Fox estava preparada para entrar adiantada na Universidade da Califórnia em Los Angeles, para estudar matemática quando surgiu a oportunidade de se juntar à banda de rock The Runaways.
Fox foi "descoberta" dançando no Starwood por Rodney Bingenheimer, o
auto-proclamado "prefeito da Sunset Strip", que a apresentou ao produtor
e empresário Kim Fowley. Ela inicialmente fez uma audição para a posição de guitarrista principal, mas a banda contratou Lita Ford
em vez disso. Algum tempo depois, ela foi chamada de volta e ofereceu a
posição de baixista na banda, que ela aceitou. Fox juntou-se às
Runaways em 1975, pouco antes do seu décimo sexto aniversário.
(...)
Em julho de 2015, Fox alegou que ela tinha sido violada por Kim Fowley, no
último dia de 1975, numa festa de Ano Novo depois de uma apresentação
das Runaways num clube de Orange County. Com dezasseis anos na época, Fox teria recebido methaqualone ou Quaaludes de um homem que ela achava que era um roadie
e enquanto estava incapacitada, Fowley alegadamente violou-a, em
frente das suas companheiras de banda (Currie, West e Jett; Ford não
estava presente na festa).
Thomas Matthew DeLonge Jr. (Poway, 13 de dezembro de 1975), mais conhecido como Tom Delonge, é um músico americano e ex-guitarrista/vocalista da banda de punk rock Blink 182, bem como também da banda de rock alternativo Angels & Airwaves.
Frank Edwin Wright III (Frankfurt, 9 de dezembro de 1972), conhecido pelo nome artístico de Tré Cool, é um músico norte-americano nascido na Alemanha. Ele é o atual baterista da banda de punk rockGreen Day e juntou-se à banda após o baterista original, e seu aluno de
bateria, Al Sobrante, sair para completar os estudos. Ele também sabe
tocar guitarra e acordeão.
Iniciou a sua carreira musical como integrante do Bromley Contingent, um grupo de seguidores dos Sex Pistols, que incluía membros dos The Clash e Siouxsie and the Banshees. Billy uniu-se a Tony James (que depois foi para o Sigue Sigue Sputnik e Sisters of Mercy), ambos faziam parte da primeira formação da lendária e famosa banda punk Chelsea, logo depois deixaram os Chelsea e formaram a banda Generation X, cujo nome veio de um livro sobre a Cultura Rock da Juventude dos Anos 60. O Generation X que, além do próprio Idol na guitarra e voz, trazia Tony James no baixo e John Towe na bateria, faz sucesso em Londres em 1979.
Após três discos lançados, o grupo acaba em 1980 e já no ano
seguinte, Billy Idol resolve investir numa carreira a solo. Mudou-se em
definitivo para os Estados Unidos e ao lado do respeitadíssimo guitarrista Steve Stevens, lançou grandes hits
como "Dancing With Myself", "Mony Mony", "White Wedding", "Rebel Yell",
"Eyes Without a Face", "Flesh For Fantasy", "Sweet Sixteen", "Don't
Need a Gun" e "Cradle Of Love".
Em 19 de janeiro de 1991, Billy Idol fez a sua primeira apresentação no Brasil, na segunda edição do Rock In Rio. No dia seguinte, ele fez outra apresentação no Festival, que foi decidida em cima da hora pela produção, para substituir Robert Plant (ex-Led Zeppelin),
que tinha cancelado, na véspera, a sua apresentação. A justificativa: a
Guerra do Golfo. Idol não deixou a desejar e protagonizou,
novamente, uma das melhores apresentações daquele festival.
O cantor permaneceu um longo tempo em silêncio na década de 90, onde lançou apenas o álbum "Cyberpunk".
Em 2002, ele gravou o acústico “Storytellers” para o canal de televisão
norte-americano VH-1 e em 2005 volta aos tops com o álbum Devil's
Playground.
Em 2008 lançou o CD e DVD
"The Very Best Of Billy Idol: Idolize Yourself", uma coletânea dos
principais sucessos e duas faixas novas, John Wayne e New Future Weapon.

Although Outlandos d'Amour received mixed reviews upon its release, it has since been regarded as one of the strongest debut albums. Rolling Stone ranked it as the 38th best debut album of all time and the 428th greatest album of all time.
Background and recording
With a budget of £1,500 borrowed from their manager, Miles Copeland (brother of drummer Stewart), the Police recorded Outlandos d'Amour at Surrey Sound Studios
in an intermittent fashion over six months, with the band recording
whenever the studio had free time or another band's sessions were
cancelled.
Miles Copeland had promised to pay Surrey Sound £2,000 upon completion
of the recording, but did not give them the full amount until much
later.
Miles occasionally visited the
studio during recording, and he reacted to what he heard from the band
with vehement derision. However, upon hearing "Roxanne" he had the opposite reaction and took the recording to A&M Records
the following day, where he persuaded the record label to release it as
a one-off single. Although the single failed to chart, A&M agreed
to give the band a second chance with "Can't Stand Losing You".
