Originál je tuším Gary Glitter. 😉 Což nic nemění na tom, že ona to zpívá úžasně! 👍 I think the original is Gary Glitter. 😉 Which doesn't change the fact that she sings it amazingly! 👍
I saw her in Iraq back in 2010. She still had it after all these years. Never thought I'd see my childhood rock and roll crush in body armor in the desert. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Absolutely!! We finally saw her 5 years ago outside of Houston, she and her band was opening for Heart but she was fabulous! And as much as I like Tommy James and The Shondells version, she, in my opinion took it to another level! Great concert!!
Joan is one bad rock n roll chick. She was a Runaway with Lita Ford, Jackie Fox and Cherie Currie before going solo. Shes in her 60's and still going strong.
ok I love Joan, but that is ridiculous. She is not even the lead guitarist in her own friggin band haha. Tons of names on Rolling Stone's list are ludicrous. They go for overall musical influencers over actual guitar skills. For example, they have Robert Johnson, Kurt Kobain, Johnny Ramone, and Jack White in their Top 20 and Eddie Van Halen is at 71 haha. Then they have Joni Mitchell at 73. Really? Joni Mitchell is just about as good a guitarist as Eddie Van Halen in their eyes? and Apparently she is better than David Gilmour at #82 and better than Albert King, Wes Montgomery, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson and Steve Vai who are just a handful that didn't even make their top 100. Anyway, Rolling Stone is a joke. Joan Jett is a great artist, but just an average and indistinguishable rhythm guitarist that a novice guitarist can emulate. If you want to look at an actual legitimate list of the greatest's guitarists check out Guitar World's list. A magazine that ONLY focuses on guitarists, unlike Rolling Stone.
WOW, I have not heard anyone mention Suzi Quatro in years. Just her name brings back some good memories. As for Joan, Fantastic music and a very energetic performer.
JOAN JETT is a badass, pure and simple. I saw her live once years ago. An American Classic for sure. She did really well but I think she should have had more recognition. Just right there on the line. Her and her band deserved more I think.
I saw her with the Blackhearts in concert as the opening act for Styx in the summer of 2019 & she still sounds this good! I love Joan Jett, especially “I Love Rock n Roll,”
Suzi Quatro was Joan's idol when she started. Met her and The Runaways in Dallas back in 1975. Still have the pair of Levi's they signed. Wish I could go back
Joan is an icon and badass and that's not an image...that's Joan Jett. Period. She FOUNDED Blackheart records after the Runaways got the shaft from the industry. She has produced and supported SO MUCH music over the decades. Still doing it. She is amazing. The black leather punk look was HERS FIRST. She brought it back from London in the 70's. And, yes, she rocks.
Weird Al's first parody, made in a bathroom at his college radio station was "I love Rocky Road" which was a Joan Jett riff on "I love rock and roll" in the late 1970s.
Joan Jett and The Blackhearts were rough rockers. Decades ago if I got feeling 'dissed' I'd play "Fake Friends", and it still works. Have you heard The Romantics? Try "What I Like About You" from their 1980 album The Romantics.
Finally, a couple reacted to Lita Ford last week. Kiss me deadly. I think the previous commenter is correct, Lita Ford is one that can land reactors in RUclips jail.
@@scapito There's a very popular (male) reactor out there who watched "Close My Eyes Forever' about 5mos ago and was like, "Is that Ozzy Osbourne playing guitar?" I wanted to scream, "Ozzy doesn't play an instrument, that's Lita!" Funny how some guys just don't believe a lady can play hard rock.
She doesn't smile through the whole song until it's over and then she come out of character:) (love the smile at the end :) ) True sigh of an artist :) Peace and Love from Canada eh :) hehe yeah she was a rebel punk at times but eh whatya ya gonna do :)
"I want to see you beggin', and say 'Forget It' just for spite!" Love that line. But anyone who's been in the wrong relationship for too long, or seen it happen to someone else, can totally appreciate it.
