Lita Ford - Lost on today's generation but a Goddess to us 80's metal heads

Her an Dora Pesch. Cant remember how to spell her last name

I never knew any real metal fans who were big fans of her. LOL

[@drunkrockerreaction2377]

....oh yeah....✌

[@steveriley7796]

Lita Ford was part of the band “ The Runaways” with Joan Jett.

[@bigh9248]

Lita should have had the success that Joan Jett has. Lita can out sing her, out play her on guitar and looks way better. Lita has more talent in her little finger than Joan does in her whole body.

[@Chris_Clark1MaidenFan]

big H Maybe so but that black hair and the black leather and that little grin she had, um umm. Brother, Joan made me tingly all over when I was in my late teens from 81-85.

[@bevil4aday]

@@bigh9248 Lita's ex-husband, Jim Gillette was a control freak that ruined her self-esteem and destroyed her career.

@@bigh9248 Come on man, you can like Lita and wish she had more success but that's no reason to put Joan down, she had plenty of her own talent and really helped women in rock back then have a voice.

Ozzy and Lita wrote this song together after getting drunk together in the studio!!😂😂

[@terryneely3386]

wrong,... This song was written by Nicki Sixx and Lita....

[@jimmyharris4340]

Terry Neely I know that the internet can b wrong but if u look on Wikipedia for the song it states that it was written by her and Ozzy(just looked it up) and look up Lita Ford and in her music career section it states "Kiss Me Deadly", "Back to the Cave", "Close My Eyes Forever", and "Falling in and Out of Love", a song co-written by Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe. The ballad "Close My Eyes Forever", a duet with Ozzy Osbourne, remains her most successful song, reaching No. 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100. I believe it’s saying she wrote in and out of love with Nikki... but it’s not real clear and if she wrote it with Nikki that’s cool too!

[@marilynk30]

It WAS written by Lita Ford and Ozzy Osbourne while hanging out and getting drunk!

Great duet. Ozzy is a legend and Lita is so beautiful (is it okay to say that in this day and age?). There was a lot of great music in the 80's but the 70's is my preferred decade and the 60's was also an amazing decade for rock.

[@sandratherrien5388]

Vince Evanko you're only speaking the truth, she is a beautiful woman!

[@dreichert1438]

Don't apologize for being a man or for paying compliments. You sound like a respectful person and I'm sure it speaks for itself. These damn people have us trying to be confused about being people anymore. The new mentality sucks! But we'll keep holding it down as long as we're here. Cheers

[@johncampbell756]

There is nothing wrong with saying a woman is beautiful. Talking about body parts is a different story. One of the ways that calling a woman beautiful can get someone in trouble is when comparing them to men and you say he good the man are at something and then only saying how beautiful the woman is without saying how good she also is. I think you are OK here.

In an interview I saw with Lita Ford she said Ozzy and Sharon came over and hung out with her one night and later on that night Sharon ended up leaving. Lita and Ozzy drank all night while playing pool and somehow the idea came up to write a song together and they wrote the lyrics to that song that night. To give you some context Lira said that Ozzy and Sharon weren't on good terms at the time so the song was partially wrote from Ozzys current state of mind with his Sharon.
