The Runaways - Wild Thing

[xTheQueensOfNoise]

This makes me a mix of happy and sad. Sandy looks so elated in this video. The look on her face is pure joy. RIP :'(

[lyelund]

Haha, Cherie's miming the song, get it?? :D

[GiveMeMyWhammy]

Omg they are amazing

[vallinera100]

JCLEE35903 Yeah,i love this band too baby !!! Cherrie was very good but it's true that she ruined ultimately the band,it's a shame but anyway all them were AMAZING !! I prefer Joan Jett although Cherrie did her job very well...Thank you for expressing your opinion, nice to meet you and I'm glad you like this band, make me happy to know that people love them. Greetings from the CANARY ISLANDS FRIEND, have a great week :)

I LOVE THE RUNAWAYS !! PURE AND TRUE ROCK !!

[ahadnagy167]

I love my Live in Japan album, but I miss seeing Cherie do her mime act at the end and her singing with Joan when she picks the mic up

[theTriceyShow]

this made my day :)

[pluntze2001]

Verrrry cool to see a TEEN-AGED Joan Jett ALREADY kicking some SERIOUS musical ass onstage here, in 1977!!!!! :)

[PurpleBabyBat]

i cant imagine how much fun it was to be on stage like that

[dmdiamond220]

i think u move me... i think i need you... ooh, i love you!

[Sokker001]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDY :D

[ahadnagy167]

I love the part where Cherie picks up the mic and sings with Joan

[tj47moeller]

Cherie does some pretty good miming.

[jerryjuicebag]

joan jett is so incredibley dueable!... ya ya i know i know...

[1XWildRebelQueenX1]

God, Sandy was one of the best drummers...R.I.P Sandy :(

[nightmarekidforever]

0:52 the reason why you could hear the snare drum hit even though sandy is using that hand to fix the mic is because sandy is just so awesome that she can drum with her eyes <3 R.I.P. Wild Thing <3

[jhumenproductions]

Whoever dislikes this is kind of an asshole. And guys, stop starting fights in the comments.

[zborovsky]

RUNAWAYS!!!! ENOUGH SAID!!!

[gabbie22k]

AMOOO DEMAAIS, SANDY DIVA ETERNAA S2S2S2

[musclecars60]

0:52 Why can you still hear the snare drum hit when she's using that hand to fix the mic?

[303Jeff]

@musclecars60 Her right hand hits it the first time if you look closely, and then the second time it hits it looks like she just barely got to it in time. She was a professional. Professionals know to never miss a bass or snare hit, even if it means messing up the ride/crash/hi hat.

[musclecars60]

@303Jeff You're right, thanks!

[CelebrityShoplifters]

@musclecars60 Her right hand that is playing the ride cymbal is the hand that crosses over and hits the snare as she adjusts her mic . all the while staying in time.

[amberfwn]

I wish the video was better quality, but it still rocks!

[2Kelzinha]

Eu amo Sandy ! <33 muito mesmoo

[largelester]

a real Rock & Roll band!

[provider112]

is there any band like this now, NO! The daughters of Alice Cooper that's they are!

[TheMeriale]

You have to admit though Joan Jett and Lita Ford had the talent. Sandy West was the Time Keeper but anyone could have been lead vocals and Bass. Cherie had a look and a persona that made her marketable. She could sing for what the band called for but I think with time and training she could have been great. She opted out way to soon. But the Runaways wouldn't have been the Runaway's without her.

[karkkiliininam]

How can you NOT love Sandy?

[Hacker73]

• Sandy's smile is the most beautiful thing in the world....

[SheenaAlexis]

cheries miming at the end was epic haha

[gigglemonster45]

i'm not a drummer, but i know how to play this on the drums

[Kingrob30]

Love Sandy's drumming! She beats them like they owe her money!

[veroLoreen]

@Zell666Dincht

the troggs! thank you

[LisaWalker5]

Poor, poor Sandy West... she didn't get her dream for to long did she. She was an amazing person and didn't deserve to die... If I could change anything about the world then I'd go back to 2003 (the year before she was diagnosed with cancer) and eliminate all diseases and hopefully she'd still be with us today. As it is she isn't. R.I.P Sandy West we miss you so much.

