Demo version with Joan, Sandy, and Micki.

The thing I like the best in the demo version is Sandy's little drum solo she gets. I wish they would have kept in the studio version.

It's weird to hear Joan playing lead; you can tell she wasn't comfortable with it. Guess that's why Lita was brought in.

I wish Micki Steele had been brought back to the group after Cherie and Jackie quit. She could have replaced both of them.

Micki Steele - '' Gold Star & Born To Be Bad '' Demo Sessions were not good at all.

I agree Sandy & Joan were good but there is no way Micki Steele could have been the lead singer of The Runaways. No Way !

Thats why Micki was replaced by Cherie cause Micki just wasn't good at lead.

When Cherie left of course Joan took over lead and I couldn't be happier !!!

Micki's bass playing sounds pretty good.

I like her voice. (I remember on some earlier thread you didn't like Cherie's voice either, Donnie, but we won't go back there).

I'd always heard Steele was pushed out of the band because she wasn't pretty enough according to Kim Fowley. She looked too much like Janis Joplin. He wanted a "blond bombshell" to front the band.

haha... yeah, I said that cause Cherie & I were at odds at the time but I love Cherie in The Runaways and I really didn't follow her career over the years but I can honestly say I wouldn't want no one else on leads but Cherie or Joan.

Micki is a hell of a bass player I just don't think she was good at lead.

Yeah, I read where Kim made that statement about Micki but Micki is very pretty.

I guess in the end it just wouldn't have been the band we know and love today if Micki did lead and we would have no Cherie and I don't like that picture.

I'd have to say, i have a hard time listening to any Runaways music that doesn't have Cherie singing. =/

There are a few though with Joan singing lead i like. Other then that, i only listen to Cherie.

I'm very open when it comes to listening to the Runaways music. I like Cherie on lead and Joan. I do prefer Cherie, but Joan is just as good. It depends on what kinda a music you like: Cherie's songs tend to have a more melodic/glam/pop-ish to them. Joan is new wave/punk. I love them both! The only Runaways songs that I am still trying to get use to is "And Now...The Runaways" . To me, they sound like a completely different band when it comes to thier last studio album.

I think Joan's most incredible vocal performance is on the song "Waitin' for the Night." I've never heard her stretch out quite that much anywhere else.

I love "Waitin' For the Night"! My all time favorite Jett/Runaways song! "Wait For Me" is also a great one by her on lead. I love her screaming at the end
