The Runaways - Neon Angels On The Road To Ruin

[@Shamoo28]

that beginning riff is very reminiscent of zeppelin while the main riff reminds me of sabbath. these ladies really don't receive as much credit as they deserve. they were fuckin' badass

[@mayenglish4572]

Nothing else like them. I fell head over heals in love with these powerful girls in the 1970's. Absolute amazing musicians. Lita Ford on the guitar? Just a teenager!~ She is right up there with Angus from ACDC.

[@suzylux]

love Sandy's drums in the opening.

[@suzylux]

yyeah, and the end ;D

[@ItsKimiTime]

Lita Ford is seriously too awesome.

[@coffeedrinker13]

Not only are they very talented, not only are their songs rock'in, not only are they all sexy as hell, they all always look confident, and and having fun!!

[@Anthem1976]

I had this on vinyl and remember listening to it in my basement rec room with my buddies drinking vodka and OJ. It was 1977 and a great time for music!

[@AJDwatching]

Lita Ford is so freaking amazing

[@Beeea93]

R.I.P sandy you and the runaways changed the worls :( rock angel

[@Guitarzzzzzzz173]

Great performance of this song. Lita and the rest of the girls really tear it up. Nice to hear the audience screaming and appreciating the history in the making.

[@demonhoopa]

What a great live performance of this song. Impressed with how strong and cleanly, Cherie (sp?) nailed this song (one flubbed note aside) considering it's clearly not in her comfortable range. I don't think I fully appreciated what a good singer she is when I was a kid.

[@amberfwn]

@TheFORDFAN86, to me, Lita and Jackie rocks this song.

[@Peskygee1]

One of the Runaways very best songs. They are smokin'! I hope that the movie will revive interest in the Runaways and maybe they can finally make some well deserved money and recognition for their work. Cherie is simply fantastic! The band still rocked later, but they never sounded as good vocally without her.

[@sugasoul189]

lita ford is just amazing! these girls were so badass. but joan has always been my fav

[@hlywdplayer]

This song kicks ass - love the whole "Queens of Noise " album , Lita is awesome on lead -especially when she plays 12 string guitar on the song Johnny Guitar , my favorite off the album

[@267sam44]

This is 70's ROCK & ROLL For all TIME!!!

[@Runawaysbabe]

Lita is absolutely amazing in this! I want to be like her! And Cherie has such stage presence, it looks like they all belong there. Which they do! I miss music like this!

[@MRGXX64]

SCREW THE GO-GOS & THE BANGLES !!! THE RUNAWAYS WERE THE MOST TALENTED WOMEN IN MUSIC !!!

[@lefthandedgenious]

Saw Joan 3 weeks ago in Reno Nv. at a biker rally. She still rocks and looks incredible.

[@coffeedrinker13]

besides a great song, they play with a lot of confidence. love the runaways. they do rock.

[@juliawilliams6658]

Cherie is so amazing !!!

[@amberfwn]

@LinkinParaJJluvr, Mos def overlooked. I love the intro, the mid part with the bass and lead, then the end which resembles the beginning. I just played it on the way home from work today :-) Along with Cal. Paradise!

[@HBD3KittY33]

love them &&'d there music ; music has changed &&'d neeeds to go back to this ; god please make me a teen in the 70"s

[@LinkinParaJJluvr]

i think this is one of thier most overlooked songs. That riff at the beggining and end is baddass.

[@joshjenkins6883]

bet you all didn't know that Cherie does actually answer her fan email. ive actually exchanged 3 emails with her about her carvings. although since kim died she got very quiet.

[@Gleee4Eva]

Lita ford is crazy on the guitar in this :D in all the songs she played amazingly!! but this one especially blows my mind

[@Grrtoallusernames]

Seriously wish I had been born back then so I could have seen these amazing girls(now women) live!!!!!

[@chumleychumchizer9035]

I guess I'd forgotten how capable a teenage Lita Ford was. I've been picking for 35 years and no band will touch me.

[@giselletrendkill8594]

They were AMAZING live!, this is killer \m/

[@cinnamongirl5410]

i love Lita Ford, she is amazing

[@gaby47]

she is a BEAST O_O ! sooo brilliant dude

[@juliawilliams6658]

The first time i listened to tihs damn song i was like What an annoying voiceOf course i was wrong Listening hundred times now im in love with this one

[@allendl181]

God I love those heavy, crunchy, hard rockin' 70's guitar riffs.