[maalox601]

This Band was amazing. Pudieron haber hecho mucho mas por El Rock

[maalox601]

Esta banda pudo haber hecho mucho, pero mucho mas

[ari4n4]

Joan Jett was and still is such a fox!

[MhaytlyMapple128]

Please memory.... Sandy is dead?

[mfawg]

Favorited. Lita channelling Gene Simmons during her solo is EPIC!

Whoever found this tape is an angel!

[taysuess]

fucking looooooooooove this band

[buhdaduhdadadadaduh]

R.I.P Sandy......

[netsirk2727]

THEY ARE THE RUNAWAYS

I LOVE THEM !!!

[blueberries4ever]

@vallinera100 Many people think Joan was the best singer. We all have our opinions.

[vallinera100]

@blueberries4ever Of course, I respect the views of other people, that's just my opinion, anyway Cherrie was the lead singer in the group, and she did very well.Its only my opinion.I like both..I respect...anyway thank you for expressing your opinion, have a good day.

I LOVE THE RUNAWAYS,ALL THEM !! :)

[jclee35903]

@vallinera100 Love this band too baby!! Can't give thumbs up to Cherrie though. For all she did in the band, she ultimately ruined the band. Just my opinion.

[DieciNoveDueCinque]

to be honest, I think this cover sucks. it's a bit too linear. but seeing sandy play makes me smile.

[Peter1999]

The Runaways are reallly fun to watch Too young and talent. Unbelievable

[frostay92]

what a champion :) an authentic legendary drummer, such a shame post-Runaways life didn't treat her with the respect she deserved, rest in peace

[ZLUGGO]

A true classic. Top band.

[CanadianMusicChick]

Amazing song... I may be a bit biased, but I like it much better than the original :) Its hard to believe Sand's been gone for four years. RIP Sandy, we all miss you!

[klkelly026]

RIP SANDY! 4 years ago today the world lost the greatest female drummer ever. <3 SANDY WEST!

[lizriot1]

sandy Rocked Out too ... RIP princess!! ...lol Cherie's closed box ..... Lita!!! what a legs

[ebiogolden]

i just love the smile on Joan's face when her and Cherie are singing together.

awesome finally to!

[ZLUGGO]

@ebiogolden

I never liked Cherie though.

[celebrant9]

Argh, it's too much fun watching their performances.

Pure rock 'n' roll spirit.

[yhohoho1124]

miley cyrus can learn something from these girls. someone send her the link

[mileyrcyrusspersonal]

@yhohoho1124 lmao... i love how in at least one comment miley cyrus is on it

[InfiniteEndsThere]

@mileyrcyrusspersonal Because she fucked up the songs. If a majority of the masses believe she sucks, she could've learned from that first before slaughtering a song she probably only heard because of the movie, like a majority of the commenter's suggest on Cherry Bomb

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

@yhohoho1124 Miley's already covered The Runaways before...appreciating the greats cannot give anyone talent.

[yhohoho1124]

i LOVE it when Sandy says, "squeeze me tight" and winks ;)

may she rest in peace

[Omniculler]

@yhohoho1124 Too perfect right? What a rockin lady! She will be forever missed.

[gigglemonster45]

@yhohoho1124 she's winking 'cause the camera is pointed @ her

[Parisxtc]

If this band could have stayed together for 5 more yrs they would have been as big as The Who

[TheRAMBO144]

COOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!

[moonshadow387]

God please give us back Sandy West! We'll give you Justin Beiber and Nikki Minaj!

[moonshadow387]

RIP Sandy West the best female drumer in Rock n Roll history!

[meraHALLON]

THAT´S ROCK'N'ROLL!

[wearedeadya2]

i love how joan and cherie sing together at 2:04

[meraHALLON]

play drums and sing at the same time.. that's AWESOME!

[netsirk2727]

Sandy West is such an fing awesome drummer!!! RIP

[Twilight17MissCullen]

Sandy is soo fking awesome.She can sing holy good! May she rest in peace.

[sparrowis3]

joan watches cherie throughout this whole performance lol

[twilight5171]

amazing ending!

