revised edition- it has added stuff.

  • @1XWildRebelQueenX1 Ok, I'll do just that. :]

  • I'd love to see them LIVE!

  • I fucking love Joan Jett \o

  • @paulinhapsn me too!

  • Litta is just so "hard", the way that she plays guitar is so fucking perfect hehehehe ^^

  • joan, we love you come visit us, please

  • Cherie was on That Metal Show about 2 weeks ago. She still looks good. Great band The Runaways. There music is tight. They play great Hard Rock in Roll.

  • Ah I love Joan Jett and The Runaways! They changed music forever! People always say I look like Cherie and sometimes my brother even calls me Cherie but I know I will never look as great as her.

  • how can anyone dislike this?

    its a great video, joan looks amazing to say the least. i absolutely love her shes the greatest<3

  • Thank god they happened.... :-)

  • q wapada d grupo...deberian cantar aun juntas:(, Joan Jett la mejor!

  • Great to see The Runaways again. Loved seeing them at Hammersmith Odeon 1978. Probably one of the first rock concerts I ever went to.

  • my god! my dad go to this show!

  • WTF?! Their vocals are TIGHT they're singing a perfect third harmony at the chorus

  • @Pazz3r3lla Not sure what you are inferring about the tone deaf thing. But if you are inferring that these women were not singing in tune, I would guess that you have never sang live in a rock band, otherwise you would know that you need PERFECT sound from your monitors when singing live to be in tune. Otherwise, you can't hear yourself and will surely miss a note here and there.

  • i think this is one of the only videos ive seen of Cherie and Lita actully doing something on stage together.. there dancing :L oh wait no, there is one more check out 'wild thing japan tour' they dance again too :L

  • This is the first place I'm going when time travel is perfected :D

  • I think Lita had some cool rock-star moves back then!

  • Why the FUCK was I born in the 90's???? ok i know I would probably face a whole bunch of shit in the 70's for being black and stuff, but I would LOVE to have been here <3

  • I WAS BORN IN THE 90'S AND IM PROUD

  • @SwtTeri93 yeh i would of been beaten up for being gay but shit.... look at joan! wish i had her to look up to growing up, but guess i have her now...

  • Comment removed

  • @SwtTeri93 Lol I so agree! If I was born in that era I would probably be like the only black person in the crowd! LMFAO!

  • Hello,can anyone help me?i deleted this song by mistake and i don't know how to download it with the guitar solo...help me please :(

  • 11 people are the queens of idiots

  • @Pazz3r3lla ur so right those ppl are tone death or somethin

  • @babykittyskitts

    it's not tone death, it's tone deaf. I'm tone deaf and it has nothing to do with liking music or not. it's just that you can't hear when a tone changes it's frequency... just so you know ;)

  • @Pazz3r3lla 12 IDIOTS

  • @Pazz3r3lla 13 *

  • @Pazz3r3lla make that 14 MAJOR QUEENS OF IDIOTS

  • go cherieee and joann! <3

  • I was just going off the facts that I learned from the film. Joan Jett was on set a lot to help K.S. out. It was based more on Cherie Curries side right? I checked out Cherie and her sisters solo record "messin with the boys" I loved it. I just thought they had such great stage presence and they could play like hell! Love the Runaways!

  • amazing....wonder what could have happened if cherie didn't walk out. thats crazy to walk out in the middle of making a record. finish it get some fundage then say bye.

  • @rimbaudboy thats only what happened in the movie, I've read her book and she stayed for a lot longer than the movie portrays... they made "the runaways", "queens of noise", and "live in japan" before she left.

  • @HyperactiveIdiot84 it was actually jackie fox who left first, followed by cherie a year or so later. vickie blue was kackie's replacement but she left a few months after cherie did 'cause she had this brain tumer sycho thing or something. joan was the replacement for cherie

  • @rimbaudboy They barely got paid anything. And when things get to rough, sometimes you have to quit.

  • @rimbaudboy According to Lita they would still be together if Cherri hadn't left...

  • i love cherie and lita's high kick :D

  • ...@ritter89/1 month ago

    ...These vids were ignored 2 yrs ago" -

    Nnnnope! Yer sooo damn Out of the game rules and gifts bubba! :)) This vids were ignored 40 years ago or 2 years ago 'bout "Teoria sine Praxis" so called [old] ones like U :)))) keep ffolin' those kids bubba :D Yet...yer sooo fuckin'out of the era and the so called "values" back then :P

    Nice Try anyway :))))))))

  • @ritter89/1 month ago

    "The Runaways were mainly a success overseas in Japan b/c American critics and audiences saw them as a novelty act much like The Monkees. The music is simple and shallow and their main appeal was that they were underage girls who dressed proactively (Kim Fowley's idea, not theirs). 90% of the trend chasers who claim to "love" The Runaways are only interested in them because they saw a big budget Hollywood production featuring popular actresses...

  • How the hell does Sandy's hair stay so perfect all the time..?

  • You can't really compare The Runaways to The Beatles.

    They're completely different, yet talented in their own separate ways.

  • How can people like the beatles better then the runaways???

