Free Music Notes for Live in JapanFree Music Review: LIVE AND REAL..... ! Hit: 5 Stars
The editors review here claims that this album came out after Cherie and Jackie left the band, but that is wrong.
Cherie Currie was still on lead vocals at the time this album was recorded, and she delivers them with more intensity than you will hear from her anywhere else. It's too bad she left the band, because she had some of the most intense vocals of any female rocker I've ever heard... and so hawwwt too. AGAIN... she IS on this record.
Joan Jett of course gets a few front appearances here too, but she was not at the helm just yet. Waitin' For The Night, the groups next album would be the first with Joan Jett on lead vocals. She has a rockin' sexy voice too, as can be heard on any Runaways album, but I gotta say that Cherie's voice is way more powerful, in that sleaze rock sort of way... you can't F' wit' it!
Anyway... Whats best about Live In Japan, is that it really lets you understand that these chicks, literally knew how to take what they had and make it rock. The magic was beyond studio tricks. These chicks had rock and roll in their guts. YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH!
And a God Bless to Sandy West. Rockin on...
Free Music Review: the runaways finest moment Hit: 5 Stars
The runaways were with fanny at the forefront of true all girl rock bands. And by the time of this one they were really getting to be as good as any male band. This live cd should be in any rock and roll fans library. In fact it's great melodic metal/hard rock done with true fever. Songs like "gettin hot" , 'wild thing" and other songs slam right into your face with fierce all girl power. Back then alot of people were angry saying that this band shouldn't even exist! But they really proved that even live they were as good as any rock band out there. It's well recorded and tightly played. Soon after this the lead singer would depart which was a shame. But drugs suck in any decade , they take away the future and for the runaways they had only two years left really at this point. And it was a very good band still but this was a powerhouse that really klicked musically. So grab this one and any runaways disc for that matter. RIP sandy west.
Free Music Review: Wrong Cover Hit: 5 Stars
Okay I love the Runaways and I love this album, but I'm shocked that no one has said anything about Amazon posting the wrong cover!!! They're showing the cover for Waiting For The Night, which came out AFTER Cherie and Jackie left the band. But yeah, Live In Japan is a great album and Cherie was an amazing performer. I wish she hadn't gotten hooked on drugs and ruined her acting career; I think she was good and actually could've been successful.
Free Music Review: In honor of Sandy West and because The Runaways rock! Hit: 5 Stars
My review is in honor of Sandy West the drummer for The Runaways who passed away on October 21, 2006. I also have been a fan of The Runaways since they began. I grew up with them - have all their albums and still listen to their music. For me, it is the kind of music I can put on and instantly feel energized and alive. I love Queen's of Noise, California, American Nights and of course, Cherry Bomb from this cd.
Free Music Review: I love the CD! Hit: 5 Stars
It's authentic; it's raw; it's the real thing. It's the Runaways at their peak. I play this CD anytime I want to encourage my own raw, heartfelt, super confident feminist energy.
