Since You've Been Gone - Cherie and Marie Currie

[1destra]

@Hanzey666 Yes it was written by Russ Ballard Duh but Rainbow wasn't the first band to perform it.

[YrendenQ]

cool

[JettBlackheart83]

1 2 3 4owwwwwwwwsince you been gone

[vectrexer]

Nice!



[GRILLBUOY101]

cool and she don't look like bill murray!! bon scott is good too and i love his voice on oops imean graham bonnet duh my fault!! i love the msg album assault attack!!! ulcer and samarai are great and don't forget assault attack!!

[moonspinner55]

gotta love Cherie imitating the echo effect from the original record!

[barnabas50]

Joan certainly can sing she did great on crimson and clover.

[Smithfieldis]

some lesbian power meeting or...

[XenoType008]

Cherie can sing, Joan Jett cannot... Joan is the one who used sex and image to make it in the end.

[1destra]

@XenoType008 Joan Jett was a better singer and performer hands down and Joan's music has lasted through time for generations but Cherie's music did not.

[TheZeldagirl10]

I know Sandy most likely didn't know the drumming in this song, but it's weird not seeing her behind the drums.

[78winther]

dame cherie is hot

[Bohatov]

Rainbow song.



[1destra]

@Bohatov The song was done by the Currie sisters before Rainbow remade it.

[Hanzey666]

@1destra You are plain WRONG !! Written by Russ Ballard, Rainbow had a Hit with it Graham Bonnet sung,....then after THAT a lot of covers were made

[Hanzey666]

@1destra Messing with the Boys Album of currie came out in 1980, after Rainbows Since youve been gone. The title is sometimes miss-spelled yes, but it stays the same song anyhow

[1destra]

@Hanzey666 Look it up correctly and no they did it first with Capitol records in 1979 and the album title was

Cherie Currie and Marie Currie

Since You've Been Gone

Since You've Been Gone / Longer Than Forever

Capitol 1979.

[Hanzey666]

@1destra Could be...Im in Europe and here it was Running with the Boys released in 1980.......

[1destra]

@Hanzey666 The correct title of that album you are referring to is called "Messing' with the boys" not "Running with the Boys which was published in 1979 also. Look up  " Cherie* And Marie Currie – Since You've Been Gone / Longer Than Forever" to find the year that it was published in 1979.

[marcsioux1]

They both have good singing voices, as you can hear on the Messin With the Boys album. Cherie is more used to live performing. And I believe that is Tina. Marie's daughter singing with them? She should definitely take up singing, as at the same day as this was recorded, you can hear Tina's strong backing vocals on the Messin With The Boys track

[wildnites558]

The version I remember back in like '77 or '78 that was played all over FM and AM was by the old band Head East. Rainbow's version came a little later.

[NunuInvincible829]

.........the weren't lying when they said they were twins:0!

[NunuInvincible829]

@TheThomp2339 lmao

[ahadnagy167]

Cherie is really rockin out while Marie is really laid back. She obviously isn't used to stage life

[Warjacki]

The song was written by Russ Ballard, who played guitar and sang with Argent, and was also covered by Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow.

[kpdave]

@TheThomp2339 No this is not the Kelly Clarkson song. The titles are very similar. Kellys song is "Since U Been Gone", and this one is "Since You've Been Gone". They are totally different songs, but both are good.

[fumetti]

@kpdave Rainbow made it famous.

[iamtherandomer]

You can see that cheries much more comfortable and great with the stage than marie. I love cherie :)

[lauranamae]

I love Cherie in the Runaways, nowadays ehh. Why does she take everything about bad 90s fashion and wear it all at once?..no disrespect, but come on.

[tj47moeller]

@lauranamae It was the nineties when this video was recorded and it wasn't bad fashion then. There is "bad" fashion in every decade, especially now...

[lauranamae]

So Marie never learned how to control her tone/pitch very well, huh? Kept a finger on her ear the whole time.

[ahadnagy167]

@lauranamae she probably had an ear thing in and was trying to listen to the song while she performed

[snuglebuny1978]

I Have A Twin Sister 2, Their Awesome

[Sk8erGirl2k8]

i like that Marie kept the bowie hair style :}

[TheMeriale]

It's funny how Marie wanted the fame and Cherie didn't. They must have been switched at birth.lolzz.. Marie always wanted to be famous one yet it came naturally to Cherie. Cherie really should have stayed with the Runaways until they faded out, she would have had better success had she stayed. Joan Jett burnt up the chart's in the 80's and early 90's with the Blackheart's. Yet I do believe Joan could sing a heck of a lot better than Cherie could. Not to mention her amazing talent for the guitar

[edditude09]

I just read something that Kim Fowley wanted Marie who wanted nothing to do with Kim as she thought he was kinda of perv. Marie balked and Kim then aproached Cherie who accepted the offer...

[chica1yeye]

what year was this?