[luluboahsexynonono]

How the hell does Cherie do that at the end!?!??! :)

[BloodSkater11]

@luluboahsexynonono i dont know but its FUCKING AWESOME :D

[froglobster]

I have a Joan playlist for y'all

[ladysainy]

god damn!!!!!! i need a drummer, bassist, guitarist and lets hit my garage ;) fuck gaga bring back rock n fuckin rolllll!

[gyt97]

@ladysainy you know it. im ready to jam on my guitar!

[DeilhGiaAntidrash]

why girls arent rocking like this today?

[xoalex914]

@DeilhGiaAntidrash i am a girl and i am rocking like this....but mostly everything thats mainstream is not good

[JJoanJJett]

@xoalex914 Good fucking point.. Mostly everything bad is mainstrem.

[lucyuen]

Sandy really a good drummer

[stella2453]

Dude.. I love The Runaways and respect Joan Jett for the idea... I wanna start an all-girl band! So much inspiration!!!

[runaways1975]

why the most young people listen to some sh*t like lady gaga or justin bieber??????? i was definetly born in the wrong decade

[runaways1975]

She totally Loved to play you just have to look in her face

[SoulGrinningLady]

Rest in total peace Sandy , I love this perfomance so much! Total girl crush.

[wips101]

ahahaha

THE ENDING IS EPIC !

[celebrant9]

Such a funky beat.Great cover!

Sandy's drumming, Jackie's AWESOME bass line and the way she totally compliments Sandy's playing, Lita's badass solo, Joan's grungy tune and Cherie's random dancing----> EPIC coolness.

Sandy putting casually the mike back in place 0:54, Joan and Cherie 2:05 and Cherie in the end, looooool.

They seem to be having a blast and that's exactly what playing music is all about imho.

Great performance, through and through!

[loveblue89]

@celebrant9 Agree with everything you wrote. Just awesome video all around :)

[colinraycyrus68]

didnt know the drummer sandy had died,,,,rrrrrr thats so sad she looked a lovely person,R.I.P. babe

[sa5mly911]

HOLY SHIT CHERIE!

[SoulGrinningLady]

She's soooooooooooooo cool , I love Sandy! Cherie and Joan were having there moments ... looks so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[28if]

was she left handed? playing a righty set like Ringo

[alainal0l]

RIP Sandy West, more girls need to play drums damn.

I love this band, I wish more people my age would listen to better music.. like this!

[WannaBeADrummur17]

I hate females these days, they listen to shit! Why can't they be like these rockin women?

[JJoanJJett]

@WannaBeADrummur17 Well there are few females like me who listen to good stuff.

[The096757]

@WannaBeADrummur17

they only promote black ghetto hags or white women who act like black hags. rocker women will never get heard in the media nowadays.

[darksideofthemoon18]

Rest In Peace, Sandy West

[headphone355]

Wha was Sandy doing (proffesionally) prior to her death?

[xxthasigerxx]

I LOVE SANDY WEST! i wish shes alive! I just cant belive that a wonderful person is dead! the way she is describe in the runaways movie,its just AMAZING! i wish i could have a friend like her! shes just amazing! she was and she still amazing!

SANDY WEST WE ADORE YOU!

REST IN PEACE!

R.I.P SANDY WEST.

[BloodThirsyMonster]

Hella yeah. We Love u Sandy R.I.P. girl! Best drummer in the whole damn world right there. A great rock 'n' roll loss.

[mimibomb2004]

Haha i love this song Wild thang u make my heart sing do do duh duh duh xDD

[norway1945]

I like the thing Cherie does at the end there..

[norway1945]

@dohyou True!:)

[TwilightaholicMiss]

so many artists have done covers of their music. I never knew they were the source of so many people's success! Seriously.

[giaathena1]

yeah sandy was hot ..

[partygirl209]

wow!! this is one of those songs u grow up listening to on the radio or at a party, but never knew who sang it!!

or at least it is to me!!

[winterwolf915]

R.I.P forever Sandy, you will always be loved and cherished, most def deserves to be in the hall.

[gumyrebe]

Oh my god...I had no idea that Sandy was the one who sing in this song..... It sounds a little like Cherie.....

