Not sure if this has been mentioned before but I was surprised on reading Lita Ford is English. Born in London. I think she was either 7 or 8 when her parents moved to the US. Funny thing is, Slash was born in London, too. His parents moved to the US when he was 5. There just seems to be a parallel there. Two of the greatest American guitarists of all time, both English by birth. 😁
Back when chicks were wearing sun dresses and strumming acoustic guitars Then along came The Runaways the true pioneers of chicks in rock They opened the door for all the chicks in metal and rock And then there is Lita Ford need I say more. lol
Una rola super chida de estas sexys Runaways que creo yo son mas que una legendaria banda de chicas bonitas,son verdaderas roqueras,hay que disfrutar esta combinacion peligrosa entre lo sexy y el buen rock...
Lita is the Best female Guitar player of all, in my opinion. And she is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yet Joan Jett is. Something is wrong there.
Lita Ford is a very special lady, she writes all her music and shreds on the guitar...... Joan is popular over her cover song rock n roll...and her other songs all sound the same
It boggles the mind seeing the crowd size there in what looks like a giant tent they were performing under (Yes? No?) and I've never seen or heard of a report from a soul who was there before!
Unbelievable photos and song/recording! This is SO close to sounding like and on the quality level of Led Zeppelin! My mind is completely blown! Where did you get them from?! Was this not from a live release?!
@demigrl21 Agree. There´s so much bullshit written about Lita, whom I personally think were the best musician in the band. The others were great, but Lita stands out a bit extra. Hottest by far in the band.
@eden19966 I agree, lita was great and sandy too for always trying to keep the band together. But I don't understand why they couldn't have their solo careers and come together every few years and tour and write music together
I'm must starting to know the runaways. I think they are amazing, but i'm confused, who is robbin and who is jackie, did someone get replaced, who was there first?
Tab? It's just a standard blues riff in E. Same riff as in "you shook me babe" by Led Zeppelin, but you just jam on the E chord without chord changes. The lead is just a improvisation on E pentatonic major and minor
Cherie & Lita NEVER got along. I'm not surprised, but they all contributed with song writing. Sandy got to sing as well as Joan and Jackie. I can't member if Lita did at all except for background vocals.
I think it's so funny that Lita Ford bleached her hair blonde just as soon as Cherie Currie left the Runaways so she could be the blonde in the band. Talk about desperate. She's always trying so hard to "look sexy". Narcissism is not sexy.
I seriously doubt it was Joan that sued. She's not really involved in the legal matters. That would be her manager, suing in Joan's name. I doubt Joan would have even wanted to sue.
@demigrl21 Lita sung back up for whenever Joan sung and Joan was back up for Cherie. So you can hear Lita sing 'I Love Playin With Fire' , 'Mama We're All Crazy Now' . Basically whenever Joan sung then there's Lita.
