The Runaways - Secrets

[@fallspeed]

I love the end, where Lita picks up a fan (thrown by an audience member?), stops to fan herself with it, then runs offstage. Let's thank the Japanese for properly documenting the band, which they never got back home!

[@carrerephilippe]

Time I like to get back, Cherie wonderful scenery

[@YZEtc]

Another simple, very catchy song with electric guitars - my favorite kind of rock music. :) The third verse is not on the studio album, and I haven't read it on any lyrics websites. Anybody know the words to it? :)

[@Hacker73]

the best singer : Cherie Currie the best solo guitar player : Lita Ford the best bassist : Jackie Fox the best drummer : Sandy West and the best guitar player : Joan Jett THEY ARE THE RUNAWAYS AND WE LOVE THEM !!! vallinera100

[@Hacker73]

I just have to say LOVE JACKIE'S BASS in this ... totally carries the whole song and every accent to cherries dancing x))... BEST BAND EVER !!!

[@Hacker73]

With all of the immense talent in this group, Jackie seems to get overlooked. You can hear her bass rolling all over this tune. A great song!!!

[@Hacker73]

Sandy's smile is the most beautiful thing in the world....

[@Hacker73]

The Runaways was the first all-girl rock band that truly kicked ass. They went against all rules and did their own thing. Joan Jett, Cherie Currie, Sandy West, Lita Ford, Jackie Fox... The true role models for women of this century!

[@angiegordin1018]

Gorgeous Lita Lita Lita!!!! Guitar Genius!

[@kurtsherrick2066]

Finally a camera man that showed the beautiful Jackie. What a Rock Chick! She was a great base player as she shows in this performance. Her voice is great. She added so much to the band and she really hasn't got credit she deserves. I lived in the Bible Belt and my state didn't let them play because of I guess they didn't think teenage girls should dress the way they did on stage at times. I would have been the first to buy a ticket on the Front Row.

[@Hacker73]

Jackie Fox is the Best Runaway --- the most human, fragile, vulnerable and lovely. Ah, Jackie... you're sooooooooo sweet... delicious! The prettiest. The nicest. The most talented. The most human. I love you, Jackie. My Goddess.

[@jimmytuesday4760]

this is so beautiful. this video takes me somewhere far away. i love these girls.🌪👻

[@sweetlittlerocknroller1193]

I love Cheries deep, hot, voice. You could tell its her, from a mile away :)

[@Hacker73]

Sandy's drumming, Jackie's AWESOME bass line and the way she totally compliments Sandy's playing, Lita's badass solo, Joan's grungy tune and Cherie's random dancing----> EPIC coolness. Sandy putting casually the mike back in place, Joan and Cherie and Cherie in the end, looooool. They seem to be having a blast and that's exactly what playing music is all about imho. Great performance, through and through!

[@beccalares]

I've always known of Joan but I found out about this band last year- which is SO sad- i've been missing out, guys. Now the movie will come out too- Joan and Cherrie are still amazing today

[@Hacker73]

DAMNN! Listen to that bass! Amazing Jackie!!

[@coffeedrinker13]

love everything they do !! just got done listening to their greatest hits cd, very loud !! i needed that !! they rock !

[@Hacker73]

THAT'S A RUNAWAYS MASTERPIECE!... It always makes me cry in melancoly and beauty... Lyrics, music, melody... everything is perfect, as usual in that divine band, but this time, better than ever. Jackie's bass leads the music, giving unity by harmony. Lita and Joan fight in a duel of guitars. Sandy keep the "heartbeat" on her drums beating. And tragic Cherie explodes in passion, telling the stars drama. The girls were specially inspired.

[@Hacker73]

Sandy sempre foi a mais linda das Runaways; a mais angelical, doce e amável. Mas acima de tudo é a melhor baterista do mundo, com domínio absoluto. Além de multi-instrumentista e cantora extraordinária, com a voz rasgante e apaixonada que desce ás profundezas mais abissais do melhor rock n roll: intensa, despretensiosa e vibrante. Sem qualquer vaidade ou ambição, exceto a de tocar com força e vontade de tocar os corações. Ela é pura energia, inteiramente dedicada ao som básico pauleira.

[@Nellynellz6]

When they start singing do they mute the ppl or they must hav some respect! lol

[@TheStarzzguitar]

Great bass lines on this whoa

[@Tashwampa]

I've never seen Chereie wear so many clothes on stage...I love her for it though!!! Love the Runaways!! They are AMAZING♥♥♥♥♥XD XD XD XD XD

[@vincenzoridente9994]

There will never ever be a female band as hot as The Runaways

[@joaniejett7189]

The best band ever to grace us loyal fans from soo long ago!

[@TheJanet4321]

I CANNOT BELIEVE how talented they were for their age.

[@SaoirseK]

Cherie Currie has such an amazing stage presence :)

[@Hacker73]

One of the greatest "frontmen" of all time. A teenage girl

[@kurtsherrick2066]

Jackie is killing that Bass! And this video shoes just how Foxy miss Fuchs was.

