![]() ![]() The song is one of the hidden gems of it’s era. It’s as precision tooled as the layers of synth and the smoothed out low end riff. The ‘Ow’ before the solo so casually tossed out there it makes the whole thing look incidental. Those ‘Uhs’ that punctuate the riffs from the verses are pure rock and roll theater. She hangs with Alice, she fills in for Kurt, she toasts Lemmy and she still slays live. Joan Jett is still the coolest of the cool. This is a teen anthem for the not to be messed with. That slide guitar riff and that down beat delivery. She was the coolest rock star I’d ever seen. Joan’s 1988 album Up Your Alley found it’s way into my record collection pretty close to it’s release. This was the era ex-Runaways band mate Lita Ford was making 80’s heavy metal ballads with Ozzy Osbourne and getting her Deadly Kissed*. “Hey Jack, it’s a fact they’re talkin’ in town I turn my back and you’re messin’ around I’m not really jealous, don’t like lookin’ like a clown”Īfter The Runaways, after Bad Reputation, Joan had already had some hits in her own right (including the megahit I Love Rock And Roll). ![]() She’s beaming this down from Planet Cool for the rest of us to help us get through our own messy stuff. The idea that anyone would stand Joan Jett up is a scientific impossibility. “Midnight getting uptight but where are you? You said you’d meet me but it’s quarter to two” It’s slow and low and sliding around like unsecured ballast in a small fishing boat’s galley during a storm. And yet the real killer bit is the guita… is that a guitar? Is that just a guitar? Is that a synth set to Bassoon brass FX played through a guitar? Why does that axe sound so horney? The effects of Rodney Bingenheimer’s English Disco echoing up through the decades and into 1988. Those slowed down 70’s glam rock drums and hand claps are pure glitter scene. Live tracks, etc.How can something so 80’s, so smoothed off and over produced sound so gutteral? The music discographies on this site are works in progress.

Killer tunes, great beats, awesome guitar player. ![]() ![]() Any rock fan would love this album.įor anyone thinking about buying Joan Jett, I have to say. Great songs like "Victim Of Circumstance" (her best song ever) are the reasons why! There is a reason why it is her biggest album. Has anyone heard of the band, The Lost? Joan Jett is the closest relation to them I could fine here on H. Joan kicks! I'd love to trade licks with her on guitar, and then trade licks with her in bed, sexy babe with alot of talent! The album is s/t, and some songs are called "Mindblower", Bijou Dreams", and "Laughing Boy." It's good guitar rock and I was wondering if anybody else has this album? She played guitar on a song for their album. You'd best be female then word has it she has no interest in anything hetero. It has every kind of songs: fast song (tulane), not fast songs (desire and play that song again). The song "I hate myself for loving you" is a very good classic. The song "just like in the movies" makes me turn the volume of my radio really loud. "Up your alley" is an excellent album and Joan Jett is definitely the lady of rock and roll. I'm from South America.īuenisimo!! El disco mas rockero y cañero de Joan Jett. En mi opinión está a un nivel por encima del resto. ![]()