Joan Jett as part of the Runaways predates Bon Jovi by 9 years. Bon Jovi reminds me of Joan Jett. A true rocker she is. BTW, I saw her live at 49 y/o in 2004 and her body was ripped.
She made a really good movie with Michael J Fox as her brother and the bass player from Spinal Tap. It's called The Light of Day. Great movie if you ever get a chance to see it.
She's still around, Harri. Still performing and still in amazing shape. She looks way younger than she is right now. Thanks so much for doing this. Love your stuff.
Wow you got that one right I love your reaction I met Joan at the Oregon jam The outlaws were playing back in the seventies and she's only 5'1 tiny little thing 🥳🥳🥳
THANK YOU for reacting to JOAN JETT!!! She is called the “Godmother of Punk” and “Queen of Rock n Roll”, and has pioneered women in hard rock since the 70’s! She got her first guitar at 13 as a Xmas present from her parents and was musically influenced by T-Rex, Bowie, Iggy Pop & Suzi Quatro. At 15 years old she started the FIRST ALL GIRL punk/metal influenced hard rock band in 1975 (which also featured a teenage Lita Ford on lead guitar and vocalist Cherie Currie). In 1976 they debuted their first album “The Runaways” which spawned the classic song “Cherry Bomb”, which Joan Jett wrote as an audition song for vocalist Cherie Currie, alluding to her name and the fact that they were all “teenage firecrackers” (Cherie Currie, 16, wore a corset, fishnet stockings, black underwear and high heels on stage which gave them the reputation as “jailbait rock”). Although this was their most recognized song, it certainly does not define them as a band. Their album debuted the same time that Heart debuted their album “Dreamboat Annie”. Both bands had to deal with sexism and misogyny from the male dominated genre of hard rock, although Heart was backed by male band members, the Runaways got it worse being ALL teenage girls. They released “Queens of Noise” in 1977 and toured Japan where they were HUGE, they were NEVER taken seriously in America. Lead vocalist Cherie Currie quit the band during the tour making Joan the front girl of the band. After the tour they recorded what I think is their best album, “Waiting for the Night'' which Joan Jett wrote most of the songs, along with some songs written by Lita Ford. It was a punk/metal influenced album after touring in England and being exposed to the punk rock scene, later touring with the Ramones, Cheap Trick, etc. By 1978 there was heavy drug abuse and tension among the remaining 3 members of the band (Joan, Lita and drummer Sandy West) after they released their 4th and final studio album “And now, the Runaways” (which featured the song “Black Leather” written by Steve Jones and Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols). Joan Jett gravitated towards a Punk sound and both Lita and Sandy towards a more heavy metal sound. By Spring 1979 the band broke up and Joan Jett began her solo career which would last till this day. Later Lita Ford would also find mainstream success. In 1979 Joan Jett met Kenny Laguna, a producer who also became her manager. Together they set out to launch Joan’s solo career but NO ONE wanted Joan Jett. Joan recorded FIVE songs on a demo tape: “I Love Rock n Roll”, “Crimson and Clover”, “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah!), “Bad Reputation” and “You Don’t Own Me”. The demo was sent to *23* major, and minor, record labels. ALL *23* labels rejected her saying, in essence, she wasn’t marketable. Their letters said Joan “should lose the guitar” or “look prettier” and she needed a “song search”. Not giving up, Kenny Laguna took some money he had saved and both Kenny and Joan started their OWN record label, BLACKHEART Records. They recorded their first album titled “Joan Jett” in 1980 and sold their records at shows from the trunk of their car. Eventually they were signed on to Boardwalk Records and they re-released the album as “Bad Reputation”. Joan put an ad saying, “Wanted 3 good men” for a band and the Blackhearts were formed. While still struggling as a woman in hard rock the band recorded the album “I Love Rock n Roll”. The title track went to #1 on the Billboard chart for 8 weeks in a row!!! The next single “Crimson and Clover” went to #5 (a cover song from Tommy James and the Shondells which Kenny Laguna temporarily played keyboards with and he brought the song for Joan to sing). They re-released the songs “Bad Reputation” and “Do You Wanna Touch Me” and they became hits. The video for “Bad Reputation” was a JAB at all 23 record labels that rejected her (note that the 4 songs that were rejected were 4 hits on the Billboard charts). Joan Jett was HUGE and was touring with Queen, the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and other big bands. In 1983 she released the album