[@KitanasGrrl]

Lita is amazing :')

[@scottjinx]

Go Jackie she iz playing some great bass here, nice bass guitar too, unfortunately this iz the guitar that got broke & caused all the drama :( great clip thanx 4 the post :)

[@TheJanet4321]

I am their age and never heard of them at the time - can't believe it. Wish I'd know about them back then.

[@ArethaLilith]

Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! I like see Cherie screaming!!! Uhuuullll!!! I love her and Joan!

[@Hacker73]

Baby, Jackie Fox was ON FIRE! Do you hear that groovy bass line?

[@YZEtc]

Thanks, fallspeed. That's a start. :) Rwinglesx, the blonde singer is Cherie Currie.

[@johnc5905]

Wow _!!!!!!

[@fallspeed]

@YZEtc Listening to the same live version on 'Flaming Schoolgirls', the second half goes "Breaks my heart, we're so far apart - Cause we're living a double life" - I can't understand the first half though.

[@catherinecook2046]

we talk in rhyem in our spare time

[@stevengittins2709]

How cool can you get.Great stuff here.

[@fallspeed]

Yeah, Jackie looks great in those shorts. I want a high-quality DVD of this, dammit!

[@xashleyxalbersx]

what a great song... and what a hot band

[@Thrillkill74]

ty ty ty ty for the live cuts!

[@Hacker73]

It' always refreshing how 'lost' songs like that can sound brightest and funniest than today's 'work songs' or 'big hits'. That's one more proof about how 70's RAW rock is SUPERIOR. And yeah, you get it: that's why I DON'T HEAR ANY NEW MUSIC since 1994. Fuck off all the new rock. I had enough. I have the best: I have The Runaways.

[@Hacker73]

The Runaways kicked wide open the gates for generations of all-girls rock n roll bands; but the most impressive is how radical they are in fit all the needs: they are the FIRST, the BEST, the BIGGER, the YOUNGER, the most BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS, CUTTEST and the most TRAGIC. This finished any discussions. Perfect. A band made by God!

[@skylr27]

Cherie was beautiful back then but now she is simply gorgeous. She has really aged well!

[@amberfwn]

Joan and Jackie rocks it!!

[@angiegordin1018]

Jackie thumbs up , but *uck Joan!

[@MytravelNpov]

I am now obsessed with this band I LOE THEM. I wish I was born a 70s kid like the runaways but now music is ruined by the likes of justin bieber and all those crapy people THE RUNAWAYS FOREVER

[@ellebarbie00]

no wonder my mom dances like this!!!! hahahaha she used to loovee the runaways!

[@michellegarciasocial92]

es una muy buena banda, que duro poco, pero tuvo gran exito

[@Hacker73]

The Runaways made the Most Complete Rock n Roll Song EVER: "American Nights" is THE definitive Classical Rock n Roll Theme, even more than "Jail House Rock", "Whole Lotta Shaking Going On", "Satisfaction", "Anarchy in the UK" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit". The Runaways --- Best Band Ever!

[@amberfwn]

I love how Lita runs off stage at the end.

[@angiegordin1018]

Beautiful woman, Lita badass guitar Wizzard!

[@pammyla66]

back when bands had real talent

[@pentagrammes]

pammyla66 LOL

[@Nellynellz6]

I love what Jackie does at 2:09

[@aiina93]

I'm just "inloved" with this fuckin band!!!! Can't stop listenin them since I was 15 and saw "School days" video, man!! looooovee The Runaways I wish I was now my dad's age ):

[@animaniaco]

Joan Jett = HOT! Lita ford in the end = HOTTER!!!

[@Hacker73]

Totally! Her and that Mockingbird bass. That girl is one seriously banging bass player. It's really too bad that someone did not see her talent and channel it better than Fowley (IMO). I have seen some great bass players over the years and I don't know that I have seen that many as good as her. She was too good......

[@Hacker73]

Jackie Fox = Suzi Quatro + Gene Simmons + Steve Harris + Glen Matlock + Paul Simonon + Dave Alexander + Robério Santana + Jennifer Finch. THE BASS GUITAR GODDESS! Period.

[@Hacker73]

They kick ass. They weren't just damn hot, they had one of the best drummers EVER, some of the best composers, one of the best solists, and a great performance! Nothing's gonna reach them anytime soon!

[@runawaysgurl1]

You can really hear the fans get excited here.

[@Nellynellz6]

@cuteNADA1992 actualy no im wront it was cherie,sandy,kim,and kari who wrote it

[@skipp10467]

@caitibaby1 I read her autobiography two and Cherie waxes poetic about how Joan was her bes tfriend, confidant and someone she was sexually attracted to. Moments with Joan, according to her, were "the most satisfying in her young life". She also stated in an interview that she and joan had a sexual relationship, but it wasn't love or anything.

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

GREAT basslines, damn.

