WHO DOESN'T?..| Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - I Love Rock N Roll REACTION

[@stt5v2002]

“She’s fierce.“ Yeah you should’ve experienced this with us in the 80s. This type of persona was a new concept for a female artist, and we were blown away. Pretty awesome.

[@theodoreritola9758]

Thanks to the 70s

[@michaelasay6140]

[@janes.1559]

Not all the fans from the 70s who saw the Runaways! We knew....there were legions of us who watched happy days for leather tescadero and worshipped Suzi Quattro, to a lesser extent, Wendy O Williams. But we knew joan from her teen years. We watched every crappy movie cherie curry did, hell, we supported the bangles because of micki steele. Go gos were still punk at this time, it was a good time to be a rebellious chick.

"I hate myself for Loving You" is a kicker. She has an amazing back catalogue.

Fake Friends is one of my fav's.

That's my favorite song

[@francesmario7717]

Joan Jett is one bad ass rocker…one of the original women rockers!!!!

[@God-ck5yo]

Joan is an absolute rock icon. I saw her about 6 years ago and she still kicked ass! I guess you can imagine how this song went down when she played it to a stadium full of 50,000 rock fans. Heart played on that day too - and Ann and Nancy killed it too!

[@deanarjones9114]

Bet that was a great show

[@roberthaines1227]

I saw that tour at SPAC in Saratoga NY. Cheap Trick was on the bill too. Great show. Joan killed it.

[@michaelasay6140]

I saw her 40 yrs ago!!!

This song and “Do you wanna touch me” and “You drive me wild” are a few of my favs by Joan Jett! Love her! Such energy!

[@CandleLight1974]

RIP Alan Merrill (19 February 1951 - 29 March 2020), the writer and composer of this song that has been covered and sampled by so many over the decades. Check out his original with his band, The Arrows.

[@paulsheedy4650]

I've belted this out at so many parties. Wide stance, hair flying and playing air guitar. An absolute RnR classic.😁❤️🎶👍

[@Jillyconjem]

I can’t hear this without hearing Weird Al with “I Love Rocky Road” (as in Rocky Road ice cream). When Al does a parody, it tends to stay with you. 😂 But yes, Joan Jett is awesome. 💜

[@jehosephine]

Oh, yeah! Weird Al!

[@paulliversidge7140]

Weird Al Yankovic...LEGEND!! You really should react to some of his parody songs 🤣🤣

so glad i haven’t heard that…i don’t want to think about him…you’re right once an AY version is heard you can’t unhear it 🤣

[@melaniebrown4660]

Weird Al has ruined sooo many songs for me but in a good way 🤣🤣

[@sarablack2547]

As others have commented you need to check out Suzie quatro she was the first female rocker and had to make it in a man's genre of music.she is in her 70's now and still gigs and has a new album out.joan Jett said she was a direct influence on her.if you look at Joan's outfit and hair it's basically the same as Suzie's but red.

[@michaelasay6140]

Saw her 40 yrs ago!

[@traceyneuville6834]

Suzi Q is fantastic - I grew up listening to this fab stuff. Rock is still my favourite !!

[@TheSchuyler75]

as a little girl seeing women rockers was awesome…definitely sang along into the hairbrush jumping on the furniture etc🤘🏻

[@surlechapeau]

Joan Jett got her look from Suzi Quatro. Suzi was one of the first female rockers to sing, front a band AND play an instrument (bass). Try Suzi's "If You Can't Give Me Love" or "Can The Can"

[@Angelfish757]

And Devil Gate Drive too

Joan Jett started out as part of the five woman line up The Runaways with Lita Ford in 1976 when she was just 18. Check out their song I Love Playing With Fire to hear Joan cranking out some attitude and lead vocals.

This is the 1st time I have seen this video but I have definitely heard this song everywhere... mostly the chorus. Her vocals are super commanding.

I like how the bar is already playing her music before she even walks in.