  • pure talent ! end off

  • @RobstenPattintwart ten u suck and dnt no a good voice wen u hear it

  • @maryheiress56 i meant where they got the videos from not tat they dnt have a good voice cuz they do have and amazing one duh!!!

  • I don't really think it matters if you knew them before or after the movie. Like I don't see why it would matter. It's not like the movie made them mainstream? If you love the runaways whether you knew them before or after, you still share a common love for their music, so you're still in the same boat. Oh, and I don't think anyone really cares if you knew them or not; unless you're one of those people that has no life and enjoys getting in other peoples business and harassing them aha.

  • @parisscissorhands In spite of the picture's insurmountable flaws and inaccuracies, that it's revived interest in and introduced younger listeners to a very unique phenomenon is fortunate. For years, not a minute of my attention was afforded to The Runaways until the film reminded me that they were such an exceptional band. We can all agree on that much, I think.

  • where did you get these videos from???

  • im a 14 year old Girl and i LOVE the Runaways . not cause of the movie , i knew of the Runaways since i was 10 ahaa .

    BUT THEYRE FUCKING AMAZING ahaa

  • @MiZzH0tTiE12 Look, calm down. It is stupid to be so needy you crave credit by bragging you don't know about them from a movie with a twilight actress. I'm not the one who's getting worked up. Don't make such a big deal of things. I'm done.

  • they were smoking pot everynight loll , weel they must have been high , in this show mennn amazing !!!!

  • Cherie's got the moves!

  • fuckin' cool I love

  • where do you get these videos??????

  • Awesome head bang at @2:42 !

  • God. Look at Joan. She's fuckin' amazing. I love her

  • who can tell me where to download the ebook of the great Cheri Currie...??

    god just by saying their names i get goosebumps..

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

    I worship the runaways..!!!

    I wish the runaways band would return and suck the suckiness off the bands today!!!

  • @NeonAngel0714 The Runaways were mainly a success overseas in Japan b/c American critics and audiences saw them as a novelty act much like The Monkees. The music is simple and shallow and their main appeal was that they were underage girls who dressed proactively (Kim Fowley's idea, not theirs). 90% of the trend chasers who claim to "love" The Runaways are only interested in them because they saw a big budget Hollywood production featuring popular actresses. These vids were ignored 2 yrs ago

  • @ritter89 and this is not a bad thing , I mean how could I know about a band from the 70s if its music is not on radio or TV or not one of my parents favorite bands ?!! the movie sucks I have to admit but it introduced me to one of the best bands , I am a 90s kid and I always knew about joan jett because how doesn't know about I love rock n roll and I hate myself for loving you ..... but I never knew about the runaways though it was the first girls rock band

  • Not bad for a young bunch of teenagers!!

  • lita ford, man... so awesome (and weird) how such a cutie is such a badass rocker.

  • the best band ever!!! this is one of my favorites songs

  • you see this &you think "wow, they all look like bff's" wel, if you read Neon Angel, Cherie Currie's memoir, the TRUTH will disturb you about what happens off stage.

  • @KandJloveTOKIOHOTEL What?! What happened off stage? :o

  • @SniffySniffles alot alot ALOT of stuff. to name a few; Lita contantly threatened Cherie, screamed and swung at her whenever she did sumthing wrong. Jackie tried to commit suicide after sumone knocked over her prized bass. Cherie got kidnapped, raped, beat for 6 hours then she finally escaped. None of them were close anymore.

    and thats just a few.

  • @KandJloveTOKIOHOTEL What?! REALLY?! Cherie and Lita look like BEST friends, though! Who kidnapped, beat, and raped Cherie? Has Lita and Cherie ever got into a fistfight? What kind of stuff would Cherie do wrong? I thought Cherie and Lita were friends in the beginning, though, right? Please explain the details!

  • Comment removed

  • @KandJloveTOKIOHOTEL Are you sure thats true?

  • @Confusingish am I sure what's true?

  • @KandJloveTOKIOHOTEL Lita's tantrums, Jackie's suicide attempt over a base and Cherrie being kidnapped and raped... Are they true? I hope not. O_o

  • @Confusingish Lita's threats, Jackie's suicide attempt over a base, Cherrie being kidnapped and raped and all that. Is that really true? I hope not. O_o

  • @Confusingish to find out the truth...read Cherie's book..

  • @Confusingish If it wasnt then Cherie wudnt write a book about it, right? it was her memoir, so basically an autobiography. i dnt think she'd lie.

  • AMAZING!!!! wish I could travel back in time to see them live ...

    it's so weird though that all those fans were just sitting in their places through the entire concert :O I'd be rocking my ass off in the front rows if I were there xD even if there weren't standing places... would be jumping on my chair or somethin XD

  • @WoodenSteelPuppet21

    id probs be doing the same thing too XD

  • @WoodenSteelPuppet21 Me Too!! Oh I Love Them!!!

  • @WoodenSteelPuppet21 Apparently in Japan, it's disrespectful to be all super rowdy at concerts. Even between songs, they're silent, waiting for the band to finish up and hurry to the next song.

  • @AFIGirlPanicFan funny how they didnt follow those rules with the Beatles..!:)

  • @WoodenSteelPuppet21 It's their culture.

  • @amberfwn I know... but still... :)