called “Album” which had 2 hits “Fake Friends” and a cover of Sly and the Family Stones’ “Everyday People”. In 1986 she appeared in the movie “Light of Day” with Michael J. Fox, with her acting performance getting great reviews, and the title track song written by Bruce Springsteen. In 1988 “Up your Alley” was released and 2 songs were hits “I Hate Myself For Loving You” and “Little Liar”. In 1990 “The Hit List” was released, an album of ALL cover songs, including the covers of “Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap)” by AC/DC, “Love Hurts” by Nazareth and “Have You Ever Seen The Rain” by CCR. In the early 90’s the Grunge era came but Joan continued putting out albums and non stop touring. “Notorious” (1992) and “Pure and Simple” (1994) were released. Joan also did other TV shows and movies such as “Boogie Boy”. In 2000 she was doing “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” on Broadway playing Magenta. “Naked” CD was released in Japan (not in America) which had the song “Science Fiction, Double Feature”. In 2006 she released the “Sinner” CD which had the video for the song “ACDC”, a cover of the Sweets’ song (about bisexuality) which featured Carmen Elektra. Joan Jett also toured the Vans Warped Tour main stage that year. In 2013 she released “Unvarnished” and the song/video for “Any Weather” co written by Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl and the song “Soulmates to Strangers” co written by Trans musician Laura Jane Grace from Against Me. In 2015 Joan Jett and the Blackhearts were inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame after the previous year when Joan Jett performed “Smells Like Teen Spirit” w/ Nirvana when they were inducted. Throughout the years Joan Jett has written songs for other artists such as Alice Cooper, L7, Bikini Kill, etc. She was dubbed the leader of the “Riot Girrl” movement of the 90’s. She produced other bands and signed them to her Blackheart Records label. She is an animal activist for P.E.T.A. For years she also goes to play free shows for American troops overseas bringing them “a piece of home”. She is a singer, musician, songwriter, producer, record label owner, activist, pioneer, legend and Icon. Below will be some links to Official Videos and performances. For a more in depth account of her history check out the music documentary “Bad Reputation” RUclips, link below.

We're the same age, I'm 5 months older, when I was 17 in 1975 and being lazy, reckless and irresponsible, she was starting her first band The Runaways (1975-79) which had a moderate degree of success and released het first solo album in 1980, I was 22 and...yeah same guy. She has the sexiest eyes ever, go watch "Crimson and Clover to verify that. In 1985 she played a college by me, college kids mostly so at 27 I may have been one of the oldest ones there, the stage was low, maybe a foot high and I was no more than 5 feet away from her and I can tell you she is every bit as gorgeous live as she is here.
I saw Joan way back in 1981 in a park here on Long Island NY. She was touring her first solo album ...and I bought it out of the WLIR radio van which was parked in the lot. Still have it too! Even then , it was a kick ass show! Been a fan ever since..
She truly is mesmerizing, that is a good way to describe her effect. Those eyes and that gaze of hers, like no other. This is one of her best songs, too.
Her solo album was rejected by 23 Music Labels, so she started her own Label, Blackheart Records, with Kenny Laguna in 1980 at the age of 22. If someone already posted it my bad, didn't see it mentioned when I skimmed the comments.
Before you said Bon Jovi I was thinking you should jam to some Bon Jovi. lol. Crazy! Joan Jett had me thinking of BJ even though it seemed liked a stretch even to myself. ❤️🔥 Enjoying the reactions!! ❤️
My ex husband thought I looked like her ... I didnt see it at first but when I look at pictures from that time he was right. And now this song reminded me of him later. Lol
Joan would see the comparrison to Suzi Quatro as a huge compliment, as Suzi was a HUGE influence on her and Joan sees her as an absolute Idol!! As for Bon Jovi ....... well, all the late 80 Rock Bands were influenced by Joan ( .... and the Runaways, her original Band)
Suzy Quattro and Joan Jett were actually in a band together called the Runaways. Their were 4 women. I think if I'm not mistaken Lita Ford was a member. I don't remember who else but it seems like she passed away. You might like her song called fake friends. It's good to. Suzy had a song called Rock Hard that was good and very early Suzy Quattro song was Daytona Demon. Kinda dark but not to bad. Joan Jett also had another song believe it or not called AC/DC. It is not bad at all plus Carman Electra makes an appearance in the video.
