  • Greg from British ColumbiaDevilled Egg Drive
  • Fyodor from Denver, CoSuzi had a brother who played progressive rock under his own name, though I forget his name right off (and too lazy to look him up...)...
  • Rob from Vancouver, Canadayeah...pinky was hotter, and richie cunningham was an underrated axeman.....gotta go...need more mind numbing drugs
  • Dotcom from Omaha, Nei think Joan Jett has always been pretty open of her idolization of Suzi Quatro.
  • Howard from St. Louis Park, MnI remember hearing Devil Gate Drive in a Happy Days episode where Joanie wanted to go on tour with the group Leather and the Suedes.
  • Heather from Holbrook, NyWhen asked where or what Devil's Gate Drive was, Suzi said that it was the place where any teenagers went to hang out and do things they weren't supposed to.
    Suzi released a new song "Back to the Drive" on the Edgeplay: A Film about The Runaways soundtrack along with a couple new tunes.
    "(Let's Go)Back to the Drive" rocks hard. You can play both songs side by side and hear the similarities.
  • Pete from Nowra, Australiaalways thought she was singing
    about Digelbey Drive......
  • Ken from Dupont, PaPinky Tuscaderro was much hotter than her sister, Leather.
  • John from Seattle, WaSuzi was cast as Leather Tuscaderro after "Happy Days" producer Garry Marshall saw a pinup of her on his daughter's wall. In my opinion, Joat Jett completely ripped off Suzi Quatro.
  • John from Alexandria, KySuzi is one of actress Sherilyn Fenn's Aunts.
