I think it would be great if there was a tribute album out there for The Runaways! Even though half the songs probably would suck (like most tribute albums). So how do Tribute albums happen? Is the artist the one who initiates it? Is it the fans? Can the fans of The Runaways get something like this started?

The prospective producer would probably have to obtain the rights and then make deals with the prospective talent.
I'd like to see it happen. Who would you like to see doing the Runaways songs?
I could see P!NK doing Born To Be Bad!

Maybe Kim Fowley would want to do it! There are the obvious ones....The Donnas, but sometimes I guess they have people you wouldn't think of participating. Just as long as they dont use any pop princesses of today.

The Donna's are abunch of twats......
When , I saw the donna's back in 1997 before anyone knew who they were they played to a house of 17 people including myself so I talked to them after the show and told the donna's they kinda reminded me of the runaways .....
The donna's told me ewww we ''HATE'' the runaways and we ''HATE'' Joan Jett....
It was years later they open for Joan Jett and said they like the runaways.
What a bunch of TWATS to sell out and kiss a$$ cause your opening for Joan Jett....
I could just hear The Donna's and Miley Cyrus ruin The Runaways music .

Just as long as they dont use any pop princesses of today. I like the Donnas. The Bangles did a good job on Queens Of Noise at that Daisy Rock tribute to the Runaways. Some others I'd like to see doing Runaways songs...Patty Smyth, Bjork, Evanescence, Garbage, Blondie and Heart. |

Uuum, The Donnas played Sandy's memorial Tribute show- so did the Bangles. (sans Micki Steele) The FIRST time they did Queens Of Noise. Gee Sunnyday- you weren't there?

Like I said before The Donna's suddenly became fans of The Runaways & Joan Jett & The Blackhearts after they open for Joan ......
But before that those twats talked smack about The Runaways & Joan and I will never forgive them .....
NEVER , NEVER , NEVER !!!

Ok that's pure ignorance about what the Donnas did. I think care bears on fire would doa good cover, I'm not that fan of them but they're really good the only song I like of them is ''barbie eated a sandwich'' just because of the tittle...Other band that would be good (in my opinion) is Yeah Yeah Yeahs...

I think Blackmail? I love the way how Karen screams lol. You Drive Me Wild or I wanna Be Where The Boys Are. Think if they put those songs to yeah yeah yeahs for a tribute to the band, they won't get dissapointed with Karen.....
What songs do you think that Karen would do a really great job with?

I've seen the Donna's a couple times. Never been a big fan of their music but I think there are obvious similarities between them and The Runaways. I think think when they first started off they were probably always being compared to The Runaways and even accused of coping The Runaways shtick, so they felt they had to distance themselves from Joan and the gang, and the only we they felt they could do it was say they didn't like them.
Now that they have grown up they have changed their message. I think the Donnas sound more like the Ramones than they do The Runaways. I'll have to say that the Donnas lead guitar player is amazing though, the problem with their music is every song sounds the same, and not in a good AC/DC kind of way.
The best female bands to cover the Runaways would be bands like L7 and the Lunachicks, Red Aunts, Babes in Toyland.....unfortunately they aren't around anymore.

Now were talking baby , Now were talking ....... L7 - I can not speak highly enough for these girls . The many , many times I seen L7 in concert and even saw them with The Ramones once . The many , many times I was broke and they would put me on the guest list as I traveled city to city to see them and party in their hotel rooms.... Oh the good times I had with L7 !!! I will never forget the time another Jetthead & I had to use the baseball bat on some rednecks in Panama City Beach , FL cause they wouldn't leave Suzi Gardner alone in her hotel room and she was all alone so I called her and told her we were coming with the baseball bat. We got those rednecks that night didn't we Suzi ? LMFAO Here is a couple of Photos that I took of L7 at Jack Rabbits in Jacksonville , Florida in 2000.   |