Her Bad Reputation is a really great song. And if you want even more of a start... check out Cherrybomb by The Runaways. Both Joan Jett and Lita Ford got their starts in that group, when they were all young. Lita is another female rocker you should check out.
I grew up listening to this strong talented woman! All of us girls would rock out to this after a bad break up lol. 😎🤘Joan Nett is too cool for school and I've heard she's a cool person off stage as well.
Joan Jett was the type of girl who stomped and frowned her way through high school in Texas. She refused to be the stereotypical sweet little girl others wanted her to be.
@@Thehorrorboat It was the parents of Joan Jett who were the most disappointed of all. They did not get the soft spoken sweet lady wearing pink fluffy, lacy dresses who acted like an elegant Southern belle that they really wanted.
@@gwillis01 so that means that the parents want her to be a confederate sweet girl doing kinky shit by wearing perverting clothes damn i feel really lucky im not in that situation since im male lol
I have loved Joan Jett since the early 80s...but I have to be careful when driving with her on the music player - she makes my gas pedal foot very, very heavy...lol
Joan is great & as many have said below, she was in the all female rock band The Runaways A Band Way ahead Of The Times! During that time they were all teenager's taking the world by storm But, Unfortunately no one had their back! Along with being mistreated & used Their manager at the time was also a creep... Sadly they broke but did release several album's. Their debut album was great but no one really knew how to accept them seriously at the time. Their first album was released in 1976 & their second album was pretty good as well The Runaways Live In Japan, On that album they did a pretty sweet cover of the Troggs song (Wild Thing) Joan & Lita Ford went on to have good solo career's - Personally speaking Joan was more successful but Lita is the better guitarist & Does a great song with Ozzy - (Close My Eyes Forever) Also Lita does a great cover of Alice Cooper's Song (Only Women Bleed) Great reaction Harri, Thank you for taking a trip down Joan's way.... Suggesting to react to either one of the above mentioned song's by Lita as well if you like Checkout The Runaways too. Also going to suggest you react to The all female rock band - Girlschool (Future Flash) , (Back To Start) , (Race With The Devil) , (Not For Sale) Might have to do studio version's of these song's by Girlschool I'm not sure if there's very many good quality live & or music video's of them around anymore... Thanks, Kevin from Canada
Joan is 0% bullshit, 100% badass. Legend.
Joan is badass, love her. Another great song is “Do You Wanna Touch Me”.
Another vote for listening to "Do You Wanna Touch Me".
Originál je tuším Gary Glitter. 😉 Což nic nemění na tom, že ona to zpívá úžasně! 👍 I think the original is Gary Glitter. 😉 Which doesn't change the fact that she sings it amazingly! 👍
Joan Jett has said that when she formed the Runaways that Suzy Quattro was her hero and lead influence.
Joan is a rock icon. She got her start in the Runaways and then went on to a successful career solo and with the Blackhearts.
Joan Jett is now in her 60s and is still touring. Still looks good too!
Still sounds the same. She is teeny tiny too. Her guitar look so big next to her.
LOL She's had a few 'touch-ups'.
@@johnj2763 Haven't we all? Some of us got the scars, but never went under the knife.
Great job, Harri
She can still get it at 63.
I saw her in Iraq back in 2010. She still had it after all these years. Never thought I'd see my childhood rock and roll crush in body armor in the desert. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Joan Jett gave me one of my personal mottos to live by: I don’t give a damn about my bad reputation! Rock on, Joan!
