Saw them in '78 opening for the Ramones. They were one of my favorite bands, and my girlfriend's favorite. We were there to see The Runaways. Had only heard the Ramones' "Rocket To Russia" album and were still trying to digest the whole punk scene at the time. Got backstage after the show and got a great kiss from Sandy! My girlfrind wasn't even jealous; She wished SHE could've kissed her! A kick ass concert which also turned me into a huge Ramones fan! RIP, Sandy. Love ya!

The movie is what did it for Me, I didn't even know who The Runaways were until I watched the movie last week on Netflix. Now I'm a Runaways Super Freak. I love this band, and I'm 57...lol. Pretty fucked up. Although, back in the mid-70s, I wasn't listening to this kinda stuff. I was in Junior High, or thereabouts, and I was more into 10CC, Fleetwood Mac, Foreigner, Eagles, & some old-time Rockabilly Stuff & The Beatles...Back in their Sweet Georgia Brown Days, before Ringo, when Pete Best was the Drummer & Tony Sheridan was singing for the band ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/i3-Au9RsnqTZiso.html ). But, Joan Jett & Cherrie Bomb.....back in the mid-70s.....YUM!!!!!

A totally underrated rock band

I had a video of ,my three year old dancing to Cherry Bomb in 2012 with Dakota Fanning on FB. One of my relatives flipped out. I explained she just liked the music, and had no idea what it meant.

Saw Cherie Currie live in Boston Saturday night. She was great and so humble. She absolutely loves her fans.

I just watched THE RUNAWAYS on Netflix & fell in love with this band...lol. I'm 57. HA!!! Better late than never. Right?

These girls are pure legends and this song is iconic.

I saw them do this song live at a small hall in Canton, OH back in the day. They were amazing and they acted this song out down Lita "gunning down" Cherie with a fierce guitar solo. Blood packs exploded and the roadies came out a carried Cheri offstage. Saw them one more time before the band broke up. Those were some good rock and roll days!

Love the band and this great song . RIP Sandy West ♥️🥀

This song is so freaking awesome.

They are amazing. They took over Japan in '77 in a mini-epic way that the Beatles took over America in '64.

Sandy West,tremendous drummer. She and Lita Ford were the more "metal/hard rock"oriented members of the band, and IF the band hadn't imploded and they could have been more influential in the writing, who knows? The Runaways may have gone in a very different direction musically.

It was a great shame they couldn’t just blend the hard rock metal & Glam Punk together, they would’ve surely got even greater recognition & success that they deserved. 1980’s would’ve lapped them up! But they were up against so many odds it’s absolutely astounding what they did in that time alone!

They actually sing and play really well. No pitch issues, drummer's beat is spot on. Good songwriting too and killer guitar riffs. Give them credit.

My sweet Joan Jett in Stranger Things, fucking yes.

One of my favorite bands ever.

I forgot how good they were. The first all girl rock band. Wild and free. They were great.

How did I miss this. Great sound and song.

If I'm dying someday I will dying with rock and roll with rock music no doubt about it

Pretty neat hearing this song in season 2 of Stranger Things, legit grinned like an idiot when I heard it aha. Great soundtrack this year and hopefully, it will get new folk interested enough to check out their other songs.

These ladies could really rock, wish music could be like this again.

I have been a fan of the Runaways since back in the day, so when the movie came out I was excited!! Love their music!!!!

Very well done! Jackie on her Runaways blog wondered if anyone had a film of them performing this song, with her and Lita playing the prison guards, beating up Cherie while she spit up stage blood. This is probably the closest we'll ever come to it.

My favorite part: In the naked city Spaces ain’t that pretty As I was getting dusted I happened to get busted Oh yes I was arrested Oh God how I protested They beat me with a board It hurt just like a sword They kicked me in the eye My brain began to fry This is like a movie I know I’m gonna scream All the pain that I feel Makes me feel mean It’s so sad and crazy here I think I’m gonna cry If I don’t wake up from this dream I think I’m gonna........¡DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! xD

@Coy Leigh but they birthed two of the most iconic female leads of the 80s and early 90s... not to mention, most of them discount the band because they were teenagers and as such the themes and ideas they sang about were based on such as well. They’ve even said they wouldn’t have lasted because they were teenage “runaways”. It wasn’t meant to last, but was meant to be decent while it did.

Im proud to say that i was fan of The Runaways way before the movie came along!

Sad to say that I had never heard of the Runaways before the movie came out...Thanks to the movie for making me know an awesome band like that.

my fav from the runaways!

Ahead of their time. They inspired me in my first rock band. Yes, an all-girl, underage punk rock band. I played bass, no we didn't have a Lita Ford figure to lay it down but I loved writing lyrics and singing and for a sixteen year old girl showed some balls. These chicks really kicked ass! Give it up for the runaways!!!!

That was Amazing! Go Runaways!

one of the coolest things I've ever seen. man Lita can play and she's only a teenager. the runaways rawkandrule

i love this song.

"They kicked me in the eye/ My brain began to fry" ! I only grew up knowing Joan Jett and Lita Ford and have always loved them and now I love The Runaways so fucking much but its sad I only first heard of them a year ago

The voice of Cherrie, the attitude of Joan, the hands of Lita, the eyes Jackie, the smile of Sandy

love this song!!!

I miss the old days

My Dearest Jett L7, I can see by your generous decision to post the 'Holy Grail' of vintage Runaways videos. The jewel in the veritable 'Crown' if you will. 'Dead end Justice'. I am moved beyond words. Thank you! You are the fucking Man!

Those of you here from Stranger Things, you should check out the Runaways movie. These girls were the real fuckin deal and they made some amazing music. This band is seriously underappreciated.

My favorite song by the Runaways!

Why have I never heard of this group before? Love this/.

I have never heard that runawayz tune ,that vidiot is from where all crazy now ,I'm sure u all knew that..,chikeez rocked it!!!!

I fell off my bed when I heard this on stranger things. I love the runaways & stranger things.

I love The Runaways so much especially Joanie. She's the main reason why, I wanted to learn/play guitar xD

Really GREAT montage ! Like suzylux, a lot of this footage & some of the stills were fresh ones for me. Also, until I read Jackie's blog regarding this song, I did not know that the group did a little 'play' and acting out when performing this song. Your still images of Cherie on the ground after the ' beat-down ' and the photos of her ' blood ' covered clothes are priceless. Rare stuff Indeed ! Thanks so much for this post and the work you put into it. Kudos !!!

This is a little epic!

Stranger Things brought me to this gem. Such a good song!

great footage, thanks

The Runaways could rock it couldn't they? Great stuff.

I fucking love this song

I’m 57 loved them since day one!
