The Runaways - Dead End Justice (studio version)

[@marksoquetjr4693]

A totally underrated rock band

[@nicolecumella2118]

Mark Soquet, Jr completely agree!!! Some of those guitar solos are sick and she’s only 16!!! She plays better than some grown men

The movie is what did it for Me, I didn't even know who The Runaways were until I watched the movie last week on Netflix. Now I'm a Runaways Super Freak. I love this band, and I'm 57...lol. Pretty fucked up. Although, back in the mid-70s, I wasn't listening to this kinda stuff. I was in Junior High, or thereabouts, and I was more into 10CC, Fleetwood Mac, Foreigner, Eagles, & some old-time Rockabilly Stuff & The Beatles...Back in their Sweet Georgia Brown Days, before Ringo, when Pete Best was the Drummer & Tony Sheridan was singing for the band ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3yviqVpo6amkMk ). But, Joan Jett & Cherrie Bomb.....back in the mid-70s.....YUM!!!!!

[@Drummingvulture]

Saw them in '78 opening for the Ramones. They were one of my favorite bands, and my girlfriend's favorite. We were there to see The Runaways. Had only heard the Ramones' "Rocket To Russia" album and were still trying to digest the whole punk scene at the time. Got backstage after the show and got a great kiss from Sandy! My girlfrind wasn't even jealous; She wished SHE could've kissed her! A kick ass concert which also turned me into a huge Ramones fan! RIP, Sandy. Love ya!

[@Baffled-f9d]

I had a video of ,my three year old dancing to Cherry Bomb in 2012 with Dakota Fanning on FB. One of my relatives flipped out. I explained she just liked the music, and had no idea what it meant.

[@SteveBerberovic]

Sandy West,tremendous drummer. She and Lita Ford were the more "metal/hard rock"oriented members of the band, and IF the band hadn't imploded and they could have been more influential in the writing, who knows? The Runaways may have gone in a very different direction musically.

[@markallemand8566]

Yeah, but Joan got hotter and better looking than all the them !

[@VanielDeeform]

It was a great shame they couldn’t just blend the hard rock metal & Glam Punk together, they would’ve surely got even greater recognition & success that they deserved. 1980’s would’ve lapped them up! But they were up against so many odds it’s absolutely astounding what they did in that time alone!

Fav part

[@kennanlukacs]

@Coy Leigh but they birthed two of the most iconic female leads of the 80s and early 90s... not to mention, most of them discount the band because they were teenagers and as such the themes and ideas they sang about were based on such as well. They’ve even said they wouldn’t have lasted because they were teenage “runaways”. It wasn’t meant to last, but was meant to be decent while it did.

[@TimmyTickle]

@Coy Leigh So... you think “Gucci Gang” has better lyrics?

[@bradleykeefer8896]

I saw them do this song live at a small hall in Canton, OH back in the day. They were amazing and they acted this song out down Lita "gunning down" Cherie with a fierce guitar solo. Blood packs exploded and the roadies came out a carried Cheri offstage. Saw them one more time before the band broke up. Those were some good rock and roll days!

[@fallspeed]

Very well done! Jackie on her Runaways blog wondered if anyone had a film of them performing this song, with her and Lita playing the prison guards, beating up Cherie while she spit up stage blood. This is probably the closest we'll ever come to it.

Also, until I read Jackie's blog regarding this song, I did not know that the group did a little 'play' and acting out when performing this song. Your still images of Cherie on the ground after the ' beat-down ' and the photos of her ' blood ' covered clothes are priceless. Rare stuff Indeed !

I was in my 20s in the late 70s ,, american males did not listen to female rockers , led zep , black sabbath , deep purple thats what the guys listen to .. with bowie you pretended he was straight and strange ..we live in a much more open minded society today ..I think their fan base was teen girls ... i was and odd ball i liked female rockers like janis , jefferson air plane . suzy Q

[@sororves]

LUIS ANGEL ESTRADA , VELEZ Dude, you are SO right! I was a little younger than these girls & wanted to do what they were doing - they were my idols. But I couldn't get the girls around me to take up instruments & go for it, & as you said, the guys ignored female rockers. Most had never even heard of The Runaways! So, I got thoroughly discouraged & gave up. Later discovered I'd have hated life on the road, anyway. Ironically, it was on a tour that featured Joan Jett & Robert Plant! At least THAT dream came true!!

[@Skytrooper82d]

I was about the same age as the girls and we listened to them a lot.You're right, some of the older guys didnt think they were 'real rockers'..A friend's sister brought it home from college.. We loved it..Still do..

@@ravenking803 yes I agree. Most of these women today do choreographed strip routines on stage. All they do is have dancers and entourages who must worship them. Younger people today have no real idea that groups used to actually play instruments and didn't use auto-tune.
