The Runaways - All Right You Guys

[xTheQueensOfNoise]

I love how Jackie goes down while playing at 1:46 :) And how Lita shows off during the entire preformance :) ...And am I the only one who thinks that the stage is pretty small and crowded?

[Rebelqueen89]

Lo que hubiese dado por vivir en los '70... Hubiese tenido la posibilidad de ver a mis bandas favoritas: The Clash y The Runaways!!

[Fancybuilder006]

0:35 yummie

[TheZeldagirl10]

There was something about the five of them, Joan, Sandy, Jackie, Cherie, and Lita. When they had the other members here and there with people leaving and joining, it was never as great as it was with the five of them. Too bad they all broke up....Maybe they wouldn't have if Kim wasn't such a sick freak. =/

[11Onlylove]

Cherie and Joan's voices compliment each other...

[jashugan007]

Damn, Lita is soooooo HOT!

[greenbayalldway]

where can I find the film edgeplay about the runaways online stream? youtube has blocked several parts,.

[gravitygurl27]

@greenbayalldway you can rent or download it from amazon.

[demigrl21]

1:45 love it :) ♥

[jammedvalve]

I just want a time machine :(

[MissImproperio]

@jammedvalve me too

[GaryG660]

This was the magic lineup!

[klkelly026]

@GaryG660 The Fabulous Five :D

[malrecuerdo]

q piernas ♥.♥

[runawaysluver70]

Jackie looks HOT

[Hacker73]

Jackie Fox is the Best Runaway --- the most human, fragile, vulnerable and lovely.

Ah, Jackie... you're sooooooooo sweet... delicious!

The prettiest. The nicest. The most talented. The most human.

I love you, Jackie.

My Goddess.

[gladyzXdaXperformer]

Aaaaallll raight...Aaaaallll raight chu guys...!!!...<3

[therunawayslover]

WOW! Look at Jackie!! and Cherie!!! WOWWWW

[Hacker73]

• Cherie Currie was and is stil so down to earth while being really sensuel and bad ass likely.. so cool combination not to forget her amazing voice!

[runaways1975]

i think robert plant told them to collect hotel keys from england :D

Joan, Sandy and Cherie did it and they endet up in jail :D

[geoffolehane]

It is interesting to me to put this in perspective after watching the "Edgeplay" documentary ands their hard memories about their Japanese tour.

[paigernom]

Hahaha Sandy Had some GUNS 

[amberfwn]

Look at Jackie's long legs!

[gypseyes]

ALL RIGHT!!

[PattonsAutopsy]

And was there any connection between Holly Divine and Kim Fowley?

[PattonsAutopsy]

okay, powergirl901, if you are even remotely attractive, I am in love.

;- )

ANYONE who drops The Tubes in a discussion of the 70s music scene is a woman I would give my right arm to meet (and, no, it's not detachable)...VERY interesting insight.

So, what got The Runaways limos? Was Lita flashing her boobs or Cherie letting quick glimpses of her snatch inflience the labels at signing? I guess that's the subtext? And the Go-Gos so close to "street" the execs didn't want ot screw em?

[PattonsAutopsy]

Oh my god.

I look at this video, and all I can think of are Cherie's sweet tight ass and Lita's stiff nipples!!! It is pretty difficult to watch Lita here and not imaginer her taking an hour on the tower of power!

All kidding aside: These Ladies KNEW HOW TO PLAY. This isn't some mall girl band slapped together without a shred of talent. These are MUSICIANS, something the current "music" industry regards as no better than well-paid backdrops to a modulated voice.

[Hacker73]

Why do the greatest bands have to be SO under-rated and so under-appreciated? Simple: the Industrial "Music" SHITSTEM is ruled by PERVERT PSICHOPATICS who only want sell ROTTEN UGLY SHIT FAKES such as Madonna and Gaga and they want made us all a bunch of billions of MOROMS with NO sense of good taste for so good things and REAL TALENTED ARTISTS such as Concrete Blonde, Runaways, Bolshoi, Alphaville, Irene Cara, Sinead O'Connor, Kim Carnes, Sandra, Laura Branigan, Randy Bush, Suzi Quatro...

[ladygagagirl123]

sandy worked out alot do u see her muscles in her arms lol their crazy R.I.P Sandy

[wisesatyr72]

we love short -shorts

[poeni7]

look at the arms of the drummer :|

[JJoanJJett]

They could kick anyone's ass any day.

[suzylux]

They all need to be in the Hall, I don't give a fuck.

[killingflea]

but bowies a man

[JJoanJJett]

Ahh!! CherieO! You have all the good and important Runaways vids! :)

[malafaze]

i'm a bit jealous..lol....they were so freakin' good

[vio2112]

Those are some nice thick legs on Lita Ford. Love it.