She will be touring state-side this spring & summer on the Stadium Tour with Motley Crue, Def Leppard and Poison.
Sorry to say, Motley Crue ain't gonna make that tour. Vince sounds and looks terrible.
@@oldschoolfink3212 Who cares, we got Poison & Joan Jett.
That would be awesome to see her and def Leppard together!
You need to watch her live performance at her induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It will blow you away!
Suzi quatro was her idol.........joan jett was in an all girl rock band in the 70's.........check out the song Cherry bomb 🍒
I love Rock & Roll and her cover of Crimson & clover are a must hear Harri
Absolutely!! We finally saw her 5 years ago outside of Houston, she and her band was opening for Heart but she was fabulous! And as much as I like Tommy James and The Shondells version, she, in my opinion took it to another level! Great concert!!
In the year this song was released, there were people who said that a female could never do an angry, screaming hard rock song.
Joan is one bad rock n roll chick. She was a Runaway with Lita Ford, Jackie Fox and Cherie Currie before going solo. Shes in her 60's and still going strong.
The Queen of Rock
Joan is one of purest, kindest, & sexiest women of her era or any other.
Get it right ! 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤ She 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸
She's still around!! Love this woman!!!
Joan is a true to the craft rocker. She is badass.
Joan Jett is on Rolling Stone's top 100 guitarists list.
ok I love Joan, but that is ridiculous. She is not even the lead guitarist in her own friggin band haha. Tons of names on Rolling Stone's list are ludicrous.

As for Joan, Fantastic music and a very energetic performer.
JOAN JETT is a badass, pure and simple. I saw her live once years ago.
An American Classic for sure. She did really well but I think she should have had more recognition. Just right there on the line. Her and her band deserved more I think.
You said it best. The Madonna of rock and roll. 😁🥰
I love how she points to the camera at the end. She doesn’t pretend to be a bad butt rocker she just is one.
I saw her with the Blackhearts in concert as the opening act for Styx in the summer of 2019 & she still sounds this good! I love Joan Jett, especially “I Love Rock n Roll,”
Suzi Quatro was Joan's idol when she started. Met her and The Runaways in Dallas back in 1975. Still have the pair of Levi's they signed. Wish I could go back
Wait till you see her live!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Met her many times, she's always awesome and so nice
Love Joan.
She Rocks is right!
Lovin' me some JJ. Heard this song a thousand times and it never gets old, only better.
Joan is an icon and badass and that's not an image...that's Joan Jett. Period. She FOUNDED Blackheart records after the Runaways got the shaft from the industry.

@Harri we saw Joan Jett&the black hearts ... Motorhead ... Alice Cooper at The Brighton Center
Suzi Quattro was a HUGE INFLUENCE, she's said it many times. Great observation, Sir🖤
" Do You Want to Touch Me " 😲😘😁✌️♥️
Joan Jett and The Blackhearts were rough rockers. Decades ago if I got feeling 'dissed' I'd play "Fake Friends", and it still works. Have you heard The Romantics? Try "What I Like About You" from their 1980 album The Romantics.
She actually modelled herself after Suzie Quatro. She and Lita Ford were in the Runaways from the early 70's. One of the first all girl bands.
Joan Jett is ‘all grrrl. a lady she’s not’. A song lyric of Joan describing herself.
She was a member of The Runaways (along with Lita Ford) but no YT reactor will touch them. Not sure why, they were female rock pioneers.
I've noticed that too. Wonder if it is a licensing issue ? Awesome suggestion !!
Finally, a couple reacted to Lita Ford last week. Kiss me deadly. I think the previous commenter is correct, Lita Ford is one that can land reactors in RUclips jail.
Also Cherri Currie, and their iconic song Cherrie Bomb hasn’t been blocked for years on RUclips.
@@scapito There's a very popular (male) reactor out there who watched "Close My Eyes Forever' about 5mos ago and was like, "Is that Ozzy Osbourne playing guitar?" I wanted to scream, "Ozzy doesn't play an instrument, that's Lita!" Funny how some guys just don't believe a lady can play hard rock.
