Joan is one of the most humble and down to earth celebrities I’ve ever met. She’s so chill backstage but still puts on a show like she did so many years ago! 🖤

Love the Runaways, and Joan as a solo artist. My dad met her once and we still have some signed albums she gave him

As an actress, Jett appeared in an episode of the original "Walker, Texas Ranger" as an assassin, a sort of glamorous femme fatale. She was almost unrecognizable in the role.

I watched her perform yesterday at SoFi in LA, opening for Motley Crue and she rocked. Her music is like stadium punk rock. Really unique. Loud and raw. So badass. A true pioneer and icon.

Thank you for the video on Joan Jett. Growing up and learning to play in the South, we had no awareness about her struggles as an artist. At that time in the late 70s/early 80s we were into all kinds of music. I didn't know that much about Joan's music, but in 1980 the female singer in our band (we had female and male singers), her sister was supposedly good friends with Joan Jett, so I remember in 1980 playing 'I Love Rock n Roll' and 'Bad Reputation' because Heather (the singer) had those recordings. We had no idea about the disdain of Joan Jett! It is shocking, we loved those songs!!!! Long live Rock n Roll and Joan Jett!!!!

I saw Joan Jett and the Blackhearts in A little night club in New London Connecticut New Year’s Eve 1981! She put on a great show and in a small venue, well.. let’s just say, she rocked that joint severely !...

I'm a 76 year old white guy and I've always loved Joan Jett. Does that make me weird? I hope so.

She's great! My first concert was Joan Jett opening for Loverboy in 1982. Joan Jett flew in on a helicopter.

I was a fan of the Runaways back then. I will always be a Joan Jett fan.

Thing is without all that rejection we might not have gotten all this great music. Some people, and I think Joan Jett is in this category, just feed off it. Don't tell them no you can't, because they will just have to go out and prove you wrong. So, in a way, I want to thank all those who rejected her. We got a lot of great tunes out of it. lol

Joan Jett and i share the same birthday. Seotember 22 1958. A great day to be born. Rock on Ms Jett!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

When I lived in Houston, in the 80's, a buddy went to a small bar. There was a band there rehearsing for a big time gig. They gave out free demo cassette tapes. Yeah. It was Joan Jett. And I missed it! Holy Schniekie! I loved Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, and others. Buddy introduced me to Suzi Quattro, musically. WoW!

I never thought of her as a "female" rocker, just beautiful woman who writes GREAT music and kicks ass on stage

I thought I had an dentist appointment so I left school early so I’m able to watch this an hour earlier now

This is awesome info! I saw Joan Jett in Philly back in '85. Great stuff! 🎶

I've seen Joan in concert 3 times and every time I would be in the front row center stage. As I've grown older and have been looking like Jerry Garcia for awhile now, I got an acknowledgement from Joan at her last concert at the Surf Ballroom and Museum in Clear Lake, Iowa last year (2021).. It's great that she noticed me!

Joan Jett is awesome. Always has been! Thanks so much for this!

Will we ever get "Ten facts about the Doors"? I see people asking for it for more than a year... (I am one of them)

Unbelievable that no record label wanted her as she was emerging with the Blackhearts in the 80s. Screw those labels. Just think of all of the GARBAGE NOISE that's been released in the past two decades. Thank you Kenny Laguna!

She produced The Germs! My first guitar and amp were from Sears. God bless her!

I've never been into Punk (Blues woman here) but I have always liked, respected, and admired Joan for her work and the kewl person she is. 🌟

I like Joan Jett she is one of our Rock and Roll Legends I think she's awesome

Can you do 10 interesting facts about The Band?

Wheaton high school Randolph Road Rockville,silver springs Maryland.I love ❤️ Joan

I had no idea. But Im so glad that I know a bit more now. Great job Joan, great job.

I am so proud of Joan.

The problem with being a superfan like me, is that I learned absolutely nothing from this! But, kudos for highlighting my fave, Joanie Jett!

Blackheart Records formed 1980- hardly "Punk before its time"...more like 4 years after Punk started.

I never got into punk rock; it doesn't speak to my life, but I've always respected Joan Jett.

What a beautiful talented lady! LONG LIVE PUNK ROCK!!!!!

One of the most naturally beautiful women in Rock n Roll !

Thank you for an informative video

I first saw The Runaways at soundcheck and show at the old Atlanta Coliseum, 1978.

Love the old pictures

Big Orioles fan…love it!!!