At first, A&M proposed the band create an improved mix of the song,
but after five attempts admitted that it could not improve upon the
band's mix, and released the original mix for the single. When it became
the band's first hit, the label quickly approved the release of the
by-then finished album.
Miles had originally wanted to name the album Police Brutality. However, after hearing "Roxanne" and then envisioning a more romantic image for the band, he proposed Outlandos d'Amour
instead. This title is a loose French translation of "Outlaws of Love",
with the first word being a combination of the words "outlaws" and
"commandos", and "d'Amour" meaning "of love".
Music and lyrics
Outlandos d'Amour, while at times incorporating reggae, pop and other elements of what would eventually become the band's definitive sound, is dominated by punk influences. This is evident on the opening track "Next to You", despite it essentially being a love song. Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers initially felt the lyrics were neither aggressive nor political enough for their style at the time, but bassist and vocalist Sting
was adamant about keeping the song as it was. "Next to You" includes a
slide guitar solo by Summers, which Copeland initially dismissed as "old
wave".
The second track is the reggae-influenced "So Lonely". Sting has said he used Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry"
as the musical basis for the song, while the lyrics in its verses were
recycled from "Fool in Love", a song he originally wrote for his earlier
band Last Exit.
The song itself, about someone who is lonely after suffering a broken
heart, was seen as ironic by a large segment of the band's listeners.
Sting disagreed with this sentiment, saying, "No, there's no irony
whatsoever. From the outside it might look a bit strange, being
surrounded by all this attention and yet experiencing the worst lonely
feeling ... but I do. And then suddenly the attention is withdrawn a
half an hour later. You're so isolated ..."
"Roxanne" was written by Sting after visiting a red-light district near the band's hotel in Paris.
The Police had been staying there in October 1977 to perform at the
nearby Nashville Club. The song's title comes from the name of the
character in the play Cyrano de Bergerac, an old poster of which was hanging in the hotel foyer. Sting had originally conceived the song as a bossa nova, although Stewart Copeland has been credited for suggesting its final rhythmic form as a tango.
During recording, Sting accidentally sat down on a piano keyboard in
the studio, resulting in the atonal chord and laughter preserved at the
beginning of the track. The Police were initially reluctant about the
song, but Miles Copeland was immediately enthusiastic after hearing it.
The remaining two tracks on the first side of the album are "Hole
in My Life", another reggae-influenced song by Sting, and "Peanuts", a
composition written by Stewart Copeland and Sting about Rod Stewart.
The lyrics were meant as an expression of disappointment on Sting's
part towards his former idol, of whom he said: "I used to be a great fan
of his but something happened to him. I hope I don't end up like that."
Having since experienced the celebrity lifestyle himself, he has said
he no longer identifies with the song's lyrical content and has come to
view Stewart in a different light.
"Can't Stand Losing You" begins side two of the original LP.
Written and composed by Sting, the song is about a young lover being
driven to suicide following a breakup. In a 1993 interview with The Independent,
he described the lyrics as "juvenile", saying that "teenage suicide ...
is always a bit of a joke"; he also claimed to have written the lyrics
in only five minutes.
The following track, "Truth Hits Everybody", is a punk-influenced
song. After that is "Born in the 50's", which details life as a
teenager during the 1960s. "Be My Girl—Sally" is a medley of a
half-finished song by Sting and an Andy Summers poem about a blow-up doll.
This leads into the semi-instrumental closer, "Masoko Tanga", the only
song on the album to not become a staple of the band's live
performances.
Two other songs from these sessions were excluded from Outlandos d'Amour but released as B-sides
for two of its singles: "Dead-End Job", a song credited to Sting and
Copeland, on the B-side of "Can't Stand Losing You"; and "No Time This
Time" by Sting, on the B-side of "So Lonely". The latter was
subsequently included on the band's second album Reggatta de Blanc.
Em 2004, Kiedis lançou a sua autobiografia intitulada Scar Tissue, e em 2009, foi homenageado pelo 5th Annual MusiCares MAP Fund Benefit Concert em Los Angeles, Califórnia.
Sandy West (Long Beach, California, July 10, 1959 – San Dimas, California, October 21, 2006) was an American singer, drummer and songwriter. She was one of the founding members of the Runaways, the first teenage all-girl hard rock band to record and achieve widespread commercial success in the 1970s.
Early life
Sandy (born Sandy Pesavento) was born in Long Beach, California.
When she was 9 years old, her grandfather bought her a drum kit, and
being an avid fan of rock and roll acts of the 1960s and 1970s, she
began practicing rock music immediately and regularly. In 4th, 5th, and
6th grade, she was the drummer in the Prisk Elementary School orchestra.
She proved to have a natural talent and quickly became a proficient
drummer.
By the age of 13, she was the only girl in local bands who played
at teenage parties. West attended Edison High school in Huntington
Beach California with actor Willie Aames, playing drums in school bands
as Sandy Pesavento, one of those bands was Witchcraft that featured
Jimmy "Trash" Decker that later went on to form the punk band The Crowd
in 1977.
