Lita Ford Jamming

[@davidsimmons9763]

In case anyone is wondering, she's playing her song, "Larger Than Life".

[@dannystewart1412]

I love the duet she did with Ozzy. If I close my eyes forever. That song is timeless. It still sounds fresh today. Rock on Lita...

[@aprildattilo5613]

One of my favorite female artists. Love Lita Ford

[@vinaymulukutla358]

Gotta hand it to Eddie Van Halen for encouraging her not to squander her talent back in the early 80's upon the demise of The Runaways when she was working in all sorts of jobs. Eddie then noticed that being aware of her talent and talked her into picking up the guitar again.

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

I never knew of that story.

[@vinaymulukutla358]

@@MrJohnnyDistortion I read it off some liner notes from a reissue of one of her earlier albums. She had been working as a fitness instructor when Eddie Van Halen noticed her. He was like “What is she doing here? She’s a talented guitarist.” So he went up to her and told her not to waste her talent and get back to playing. When someone exceptional like Eddie Van Halen tells you that you’ve got talent and that you should use it, you’d better do as he says.

I mentioned this to the Stones and Wyman had no idea who I was talking about so I mentioned Barracuda and Charlie explained it to him then Wyman grinned.
