Lita Ford - Kiss Me Deadly 

71 best year ❣️

71 to n we had best music ever in our teens

well said.

73's too

Born in 72, couldn't agree more

Yes, I born in 75

Sorry, dude, being born in the '60's gave us all that great stuff in the 80's but also the 60's and 70's

Happy 65th Lita ! 🤟

Yep. Profound.

Ovaries the size of melons!

I often wonder- did she win the fight??????

Don't forget later in the song... Looking in the mirror don't get it for me!😂

Amen🎉🎉

Same could be said about Mick Smiley

Agreed, it may not seem that much, but MOJO gave her their #1 on top ten female guitarist of all time. And Nancy Wilson and f'ng Rosetta Tharp were on the list. I take that as high praise.

I agree she has been underated by music critics, who only see her as another sex symbol trying to pass off as a legitimate musician. I've seen her in some recent programming and she is still the LITA FORD we have all comed to admire and respect since the beginning.

I was 11 and feel the same!

I was 17 Life was wild

The '80s are an unrecognized gem

I was 22 and really into metal for a bit there. I liked Lita Ford, but didn't have much exposure to her. Now I have a chance to really listen to more of her music.

I was 16. I watched this on Rollergames on WGN.

And then they f#%@ed it up with cheesy videos

Oh yeah Runaways...Joan Jett came outta that chic band too! She used to be badass in the 70's & 80's! But nowadays she's all liberal like- fell into that hollyweird trap.. unfortunate

see them, the 'shuffle dance' and , and 'rave remixes' have done a great job at preserving 80's and 90's great tunes!

Um,no

Too many tattoos

An avocado in every fruitbowl and a Porsche on every drive. You are not wrong.

YUP!!!

I agree

it aint no big thang!!

Yes, the video's director/producers checked off each of the requirements for producing the quintessential MTV-Ready 80's music video. One thing I don't get, though: Why did they give the drummer so little headroom?

Speaking of ''tight pants'', there's a photo of the Runaways that I saw the other day. All of them except Lita Ford are facing the camera. She is in the foreground facing away. Any idea where I can find it?

Amen

There was literally nothing more purely fake than the manufactured nature of popular 80's metal. You might as well say country music is good music while you're at it.

@@williamhutton2126 Ok. I’ll say country music is good music. Even Nikki Sixx listens to country music. Let me see…80s, maybe early 90s. I saw Iron Maiden, Vinnie Vincent Invasion, Metallica, um twice. Kirk Hammett, big fan of U2. Queensrÿche, Scorpions, a few times as well. AC/DC, Megadeth,…Peace Sells!!! Sounds awesome live. Well, they all sound awesome live. Van Halen multiple times. Guns & Roses, the original line up. Ronnie James Dio, Bon Jovi, Cinderella, Skid Row,….Trying to remember, been to too many. Killer arena concerts of the 80s 🤘🤘Anyway, like all!

@@williamhutton2126 I totally disagree with that Baby Biber and the pop gen was / is manufactured this generation of rock is as pure as it comes.. But hey what do I know I have been a traveling DJ for 46 years and this generation of music made it happen..

@@SegoMan Playing other people's music doesn't remotely come close to making you an expert, kid. Zepplin and Sabbath were raw. Maiden and Priest were pure. These hair bands were corporate clowns doing what was popular. They created nothing essential. Except what lead to the further downward slide of music.

@@williamhutton2126 OK Forest you tell them.. I took E all of the above music and presented it to places that never had a venue from these class of musicians. I promoted / sold 10's of thousands records playing their music and created 1,000's of babies along the way as I played that perfect song for mom & dad.. You don't last 46 years in the biz if people don't like what you are doing.. Now it's time to for you to "Run Forest Run".... Just watch out where you step...

Get down Lita Jam on Girl Release that ENERGY !!!

No she's got it going on. Awesome as well as talented. Go Lita!! Rock it out!! Party 🥳 🎉 🪅 🎊 🍺 🍻

I'm right now in the process of looking for a video of Lita Ford playing anything even remotely hard to play. Whenever I hear something fast or complex, it seems to be the other guitarist on stage.

Taylor Dayne is also amazing - live and recorded.

She still looks hot as fuck!

Oh yeah you kiddies out there don't know what good music is.Take it from I was born in 66 the 70s 80s are the best.

I can't get enough of this song, either!

