That is great ! Thank you posting.

I have the highest respect for Joan Jett, the true Queen of Rock and Roll.

Great! Thanks for posting.

Great, can't wait to pick it up. Our band was thrilled to have Rodney Bingenheimer play our tribute to Joan right into "Any Weather" a couple of weeks ago on his Rodney on the Roq show.

Thank you so much for posting!!!
A new album, this is so great, I cant believe!
Love to hear her anytime, particularly the interpretation
of `Love Hurts` from the Everly Brothers ', such a great song...
and 'I hate myself for loving you', supported by Mick Taylor...

She's so underrated, IMHO.

Yeah! New Joan Jett, can't wait to hear it. I liked Sinner and Fetish so I'm hoping this will be a nice follow-up.

You are so correct!

Very very few have done what Joan has done, for as long as
Joan has done it. She started rocking for a living when she
was only 16 and she has never stopped doing what she does...
and along the way what kind of BS has been said about her?
What kind of TMZ stories have we heard? NONE. The silence is deafening.

I respect that so much.

When you consider all the other fools in show biz, and all
the stupid crap they are always doing... publicity pranks,
crotch shots, DUIs, nasty divorces, twerking like strippers,
dating the right people, BS TV shows... all that stupid crap...

Joan has never done any of that nonsense.


Joan just keeps playing her rock and roll, and keeps on keeping on,
and she is still smiling, still snarling, still grinnin still having
a great time doing it. She doesnt get in trouble, her tour bus doesnt
get blah blah balh... there is no blah blah blah... she is just awesome.

I have seen her live 5-10 times, but not for a while, she hasnt been
close enough for over 5 years... but I would go see her in an instant,
her and her band rock out. She is the Queen of rock and roll, top of the heap.

Hopefully Joan and The Blackhearts will tour the CD in more cities.

Did I mention I think Joan Jett is AWESOME!!! ?

She has also covered some Stones songs, such as Star, Star. For some reason, no one likes her version but I do.

Me too. Saw it live.

all of her albums are good

The CD has just arrived by royal mail, and I must say: WOW!
Joan sounds so great as ever before! Who, like me, love to surround
with her old songs of the 80s, will be thrilled by this album!
Songs like `Bad as we can be` or `Any weather` are `Bad reputation` or
`Hate myself for loving you` equal in every way. It reminds in a very
special way of all the other great albums like `Good Music` or, of course,
`I love Rockn Roll`.
All in all: a very successful wonderful album, that ably rocks!
Other comments, please!

And here comes Joan:

Yeah, she really rocks and rocks and rocks! Its incredible that she is already 55 years old, sorry, young! From my point of view: Unvarnished is the best album ever. Cool, full of experiences, loud. I like it very much
Maybe you can load it up here, Mimi?

Love hurts - when you know what I mean

Arguably the Best female rocker alive. Arguably the best female live rock act available. A true national treasure. She kills. Peace, Out! Release The Kraken!

I would like to, but I have no idea how...

This is a true tragedy

I heard his latest record about a week ago, and I liked it.

All very very good news... thanks for the thread, post and video!!

I love rock n roll and Joan Jett!!... and THE STONES!!

JOAN JETT!!

Very nice album. I like her message, besides the straight forward Rock and Roll.

Yep, love the new album. Some very poignant lyrics, too, about the passing of her parents. Way to go, Joan!

What a bunch of crap

Thanks for your valuable insight.

a very enjoyable album

A load of old bollocks.

Joan Jett rocks.
She always has and she always will.

[music.yahoo.com]

Joan Jett was asked not to appear in the float sponsored by South Dakota in the annual Thanksgiving Day Parade, because of her involvement with PETA, or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), and because she is a vegetarian. SD felt that her views were not compatible with those of the cattle industry in SD. She will, however, be asked to perform in another float in that parade.

I have always liked her because of her beauty and because she is a great Stones fan. She has covered Star, Star , for instance.