[BlackDiamondable]

I respect the runaways for what they did and how they dealt with it

[brainseatpeople1]

Wow. This tight and sixteen.

[misslady1908]

@brainseatpeople1

Teens before food additives, high fusctose syrup, too large portions of meat, supersized everything, and home video games..back when schools sponsored atheletics/exercise programs and kids played outside all day. lol..but true

[skipp10467]

@misslady1908 Nah. According to "Edgeplay" all they ate most of the time was Mcdonalds and pizza. Not very healthy.

[misslady1908]

@skipp10467

True, but back in the day even McDonald's was real meat and didn't contain all the shit it does now. Food is filled w/ so much crap (literally) these days. And also it was before factory farming and stuff was free range. But I'm a vegetarian now. :)

[anaisboss96]

Does Cherie ever close her legs? O.o

[demigrl21]

@anaisboss96 she used to do tht cuz thts wat david bowie does in his concert n she use 2 b obseesed wit him...thts y she cut her hair like tht,to match his

[reverseygolohcysp]

born2live- Halestorm has the sound kind of (although it's not an all girl band)

[thatgodchick]

cool :) nice to see some videos

[Jade7843498]

I love them <3

[born2live]

i don't think theres gonna be a lot of girl rock bands like the runaways because the times are different...or maybe there are some underground ones, that i obviously don't know :/

[Jessica1133123244134]

The Runaways are the best check band in the hole world.Kick ass man! Rock N' Roll Baby!!! :D

[PsychoKath293]

best band . period. not just of girls.

[onebeat80]

the best runaways line up!! perfect

[wirreanda1979]

I LOVE THE RUNAWAYS!

[LoftyArts]

@unlikeanyotherhuman No problemo. The Runaways are my all-time favourite. Enjoy! ;>D

[LoftyArts]

@unlikeanyotherhuman Actually there are, but they're not all females except Chicks on Speed {Germany}. I recommend you, The Sounds! They're from Sweden. ;>D

[powergirl901]

The Runaways were lucky. they had a nice rehersal facility at SIR in Hollywood, no expense for equipment, a number one songwriter (Kim Fowley), an advance plus instant record deal.

None of this happened to any girl group who followed. They had a much harder time.

[neonangelbomb]

the runaways were brilliant and played as good as lots of legendary rock bands of the time so I can see why any female hard rock band (no pop like the go go´s or orchids etc) would had such a hard time.. no one wanted another runaways that proved the girl power so bands like the go go´s and orchids were promoted insted

[powergirl901]

The GoGo's also had a much harder time. Belinda and the gang were living almost on the street except for their commune house they and some others lived in.

The very first year, the Runaways had a limo taking them to gigs, and I mean in the United States, but no other group earned a limo until they were solidly earning sales.

[neonangelbomb]

but still, the go go´s were more popular in the mainstream, even though the runaways ruled the punk female underworld... kim fowley knew (knows) how to create the rockstar hype, but that was it, they didnt won money, they all lived with their tutors and parents, they were kids after all (until joan got her apartment in 78) and at the end they had to pay taxes for money they never saw, the runaways were 100 times better and never got a chance against the Go Gos mainstream succes in the USA

[powergirl901]

The GoGo's; they would never sing a song like "Cherry Bomb" and mean every word of it, and the Runaways would never sing "Vacation".

The Runaways time didn't come for them in America because people weren't ready to hear the lyrics of "Cherry Bomb" coming from 16 year old girls, and maybe even now it is still true. This may be why the Bangles and GoGo's broke into the charts.

Now are there many MALE groups with the Runaways sound were there? Lots, but this shows how repressed Americans are.

[neonangelbomb]

Truth.... in the runaways imdb board some people have protested against the movie and the casting of dakota fanning already... I guess that 35 years later, they´re still ahead of their time, maybe because they are actually timeless

[xFANPiREbabex]

the runaways weren't even really punk though.

[janie19]

classic rock

[RosaXX11]

@powergirl901 read the biography that cherie currie wrote, the one that got published this year. kim fowley was a bastard, and the entire band went through shit. they deserve every single good thing they're gotten or experienced so far, they've been soo strong! i admire them all, even lita and jackie. RIP Sandy (L)

[powergirl901]

@RosaXX11 ..was just thinking about this point. I finally hung out and got accepted in the all-girl band scene in LA during the mid-eighties, because it was really hard during the late seventies. The Runaways was not a band that you just "hung" with. They were incredibly serious about their career and future. They were "signed" then, which was amazing, supported Cheap Trick and the Tubes, both of which were on the radio, and played with trucks full of equipment. A different world then.

[Hacker73]

The Runaways kicked wide open the gates for generations of all-girls rock n roll bands; but the most impressive is how radical they are in fit all the needs: they are the FIRST, the BEST, the BIGGER, the YOUNGER, the most BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS, CUTTEST and the most TRAGIC. This finished any discussions. Perfect. A band made by God!