You miss the fact that she can shred the Hell out of the guitar

If you're a fan of Lita Ford and 80's rock you should really check out the new Chez Kane single: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FIqSK4K-ki8.html

@@dannyrexon1241 Not a fan really, but this kind of "rock your socks off" music does it. Thanks for the link anyways :)!

Every decade owes its musical existence to the decades before it, and there were plenty of musical explosions happening in the 80's. It was fantastic. Color me firmly in the hard rock but good music is good music regardless of the genre.

i was lucky enough my teens landed in the eighties, so the music taught me it all.

@@agonistes06 Lucky you! :)

Hot Tube Time Machine movie

Big hair and even hairier beavers fur bergers for everyone!

take me with you and leave me there

😭

Dude,you are sooo right. When you figure that out, let me know ASAP, 😉😊🤩🤩🤩🤩🤘💚.

Remember when they came out and still get a hardon!!😂😂😊😊❤❤🎉😊😊

Don’t forget Pat Benatar. Or Pat Babe-atar.

I don't consider this "Pop rock" It's real Rock n Roll

@@sashasue00 Lol late 80s is the start of the Pop we know today and even earlier, I was complimenting the song! Call it whatever but it is and was corny Radio Pop Rock with Glam Influence. It's a good song and everyone's got their opinion!

@@jyejye1077 I meant no offense, except that I believe Lita deserves the credit for her accomplishments--she's amazing, a singer and an awesome guitarist

Sometimes solo isn't the way... The Beatles were great because they were a band... The Rolling Stones was more than just one rock.... Just because you can be a single mother doesn't mean you should be a single mother... as time has proven over and over again what happened in schools is obviously a reason why there shouldn't be single parents raising children & why there shouldn't be divorce lawyer women putting commercials on a RU-vid channel with kids shows over and over and over every time a kid shows on there there's some woman shows up trying to spark divorce into a woman's head because she's been raising kids in that home and going crazy... just like that over-the-counter trucker speed they put it in every truck stop for the trucker who's tired and his computer says keep driving and then when he's not sleepy that computer says go to sleep... All that stuff just burns my hemorrhoids

@@mariacopley825 were you on Ambien when you wrote and then posted this here? Or did you sneak past the guards in psych ward again? Either way, you are sick and you need to go get help, immediately.

who cares about the mainstream?

@@ArtilleryAffictionado1648 so you Ted Nugent? Or the Damn Yankees? OK 👌 throw out the Headbangers ball... that's mainstream... all the 80s MTV video & there all these Vivo videos .... Good bye!

@@ArtilleryAffictionado1648 this video is mainstream... vevo mainstream! Bye by!

I met her in Georgia the summer of 88. Got a signed cassette and a hug. She was SMOKIN HOT, just like that summer.

I wouldn't say that's totally true a lot of the younger people would love to be back in the 80s you see many of them talking about it

I'm 22 and I understand.

I’m twelve and 80s is my favorite music

I DO DUDE IM 14 AND EVERYONE AROUND ME LISTENS TO DUTCH RAP YEH THAT SUCKS THEY USUALLY DONT EVEN KNOW ICONIC BANDS LIKE GREEN DAY OR BON JOVI

You know the really scary thing? Kids today will look back on the 2010's and say that there was nothing like it. They have absolutely no idea.

Ann Wilson??

I would add Pat Benatar and Suzy Quatro as well!

Wilsons. End of story.

wouldn't go that far

Former The Runaways band member was underrated.

Oh hell no. Not by literally ANY metric.

@@leonoranicolaysen2784 I do like Ann Wilson as a female vocalist. that was by I said that Lita Ford was "one" of the best female vocalists of the 80's as there were more. Pat Benatar was one.

It was a blast!❤

She got zero credit in the runaways movie…not right

Doesn't she?😊

It was a blast back then..

I absolutely loved this song 👩‍🎤💛

Some songs do that to me as well, my friends will be like why are you crying? Maybe we are on a different plain? Idfk but I def get it❤

I definitely get that

Dude, I wasn't sure what the shit you were talking about but... now I'm tearing up. Dammit! You're right, there's no logic-it's not even a ballad-but daaaaaamn!

music is linked with memories...

😊❤

Perfect show, when I saw the crue Dr Feelgood tour they had faster pussycat open. Great show but I would've taken lita over faster pussycat anyday! Motley was awesome. I think my ears might still be ringing.

