one of the reasons why Joan chose not to participate in the edgeplay documentary, was her fear of mudslinging, and reopening up old beefs, Joan is extremely proud of the runaways, and what they accomplished, digging up old wounds, and hurling insults, was of nointerest to her. now that Joan's in the R&R hall of fame, let's get the runaways in!
There’s guys I played music with that were crappy people but amazing musicians. I have no problem signing their musical praises, even if I have no intention of ever talking to them again.
Smile 4DFlash right on! She was always my favorite of the runaways. She loved the band more than anyone and you would be hard pressed to find a more powerful drummer
Lita was the opening act briefly on the Steve Winwood High-Life Tour. I was on the Winwood crew and they were good to work with and Lita was excellent.
ann and nancy heart, doro, lita ford, joan jett , darby mills, lee aaron , holly woods.........there is a MASSIVE list of killer female lead singers,here is just a few.ive played rock and metal guitar for 3-4 decades and always loved the women in rock and the talent and different perspective they brought to rock and metal...3 of my old bands had female singers
Lita has been a huge influence to me musically and more, and Joan's writing style has shaped my song structure and progression. Screw anyone that reckons gender matters.
It would be so great to see a runaways reunion. Now that Lita and Charrie are on good terms. Time to start talking to Joan and Vicki about it. What do they have to lose? It would be one of the best reunions ever. Do it for Sandy. R.I.P. Sandy West.
It looks like Lita has changed a great deal. She doesn't seem to be the 'piss and vinager' she was in her younger years. I think loosing her kids to ex husband seems to have mellowed her out, grown up, so to speak. Her book is coming out soon, so we'll see what she has to say. But, I'm still a fan.
I discovered The Runaways when I was like 15 a couple of years ago and I remember feeling completely inspired by their talent and their attitude, I wanted to be like them! :D. Nobody gave them enough credit back in the 70s and I think they didn't realize the impact they had in that time. They are LEGENDS
I love those ladies. Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Stevie Nicks, Ann and Nancy Wilson, Madonna and there are getting to be more and more women in music. I'm a widower. I watch lots of videos, and especially when there are closeups of the guitarist's fingers on the strings. I just recently started playing and people like Joan Jett and Lita Ford are just amazing. It's just cool trying to play, but if I could do as well as they do, I'd be a happy man. They have the coolest jobs in the world and they're good at it.
Oh gosh. Just ask Jim McAllister there. I started learning electric guitar when I was on morphine in May, 2008. Since getting out of the ICU in July, 2015, I play more Blues. I had to regain the use of my left hand and so I did more slides and it's kind of stuck. Now I can use more finger slides, hammer-on's, pull-off's, bend styles and I love the sustain. The song to learn for this week is Lynyrd Skynyrd's, The Battle of Curtis Loew, for a jam session on Friday night at my home where I live near Fort Leonard Wood in the Ozarks. The musicians who show up are sometimes old pros and sometimes raw beginners. We watch some music videos of various artists, start playing along with something and get our own groove that can go on for an hour or so. Lita Ford plays a version of, Close My Eyes Forever, on a doublenecker with Queensryche and it's about the speed of the tempo that I can play so far. She's very impressive to my military veteran friends. Thanks for asking.
Rick, hope your recovery's going well. If you're interested in seeing some really tight slide guitar, check out Bonnie Raitt's early stuff (right before/as she was going 'mainstream'). Lady can play, man.
It had never occurred to me that women couldn't play rock. I've played in so many bands with female drummers, guitarists, bassists and vocalists that it seems odd to me that it should ever seem odd to anyone.
I’m grateful to these powerhouse women of rock for giving the world their incredible contribution to rock n roll history and for paving the way to a more enlightened future. Are we there yet? No. But we are farther along than we would have been without these iconic women of rock! Rock on ladies and don’t take shit from assclowns who are stuck living in the past.
Many thanks to Lita, Joan, and Nancy!!! Complete badass**! I love Lita's solos on "You Drive Me Wild (Live)", "Blackmail", and "I Love Playin' with Fire." Joan and her amazing, unique vocals/badas* rhythm guitar; "You Don't Know What You've Got" (B-side to "I Love Rock and Roll") was one of the first songs I learned to sing and play rhythm guitar to. And "Silver Wheels" --- omg, Nancy, --the prelude to "Crazy on You" is just totally outrageously awesome! :0)
The Runaways were and still are fucking awesome as well as Heart! Grew up loving both of them and never thought “Wow women rockers” to me it didn’t matter they just kicked ass! Joan Jett is still kicking ass to this day. I saw her at Jones beach like two years ago and she destroyed!