Driven
by her ambition to play professionally, she sought out fellow musicians
and other industry contacts in southern California with the idea of
forming an all-woman rock band. In 1975, she met producer Kim Fowley, who gave her the phone number of another young musician in the area, guitarist Joan Jett.
Joan and Sandy met shortly thereafter. The women subsequently played
for Fowley, who agreed to help them find other female musicians to round
out the band, most notably Lita Ford and Cherie Currie.
Post-Runaways years
After
four years of recording and touring the world, the Runaways disbanded
in April 1979. West made varied attempts to continue her career as a
professional musician, playing with other acts in southern California,
releasing a solo EP, The Beat is Back,
and forming the Sandy West Band. None of these ventures produced
significant income, so West was forced to spend most of her
post-Runaways years working outside music. West later claimed that
ex-Runaways' manager/producer Kim Fowley had not paid the members of the
band what they were entitled to. "I owe him my introduction to the
music business but he's also the reason I'm broke now," West said.
West appeared in Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways, a documentary about the Runaways produced and directed by the band's former bassist Victory Tischler-Blue,
providing some of the more poignant interview segments, describing the
things she had to do post-Runaways for money. She worked mostly in
construction, and spent a small amount of time as a bartender and a
veterinary assistant.
In other parts of the Edgeplay interviews, she alludes to having
engaged in criminal activity in order to make ends meet (e.g., she
describes how she had to break someone's arm for money they owed). West
spent time in jail on multiple occasions following her career in the
Runaways, which she alluded to in Edgeplay.
Personal life and death
According to her bandmate Lita Ford, West was lesbian. West died on October 21, 2006, at the age of 47, from lung cancer diagnosed a year before. West was never married and had no children.
Tire suas mãos de mim Eu não pertenço a você Não é me dominando assim Que você vai me entender Eu posso estar sozinho Mas eu sei muito bem aonde estou Você pode até duvidar Acho que isso não é amor
Será só imaginação? Será que nada vai acontecer? Será que é tudo isso em vão? Será que vamos conseguir vencer?
Nos perderemos entre monstros Da nossa própria criação Serão noites inteiras Talvez com medo da escuridão Ficaremos acordados Imaginando alguma solução Pra que esse nosso egoísmo Não destrua o nosso coração
Será só imaginação? Será que nada vai acontecer? Será que é tudo isso em vão? Será que vamos conseguir vencer?
Brigar pra quê, se é sem querer? Quem é que vai nos proteger? Será que vamos ter de responder Pelos erros a mais, eu e você?
C. J. Ramone é o pseudónimo de Christopher Joseph Ward (Nova Iorque, 8 de outubro de 1965), é um músico norte-americano, conhecido como baixista da banda de punk rockRamones, na qual entrou em substituição de Dee Dee Ramone após a gravação de Brain Drain (1989) e onde ficou até o fim da banda, em 1996. Assim como o seu antecessor Dee Dee, CJ também atuou como vocalista em algumas músicas, vindo a gravar Strengh to Endure, Cretin Family e Main Man, entre outras, além de dizer One, two, three, four!
em shows da banda, para introduzir as músicas. Além disso, ficou
responsável por cantar todas as músicas que o seu antecessor cantava.
Lita nasceu em Londres mas tem ascendência italiana. Ela mudou-se, com a família, para os Estados Unidos, ainda em criança. Esta juntou-se à banda feminina The Runaways aos 16 anos de idade e, após o término do grupo em 1979, iniciou a sua carreira a solo. Os seus dois primeiros álbuns tiveram um sucesso bastante discreto.
Douglas Glen Colvin, mais conhecido por Dee Dee Ramone (Fort Lee, 18 de setembro de 1951 - Los Angeles, 5 de junho de 2002), foi baixista e compositor duma das bandas mais influentes da história do punk rock, a banda norte-americana Ramones. Dee Dee passou a sua infância na Alemanha devastada pela II Guerra Mundial, tendo mudado para Nova Iorque com 14 anos de idade, acompanhado da sua irmã, da sua cadela Kessie
e da mãe, quando esta se separou do seu pai, um militar americano que
trabalhava na fronteira com a RDA. Douglas Colvin era filho de uma
cidadã alemã e de um oficial americano que trabalhava na fronteira com a República Democrática Alemã .
Já em Nova Iorque conheceu Joey Ramone, Tommy Ramone e Johnny Ramone e juntos eles formaram os Ramones.
Dee Dee tinha dificuldade para tocar e cantar ao mesmo tempo, por isso
quase não cantava, mas contribuía para a banda com muitas letras. No
meio da turnê do álbum Brain Drain, Dee Dee saiu da banda, alegando estar cansado das turnês exaustivas (anos depois admitiu estar a abusar de heroína e outras drogas), e embarcou numa curta carreira a solo como rapper, quando adotou o nome artístico de Dee Dee King. O álbum de rap lançado por Dee Dee foi rejeitado pela crítica e pelo público, fazendo-o logo regressar ao punk rock. Dee Dee continuou a gravitar ao redor dos Ramones, contribuindo com letras e músicas para os discos seguintes.