[crackerken30]

i think cherie was so much better in the runaways. why the fuck did she leave? she woulda been better off. this shit with her sis is crap

[chrisw2546]

So much for being identical twins. Marie actually looks younger than Cherie. I find this song sad as it represents, in my mind, the true end to the Runaways and the beginning of a tough time for Cherie. I feel it more watching the video.

[267sam44]

COM"ON Good Old ROCK & ROLL!!!!!!!!!!

[stylgiannoutsos]

excuse me but i thought that the younger version of currie would naturally be the prettier but shes like a gazillion times prettier now that shes older with clothes on.I wonder if she got her boobs done or if  the actually grew in after she quit the runnaways.........what a beautiful woman in her 40's WOW

[zardoggies]

I have never paid any attention to any of the runaways or the Currie's music,but I can say after hearing there music ,they where very good ,I really like them,Talent Plus and IM pretty critical about music,being in bands and music,now IM doing movie score's,I really would have like to produced them,I would still like to produce them,there seam's to be a lot of music that should have been laid down.M.S.S. HOLLAND

[losthighway89]

Oh man i have heard the original n i love it...thanks cherie for covering it :)

[Lisarata]

This is all right. It's right up there with the Bangles and the GoGos.

[mjsound12]

LIke I said On another Post This song is ORIGINALLY FROM THE BAND HEAD EAST W JOHN SCHLITT as A SINGER THEN THE BAND RAINBOW COVER IT! I JUST SAW THIS TODAY CURRIES COVER IT TOO AWESOME SONG!

[louislindner]

I had just moved to California from Ohio and used to listen to this on the radio in Hanford, California outside of Fresno. Great memories I will never forget. Love you gals.

[mickeyitaliano]

To answer a question: this was recorded at a comic book store in 1999 in Los Angeles...I was there

[heartwings61]

Is Katt Lowe there? I thought I could see her? Love these girls, my faves!!!

[1488goo]

cherie sing really good, but marie noott lol

[wisesatyr72]

Honestly I didnt know Cherie had a twin sister, very far out..

[WendyRustrian]

@wisesatyr72 some people say that they were triplets but the 3rd sister was an actress

[amberfwn]

Does anyone know where this was recorded?

[cricketbat08]

I think the Runaways could reform without Sandy. She could be replaced, and although it would be different, it would work. Led Zeppelin have performed with a replacement for John Bonham.

[flarbton]

she looks great, in great shape.

[iCatey]

I love how Cherie still performs like a rockstar. Its great to see she hasn't lost her stage presence :)

[riotxxhil]

It looks like the person next to Marie is out of tune or something bc Marie keeps covering up her ear on that side. Either that or she's having trouble with her own part. iunno. Would be awesome to see them! I'm sad that My generation missed the runaways!!

[CherryBooooomb]

@riotxxhil im a singer too and sometimes we do that so we can hear ourselves when the music is very loud

[PaigeHew]

Is that Vicky Blue singing back up beside Marie?

[amberfwn]

@PaigeHew, No, that's not her.

[viLvV]

they're twins, right?

[LaLokPR]

@viLvV yup

[AlwaysRandomGirl247]

cheries voice is slightly deeper. ^^

ITs funny how much they look alike, being identical and all...

[cricketbat08]

brilliant live vocals! Cherie has always been amazing and sings well with her sister.

[aqualungtx]

I think Cherie & Marie Currie are the hottest twins that ever lived. They're a real delight to see and hear LIVE!

[demigrl21]

marie seems to be alilttle outta tone but cherie still got it going! n wow they look nothing alike any more,...cool!

[binboh]

Cherie is definately the stronger singer of the two

[betaville72]

How many backing singers?!!

[sickosister]

She still got the rock, huh?

[JustNess78]

what year was this?

[tinkerbellx94x]

Eh cheries on the left right?! She has longer hair xx

[kpdave]

@tinkerbellx94x Yes Cherie is on the left in the video with Marie in the center. Cherie has let her hair grow long compared to Marie who in this video has her hair in a similar style as to when they were young and recorded this music.

[Hunkola]

Identical twins ??

[tinkerbellx94x]

@Hunkola Ya there identical twins! Theyre unrealxxx

[brainseatpeople1]

They both sound pretty good, but I think Cherie sounds a lot better.

[Merlin8157]

Man thank God you stayed with us all these years Cherie, and you too Marie. I remember when this LP...yes I said LP...lol Came out. It Rocked from tune after tune. Thank you sooo much for the the memories you two.

[shaithis45]

@Merlin8157 in my travels I picked acquired some of the Runaways CD's myself. Two were imports. Well worth the investment. Glad see Cherie popping up on the scene every now and then. They've all progressed. Even Sandy. Didn't matter whether they made it or not. The point is they are lived and survived.

[CherryXXBOMBX]

@shaithis45 what?! "lived and survived" ....... you are aware Sandy passed away right?

[267sam44]

Cherie is ROCK & ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IconVanity]

The only way I can tell them apart, is, Cherie seems more out going.