[@ChillerKane]

Excellent ...thanks for posting. I never go to see the Runaways ... awesome to see them now.

[@sarambs]

1:32 it's funny!! Lita immediatilly looks to Cherrie!! Love you girls!!

[@tita4ewa]

Lita ford is just undefeatable and she was only 17. Amazing.

[@lovemusicforeve]

Love the guitar solo!!!!!

[@gaby47]

agreed! :) she is soo badass and so is lita

[@eiensm252]

what an amazing song! f¨*** great

[@Madsurveyor]

That was awesome...

[@SquirrelGrrl]

I feel privilaged to have seen this video... if i had been able to see it live, i would have been blessed.

[@amodgirl56]

Thanks for the videos! All of them.

[@MetalDragonKronos]

I loooove the headbang of Lita, she is sooo heavy

[@Taranau]

Me too.Good stuff you got here.

[@fiercemaryjane]

fucking Lita Ford rocks this!!

[@BetamaxBabe]

Induct them into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. NOW!!!

[@blazak]

When of the greatest rock riffs ever and Sandy West KICKS!

[@smac929]

Great Band!! "LONG LIVE THE QUEENS OF NOISE!!"

[@deathdollmania]

lita ford rocks on fuckin guitar

[@estasnervioshoo]

the best song

[@Newwaverose]

If you read Cherie's autobiography you would know that Joan Jett was in fact quite shy to start with.....

[@metaclip]

Excellent! I wasn't familiar with this song until I found it while searching for Runaways clips. Thanks so much for the post, CherieO. This song was ahead of its time. The drum beat (R.I.P., Sandy) at the very beginning sounds like a precursor to "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2. And the guitar lick (I see you, Lita!) from 0:25 to 0:41 could have been the inspiration behind "Alive" by Pearl Jam.

[@suzylux]

Lita's a fucking beast. then and now.

[@karkkiliininam]

Lita was so metal! R.I.P Sandy West Joan you are the fucking rock'n'roll queen! Cherie shoudn't of had the breakdown she had sorry I have nothing on the bass player but ROCK ON! -peace-

[@xthatonezeldagirlx]

Everything you just said totally describes me and my feelings toward Cherie and the song. I MUST MEET CHERIE!

[@kimberly-owo]

I LOVE HER!! ❤💀🎸🎶

[@ujyphiladm8]

GREAT ROCK SOUND!

[@zaymarelize]

me too I wish I was born those years now in 2013 Im trying to do that But people just pissed me off

[@amberfwn]

@510cmarie, According to Jackie, Lita was not. It's the way Cherie portrayed her in her book Neon Angel. I had thought the same thing. Jackie told me that "Lita doesn't get the credibility that she deserves" and left it at that.

[@nazibrothel]

I agree! Cherie is a great lead singer.

[@MeiglanL]

I totally agree.

[@stevieVantanna]

it is glamy punk rock! come on! I think she sounds great-It's all about the energy and raw sexiness-and Lita's killer guitar playing.

[@Beeea93]

me like the solo very much XD YEAH

[@MrRushhans]

Best female rockband

[@eiensm252]

sandy was an amazing drummer!

[@josedemelojuniorjunior]

Girls in Rock

[@ThomasTERichmond]

Man doesnt Lita Jam or what? lol. What a great era in rock history, thank you once again, a friend of Cherie's. Best Regards Thomas

[@liah724]

This my jam when I'm not listening to Lil Wayne, karate chopppp.

[@Soundeagle3456]

I'm so happy for you, a women who sees beyond color.

[@ahngination]

@TheFORDFAN86 I was noticing that about Lita myself. I love the Wilson sisters a bunch but Lita does rock!

