I was not a member when you guys did the voting, but if i could place a vote, "Midnight Music" HAS to be on the list!!!
Er, by the way, I'm a musician ( Bassist )that has been teaching my 14 year old daughter Runaways songs on the guitar ( I thought i would start her off properly ).
She has a knack for rythem, and a great voice, so who knows? [img]smile.gif[/img]
Greetings Ampeg J and welcome to The Runaways message board!
Midnight Music is definitely a great song. It's cool you are teaching your daughter the Runaways songs!

Happy posting!

We have just started working on Midnight Music,it's going well, but we have a little work to do on it yet.
So far she knows Cherry Bomb, American Nights, Mama Weer All Crazee Now, Rock and Roll, and Queens of Noise. She can do the lead guitar for Queens of Noise too. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I really like 'Johnny Guitar'. I'm not sure why so many reviews say that it ***** ...
<font size="2" face="Arial,Helvetica">Agreee with you 100%. I didn't hear the Runaways until their stuff was re-released in 2003 (they broke up before I was even born) but QoN is by far their best recording - the guitar work is amazing. Unfortunately, it all went a bit downhill from there - Joan Jett is a great singer, but Cherie was better IMO.Originally posted by Chance_Lander:
"Midnight Music" has always been my favorite Runaways track. "Cherry Bomb" is magnificent of course, but there's something about "Midnight Music" that I really love. "Queens" is their best album, too, IMO. I still remember clearly the day I bought it in February '77. I was a massive fan, loved the first album, and was ecstatic to find they'd topped it and expanded their range a bit on the second go round.
It's a crying shame that Cherie hasn't put out a full album for 25 years - I'd love to see her get a new band together and rip up the stage with her brand of zero-bullsh*it rock 'n' roll once more. I can't imagine there being any shortage of musicians willing to work with her.

It is a magnificent song! [img]smile.gif[/img]
I went to a music store today, and played Midnight Music on a Fender 12 String Acoustic.
Almost made me want to buy the darned thing! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I'm with you on that.. if Cherie ever needs a Bass player, i know a good one. [img]wink.gif[/img]
I really should get a guitar. I gotta get myself organazized... [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Hehe, I just joined Hostboard a few hours ago. This is Ampeg J's daughter [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I *roughly* learned "Midnight Music" and "I Love Playing With Fire" now. I want one of those Jackson guitars...my pickups aren't up to par, and Jacksons are nice anyway.