The fact that most comments on here are about these women looking "older" than their age shows that sexism is alive and well. Have you seen Ac/dc, Tom Petty, Lemmy, Plant, Page, The Stones, etc? Do they look younger than their actual ages? Of course not. People praise their music not whether they look young or not.
Irene A. - Preach! I refer the haters to Exhibit A: Keith Richards. People who don't die young get old. There's no outrunning nature. Doesn't diminish your talent or worth.
Irene A. I think they're all (Lita, Joan, and Nancy) still lookin' GREAT... but then, I'm no spring chicken myself. I've had a puppy-eyes crush on Nancy Wilson since I was about 13, lol.
"sexism is alive and well" you joking right? XD they said in the video -> "they traded in sexuality instead of quality" this still happens today, just look at Nicki Minaj shaking and twerking that fake huge ass, kardashians, miley cyrus etc... no music talent or quality just sex, almost naked, sex tapes, etc... people just don't evolve at all
i grew up on all genres and i always appreciated both the runaways, and heart. the deal with rock, is that there is sex appeal. but these women were better than just good looking. they were also great musicians, and innovators. they have influenced how i play, and tempered my tastes for sound in a wide range. from the rawness of the runaways' grinding rhythm chops and dirty solos, to the classical and flamenco styles riffs and leads of nancy wilson. they were right beside the big boys all the time, in my book.
I'm a little late to this video but just in case someone is still watching this. Don't forget about Sandy. Especially you Joan. If she wasn't the most powerful drummer ever, then she was certainly the most powerful female drummer. And I dare say, loved the band the most.
I seen you at AstroWorld in Houston Texas in 1986 whata fuggin show!!!! You rocked rocked ROCKED! My friends and girlfriends were permanently impressed you gave off a vibe like no other female I’ve ever seen
Well as a little boy all I knew was that “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll” was the greatest song I’d ever heard and I told my Mum I was going to Marry Joan Jett and Mum bought me her album next birthday. I remember on the school bus and in the school yard singing that chorus with 3 or 4 others at a time. Still love that album. Still love Joan. (Still love me Mum🤓)
Love that Heart took the flack about "girls can't rock!" and turned it around and wrote one of greatest songs out there, never knew that but it's awesome. Listening to this in the 80s, I don't recall anyone thinking about "girls shouldn't be there", we recognized great music :) But I see that The Runaways paved the way - check out the Netflix (?) film about the bands early years.
Joan Jett is the baddest (in a good way) female rocker and needs to take some of these modern pop girls under her wing and teach them real rock and roll.
Runways are the those girls that have a voice , out look and drive in life that someone like me can relate too.... Talented, innovative and the most underrated female band of its time......❤️✌️
Like WHO??? Where are all the female rock bands that should have followed in the footsteps of the Runaways??? The Bangles and Go Gos don't quite fit the bill.
I guess most of the women still prefer pop music instead of rock and also they might think that playing guitars and drums is not a "girly" thing. I'm, of course, against this way of thinking and hope that someday I will influence many girls to become rockers :)
I'm a big fan of all of these ladies and their work. Ladies - thank you for persevering, for hitting the curve balls, for turning lemons into citrus cocktails, for being strong, staying strong, and coming out on top. The world of music is better for it.
I’m a 50 year old man the first punk I ever heard was the Ramones Misfits the Cramps Sex Pistols and then I heard this band called the Runaways and HOLLY FUCKING SHIT they were fucking ruthless and I was hooked these chicks can rock long live THE RUNAWAYS
I always thought all the ladies of rock should of been part-time models...Benatar, Wilson Sisters, Jett...Ford..etc. I mean, they were all glamorous looking in magazines, during the 1980s.💕 Tony 58-year-old Air Force VET 🇺🇸
That is very high praise from Joan Jett on Lita Ford, they hate eachother , as most lead Gituarists and 2nd Gituarists do , but for her to say Lita can rip a riff is amazing, and Lita was 16 when she did the early stuff ! Truly talented, gituar player. You watch her live , she just lays it out with style , all her later solo stuff she plays all the Gituar but in the vids you see others because record companies thought no one would believe she played it all ! Lita Ford a legend !
The last time I saw Ann was at the US Festival back about 1982. She had really let herself go, she was struggling to get out of a port-a-potty backstage. I think the industry viewed her as a marketable commodity that had become less marketable. The industry thinks like that. I spent 26 years in the touring music business, I saw record companies tell really good bands they were too old for the record company to invest in them. Heart was the first big band to tour in winter,1983, up until that tour, normal tours booked from March to sometime before Christmas and shut down for winter. Prince's Purple Rain Tour was the first 12 truck tour to go out in winter, starting and rehearsing in Minnesota.