Bad ass!!!

Dr.Feelgood concert rocked. And Lita was totally awesome. I saw them at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Collecim

I believe you bro

That's so awesome.

Seen a cover band couple years ago outdoors,the waether was great the crowd was older they played this song it sounded just like this but better because of the massive sound from the speakers and for a moment I was back in the 80s

I wish there was a time machine. I'm gone 4 ever

I wish there was a time machine. This time sucks

@@julieb3996 I'm just about finished with building my time machine, just waiting on my order of flux capacitors from Amazon. There are still a few seats left.

@@mitzithompson6585 I just about finished building my time machine, just waiting on my order of flux capacitors from Amazon. There's still a few seats available.

Absolutely!! She is just as gorgeous now as she was back then

Hell yea!!!! 🤘

Aka my mom

Amen

Not as much as the men did.

That's because they were REAL musicians and extraordinarily talented.

How cool is that!?

That's one of the coolest things I've ever heard! Did you ever say hi?

Led Zep lucky you!!! I would trade anything for that.

Omg!!!!!😨

Bad ass

The whole hair band genre is so integral to rock, blues, and pop. Having wild, unfettered concerts added to it. Great times.

The rock/metal scene in the 80s and early 90s was amazing .

I was born in 92 also and started hearing this in 96 🤣

@@origbeecee I think people need to go back and learn from the previous artist that were doing real music. With everyone chasing their 15 minutes of fame, art is really suffering.

@@greeneyedgirl420 I wish I heard this as a kid lol but better late than never I suppose haha

and the Wilson sisters

Phantom Blue

I didn't know it would all end.........and then it did. I thought good music was here to stay. Afterall, we'd been making good music for many decades in different genres. I think people's souls have morphed, their inner spirits are not as bright ad lively in general as past generations. .

DORO PESCH THE MOLTEN METAL GODDESS BIRD OF FIRE 🤘😎🤘

Bananarama? Eye candy at least. Heart was my fav. Saw them in 78, 79 and 80 in high school. They started it in the late 70s

Today (Sat) was her birthday! ...on a Saturday night!

The cassette still plays??

Today's kids: cassette?

I wore mine out rewinding over and over and over again and again LMAO 🤣

I’m 13 and I have an old record player in the 70s and I use all my moms old cassette tapes and play it everyday

BUT with a "polarizing classiness"- see new gals with this quality- Miley, Natalie Portman, Milo Kundis, what is Belinda Carlisle doing now?????? SHE was sooooooooooo sexy and danced like no other gal ever

No 👎👎 tattoos or body piercings nothing but gorgeous 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍.

Damn... and every year I'm older... Is hard to accept that I was a teenager when this song was released.... Now above 40 is tough....

I hear you Dude!

Pushing 45 and still liking the hell out of it..... :-)

I'm 18... then again I wish I was alive in the 80s

I don't i want to die

That's because today's are awful.

You mean what is a loose woman

Paul Dowling ,met lita ford,she is a cool and down to earth person

Love them all but doro rules

Orihanti can

Love them. Surprisingly not many know who Vixen is. omg

Don't forget scandal they were one of the first

TheVetoSkreeemer this is awesome but my favourite lita song is her duet with ozzy close my eyes forever

Joseph Dolman I prefer this one. Be well

MY FAVORITE LITA FORD SONG TOO KISS ME DEADLY !!!!!

I love Close My Eyes with Lita and Ozzy Osborne!!

Joseph Dolman mine too!!

Same here, time sucks.

Most people like/love the '80's. Like we do. To me, they still don't seem that far off. And some great music, friends and memories and art carry on.

Me too!!!!

I'm 50 any music after the 80's sucks feel bad for our kids .

