Did the Runaways not write cherry bomb?
So_Do_You_Like_Stuff OP t1_iyao954 wrote
Yes, but The Runaways never had a number 1 album. That’s the difference.

"Cherry Bomb" didn't even chart as a single.

Yeah. They should have had one for “Queens of Noise” IMO, but I guess that wasn’t meant to be.

Indeed. They are a great band.

Another fun fact: they returned the towels they used for the cover of their first album to Macys. Someone out there might have bought them and had them in bathroom without knowing

Yep. That’s pretty funny.

I call BS. That's clearly Negasonic Teenage Warhead on the right.

If they made a Deadpool movie back then, she would have been a great choice for N.T.W.

She was always my favorite Go-Go.

They did it all. I don't think they were too picky when it came to drugs. Lol

That all could be said of Jane as well.

In 2001 I had a 90 day TDY (Temporary Duty) at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey. The Go-Go's came there and did a show. I was with a group of people who set up and tore down the stage. Then we stayed for the performance. Afterwards we met them and I got some autographs (don't know where they are now). I remember listening to them when I joined the Air Force in 1981 and then seeing them in 2001. To me, they didn't look like they were 20 years older (especially Jane).

Lol. Maybe they once got busy in a Burger King bathroom.

40+ years later and they're still the only all female band to play their own instruments and write their own songs to have a #1 album.