Andy and Alex did “Cherry Bomb”
I name my cars. I named the current one, "Cherry Bomb" because it's red. It was also a song by The Runaways, her previous band before going solo.
Joan was the standard for rocker chicks and so many of us had mad crushes on her back in the day.
I rocked a Joan Jett Hairstyle all though high school in the 80's. Miss Joan is badass!
joan jett, rocks, yeah suzi quatro also great
She plainly charmed all of us💜 you might try Bad Reputation and I Love Rock and Roll!
I love this song,,,,,probably her best. Good review,,,👍👍👍😎
“I Love Rock n’ Roll” is another of her rockers to check out. Good stuff. 🌺✌️
She doesn't smile through the whole song until it's over and then she come out of character:) (love the smile at the end :) ) True sigh of an artist :) Peace and Love from Canada eh :) hehe yeah she was a rebel punk at times but eh whatya ya gonna do :)
Joan Jett is the queen of punk.
"I want to see you beggin', and say 'Forget It' just for spite!" Love that line. But anyone who's been in the wrong relationship for too long, or seen it happen to someone else, can totally appreciate it.
That's my girl. Love Susie too.
Joan Jett as part of the Runaways predates Bon Jovi by 9 years.
Bon Jovi reminds me of Joan Jett. A true rocker she is.
BTW, I saw her live at 49 y/o in 2004 and her body was ripped.
She made a really good movie with Michael J Fox as her brother and the bass player from Spinal Tap. It's called The Light of Day. Great movie if you ever get a chance to see it.
Check out her version of Crimson and Clover
She's still around, Harri. Still performing and still in amazing shape. She looks way younger than she is right now. Thanks so much for doing this. Love your stuff.
Joan is still touring.
Joan Jett sang the National Anthem at an Orioles game in 2023
So you're now a fan of the Joan Jetsons! :=)
I've been one for more than 30 years...
Joan Jett is such a badass!! Check out Bad Reputation, Do You Wanna Touch Me or her version of Crimson and Clover.👍🔥🤘🏻🎧
Seen her live. Shes amazing!
Yeah even though i felt bad for her when she was rejected by lots of music labels at least she's ok now
I think Harri likes that bad girl look. --- I live in Laughlin Nv and saw her 2 or 3 years ago, and she's still touring and rockin.
She's still rocking at age 62 or 63
Great reaction Harri , Joan Jett is a Bad ass rocker , If you want to hear a song where she puts the guy in his place check out her song Someday
Wow you got that one right I love your reaction I met Joan at the Oregon jam The outlaws were playing back in the seventies and she's only 5'1 tiny little thing 🥳🥳🥳

Their letters said Joan “should lose the guitar” or “look prettier” and she needed a “song search”. Not giving up, Kenny Laguna took some money he had saved and both Kenny and Joan started their OWN record label, BLACKHEART Records. They recorded their first album titled “Joan Jett” in 1980 and sold their records at shows from the trunk of their car. Eventually they were signed on to Boardwalk Records and they re-released the album as “Bad Reputation”. Joan put an ad saying, “Wanted 3 good men” for a band and the Blackhearts were formed. While still struggling as a woman in hard rock the band recorded the album “I Love Rock n Roll”. The title track went to #1 on the Billboard chart for 8 weeks in a row!!! The next single “Crimson and Clover” went to #5 (a cover song from Tommy James and the Shondells which Kenny Laguna temporarily played keyboards with and he brought the song for Joan to sing). They re-released the songs “Bad Reputation” and “Do You Wanna Touch Me” and they became hits. The video for “Bad Reputation” was a JAB at all 23 record labels that rejected her (note that the 4 songs that were rejected were 4 hits on the Billboard charts). Joan Jett was HUGE and was touring with Queen, the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and other big bands. In 1983 she released the album called “Album” which had 2 hits “Fake Friends” and a cover of Sly and the Family Stones’ “Everyday People”. In 1986 she appeared in the movie “Light of Day” with Michael J. Fox, with her acting performance getting great reviews, and the title track song written by Bruce Springsteen. In 1988 “Up your Alley” was released and 2 songs were hits “I Hate Myself For Loving You” and “Little Liar”. In 1990 “The Hit List” was released, an album of ALL cover songs, including the covers of “Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap)” by AC/DC, “Love Hurts” by Nazareth and “Have You Ever Seen The Rain” by CCR. In the early 90’s the Grunge era came but Joan continued putting out albums and non stop touring. “Notorious” (1992) and “Pure and Simple” (1994) were released. Joan also did other TV shows and movies such as “Boogie Boy”. In 2000 she was doing “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” on Broadway playing Magenta. “Naked” CD was released in Japan (not in America) which had the song “Science Fiction, Double Feature”. In 2006 she released the “Sinner” CD which had the video for the song “ACDC”, a cover of the Sweets’ song (about bisexuality) which featured Carmen Elektra. Joan Jett also toured the Vans Warped Tour main stage that year. In 2013 she released “Unvarnished” and the song/video for “Any Weather” co written by Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl and the song “Soulmates to Strangers” co written by Trans musician Laura Jane Grace from Against Me. In 2015 Joan Jett and the Blackhearts were inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame after the previous year when Joan Jett performed “Smells Like Teen Spirit” w/ Nirvana when they were inducted. Throughout the years Joan Jett has written songs for other artists such as Alice Cooper, L7, Bikini Kill, etc. She was dubbed the leader of the “Riot Girrl” movement of the 90’s. She produced other bands and signed them to her Blackheart Records label. She is an animal activist for P.E.T.A. For years she also goes to play free shows for American troops overseas bringing them “a piece of home”. She is a singer, musician, songwriter, producer, record label owner, activist, pioneer, legend and Icon. Below will be some links to Official Videos and performances.

We're the same age, I'm 5 months older, when I was 17 in 1975 and being lazy, reckless and irresponsible, she was starting her first band The Runaways (1975-79) which had a moderate degree of success and released het first solo album in 1980, I was 22 and...yeah same guy. She has the sexiest eyes ever, go watch "Crimson and Clover to verify that. In 1985 she played a college by me, college kids mostly so at 27 I may have been one of the oldest ones there, the stage was low, maybe a foot high and I was no more than 5 feet away from her and I can tell you she is every bit as gorgeous live as she is here.
It's funny you mention Suzi Quatro. Joan is a very big fan of hers and a lot of her style is inspired by her!
This song was both produced and written by Desmond Child, also a collaborator of Bon Jovi which explains ant likeness.
Hell yes! 👏
I saw Joan way back in 1981 in a park here on Long Island NY. She was touring her first solo album ...and I bought it out of the WLIR radio van which was parked in the lot. Still have it too! Even then , it was a kick ass show! Been a fan ever since..
Great reaction and so glad you appreciated her stage presence as it’s a great rock n’ roll song! Joan was hot, and still a great looking lady today!
Susi Quatro and Joan Jettt along with Lita Ford were part of a legendary group "The Runaways"... Look into it.
Suzi wasn't in The Runways. She influenced them.
She truly is mesmerizing, that is a good way to describe her effect. Those eyes and that gaze of hers, like no other. This is one of her best songs, too.
Her solo album was rejected by 23 Music Labels, so she started her own Label, Blackheart Records, with Kenny Laguna in 1980 at the age of 22.
If someone already posted it my bad, didn't see it mentioned when I skimmed the comments.
You crack me up, Harri. Your the best
Before you said Bon Jovi I was thinking you should jam to some Bon Jovi. lol. Crazy! Joan Jett had me thinking of BJ even though it seemed liked a stretch even to myself. ❤️🔥 Enjoying the reactions!! ❤️
My ex husband thought I looked like her ... I didnt see it at first but when I look at pictures from that time he was right. And now this song reminded me of him later. Lol
so cool you got the Suzi Quatro vibe from her
“Bad reputation “, “do u wanna touch”, “cherry bomb”, “I love rock n roll”
She actually put out a couple songs a few years ago and they're not half bad.