Long island NY mid 1970's The Calderone in Hempstead Got tickets for the Runaways Opening for The Ramones Hated the Ramones,, after The Runaways opened,, after their set we got up & split Now that's a testament to the Runaways
I had to hide this album from my Mom! I loved it. Cranked it when she was gone. The industry was so damn hard on women back then...And chicks and dudes BOTH wanted to hear it!
As a teenager in the 70’s I loved Heart and The Runaways. I never thought that there shouldn’t be women in rock music. They rocked, and I wondered why weren’t there more female rockers? I wonder the same thing today. The Wilson sisters are still rocking, as well as Joan Jett and Lita Ford, but there aren’t many others out there, except for maybe Lizzy Hale. The best all female band I know of today is Band-Maid from Japan, but they haven’t “broke” yet in America. It’s about time for another American, all-female rock band hit the scene and make it big
Still in 2020..... I listen to em. All of them! I am sad they cancelled Joan Jett this year but hell yes I love the Runaways, Joan Jett, Lita Ford, fucking amazing
After the invention and perfecting of pitch correction devices, the marketability of quality vocals decreased. If the management company decides one quality singer and two sexy ladies who can be eye candy and sing thru pitch correction devices is more profitable for a tour, that's what will happen in most cases. My singing voice frightens small children and birds but I sound great with pitch correction, maybe next, they can invent a pitch correction device for Major League Baseball?
That irritates me to hear about the female artists getting treated like that.The runaways were very talented and it is so gross that the men think that they are superior than women when it comes to rock music is just stupid. that still goes on today though too which sucks, look at the group The Donnas im sure they were influenced by Heart or the runaways and i bet they got treated crappy at times like those bands did as well. record companies would rather see a female artist look pretty and slink sexily across a stage and be girly than see a female with real musicianship playing instruments and rocking out.
Shocked, and I know that shouldn't be, but shocked just the same that someone from their label would start a lesbian rumour between two sisters - boggle the fuckin' mind.
It was the 70's, when 2 girls was a big male fantasy. It still is, but it's been 40 years. Back then there wasn't even video or porn or anything. So it seemed like a big scandal.
Uh...hello? There was a LOT of porn in the 70's! But the idea of "sisters" as lovers never really that big a fantasy (unless you're from Alabama...or possibly Germany - the Alabama of Europe).
The record company (Mushroom) put out magazine ads that said, "It was only our first time." If you google Dreamboat Annie ads, it's the first one in images.
I never understood why only guys could rock. Girls are just as good if not better. Joan Jett. Lita Ford. Heart were amazing performer's. Still are.who cares about the critics.
There was a time when Joan and Lita had not spoken to each other for years, so it was refreshing to see Joan being so complimentary toward Lita here.
one of the reasons why Joan chose not to participate in the edgeplay documentary, was her fear of mudslinging, and reopening up old beefs, Joan is extremely proud of the runaways, and what they accomplished, digging up old wounds, and hurling insults, was of nointerest to her. now that Joan's in the R&R hall of fame, let's get the runaways in!
emma duncan hearing that😀, they are both legends and hoppefully will always be remembered
Why?
If u close your eyes...Joan sounds like cher wen she talks
There’s guys I played music with that were crappy people but amazing musicians. I have no problem signing their musical praises, even if I have no intention of ever talking to them again.
02:17 RIP Sandy West Joan's co founder and drummer of The Runaways.
Smile 4DFlash right on! She was always my favorite of the runaways. She loved the band more than anyone and you would be hard pressed to find a more powerful drummer
Lita rocked that guitar!! Such an amazing player. She remains one of the top female rockers of all time. Love her
Lita was the opening act briefly on the Steve Winwood High-Life Tour. I was on the Winwood crew and they were good to work with and Lita was excellent.
I just saw Lita play last night , it was amazing. She still shreds that guitar.
Its bands like this who deserve to be in the rock HOF. Pioneers against the odds.
Ann Wilson- still the best pipes in rock'n roll.
llazyiest not even closer
I'll drink to that.
She teks it up both pipes. (STRUTTER)
Better than Stevie??
Ann Wilson is a great singer. I love her but I still prefer Joan Jett and The Runaways.