[HYfilms]

I wanna see Joan do a solo! I love Lita, I just wanna see it Lol

[neonangelbomb]

I think she does one in american nights.. or was it I wanna be where the boys are? .. I cant remember

[HYfilms]

@neonangelbomb Is there a performance of it?

[neonangelbomb]

my bad, as far as I can tell, joan does a riff in california paradise, she does the first one, just when cherie and lita are dancing .. check it out

[HYfilms]

@neonangelbomb K thanks!!

[awythegreat1]

girl rock has gone down hill

[herculania87]

As much as they broke up after 11 years. Try, Sleater-Kinney?!

[Annaa97]

@unlikeanyotherhuman Hello - Tegan and Sara!

[Annaa97]

@Annaa97 They are a decent girl band. Though they're only two people - twin sisters. They don't sound too much like The Runaways, but like both!

[ratzinator1]

holy lord, Lita's wild and crazy over on the right. I love her in this one. she's jamming hardcore.

[gaby47]

100%  PURE ROCK and awesomeness :D

[MiniMannerzz09]

I LOVE THE RUNAWAYS! the only one I like the most is Joan Jett. I love her! <3 :)

[xxx1v3tt3xxx]

Joan Jett <3

true goddest of rock

[animaniaco]

Girls playing Rock and wearing high heels = WIN!

[ZLUGGO]

Great tune. A marvellous band.

[reuscmar]

Awesome sound. That's a real girl-rockband!! Reminds me of Bowie..

[BeckyGaller]

@reuscmar Cherie actually fashioned her own look after Bowie. He was probably her biggest idol. And for a good reason too :)

[joskk74]

Brilliant version also check out Venus and the Razorblades doing this song and new album More Songs From The Sunshine Jungle!!!

[actron]

That Lita solo was pretty awesome.

[fallspeed]

Eszpresszo's comment up top made me realize they never recorded this song on a studio album. Must have only done it as a live cover. Fowley probably suggested they play it since it came from one of his bands.

[onebeat80]

The Runaways "Live in Japan" is one of my all time favorite records!!

[VanishaVampire6]

PURE!! Suck on that Britney!!

[muereme]

what does Britney has to do with this? god I hate when people can tell the difference between music genders

[VanishaVampire6]

I was just saying that 100% pf the young people today, only listen to thta disposable pop music and Hip Hop , they don´t even know who The Runaways are, and it´s a very sad thing, ´cause Rock ´n Roll is all its genres: Metal, Punk, Hard Rock, Glam etc... is the best music style ever. So , before you critisize someone you should know with who are you talking with, i´m a Heavy Metal guitar girl and i have a band, so i think i can tell the difference between music genres.

[Girrl92]

VanishaVampire6 i don't think 100% of the young people listen to crap music (as i like to call it) because i am 17 years old and i can't get enough of the Runaways and other rock bands alike

okay i may not know all the subgenres of music but i do know differences between genres

[Hacker73]

The Runaways made the Most Complete Rock n Roll Song EVER: "All Right You Guys" is THE definitive Classical Rock n Roll Theme, even more than "Jail House Rock", "Whole Lotta Shaking Going On", "Satisfaction", "Anarchy in the UK" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit". The Runaways --- Best Band Ever!

[tonythecloser]

Um.. I think the poster was referring to young girls with talent vs young girls with minimum talent. I hate when people don't look beyond the surface and I also hate it when people can't spell or use grammar properly.

[varsityredheads]

You mean between being able to play your own instruments and lipsynching everything on stage? Those different music genders?

[actron]

Hahaaa Yeeeesss!!! ,and the jonas brothers.

[followurdreamzbewhou]

@actron i like the runaways and the jonas brothers

[suzylux]

Cherie is a queen. I love her at the end 'Alright!!' They're all awesome <3

[Hacker73]

Yes. Cherie is 'the lost daughter of David Bowie and Brigitte Bardot'. GODDESS of the Goddesses.

ANY Runaways song is TONS heavier, powerful and better than ALL the today's 'music' productions.

Fuck off 'new rock'.

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

ALL RIGHT, GUYS!!!

[sunao999]

どうもありがとう！とても楽しかった。

Thank you very much! I really enjoyed this video.

[aiina93]

PD; I really like Jackie and Joan they're the best!!

[aiina93]

Ahh!! I'd love so much being 16 in the 76 not now )=

[fuzzleredmenn]

Ah, cmon girls, your killing me! Totally underrated 70's hard rock, nice crunchy guitars, this is up there with the likes of Kiss and Ramones, awesome stuff! Just like Girlschool & L7 they never got the respect that their peers did simply because they are female, which fucking sucks, I would put this up against anything (Apart from Black Sabbath and Motorhead, but nobody compares to those bands) More goddamn respect for the Runaways please!

