Page "The Runaways" Paragraph 11

Disagreement between band members included the musical style ; Joan Jett wanted the band to take a musical change, shifting towards punk rock / glam rock while Lita Ford, backed by drummer Sandy West, wanted to continue playing hard rock / heavy metal music.

Neither would accept the other's point of view.

Finally, the band played their last concert on New Year's Eve 1978 at the Cow Palace near San Francisco and officially broke up in April 1979.