I love sandy`s voice! RIP

[XmissfabulosfameX]

demi lovato sucks.

THE RUNAWAYS ROCK!

[parlangummibyxa]

OMG sexy hot good singing <3

[russellband]

3:15 I lol'd the miming was cool, but then she falls. If I had been there, I would have been cracking up.

[skipp10467]

I dont think she fell. She crouched down on purpose to accent the last drum beat.

[suzylux]

Noone ever says it hah.

Joan/Cherie. 2:05.

Infinite awesomeness, infinite hotness, infinite cuteness, infinite greatness.

Yeah. Infinite hearts, from me <3

[CieloLive]

wow Cherie was killin it at the end!!! Smokin! RIP SANDY!

[kuyakun8]

amazing ending

[halford05]

me encantas estas tipas.

[SereneAndTranquil]

R.I.P. Sandy West. She for some reason sounds more adult and sexy than the rest of the girls. Oh and God Bless Cherie Currie for working that stage regardless of the fact that she was only doing back up vocals.

[gretzz007]

My favourite The Runaways song

[grejambri]

God, everyone in the band is an amazing musician, but I gotta tell you... as soon as Cherie takes the stage, my eyes couldn't move off her. Her presence is just riveting! Loved the way she mimed out to the song's ending.

[HerLastPolaroid]

God, look at the sheer joy on Sandy's face when she plays! She's always smiling. You can tell she lived for it.

That, my friend, is why she deserves to be in the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame.

[JJoanJJett]

@HerLastPolaroid Yes, Sandy deserves to be in The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. All of them do, but Sandy... She was the soul of the band.

[rockstar5286]

Although sandy is great, i gotta disagree

it was JOAN that was the soul

Joan was the one that basically kept them together

[JJoanJJett]

@rockstar5286 People say Sandy is the soul, while Joan and Cherie were the heart.. Yeh, Joan kept them together for the most part.

[zangazoo2007]

@HerLastPolaroid YES! They do, and the HOF really needs to get off the arrogance about certain bands that are not in yet. The Runaways deserve this more than Madonna that's for damn sure. Cherie was first with the lingerie on stage.

[butterflydeli]

Sandy was an incredible drummer; I'm in awe. RIP Sandy!!!

[runawaysrool]

this one of the few i've seen with Sandy singing lead.

[lavalampfreak01]

they are soooo awesome :):) future me :)

[sarahandcamy]

my heros

[TheSpockman]

love that garage sound

[horrormoviefreak]

I love Sandy's voice. Very Cool. Sandy was a very pretty girl too. May she rest in peace.

[ShelterDogs]

Love it when Sandy sings "Oohh.. you move me." Man, I love that. She put her own little twist to this song, and it worked great. It's a shame what happened to her, and the fact that she never did get over the The Runaways break-up. :(

[MrBogleOgle]

boy, they totally whited this song up lol

[reressler]

Have to tell you, Jimi and many others have done a great job with this song, but it was written by a white guy and it became a huge hit for a bunch of white boys from the UK before others started recording it.....If they did anything with it, they grrrrled it up (long before it was spelled that way!)

[mrtamberineman123]

I thought Lita was blonde, or did she just die it blonde?

[catshattuck]

2:04 :)

[suzylux]

I love that Sandy sings on this and I love the way she sings it too. Hail!

[ShelterDogs]

Same here, Suzy. Totally rocks.

[JLC48]

Wow...great piece of history!! These girls rocked it!! RIP Sandy...

[WILLOW5033]

I like how they don't say "You make everything Groovy"

like the origional songs go, I guess that word wasn't cool anymore by this time.

[megbasketball09]

is this their original song?

[cokeydear]

No im pretty sure its by The Troggs

[froglobster]

Had the pleasure of seeing JJ and Blackhearts row 6 at river rock casino shes still so hot black tight leather great guitar and spit once on stage like the hot punk she is.......JETT MAKES MY AEROPLANE FLY

[fionalovesparamore]

the runaways are the best!!! this is probably one of their best live shows. these girls rock from the heart and soul and no one can top them! they really are the best all girl group.