[xoxpctxox]

can anyone tell them apart??!! :)

[brabon1]

cherie's face is a bit longer

[superlive98]

A smooth transition from jailbait to milfs.

[seanellio]

@superlive98 That is funny. I wish I said that.

[evilsnakes1]

i wouldn't fuck them though. cougars.

[Phrenny]

@superlive98 lmao- my thought exactly!!!

[Steve99jp66]

@superlive98 If only had been 'smooth'. Unfortunately, by all accounts, it was hell for Cherie.Of course, Joan Jett was super-talented and destined for greatness. I completely agree! But Cherie doesn't get the recognition she deserves. She is thought of as just the 'jailbait', manipulated pawn that fronted The Runaways. But the truth is she was SUPER talented, as easily seen here or in her earlier recordings. I'm glad she's doing well, but I wish she had made more music over the years.

[95Q]

Autismbass: This song has been done by SO many rock bands. Russ Ballard wrote the song in the mid-70's, and it's been covered by Head East, Rainbow, and countless others.

[neutrino78x]

It is sad about Sandy West, I definitely think the new movie should be dedicated to her memory.....but, OMG, the surviving members of the runaways are all SO HOT!!!!!!!! They are all old enough to be my mother, but woah, SO INTENSE!!!! Especially Joan Jett, but all of them. Cherie is kissable in this vid!! :)

[bloggo1]

they really aut to do a Runaways reunion!! :-)

[xbri0432x]

As much as I love that idea and wish the same, who would replace Sandy? The Runaways aren't the same without her. It would feel totally weird to have anyone in her place. I mean, I could maybe see Debbi Peterson (drummer for the Bangles) filling in for her. It still wouldn't feel the same. Sandy was, like, the heart of the Runaways. Once her drum stops beating, The Runaways can't function. They can get transplants, but it just wouldn't feel the same as their original heart. (thinking out loud)

[bloggo1]

sure, and the same complaint is said about groups that replace originals too, like Kiss. i don't think any reunion was ever planned anyway, as far as i ever heard!

[xbri0432x]

Well, I know Sandy really wanted to get the band back together and it might've happened. There's still hope! If they ever have a reunion, they better find a kick ass drummer. Maybe with the movie and all it could happen within the next year or two.

[bloggo1]

i'm hoping! they would be so kick ass!! :-)

[leiefilm]

well that might be true but didn't stop gene to cash in on it big time.thats one of the reason it didn't last.gene wouldn't share equaly(acoirding to peter)

[suzylux]

Marie really sucks lol, but Cherie is amazing. She STILL has that crazy, theatrical fire about her when she sings and its in all her movements, etc. GOD tho someone PLEASE make her over!? Her outfit is an absolute eye sore. It's like a total 1991 Kelly Bundy outfit (maybe). Improve that fashion sense Cherie, c'mon! Then maybe you, Lita and Joan (and Jackie?) could do a reunion tour!! <3 you tho Cherie, you rule xoxo

[SuesDaytona]

Hey they make more money than you, So shut up.

[suzylux]

I happen to be an heiress to the Ducksauce Inc. family fortune.

I think you owe me an apology ma'am ;p

[SuesDaytona]

Ok, Quack Quack

[eryops56]

hey,when are you girls coming back to new york for a convention? i still have my picture sleeved single of this song. was a catchy tune!

[autismbass]

OMG.... This was a song that Clout recorded back in South Africa (and they recently re-recorded it again for their comeback release called "Since We've Been Gone"). Coincidence.

[RetardsOnTheBlock]

Hey,,, Marie still looks like they did in the 80s, but Cherie has aged nicely

[vilzvet]

Underrated singer Cherie was/is. Real nice tone to her voice. She needs to do more! Acting too!

[267sam44]

Rock ON!!

[rosbergs3]

This is really good.

[brabon1]

was this the gig and the signing at the golden apple on melrose?

looks like it

if so...i was there

and cherie and marie are the nicest gals on the planet

i could barely speak when i was getting my book signed...just told cherie that i had a crush on her since i was 17

[Goo1488]

lol marie sucks and cherrie is fucking good LOOOL

[ottowes]

Nice to see-and hear-Cherie and the rest of the band! She ALWAYS rocks!

[ipilaitela01]

cherie's the one with shorter hair right? :D

[CarolineMunro]

No, lol. Cherie's the one with the long hair.

[xenaswolf]

Ok can anyone tell me left to right who the backing vocals are?

[julieswahn]

Color me SHOCKED!

[KissFanSite]

K-I-L-L-E-R!

[Helimoth]

Cherie is so much more energetic than Marie, hahaha and I don't like the really high pitched voice in the chorus...but still what an amazing song/video :)

[finallyfree69]

AWESOME !!!!!! still sounds great what an awesome video

[JulietsMama]

Thank you so much for posting this! I've been a fan forever!!

LOVE IT!!
