I seen her at a concert in ‘80, general admission, got 1 person deep from her side of the stage, I could almost reach out touch her shoe, she happen to look my way when I was belting out her name and singing, my gawd, she sent shivers down my spine when she looked and winked at me, you just don’t know the beauty she possessed and how mesmerizing she was, pictures don’t do her justice, but it is what we have. Long live Joan.

[@Chadnmurfreesboro]

Same story, she's up there, sweat pouring her makeup down her face and she looked at me. My feelings jumped and I was immediately in love with this woman's style, her heart, and her looks.

Chris Ubias I did not mean to offend you. It is just a pet peeve of mine when it comes to speech and writing.

I'm pretty sure she had to work a whole lot harder than say the Crue or male bands. Her career is still good, that's a seriously long life in the rock business. I'm so glad the RnR Hall of Fame honored her. They need to pull their fingers out and get some others in there that deserve it!

There's a post farther down in reference to Joan being "old" and has "stepped aside" .. What??? Look, 60, 61 is not old. She's not old and she hasn't stepped aside. Pick up an instrument, learn how to play and love it. It will be with you, if you're lucky, just like it is with Joan, for life. I'm a month older than she is. I picked up a guitar at 8 and I can't see my life without one. I bought the first Runaways album not because the singer was hot (we said Fox back then) but because it was ass kicking music. Throwing stones at her because she's gotten older is, well f*cking Stupid. She's still got it and she hasn't stopped or stepped down. I don't think she'd know how. It's in her DNA.

[@JamesDeWeaver]

Tremendous comment! Cheers

[@nickdamit]

Actually, Suzi Quatro delivered JJ an unfair backhanded insult in an interview (it's been a while since I watched it). She all but stated JJ had copied her scream. I think that's why JJ didn't reference SQ in Bad Reputation docu, very much, stating she hadn't really heard of Suzi back in the 70s I don't blame her for not giving Suzi much in the way of props. I recall, decades ago, reading something (probably Creem magazine) about Joan talking about influences before the Runaway's. One in fact, was Suzi. If I recall correctly, the article stated that JJ had a photo of Suzi in either the heel or inside one of her stacks (AKA platforms, tall soled shoes popular in the 70s). Suzi had been an influence but, that flippant slap at JJs scream most likely pissed her off .. and who could blame her?! I'll see if I can find that Suzi interview

[@nickdamit]

Ok. I found some stuff, JJ has to have heard Qualifier: I was a fan of SQ, crushing on her before I bought my first Runaways album and before JJ caught my eye. Onward... There's an interview where SQ takes credit for JJs success. Perhaps on some level she was an *influence* but, JJ earned her success with blood, sweat, tears and damn near her life. JJ paid dues SQ never has. That's a fact. Length of time in the music biz or scene does not equate a heirarchy. When it comes down to brass tacks, JJ has had more success, sales and recognition. Period. Another slice of "here's another slap for you" by Suzi Q: SQ stated that "I think Joan Jett deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but I'm pissed off about it" because SQ feels she's more worthy than JJ is. That heirarchy thing again. Sorry but, SQ just doesn't have the same level of success, even factoring in her popularity in the UK Nope! A lesson in egotism: SQ stated that JJ was "disappointed to find out that I was straight!" ( then chuckled). Well, Ms. Q revealed on her old MySpace profile, under status, that she's "bisexual". How do I know? In 2008, I wrote to SQ asking her if she would wish my bass player, who had crushed on SQ for years, a happy birthday. Suzi was very generous in doing so without any problem. My friend then visited SQs MySpace profile, noticing said status. So, what's this straight business? Did she forget she came out as Bi? JJ may have had a school girl crush (and I emphasize Girl) but nothing more. SQ stated that in the 70s, JJ would wait after shows, in hopes of hooking up with her. Really, Suzi? Really...? JJ was under age, a minor. WTF difference would it have made if it were true? Jump back, Jack, get off your high horse, Suzi! For crying out loud, woman! Last, and this one is a blatant display of jealousy on SQs part...Suzi Q., Self professed Queen of Rock, has called JJ, (when JJ was H-O-T in the 80s & 90s), "Clone Jett" Those in combination with the other snarky things SQ has muttered about JJ, hell, I don't blame JJ for barely acknowledging SQ in the Bad Reputation documentary. At least JJ didn't reciprocate because she's just not full of herself. She doesn't need to boast or brag because JJ knows who she is when she gets in stage to perform.