I love Joan. I love her guitar. I love her style. I love her everything. I love Joan's talking.
ann and nancy heart, doro, lita ford, joan jett , darby mills, lee aaron , holly woods.........there is a MASSIVE list of killer female lead singers,here is just a few.ive played rock and metal guitar for 3-4 decades and always loved the women in rock and the talent and different perspective they brought to rock and metal...3 of my old bands had female singers
They also seem to age better than the male hard rockers which is odd considering women age quicker than males.
Lita has been a huge influence to me musically and more, and Joan's writing style has shaped my song structure and progression. Screw anyone that reckons gender matters.
it was nice to hear JJ compliment Lita's guitar playing (of course it's true, Lita's a great player). i never hear joan talk about lita.
Didn't she compliment Lita in this video?
It would be so great to see a runaways reunion. Now that Lita and Charrie are on good terms. Time to start talking to Joan and Vicki about it. What do they have to lose? It would be one of the best reunions ever. Do it for Sandy. R.I.P. Sandy West.
It would be really hard to get Joan and Lita in one room without both of them going ballistic on each other. There is no love lost between them
It looks like Lita has changed a great deal. She doesn't seem to be the 'piss and vinager' she was in her younger years. I think loosing her kids to ex husband seems to have mellowed her out, grown up, so to speak. Her book is coming out soon, so we'll see what she has to say. But, I'm still a fan.

I remember when Joan was on an episode of the Highlander TV series. She played one of the oldest Immortals to ever appear on the show.

Look what was done to Ann Wilson when she got a little bigger the industry turned on her even more
The last time I saw Ann was at the US Festival back about 1982. She had really let herself go, she was struggling to get out of a port-a-potty backstage. I think the industry viewed her as a marketable commodity that had become less marketable. The industry thinks like that.

Still in 2020..... I listen to em. All of them! I am sad they cancelled Joan Jett this year but hell yes I love the Runaways, Joan Jett, Lita Ford, fucking amazing
Altho I would note she is lacking in people skills, Crissie Hynde is worth remembering.
Joan Jett I wish we were the same age.
Rock N Roll is about people and things that kick ass. Last time I checked, women did both!
A classic band.
girl bands rule
LOVE YOU!
Awesome...you go girls!!!
The Runaways are rockers legends...
The public hatred came from ignorance and envy😉
yeah and then Later those Dummies hated each other & they Never reformed IF they were smart they would have done a Reunion.
@@MetalHeart8787 how many bands over the years broke up, hated each other, and refuse reunions?
That pretty much sums up every beef from the beginning of time.
3:30 "trading on sexuality instead of quality". Sad, because they are doing that today, more then they were back then.
After the invention and perfecting of pitch correction devices, the marketability of quality vocals decreased. If the management company decides one quality singer and two sexy ladies who can be eye candy and sing thru pitch correction devices is more profitable for a tour, that's what will happen in most cases. My singing voice frightens small children and birds but I sound great with pitch correction, maybe next, they can invent a pitch correction device for Major League Baseball?
Love Joan, Love Lita. Sometimes when I'm deciding which bike rallies to do, if Joan Jett and the Blackhearts are on the bill, decision made
AWESOME!!!!!
Barracuda riff givin meh g0osebumps
so awesome!
would bed cool to see not only the runaways do a new cd but then go on tour with Heart and Doro Pesch
I saw Runaways in Stockholm 1977!

That irritates me to hear about the female artists getting treated like that.The runaways were very talented and it is so gross that the men think that they are superior than women when it comes to rock music is just stupid. that still goes on today though too which sucks, look at the group The Donnas im sure they were influenced by Heart or the runaways and i bet they got treated crappy at times like those bands did as well. record companies would rather see a female artist look pretty and slink sexily across a stage and be girly than see a female with real musicianship playing instruments and rocking out.

Shocked, and I know that shouldn't be, but shocked just the same that someone from their label would start a lesbian rumour between two sisters - boggle the fuckin' mind.
It was the 70's, when 2 girls was a big male fantasy. It still is, but it's been 40 years. Back then there wasn't even video or porn or anything. So it seemed like a big scandal.
Uh...hello? There was a LOT of porn in the 70's! But the idea of "sisters" as lovers never really that big a fantasy (unless you're from Alabama...or possibly Germany - the Alabama of Europe).
The record company (Mushroom) put out magazine ads that said, "It was only our first time." If you google Dreamboat Annie ads, it's the first one in images.
FUCK YEAH MUSHROOM RECORDS!
I never understood why only guys could rock. Girls are just as good if not better. Joan Jett. Lita Ford. Heart were amazing performer's. Still are.who cares about the critics.
You ladies fucking ROCK!!***