It was the Time of our lives. Living for the music, the party and friends. It's what we looked forward to every weekend. 🤘😎

She isn't heavy metal. Glam metal is not metal

Kathryn Love Pop music is all the same(There are some Exceptions) - Just Sex, butts and autotune. Glam metal is a thing for posers - The real stuff back then was underground. Lita Ford is a POP artist(Excluding Autotune), Because glam metal is just a shitty pop song with distorted guitars

Congrats on showing how little you know about music - not only it's construction but performance too. 1) Most Western music - from country to pop to metal is constructed the same way. Ie: the chords, progressions & melodies are interchangeable across the styles. Play a instrument and you'd know this. Pop music: ballads, dance numbers, piano-driven, guitar-driven, acoustic, sax - it's all varied just like metal. Beat It is differernt to Crazy For You which is different to the Love Changes Everything which is different to Adventures of a Lifetime which is different to Wannabe which is different to Sweet Dreams which is different to Mickey which is different to Real Gone Kid which is differen to A Hard Day's Night yet it's all pop. Speaking of The Beatles - they influenced everybody. You don't play music today without feleing thr Beatles influence. Alice Cooper used a lot of Beatles-stuff in his music but he's a bonafide metal god. ANd good songs transcend style because a great-written song is great regardless. Diane Warren write all her songs on piano yet have been recorded by the hevaiest, the bluesiest and the popiest of artists. Glam metal is for posers, eh? Tell tht to the people who really dug it - for the music and nothing else. Tell that to the bands that weren't as hardcore as Metallica and so, for them, were being really edgy and daring. I grew up with a band that transitioned from pop to what you wuld call "poser glam rock" yet from their perspective they were really oushing the boundaries. You say glam metal is just shitty pop music but how do you define pop music? You're tlaking the construction but even an imbecile knows there's a huge difference between the Beatles, the Eagles (when they ventured into pop). And you do realise that pop music is written by people who know their shit when it comes to writing songs, don't you? As for being a 'shitty pop song' that infers that all artists (that you decree as glam) are by default bad musicians and songwriters. How does that work? And the I-IV-V structure used as the backbone of Kiss Me Deadly is the STANDARD progression in all Western music and the strongest too. Knock that and you knock everyone from Led Zep to Iron Maiden to Judas Priest to Rolling Stones to Beatles to Elvis. But as said, KISS write different to Poison who write different to Twisted Sister who write different to Alice Cooper - depsite ALL relying on that I-IV-V prog and the melodies as a result yet t's all the same to you, lol. As for shitty - plenty of their songs are timeless classics. What you're failing to grasp is: 1) You're judging music based on image. If those same bands were out now, the image would be more toned down. It was the 80s - that was the image, Likewise a 70s band today would not be all pork chops and bell bottoms if they were about today. 2) Like many an ill-educated metalhead, you're being an elitist idiot and judging music on it's perceived lack of heaviness (as well as image) bearing no mind to the actual song itself - just blanket stating that as it sounds like op to you then it must be badly written and performed by hack posers. 3) Western music means most songs transport to differentgenres effortlessly. This song could be turned into country, thrash, heartflet piano-driven pop ballad, disco - you name it.

Nah, this bitch Sucks, Jinx Dawson and Ann Wilson appeared before and they are better.

Kathryn Love 1. ALICE COOPER IS FUCKING SHOCK ROCK. 2. Western music is not the same. Compare a Megadeth song to a Rihanna song. Totally different 3. Wearing girl's clothes and makeup is the oposite of metal 4. Glam has some nice songs (With this not being one in my opinion) 5. You can not transform a Rihanna song in a thrash metal one 6. Plus Megadeth is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more complex than let's say Kiss or Def Leppard

43, same

yeah but youre not. now get over my house and i;ll show you a good time

Mindy Collins that’s awesome! Same thing. Here but it was my older half brother who was also a rocker hitting string sunset strip with his band! He made sure his little sister was properly groomed! From 10 on that was it! Sold out for life!

Wow! Before the internet I wouldn’t have known what was playing and popular in other countries but now that’s all I do, searching for music I like and sharing ❤

Respect! Great comment!!

Absolutly 😎

I agree what we have nowadays sucks. I'm a Lita lover too. Solo stuff, stuff from her time with the Runaways. Lita rocks. Beautiful and talented.

Lita is my favorite female voice of all time

Umm Diana Ross, Gloria Jones?

Thats awesome 👌

To be able to go back right? How much wilder would we have been?

This lady can play better than most of the boys...

Yeah , even the guys dressed like this. It was hard to tell the difference sometimes, until they turned around! LOL

@@chrisrandall1366 Aw I thought you meant play with the pretty boys, aw never mind my mind is in the gutter

ughhh..im 52 today🙃

That GROANING GUITAR intro to the final 1/3 of the song.. then all hell breaks loose!! " Ya know know I like dancin' wichew!"

How you doin?