[@storybellz]

@@nickdamit - I love Joan dearly, and can see how Suzi's comments would be hurtful to her on some level (even though I totally get where Suzi is coming from too). But, it's not entirely accurate to say that Joan never reciprocated. She has, in fact. In one interview, Joan said that she (Joan) wrote her own music, whereas when Suzi was having her success, she was "contrived". This was said when Joan was obviously miffed from an interviewer egging her on, by asking her about comments Suzi made. However, it falls flat, because Joan had her biggest success with songs she didn't write either- same as Suzi. Yet, they both are capable songwriters too. So, in that respect, they should not be critical of each-other- but Joan was at the time. Joan also suggested that Suzi must be "bitter"... I say all this to say that we need to be careful of putting one down while praising another. Neither is perfect. It's best to try to understand both of them, rather than putting one on a pedestal, because then, you are not really knowing who they really are. Hence, Joan, like Suzi, is far from perfect. She has said her fair share of things that she wouldn't want repeated now- I can assure you. Granted, she does try to always be mindful of how she comes across. But, this is miss "I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation" we're talking about here- so she has had her slip-ups... I will say though, the irony is that she seems to care about her reputation and how she comes across far more than Suzi does about hers- which may account for Suzi's more frequent faux-pas as far as comments... As for the MySpace page, I don't think it was really her. Are you sure it wasn't someone pretending to be her? Because it was said of her by her one-time manager that she was straight as far back as 2004- so unless she had an epiphany or something after that, I don't think she was lying. OR, he was referring to how she identified back in the 1970s, and then after that, she started to realize she was bi. That happens. Doesn't change the fact that when Joan was crushing on her (and she was- majorly! Just go listen to "Gotta Get Out Tonight" if you wanna know how much!), that Suzi wasn't open to it then. And as far as Joan being underage back then, it didn't matter to Joan. A] this was the sexy 70s. People were far less concerned with that back then, and B] I doubt it was much of a factor to Suzi either, because she too, crushed on older people, and even got pregnant by a married man when she was around the same age Joan was back when Joan wanted her. It wasn't an issue for either of them. One-sided desire was the issue.

Driving a taxi at around 2:00AM in Portland, Oregon in the early 80’s I was flagged down on a street corner a couple blocks from Satyricon. Joan Jett climbed in the back seat and said, “Take me to the airport motherf*ker!”. As I turned on the meter and started to pull away from the curb she said, “Do you know who the f*ck I am, motherf*ker?”. I said, “No, who the f*ck are you?”. She said, I’m motherf*kin Joan Jett, motherf*ker!”. And off to the airport we went. She had no luggage, and when we got to the airport she pulled a $50 bill out of her bustierre and handed it to me, and said “Keep the change motherf*cker!”. No lie, probably the best 14 minutes of my life.

In one 1981 interview she said she didn't even drink on tour, because it was bad for the voice. Though apparently she smokes something like a joint before recording, to roughen her voice a bit for that.

The Runaway days she always had a butt in her mouth. I quit 20 years ago and the 30 years I smoked before that definitely had an effect on my vocal chords.

I was in town earlier on and turned to see this gorgeous Joan Jett lookalike, she smiled at me and I smiled back. Being only a tiny woman I really did think it was just a fan copying her look. She walked off and on the back of her leather jacket it read Cheap Trick. Anyhow, I go to the gig and on comes that very same woman, hot as hell, tiny with Cheap Trick on the back of her jacket. That has to be the loudest gig I've ever been too and my ears were ringing for three days after. What an absolute legend and still gorgeous in that badass way

I've never heard Joan be this open and at ease during an interview. Best one I've ever seen!!!!

[@Frank-uf2vn]

She's 3 years older than me and I saw her in the early 80;s and my god, she wasn't just out of my league she was out of any person I had ever knowns league! and ...never mind 😍

[@gloriahufnagel5556]

JOAN JETT STILL ROCKS!!... seen her in concert a few years ago, awesome!

[@peterbooth1525]

As a rocker Joan kicks ass, it also doesn't hurt that she's hot. She let's everyone know when she's on stage she's in charge, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

[@timmytVA]

Good interview. They were prepared with good questions and let Joan answer without interrupting.

[@mikec2988]

How cool this is hearing from a Rock legend growing up raised on rock, I got into most of her tunes.

[@metroplexchl]

What a great interview! She's so authentic. Great questions from the interviewers.

[@colloidalsilverwater15ppm88]

Well, in socialist federal republic of Yugoslavia I was just a teenager of 16.. in 1983. On every break in high school our dj put joan jett on the speakers... very loud. I've enjoyed every minute. It was for me, sounds from heaven. We've been a part of western world, those days. Surely. Who did something wrong? Thank you, Joan Jett

[@smirkingdevil]

Well spoken and comes across as all class. Love her and her music.

[@kevinharms5158]

Mid 80s I used to put a buck in the jukebox and play I love rock & roll 10 times in a row
