First Time Hearing Joan Jett | The Blackhearts - I Hate Myself for Loving You

[@rettawhinnery]

Although I'm 77, I still love Joan Jett's guitar playing and singing. She's incredible. The epitome of rock and roll.

[@mage1439]

I'm happy you mentioned that. Her playing gets kind of forgotten.

[@wildbill7081]

Yep same for me I am 73 and seen her live in the 90's wow she is great

[@Wiley_Coyote]

You're only 12 years older than Jett, so I don't think your fandom is that shocking. If you'd been a 77 year old when this video was made, sure. But as someone in their mid 30s at the time? A little above the target age for the music, but not THAT much.

[@haroldsmith7044]

Joan is in her 60's now, and she still looks GREAT!

[@Tuishimi]

Heck, I am only 60 but yeah, I feel where you are coming from.

You'd recognize The Runaway's biggest hit, "Cherry Bomb". Originally sang by Cherie Currie. After Cherie left Joan took over full lead vocals. Joan and Cherie both did lead, depending on the song. The band also contained Lita Ford, she went on to solo success with "Kiss Me Deadly", and a duet with Ozzy "Close My Eyes Forever", as her biggest hits. Fun fact, in the very begging of The Runaways, Michel Steele was the bassist. She quit, and later joined the Bangles.

[@michaeljfoley1]

Yeah, I think Cherry Bomb was the only big hit song from the Runaways. A song written by Joan (she was 16 or 17 at the time) and manager Kim Fowley. I actually prefer the 1984 version of Cherry Bomb, when Joan re-recorded it with the Blackhearts.

[@120russell]

Early Bangles is very interesting. Like an all girls surf band that was pretty good.

[@Jaloja]

Joan Jet fought her way though the jungle and survived. She did so many things that were not supposed to be possible. Her stage presence is her earned armor.

[@MrBiggles53]

I caught her sweat towel that she winged into the audience in a 94 concert outside DC. YEARS of olaying outfield in little league baseball finally paid off. She caught my eye and winked 😎

would definately say +1 for Bad Reputation.

Joan Jett started, I believe, with "The Runaways", in the '70s. They broke up aft3r two or three years and Joan went solo then formed the Black Hearts. GREAT MUSIC any way you look at it.

I did a deep dive on Joan's discography in 2020, and I just fell for her. I love her look, her sound, her personality, her life story, the whole package. Such a unique, one-of-a-kind person. Pure Joanness! 😄👍💥💥🖤

[@mst3ktemple421]

I saw Joan Jett and the Blackhearts as the warm up band for The Police at a concert in Ann Arbor, MI way back in 1982. The Go-Go's were supposed to be the warm up but they were just starting to get some airplay so they got pulled off the tour. Joan filled in and KICKED ASS. The week she played here I Love Rock and Roll hit number 1 on the charts.

[@brookec.b.3611]

What a great 80's vibe and voice!! The hair and the leather jacket, SO GOOD 😎🎸🤘I didn't know who she was until the movie "The Runaways" came out and covered some of her earlier career with her first band. Love this song as well. I will have to dive into her other discography!

[@DianeJennings]

I need to watch that!

[@ajb3ww]

@@DianeJennings The name Runaways refers to all the girls in the band being under 18

[@michaeljfoley1]

@@ajb3ww Yeah, I think the youngest members were actually just 15, when they joined. Joan was already writing good songs by age 16, she said the first song she wrote was "You Drive Me Wild" from the first Runaways album, which is one of my favorite Runaways songs.

[@Dano_in_Texas]

Rock n roll is an attitude. Joan Jett epitomizes "rock n roll." She IS rock n roll. She's the embodiment of rock n roll. I love everything she's ever recorded. Her song "Bad Reputation" is definitely an autobiography.

[@DonP_is_lostagain]

Joan always rocked it.

So many hits... she still tours everywhere... She was in a movie with Michael j Fox from back to the future.. The movie was Light of Day, about a brother sister rock band struggling to make it in the 80s... it really was a good movie. Great reaction. Thank you. 😊

[@RichardEckhard]

Love this song and video. Still played on the jukebox repeatedly in the Midwest after all these years. Has great energy and beat! Rock On Joan...and Diane (and Chewie).

[@DianeJennings]

Rock on! 🐾

[@sisterdebmac]

About the acting... She made a really cool, gritty little movie called Light of Day where she and Michael J. Fox were a working class brother & sister bar band duo with a troubled family. The music was recorded mostly live by the cast in actual bars. Bruce Springsteen wrote the title track. It's available on KZbin. Check it out.

[@michaeljfoley1]

I love watching Joan's scenes from Light of Day. I wish she had appeared in more movies in her prime. She has such a presence, when on screen.

[@KennyRansom-l5k]

The Runaways biggest song is "Cherry Bomb" . Aside from the obvious "I Love Rock & Roll" , Joan's song "Bad Reputation" seems almost biographical & she also does a nice cover of the 60's hit "Crimson & Clover"

[@HabaneroTi]

Don't forget the Christmas song.

[@big8dog887]

The Runaways are probably more noted for the individuals who came out of that band. Besides Jett, we have Lita Ford, who had a successful metal career with hits such as "Kiss Me Deadly" and an absolute classic duet with Ozzy Osbourne called "Close My Eyes Forever". Also in that group was Michael Steele, who went on to join the Bangles, who were a hugely successful girl band in the mid to late '80s. You totally need to check out "Walk Like An Egyptian." "Manic Monday", written by Prince was also a huge hit. Then, if you like the Bangles, (and I know you will) you also need to check out the group that they succeeded as the world's biggest girl band ("band" being defined as playing their own instruments, as opposed to just four girls singing), the Go-Gos. (We Got the Beat, Vacation, Our Lips Are Sealed etc.) Besides Joan Jett, the other similar rocker chick of the MTV era was Pat Benatar, who had hits such as "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", "Heartbreaker", and "Love Is A Battlefield". Finally, I'd also recommend Heart, not a girl band per se, but the lead singer and lead guitarist were sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson. In the seventies, they were kind of Zepplinesque, with hits like "Crazy on You", "Barracuda" and "Magic Man". In the eighties, they became more of a mainstream commercial rock group (some say sellout, but they did it well) with hits like "What About Love", "These Dreams" and "All I Want To Do Is Make Love To You."

[@grizsam]

This has probably been mentioned in the comments, but….This song took on even more popularity with the premier of NBC Sunday Night Football in 2006.(USA) The music became the opening theme song for the football game, which is normally the highest-rated NFL game of each week. Different lyrics were used, however. The song was entitled, “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night,” and it’s been sung by different vocalists, through the years. Still, Joan’s music has been introduced to multiple generations of American-Football fans, since then, making the song immediately recognizable to more people than ever.

[@CapnDan57]

Hell Yeah, Irish Girl!! Joan has always been a Bad Ass Boss Lady!! I last saw the band, along with REO Speedwagon, last Labor Day weekend. Joan's still got it and put's on a helluva show. She jammed out 20 songs! Not only is music good for one's soul, awesome tunes like this are a key ingredient of the fountain of youth. Rock On, Diane! Let's Dance! So many great artists yet to get to, the anticipation of what's in the queue is almost unbearable...to the point of succumbing to those rock star habits. An entrepreneur from the age of 15, Joan Jett is a great example of what drive, commitment, and purpose will get ye. No big Record Company will sign, Feck It, starts her own. Gotta admire you gals with that go get 'em attitude! I'd bet even ED enjoyed the vibe on this one.