SHE IS A ICON ♾️ MAKES YOU WRONG FOREVER !!! Philadelphia USA 🇺🇲 AMEN ☦️🙏😇❤️

Those sanpaku eyes. 👀

I loved punk rock scene of the 80''s. I thought Joan Jett was Tha Bomb! I wore my hair like her black shag hair cut, with the black eyliner, and black t-shirts and Levis. She was beautiful and tough, and a wicked guitar player and singer. She was one of the first women rockers to be on MTV, back in 1983.

Thank You I learned a lot. I always loved her energy as much as her voice

Saw her and the Blackhearts at the Hollywood Bowl, first row. What a night!!!

I really like the channel. Thanks.

If there wasn't a Suzi Quatro there wouldn't be a Joan Jett.

Always dug the Runaways growing up & still listen to them ❤️

Saw her 10 rows from the stage Philly Spectrum 1983 She opened for LOVERBOY She looked beautiful

She also was the best act on the stadium tour

Pat Smear Later went on to be a touring member of Nirvana and then moved onto the Foo Fighters. And he played with Joan Jett at the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame ceremonies. I’m surprised you didn’t mention that

Well Weird Al did a cover of "I Love Rock and Roll" so there's your legitimacy right there

I remember reading (Creem or Circus mag) that Joanie played pro women's softball in the brief time between the Runaways breakup and starting her solo career. She actually considered making pro sports her thing, due to the major label rejection the Blackhearts got. And about that - it's long been rumored the Runaways acrimonious split with their manager / svengali Kim Fowley was the principal reason no label wanted anything to do with any of the girls after the band's breakup. Lita had major difficulties getting a solo career up and running. Cherie struggled with substance abuse and even tried acting for a few years without much success. Jackie Fox and Vicky Blue both left the music industry altogether and went back to school. Sandy played in various local bar bands and ended up working in a veterinary hospital I think.

My first school dance was in 6th grade and my first song I danced to was i love rock n roll thanks Joan Jett and the black hearts I will always remember that

Good Presentation. I collect Music most on CD some videos on DVD or Blue ray. The Runaways and Joan Jett and Blackhearts are as complete as I have been able to find copies. The same for Hank Williams, The MonaLisa Twins, Laura Branigan, Twisted Sister, Cheap Trick, The Go-Go's and The Seekers plus over a dozen more groups and single performers. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts is one of very few Performers I have seen live along with the Chicago symphony orchestra and chorus. My Age is 70.

Probably wouldn't have seen this if I hadn't watched Eric Ambel chat with Otis Gibbs. Always turned her music up on the radio, but never bought an album. However, I do have Ch-ch, ch-ch, ch-ch, ch-ch Cherry Bomb! in my play list. ed* Great video.

She is a true rocker, one of a kind, musically passionately, very special kind of talent ❤😮yes I saw her live, and at that show she performed the Nazareth song ‘love hurts’ and it was awesome 😎

Can't stop great talent

Much love!! 💖💖💖💖🖤🖤🖤🖤

I'm 44 and a die herd fan of Joan Jett she's absolutely perfect and brilliant 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇬🇧🇸🇭🇭🇲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇿🇦🇻🇺🇦🇩🇯🇲🇮🇪🇵🇷🕎✡️♾️💟🇵🇷🙏🕊️♾️✡️💕🎇 girl power all the time my babies🇬🇧 now 45

Joan Jett Rocks!

Crimson and Clover was actually a cover song that Joan Jett covered from the original artists, which wasn't one of her own songs.

joan jett est une femme qui a Cu grâce a elle me faire aimer le rock and roll je suis fou amoureux d'elle

That's What you Are Joan,The American Dream!Thanks,Jcsx

Please do a video on the band Klaatu

She lived only a few miles from me growing up, though I never met her in Lansdowne, PA. before she moved away...

I didn't know a lot of this. Good for Ms Jett in standing up for herself and doing it for herself. Oh, and I love "Bad Reputation".

could we get a video on The Clash?

it's funny how "record a record" is the same word but pronounced differently

Stereo Heaven: Joan Jett singing into my left ear and Shirley Manson on the right both at full volume.

Ello from the Philippines!

LOVE Joan Jett 🥰

I Love Joan Jett Saw her w Crew Leppard Poison She was perfect

10 facts about oasis!!!!!

Joan Jett rocks , luv her

"Her received a massive amount of hate..."

Do the shocking blues

Fanny are the queens of rock-n-roll and whose talent buried the Runaways.

Amazing talent. She and I were born on the same day.

This icon has always been fierce. A voice like no other.

Epic

The thing about about Blackheart Records is that it maybe an indie but it was licensed around the world by Sony. Not really ‘punk.’