[ph8nt0ml0rd]

FUCK YEAH, ppl talk shit, just cause they're chicks, but in reality, they can play just as gud, if not better than the guys!!! GIRLSCHOOL FUCKIN RULEs!!!

[Hacker73]

That's a RUNAWAYS MASTERPIECE!... Lyrics, music, melody... everything is perfect, as usual in that divine band, but this time, better than ever. Jackie's bass LEADS the music, giving UNITY by HARMONY. Lita and Joan fight in a duel of guitars. Sandy keep the "heartbeat" on her drums beating. And tragic Cherie explodes in passion, telling the stars drama. The girls were specially inspired.

[GaryG660]

Interesting to see Lita stepping back to play with Sandy. I've seen her do in almost all the videos on Utube. She seems to be the only one that does.

[hashysh13]

I have got to get this stuff on a dvd somehow. I can never find anything anywhere though.

[manuellopez1956]

Great song, immaculate live singing and playing...how often do you see that?

[natesot]

i love this song!

[DeadEndJustice13]

i wish theyre were more bands like this these grrrls fucking rock they are my freakin heros why cant grrrls rock like the runaways

[Wallonische]

OH, love the aggressiveness in Joans voice here together with Cherie Currie AWESOME!!!

I want more, I crave more "The Runaways" CherieO, and thanks for putting them up here.

[Wallonische]

Not difficult to see why Robert Plant asked Lita to play as a guitarist in Led Zeppelin, damn, I mean she's frigging ROCKS with them skills. :)

[starqz]

@Wallonische Wait- when did Robert Plant ask Lita to play with Zeppelin? Did it ever happen or how did you hear about this?

[SniffySniffles]

@Wallonische Did Robert Plant really ask Lita to play in Led Zeppelin?!

[wirreanda1979]

Queens of Noise...ROCK! Cherie Currie is such a great front-woman. She's 'dripping' with charisma and she still looks HOT now!

I LOVE THE RUNAWAYS. Thankx CherieO for yet another GEM.

[Hacker73]

BEST FEMALE SINGERS:

Cherie Currie. Tina Turner. Johnette Napolitano. Ann Wilson. Annie Lennox.

Chrissie Hynde. Suzi Quatro. Donita Sparks. Marie Friedriksson. Suzi Gardner.

Cass Elliott. Grace Slick. Irene Cara. Kim Carnes. Linda Lewis. Kate Bush.

[CatapultYourMom]

The Zippers did a better version.

[ActivityGrrrl]

i love this song! i love how they all bend their knees and lean back at the same time!! i love when bands do that!!

[RosalitaBU8]

Another RUNAWAYS fan here. Thanks for sharing this treasure. These talented, sexy, women are burning hot!

[LPcustom76]

i love joan's deluxe gold top! she is pretty hot too!

[elanips]

Joan is the one in all red!

[LPcustom76]

no, the les paul she is playing is called a "gold top". : D

[elanips]

oops,sorry,what a dope

[LPcustom76]

; )

[elanips]

& you ain't kidding, she is goddam hot

[scottdav]

I will say one thing Lita Ford sure has the leading guitar mannerisms down great!

[banditligroin]

This song rocks...however at around 2:56, Lita's string breaks and she still plays, so a pro!

[fuckinchikenshit]

It isn't string. This reflection from a projector's light on a guitar:)

[onebeat80]

you can't deny their influence on music day...sure they got their attention because they were women, but if they sucked as some people day they did, why are we still here watching their videos and commenting about them...they rocked!!!

[CACozmik]

Macca's an idiot. The Runaways were balls to the wall, fun, sexy rock and roll. No more, no less. They were also pioneers... the first all woman band that rocked.

[Beeea93]

yeah they owns

[Beeea93]

R.I.P Sandy West .. :(

[guerritmo]

this is amazing, thank you for putting it up!

[kpdave]

Another Runaways fan here. Don't you just love Cherie's jumpsuit and those awesome boots too. I cant get enough of seeing them perform.

[cherron1]

Great video cherio, how do you do it?/

[Eszpresszo]

Song was also recorded by Venus and the Razorblades, produced by Kim Fowley, around the same time. Was supposedly written by Venus' bassist, Danielle Faye, and her boyfriend who was in the legendary "Zippers". Venus and the Razorblades used this as their opening song. I'm curious how the Runaways picked it up.

[jimjustplainjim]

CherioO you have a great collection of videos - I've watched about half so far. Thanks a million

-jim

[blackkeno]

Great video. I'd never really thought of girls playing guitar as sexy... But Lita is smokin in this one.

[torrkin]

this is so amazing!!! this has one of my favorite solos by lita

[Django1974]

Electrifying :)

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

I can't believe you have this stuff, CherieO. It's phenomenal. I am indebted to you. Cheers!