[@YZEtc]

Love the three cord middle riff at 2:16. Very simple and very catchy. I also love the closeup of Jackie at 2:08. Go ahead and hurt me. :) Still trying to understand the first line of the third verse. Sounds like "something-something-something in our spare time".

[@ThomasTERichmond]

Have a great Day!!

[@vmposaya15]

great! bass! :D

[@Guitarzzzzzzz173]

I agree with you. Most of these live videos focus on Cherie. n Certainly nothing against her, but they could have given the other girls (especially Sandy) a little more camera time.

[@caitibaby1]

@cuteNADA1992 if you read Cherie's autobiography, she doesn't even mention a "special relationship" with Joan. She actually said in an interview that they were just experimenting. I think the Runaways movie played it up for the sake of plot...

[@midorishimiz]

@xoalex914 yeah..actually cherie is givin out all her outfits to dakota who plays the runaways movie^^...she's soo nice.!

[@MrsTodd2013]

i want to start this too!

[@saraarribas]

me too! they were fuckin' great!! The runaways forever!

[@SaoirseK]

Damn! Look at Cherie go! That child can sing! :D

[@runawaysgurl1]

Their outfits look so different in this song. I like them. Maybe because it's the finale.

[@calikidyall]

awsome

[@garygraham1383]

I so agree!!!!

[@xthatonezeldagirlx]

Once again, AGREED! :)

[@mtlsixshooter]

This is cool

[@gaby47]

she is! :) .. she always plays her fucking heart out.. thats what makes her joan jett+ the badass attitude hahah

[@xthatonezeldagirlx]

Agreed!

[@Hacker73]

Cherie Currie : the best frontperson in History.

[@fallspeed]

She does play great, though Kim Fowley didn't think so in the beginning, so he brought in Nigel Harrison to play bass on their debut album while she took more lessons.

[@nightmarekidforever]

listen to 1:50 sounds like wild thing huh

[@Nellynellz6]

@cuteNADA1992 mee!! lol cherie sandy n i think jackie wrote it so i think its probably bout everyones "secrets" ;p

[@horsesaremylife31899]

@cricketbat08 she had that scratchy voice that went just right with their music

[@Ms.Yvonne1]

@tinasprettygirl1963 wow, that's amazing. Ever since i heard "Cherry Bomb" when i was 5, I've considered myself an official Runaway. So inspirational, empowering, to me feminist (don't wanna get into it cause it will take me a while to explain my reasoning) and their just down right my idols

[@wachtingone]

@Jadeee01 I don't know if you are care I'm replying your old comment but the internet and cell phones aren't the responsible of degeneration of people. I think people started to give a damn about the materials instead of thinking about their lives, spiritual roads, emotions etc... People just closed their eyes for more materials. Many people just closed their eyes I believe. I hope one day people start to open their eyes again before smelling the ashes.

[@mtlsixshooter]

Hot fucking song

[@kratos7893]

Who's here cause of warehouse 13 lol artie is awesome lol

[@TheKatiebunny]

I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THAT BAD-A.. !

[@Hacker73]

BEST FEMALE SINGERS: Cherie Currie. Tina Turner. Johnette Napolitano. Ann Wilson. Annie Lennox. Chrissie Hynde. Suzi Quatro. Donita Sparks. Marie Friedriksson. Suzi Gardner. Cass Elliott. Grace Slick. Irene Cara. Kim Carnes. Linda Lewis. Kate Bush.

[@Hacker73]

FOX FIRE !

[@Hacker73]

@Jackie777heaven I definitively LOVE Jackie too!

[@kimkrisrich]

@kal2jes I totally agree!

[@cricketbat08]

@horsesaremylife31899 Yup, agreed! :)

[@berlinteo]

this song reminds me on Shocking Blue, it's the bassline i think...

[@MytravelNpov]

@paranormal666wiccan I mean I LOVE THEM*** stupid typo

[@Bigmaroon2008]

Lots of people did coke back then so what if they did it the musics great. plus many of the greats died from drugs back then Hendrix,Elvis, and Hank Williams(He died earlier then this period)

[@cammo6901]

I like the end of the video when, I think its lita, picks up the fan that some asian girl probly threw onstage, fans herself and runs off! hahaha

[@Creedjaya]

This reminds me of No More Mr. Nice Guy by Alice Cooper.

[@bison1203]

@suzylux If it wasn't the end of the show (i.e. waiting for the encore), then Cherie was probably going off to do a wardrobe change.

[@AvaLaveer]

@tomitstube oops sorry about that I AGREE AWESOME BAND

[@badmadison5734]

Hannah Montana anyone? Ever time I listen this to this song that’s all I think of.

[@mamitime89]

and then the next is C'mon

[@7SeasOfQ]

Not necessarily, technically speaking C'mon was most likely played before this song, it was usually always part of the encore but as we can see here in this footage, this is the encore (as they're wearing their kimonos) and they're finally leaving the stage for the second time :)
