GO! GO! GO!

i'm seeing her in chicago just a couple days after her MPLS show.

her opening act is way sexy too.

it's dumb that she's not in the RNRHOF.

I didn't realize that. Where's she gonna be?

Lately, I've been thinking that Pink really, really, really wants to be Joan Jett. She's trying so hard, but it's not cutting it for me. That feeling was cemented when I saw the NFL ads with Pink singing a JJ song, and it just made me

Whos this opening act?

eagles of death metal

TommyRoss said:

first ave.


oh dear lawd, pink is definitely NOT hardcore like joan. it's a wonder she's even attempting. joan's shoes are rather hard to fill/wear as it is...

Courtney tried to "joan " up some of her vocals on the last cd. Even that shitty band she put together was her attempt at a Runaways-looking band.

origmnd said:

you think? i thought courtney was trying to be all celtic/faerie/stevie nicks-ish with her solo album (though mostly she was being a junkie). she had that electric violinist and everyone wore lots of fringey stuff...looked less like the runaways and more like a womyn's drumming circle gone berzerk.

Anx said:

that last song on AS was all stevie nicks
and CS was that Fleetwooc Mac attempt.


a few songs on AS had joan-esque screaming

origmnd said:

yeah, celebrity skin was supposed to be her fleetwood mac/california chick record....but i still don't hear the joan influence on america's sweetheart specifically. both joan and courtney sing full throat, they're both rock chicks...i think joan has a much more controlled voice, ESPECIALLY compared to the (god bless that) mess that was america's sweetheart.

Anx said:

theres 2 maybe 3 songs that have some joan but i havent heard the cd in awhile so i dont remember which. i dont want to hear
that noise of a cd at the moment.

origmnd said:

to be honest, there are parts of america's sweetheart where i think she sounds like tom petty.

Anx said:

not vocally, but one song is a ripoff of a petty song

origmnd said:

i know what you mean. but in addition, i meant vocally.

When?

minneapolisgenius said:

October 23, First Ave - Main Room.

TommyRoss said:

Isn't the Invasion around that time?

minneapolisgenius said:

That's the Monday after.

TommyRoss said:

yup.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

It's on a Monday? I have no clue.

Damn, I recall running a thread about my love for Joan and also way digging her band The Runaways on here quite some time ago. What I got was hardly nobody on here either didn't know who she was or didn't dig her at all. I know Joan's not into men sexually, which is a fucking drag. But, I've had a crush on here since I was 8. The girl has to have the most prettiest eyes in the music biz and she writes better rock songs than The Stokes and The Vines and Wolfmother all put together. The woman is a straight Los Angeles legend.

She looked great on Craig fergueson last night. Anyone know where AC/DC video being shown? They showed a clip last night but i never saw it. hAs Carmen in it also.

I love me some Joan Jett. She's near the top of my list of artists I want to see live.

I hear "I Hate Myself For Loving You" pretty often and I just love it. Very poppy rock but hard.

you'll love her when you see her - she's definitely a crowdpleaser kinda gal. i saw her in central park on the 4th of july and she totally kicked my butt.

Anx said:

You're going next month too, huh?

GangstaFam said:

ayup. between saint joan and my official rockstar boyfriend of 2006 being part of the opening act, there's no way i could miss it!

Eagles of Death Metal?