[@grogu3367]

I had a boyfriend in high school who was obsessed with Joan Jett! To make him happy I got my hair cut like hers, lol. I remember doing a photo session with him and his Polaroid in my new Joan Jett hairdo 🤣

This was the biggest song of 1982 don't let anyone tell you differently. This song was played literally everywhere you couldn't escape it even if you tried.

[@BillGraper]

This was THE SONG when it was out in 1982. It's all we wanted to hear. It was a huge #1 smash. It's NOT an original, believe it or not. Like a lot of bands, their biggest hit was a cover of someone else's song. :)

[@theodoreritola9758]

It came out in 1974 ,,ARROW a male band Wrote This song Its is a 70s cover

[@claucara-joanjettfan3984]

She said it in the interviews

[@bobschenkel7921]

The end of the song "Bad Reputation" opens the video, the first song Joan Jett and The Blackhearts released, and that song really laid out Joan's philosophy. She was going to be herself, and everyone else just get out of the way. With a few expletives thrown in. Got to experience Joan Jett from about two feet away in a club in Boston one night. So much energy and pure presence, you gotta love what she brings. And by the way, she really does love rock and roll. She proves it every time she takes the stage.

[@niklasnestorsson]

This is actually a cover. The original version was released in 1975 by The Arrows. I love both versions

Jay…this song was a cultural phenomena in the early 80’s.

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

I remember my youngest brother and his mates head banging to this and my darling Mum joining in lol. Mum used to put on a gig for them all once every couple of months it was mostly Status Quo as that was their favourite group but other rock and roll songs that would get them staying in the dancefloor. They still remember the fun of those nights and Mum dancing along with them, and my little son who was about 2years old dancing along with them. You brought some wonderful memories back to me thank you sweetheart. Take care and stay safe please everyone God bless you all love hugs and peace to you all Mary-Ellen UK

[@kbusby4824]

She still is badass. More Joan Jett please!! She has done some phenomenal covers. This is one (original by The Arrows). Other great covers include: Crimson and Clover (Tommy James and the Shondells), Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (AC/DC), Love Hurts (The Everly Brothers, famously covered by Nazareth), Season of the Witch (Donovan). I would also recommend the songs Do You Want to Touch Me, I Hate Myself for Loving You, Bad Reputation (you hear it at the beginning of this video), and Little Liar. Further back is her work in The Runaways.

[@darcibeckford6848]

Like many teen girls when this came out, I loved singing along with this and pretending that I bad-ass and fierce (some alternate universe, because I was anything but!). It was one of the earlier songs in my life that I recall feeling a sense that a girl could be powerful - not that it was the first ever, but the first I connected to.

The first song played at my prom. Our DJs had recently gone from a pop station to a country station, so I was nervous that it was going to be a 2-step kind of night. No worries--they remembered themselves.

[@TaniaJennings]

This is one of my all-time favourite songs. It came out right in my formative years and I've crushed on Joan Jett pretty much my whole life. Her song ACDC is just as hard and kicking as anything she made 30 years ago. She's an absolute icon! Be sure to check out her first band, the Runaways and especially their song Cherry Bomb (the first true 'girl band' anthem, though the Runaways were hardly 'girls', they were hardcore artists!)

[@brigitter1469]

Love Joan Jett. When my bro was in Afghanistan back at the beginning of the war and she went there to entertain the troops. She is bada$$!,,,

Joan was cast perfectly as Michael J. Fox's rebellious sister in the underrated 1987 film "Light of Day". She did an amazing job.

[@dazzanomas9418]

The KZbinrs Ladbaby last year took this back to number 1 of the UK Christmas charts, they changed the lyrics to "I love Sausage Rolls". They did it for charity and it was a great fun cover of it, well worth checking out for a giggle.

[@beakermeepmeep]

Believe it or not, this Blackhearts version in 1981 is Joan Jett's second remake of the song, which was first released by British glam rockers Arrows in 1975. Her first remake was with Steve Jones & Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols, after both their old bands broke up. The latter version sounded more like a guide track, embracing a more muscular sound (& with British backing vocals!), & was released as a B-side single in 1979.