[@Goatchild90]

Thank You so much for uploading these. I know you get this alot but I'm a HUGE Runaways fans (I'm a dude by the way in case that should be relevant) and I used to watch these clips all the time now I finally have an account so now I can favourtie them (I'm also canadian) and comment on how much I love these Rockin' Lil Gals. Thanks again :)

[@amberfwn]

@charmedpikis92, well that's probably why she did name it that, Neon Angel anyway. I know a lot about the band 'cause they are my all time fave band. I'm the same age they are & I bought each album as they were released. As my sis recalls, every 5 minutes as a teen I was talking about the Runaways. I had to enjoy their music all alone because no one I knew either never heard of them or didn't care about that kind of music. It would have been great if I had had a friend to enjoy their music with.

[@splarsen]

Rock n' ROLLLL!!

[@amberfwn]

About a month ago I asked Jackie about her gold jacket. Told her I would love to buy it from her. She stated she dosen't even know what happened to it :-(

[@cherry88]

this intro is badass

[@mudfactoryvideo]

Lita's tone kicks ass here.

[@rogeliobravo6982]

i lo ve runawaya

[@chantypigna2228]

This is a fuckin good song.

[@sisterdiggins]

Amazing!! They were just fucking amazing!

[@fallspeed]

No, it's after the bad spot on the tape, when she sings "Now's the time for our desire"

[@amberfwn]

@charmedpikis92, Jackie stated she was a bit surprise that Cherie named her book after that song because she didn't like to sing it. I have no doubt Cherie let Kim know but you how Kim was. Not only that but when you're on the road sining it almost daily, your voice gets hoarse and then after that, it goes out. Jackie had written that when the arrived in Chicago, both Joan and Cherie had lost their voice and that gig had to be cancelled.

[@GDchick13]

why couldn't i've been a teen in the 70's? i would probably kill for that opportunity.

[@EmmaRevenge1124]

Go Lita and Joan!

[@HowardFair]

Damn, nice guitar... this could be a deep purple song in pretty much every way... so much better than a lot of the songs they are better known for. And sandy has the arms for it!

[@heyjudette]

@Peskygee1 agreed! i know a fewww fans who are eh about the movie and who played the band and all that, and while i'm not a huge fan of the characters, i hope the movie brings the runaways to some people who hadn't heard them before! especially the young kids.

[@lacherrybomb]

woooohooooooo !

[@raphaelspalding]

damn.. lita ford is so cool!

[@shrotcake]

God...I love this song and the runaways to death.

[@amberfwn]

@charmedpikis92, No, unfortunately not. I remember when they came to my city. On their first tour the first city was Cleveland and the newspaper had an article about them, I still remember reading about it and it had a large photo of them wondering who these ladies were. So when did you first hear about The Runaways?

[@MeiglanL]

@KatyPInKLeMoN Actually Jackie said that herself in the documentary about the runaways called Edge play.

[@trylonperisphere]

What do you all think of this girl for the Lita Ford role: Desiree' Bassett is the name to search for here on youtube.

[@JCStorm76]

Good too somebody else with some good sense

[@BWLProductions]

Can someone PLEASE teach me or tab the lick Lita does as 2:11 😩

[@fazehead]

When Rock Ruled!!!

[@Peskygee1]

@heyjudette It is my greatest hope that the movie will introduce a new audience to the Runaways music. I still haven't seen the movie. I just cringe at the thought of it. Out of the old Runaways fans of talked to, my avoidance seems justified. It amazes me now, just how good they really were. A lot of the music I listened to as a teenybopper just doesn't measure up to my listening standards today. The Runaways (especially the Queens of Noise album) sound great!

[@ZombieVisionSV]

They were hot!

[@amberfwn]

@HyperactiveIdiot84 If he did it was much later because he didn't accompany them on their Japanese tour.

[@Zatanna22]

@ChelseeCurrie me too! she is my new hero!

[@kemeralday]

i dont need techno whatever music..give me back my ROCK N' ROLL music!

[@greedyeady]

I would like to know if the actual music of The Runaways will be in the movie. If done nicely that would be kick ass. For the documentary made by Vicki Blue the last bass player of the band it didn't contain any of the music written from Joan Jett. I thought I heard Joan is producing this movie.... if so I hope all their tunes will be in it. They could almost make a Rock Opera!!~ Okay getting wayyy to ahead of myself here.

[@steeloverkill]

Holy shit i love this band.. too bad they broke up

[@elijah_1106]

In the movie, Jacki Fox doesnt want to use her name in the movie. That's why it's Robin Robins
