The subtitle that mentions Cheri Currie singing backups with Joan Jett is incorrect. That's Lita Ford singing backups. Currie left the band by then. That's why Joan Jett was singing.

[@jamescontreras8066]

When I read that I knew it was wrong.

[@coonassprepper5243]

that is correct I was wondering cause i didn't see Cherrie but I don't think she was out of the band. I think she was temporarily unavailable cause she was busy getting her abortion at that time. Joan stepped up as lead vocalist in her absence and Cherrie got upset there was a lot going on behind the scenes at that time.

[@EdsterIII]

So by now your what 23? I was a little kid and wasn't into rock when I was that young. I was only 7-8 years old. The fact you became a fan so far after they became who they are, is awesome! It shows that music is timeless and can span every generation. I did like KISS as a kid, but not for the music. The fire, blood, etc. I became a fan, or learned what music affected me when I was 12-13 years old. 🎶 I got a cassette of 2 bands. Side A was Twisted Sister-Stay Hungry and Side B was Mötley Crüe-Shöut at the Devil. It wasn't until I played Side B that I really got into Metal. Mötley Crüe became my favorite band. Soon after I saw Twisted Sister at the Mecca Auditorium. They opened for Iron Maiden. Who now are my 2nd favorite band. Tied with Megadeath. The show they both did was insane! I became a Metal Head! After that concert I was so LUCKY to have been able to see Ozzy Osborne and Mötley Crüe, Dokken, Iron Maiden again, Mötley Crüe 10+more times, Ozzy again twice, Judas Priest, Metallica, Aerosmith with Guns N Roses, Scorpions, and tons more bands. Cheap Trick and Ratt was also bad ass! My point is this music is, for me anyway awesome. To hear that someone your age is jamming to music that was around before I even got into it is bad ass! Keep JAMMING! PLAY IT LOUD. Remember if it's too loud, your too old! And your hearing this from a old f**k! Well old to you.

This was their opening song when I saw them open for the Ramones in January of '78. Backstage, after the show, Sandy grabbed me by the front of my shirt and gave me a deep kiss. Seeing this, Joan grabbed the girl I met in line outside before the concert and was hanging out with and gave her quite the passionate kiss, also. Over forty years later, I'm still with that girl.

Who the hell remembers the opening song of the warm up band 40 years later? I've seen so many concerts of bands I absolutely idolize. And i couldn't remember not 1 opening song from any of them. Of course we are talking bands from back in the 80,s. Like Priest, Maiden, Metallica, G&R, Scorpions etc. And honestly I don't remember the first songs. And these were the main attractions. I can't even tell you who the warm up was!

@MusicalElitist1 : My point Is that it's hard to take a story like that and believe it. Period.

[@BadRonald1]

I love that Hamer Lita's playing

[@PreppingWithSarge]

The internet needs some more footage of Joan and Lita together. Hotter than a firecracker on the fourth of July 🔥

[@Valkonnen]

I just can't imagine a hotter image than seeing these girls rock! Lita Ford is a goddess of rock guitar.

I got to see them at a little bar in Syracuse NY in I think 1976 !

[@willbradbury2224]

1978 the first ever band I got into , I became a punk due to the runaways best fucking life of my life.

[@stephenwest673]

[@TiOZAO1966]

[@larrymarciniak4191]

[@pablozewoppa]

I love the Runaways - my favourite metal band!!! ❤

[@chipmiller4752]

Joan Jett is a female rock legend! I've always loved Joan!

[@user-ri1ro1fh2w]

Обожаю эту группу! Помню когда в 82 году я был в Москве и у спекулянтов купил винил концертного альбома "Made in Japan" как помню за 25 рублей ( большие деньги по тем временам), счастья моего небыло предела когда я приехал домой и врубил этот винил на полную мощность, соседи обалдели, долбили в дверь, стучали по батареям, а мне было похер, я слушал и балдел😎🤘🤘🤘 The Runaways это музыка на все времена.

[@johnman3272]

The bass player, Vicky Blue, later had a cameo in "Spinal Tap" as Derek Small's "girlfriend" who "just rode her first mustache". She also directed a documentary of the Runaways.

[@jeremyciccone3043]

I thought it was just me WOW! Now I'm gonna watch some tap

[@strictlynorton]

Great band. Joan Jet is touched by fire! Pure star power.

[@raindeerprojekt4119]

AWESOME!!! Happy Easter Lock Down 2020!!!

I'm the same age as Joan Jett, I started a band in 75 with four other guys which included my best friend Bobby by 1980 we had just him and me and I quit and joined the army. We went through 4 drummers, 5 guitar players, 1 singer, 2 keyboardist and 2 managers. Our biggest mistake was I could not talk them into leaving Missouri to go to either coast to play.
