You know how sometimes a support act can steal a show. I saw Joan in 2015 at the Foo Fighters 20th anniversary gig in DC. She almost stole the entire show - the crowd loved her and, my god, she rocked!
Joan Jett is the undisputed queen of Rock and Roll! When no record label was willing to sign her she just said "screw them!" and started her own label instead! Bet you there were quite a few record execs kicking themselves for losing out on her and the Blackhearts afterwards.
Joan Jett, the coolest "Rock Chick" ever, Im the same age as Joan, and in my late teens I loved the Runaways, had all their albums, and then Joan's with the Blackhearts, The 70's and 80's were a Great time for Rock chicks, Cherie Currie, Lita Ford, Vixen, Heart, etc... Thank Goodness for CZcams, those memories live on FOREVER,💖💖💖.. Lovin your reactions, keep on doin what youre doin, 👍👍👍
A lifetime ago, we formed a rock band where I used to work. The reason? We wanted to knock the socks off of our colleagues for our company-wide Christmas party. As one of two lead singers, I wanted to sing that song since Joan Jett and I have a really similar voice. It was a huge hit! I was really proud of our performance. It is one of my all-time favorite memories... You wouldn't necessarily know it, but translators are a wild bunch xD
Hahaha!!! Awesome!!! That was so cool you got to perform. I'm sure you rocked it! I performed once with a coverband doing Sublime Santeria. I goofed up the song and got kicked off the stage. Ha!
Hahaha! I totally do. I don't embarrass easy. My friends were mortified though. I try to always find the fun in everything, even at my expense. Life is too short. I hope you sing again!
The best part of this song is when just her and the drums solo. I know you must know the B52's and Rock Lobster but my favorite by them is Private Idaho. If they played that, I was on the floor even if I was alone! :)
Hahahaha!! Good Man!! I too dance even if I'm alone. I once went to a snooty sleepy lounge bar and when they broke out some good music, I danced like no one was watching. We need more of you out there. Dance on my fellow Xer!
We video taped Joan when she and the runaways performed at Cerritos Colleges, early seventies. They came back to our class and watched the replay. Cool chicks. We also had Jon Waite and the Babys play at Cerritos College in 70"S, not bad for a junior college. Almost got the Eagles, but they passed and did the California Jam, 72.
Not sure if you know the Plasmatics but their front woman Wendy O. Williams is another total badass. I'm talking about blowing up cars with dynamite onstage, chainsawing guitars, wearing nothing but electrical tape, getting beat up by the cops, etc. She and Lemmy from Motorhead were really close.
I was at the theatre where and when this video was recorded. The name of the location, Capitol Theatre in NJ. It was fun to see how a video was made back then.
IMO, the reincarnation of Joan Jett is LZZY Hale. Of the new rock voices (who are dwindling), She's got the HELL and gravel of a next generation. There's plenty of "Angel" voices out there. Check out "I Like it Heavy", an Homage to old school rockers.
What was cool about Joan Jett was she wouldn’t have done something as obvious as slam the door. I can see her leaning against the door jam, smirking at him and telling him to come back when he’s ready for a shot of Jack and a jam session.
No way you're a gen-Xer. You look like you're maybe 25. But hey, your love for Joan Jett tells me you can be anything you want to be. She is my queen as well. lol
Love this track, moreover the only real smash over here that was I Love Rock n Roll (surprisingly, I Hate... failed the Top 40). Unfairly overlooked as an artist here. Real shame, as sounds and looks great (especially in this vid with those wide, lovely, black-rimmed eyes and flustered hair. [brb: Cold shower time! :D ])

I met her and The Runaways back in 1975 in Dallas. Still have the pair of Levi's they all signed
Absolutely love this song and her Absolutely amazing Rockstar personality

Thank you! The Wilson Sisters, Pat Benatar, Lita Ford were cool but you are absolutely right, she was the coolest!.
So damn beautiful The queen of rock. Those eyes that voice

@@catsarai-genxrewind5271 Oh, yay but oh nooo :( ! Hope you still have good memories of it though!

I miss this kind of music
Yeeeessss!!! That's my girl! Favorite song is Bad Reputation 👊

Joan Jett was the coolest...!!!! What was your favorite song?
Bad reputation!
I Love Rock N Roll, but with the Sex Pistols instead of the Blackhearts...
This one!!!
The French song!
Her cover of AC/DCs "Dirty Deeds" & this one as well..
I saw her live, it was awesome.

Wow! So cool!
Great classic rock song
Joanie...cute and badass.
We love her.
I love all of it but also like when she was with the runaways w/ Lita Ford and Cherrie Currie.
Yes! I can't wait to get to Lita Ford. She was so cool.
I absolutley love Joan Jett. I will get to see her, Poison, Def Leppard and Motley Crue August 15 2021!!!!!!

Hailstorm is great!!
this was the inspiration for the sunday night football theme i've been waiting all day for sunday night
Great artist. My favorite!!

If i'm not mistaken she is playing rhythm like she did in the Runaways where Lita Ford played lead.
Last of the Baby Boomers. In my 20's in the 80's.
Cat..U R..THE.."IT" GIRL..NOW! THANKS for ur REACTIONS. 🎸🇨🇱⚘
Cool 80,s track
The True Queen of Rock-n-Roll!!!
8os music? That gets you a Sub! Good to meet you!
Ahhhh! Welcome to the tribe!
Joan Jett & tbh- Backlash
you are a nerd and cool ( and pretty ) all rolled into one great package...
Suzi Quattro is the Queen of Rock and Roll. JJ is the princess. Just ask JJ. :)
And she probably turned Tyler down because she is into women. Her and Cherrie where together for a couple years.
Aaaahh! Could be. Didn't think about that.
No way you're a gen-Xer. You look like you're maybe 25. But hey, your love for Joan Jett tells me you can be anything you want to be. She is my queen as well. lol
You are too sweet! Thanks!
As a Gen Xer I fully concur. Joan was cool AF. You look too young to be Gen X though.

React to Liliac cover video of Hate Myself for Loving You. Think you will like this band.
A true feminist icon.
Joan Jett is the QUEEN OF ROCK N ROLL but the princess of Rock n Roll is Courtney Hadwin