Joan would see the comparrison to Suzi Quatro as a huge compliment, as Suzi was a HUGE influence on her and Joan sees her as an absolute Idol!!
As for Bon Jovi ....... well, all the late 80 Rock Bands were influenced by Joan ( .... and the Runaways, her original Band)
Suzy Quattro and Joan Jett were actually in a band together called the Runaways. Their were 4 women. I think if I'm not mistaken Lita Ford was a member. I don't remember who else but it seems like she passed away. You might like her song called fake friends. It's good to. Suzy had a song called Rock Hard that was good and very early Suzy Quattro song was Daytona Demon. Kinda dark but not to bad. Joan Jett also had another song believe it or not called AC/DC. It is not bad at all plus Carman Electra makes an appearance in the video.
Always a good time! Thanks, Harri.
Check out I Love Rock''n roll or Bad Reputation. Joanies still prefornin and goin strong.
I always look forward to your videos.
Go way back and check out Joan when she was in the band the runaways.It had Lita Ford and cherie curie also.
She reminds you of Bon Jovi because of the hair. LOL
Her Bad Reputation is a really great song. And if you want even more of a start... check out Cherrybomb by The Runaways. Both Joan Jett and Lita Ford got their starts in that group, when they were all young. Lita is another female rocker you should check out.
Absolutely love Joan Jett.
I grew up listening to this strong talented woman! All of us girls would rock out to this after a bad break up lol. 😎🤘Joan Nett is too cool for school and I've heard she's a cool person off stage as well.
Do I LOVE ROCK N ROLL by Joann Jett. That was the MAIN HIT when it came out.
Saw her in concert a couple of years ago with Heart and Elle King. Was an amazing show for all three!!
Joan Jett was the type of girl who stomped and frowned her way through high school in Texas. She refused to be the stereotypical sweet little girl others wanted her to be.
Damn what were the schools like in pennsylvania if girls there are forcing others to be stereotypical and sweet
@@Thehorrorboat It was the parents of Joan Jett who were the most disappointed of all. They did not get the soft spoken sweet lady wearing pink fluffy, lacy dresses who acted like an elegant Southern belle that they really wanted.
@@gwillis01 so that means that the parents want her to be a confederate sweet girl doing kinky shit by wearing perverting clothes damn i feel really lucky im not in that situation since im male lol
I have loved Joan Jett since the early 80s...but I have to be careful when driving with her on the music player - she makes my gas pedal foot very, very heavy...lol
You should hear the Liliac version of this song. Blows your mind.
there was a band called Rock Goddess aswell:)
Hell hath no fury! wow the memories
Here cover of Dirty Deeds done dirt cheap. Is great.
Try “Bad Reputation”
Great pick! I love this song. Great reaction Harri!
Joan is great & as many have said below, she was in the all female rock band The Runaways
A Band Way ahead Of The Times!
During that time they were all teenager's taking the world by storm But, Unfortunately no one had their back!
Along with being mistreated & used Their manager at the time was also a creep...
Sadly they broke but did release several album's. Their debut album was great but no one really knew how to accept them seriously at the time. Their first album was released in 1976 & their second album was pretty good as well
The Runaways Live In Japan, On that album they did a pretty sweet cover of the Troggs song (Wild Thing)
Joan & Lita Ford went on to have good solo career's - Personally speaking Joan was more successful but Lita is the better guitarist & Does a great song with Ozzy - (Close My Eyes Forever) Also Lita does a great cover of Alice Cooper's
Song (Only Women Bleed)
Great reaction Harri, Thank you for taking a trip down Joan's way....
Suggesting to react to either one of the above mentioned song's by Lita as well if you like
Checkout The Runaways too.
Also going to suggest you react to The all female rock band - Girlschool
(Future Flash) , (Back To Start) , (Race With The Devil) , (Not For Sale)
Might have to do studio version's of these song's by Girlschool I'm not sure if there's very many good quality live & or music video's of them around anymore...
Thanks, Kevin from Canada
Just pure old rock and roll hard driving loud guitar