I saw Joan Jett in concert a couple years ago (opening for The Who) and she played I Love Rock n Roll and got to a part where the audience was supposed to sing, but no one sang along and it was kinda cringe ngl

Seemed like a nice girl. About 10-15 years , one afternoon Joan Jett and Pat Benatar sat down next to me at a bar in a Casino, they were playing at that night. They were "incognito" , so to speak, dress in regular clothes, no stage make-up. Just a couple girls about 50. I talked to them for about 15 minutes, never said anything about who they were, and they never let on. But I had to so see some family, so I couldn't stay and talk. As I left I said ," Y'all have a good show tonight" LOL . I really wanted to stay and hang out, but I just couldn't. Nice girls

I'm disappointed that you neglected to mention her appearance in an episode of Highlander: The Series(the first episode that was filmed). I mean, come on! Joan sword fighting!👍

Pat smear ❤️

I went to Triumph when I was 15 cuz I heard they'd have a cool light show. Then before they came in Joan Jett rocked the roof off the 17000 seater. Wow I was standing on my seat crushing on her. Some, boiled cuz her band had short hair and wore black. I didn't get that cuz my mom took me to Buffalo Philharmonic when I was 5. I judge artists on their MUSIC period. I was into Sabbath, Alice and Kiss so yeah I did like a fun show too. Anyway... Joan's attitude was NO reaction. I'm doing my thing. ALWAYS. She IS rocknroll.

A female rock and roll start. Girls should aspire to be one too.💜

Oh Joan , I never knew how much I was attracted to women until I seen you. Being a straight female with a huge disrespect for men, I decided to become celibate, and I have been for 16 years. But I would love you until the end of my days 💋🖤

I LOVE JJ and respect her accomplishments. One of the ten best guitarists of all time? C'mon now.......

Joan jet .love her playing her kiss my attitude. And she do t give a shit. About her bad reputation. I LOVE THIS WOMEN. From day one.

Joan Jett is a devoted Baltimore Orioles fan.

In 1992 I was setting up for a show one afternoon at Spinnakers night Club in Panama City Beach Florida, right next to Club LeVela. A girl with wet looking, disheveled hair and looking really high came up to me and started trying to chat me up, but I wasn't really interested. She just didn't look all that good. Found out later it was Joan Jett. I have the dubious, unfortunate distinction of probably being the only dude to ever turn down a chance to get it on bang a gong with a Rock and roll legend. True story.

Give me Chryssie Hynde , anyday..."Stand By You " ,

Well I already knew all that stuff but I will never not being entertained hearing about Joan Jett.

Nothing more hotter than Girls playing rock and roll

Numbuh 1.Joans Permanently There!Just Saying!t doesn't Matter cause if your a Chick and can Rock It,Always Soo Cool!Rock on Joan and Every Lady/ Girl That Rocks a Guitar,no Matter What!Jcsx

I completely understand her struggle with "Women in Rock and Roll". It's something to acknowledge and appreciate. That being said, If she had SUCKED, she would have proved them Right. She did NOT. She was/is great. She is a Rockin' Rocker. "Female Rocker" implies she is something different. A different Standard. Good is good, period! The Added Struggle, is Note Worthy. But while it was happening, the Whole Idea was, "It shouldn't be happening! Who gets a Rats Ass if I sit or stand when I pee?" There is a Parable about, "If the door is blocked, use a Window." Joan took it to and completely different level. She just blusted through the entire wall! ..... Do you know what that is called?......... Rock and Roll! Again, Joan Jett is a Rocker, NO Gender Identifier needed! Her Best selling song rates 3rd on my list of Rock songs, "I love Rock and Roll" Second is: ACDC's Thunderstruck First on my list: is Joan Jett, "I hate myself for Loving you." (I think was the video. Besides being a great musicians, she is a Stunningly Beautiful Woman with Gorgeous Eyes!)

I love Joan Jett ❤. When I saw her on MTV singing crimson and clover I was like who is that gorgeous sexy girl. I love her Jett black hair. I was about 21years old. I went to like 2 of her concert it was great I loved it 1 of the best time of my life she is a great singer. I DON'T KNOW Why some idiot hit with a bottle what a Loser he was fucking jerk he is..I like girl singers lot better I just turned 60 yrs old and I still love her ❤💕she is my favorite girl singer. I love you Joan Jett. Stay cool 😎forever..

Crimson and Clover was written and made a HUGE hit by TOMMY JAMES AND THE SHANDELS. Get your facts STRAIGHT.

I’ve NEVER heard Joan Jett referred to as “the QUEEN” of rock and roll. That’s ridiculous

In the 80s I was totally in love with Joan Jett. Thought she was so hot.
