Joan Jett in Internet
| With Laguna's assistance, Jett formed the Blackhearts.<br />She placed an ad in the L.A.<br />Weekly looking for three good men.<br />John Doe of X sat in on bass for the auditions held at S.I.R.<br />studios in Los Angeles.<br />He mentioned a local bass player, Gary Ryan, that had recently been crashing on his couch.<br />Ryan was part of the L.A.<br />punk scene and had played bass with local artists Top Jimmy and Rik L.<br />Rik.<br />He had been a huge fan of the Runaways and Jett for years.<br />Jett recognized him at the audition and he was in.<br />Gary recommended guitarist Eric Ambel, who was also at the time part of Rik L.<br />Rik.<br />The final addition to the original Blackhearts was drummer Danny Furious O'Brien, formerly of the infamous San Francisco band The Avengers.<br />This line-up played several gigs at the Golden Bear and Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood before embarking on their first European tour which consisted of an extensive tour of the Netherlands, and a few key shows in England including the Marquee in London.<br />Upon returning to the States, Jett, Ryan, and Ambel moved to Long Beach, N.Y.<br />O'Brien stayed behind in England to pursue other interests.<br />Auditions were set up and Lee Crystal, formerly of The Boyfriends and`Sylvain Sylvain, became the new drummer.<br />Joan Jett and the Blackhearts then toured throughout the States and built quite a following in New York.<br />Jett and Laguna soon used their personal savings to press up copies of the Joan Jett album and set up their own system of independent distribution, sometimes selling the albums out of the trunk of Laguna's Cadillac at the end of each concert.<br />Laguna was unable to keep up with demand for her album.<br />Eventually, old friend and founder of Casablanca Records, Neil Bogart, made a joint venture with Laguna and signed Jett to his new label, Boardwalk Records and re-released the Joan Jett album as Bad Reputation.<br />After a year of touring and recording, The Blackhearts recorded a new album entitled I Love Rock N' Roll for the label.<br />During the recording process, Ambel was replaced by local guitarist Ricky Byrd.<br />Eric went on to a successful career as a founding member of the Del-Lords, and later worked as a producer of a wide variety of bands.<br />He currently plays with his band, The Yayhoos, and was a member of The Dukes, Steve Earle's band from 2000 to 2005.<br />With Byrd on guitar, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts recorded their hit album.<br />The new single was a re-recording of the title track, I Love Rock N' Roll, which in the first half of 1982 was number one on the Billboard charts for seven weeks in a row.<br />It is now Billboard’s #28 song of all time.
