@@Sportsref13 They don't refuse her, she will only take the prize if her husband and other band members are also included being inducted. Get it right!
She's been married to her guitarist Neil Giraldo for 40 years! So apparently he did all the things to Pat that Lex described! 😂 One of the most underrated rock guitarists, he's awesome.
@@jonschlegel1597 Did I say he's "one of the best"? No. Stop putting words in my mouth. But he's underrated, no doubt. Most agree. Take your "um" to someone who cares.
@@brettkenschaft4239 Well she won't now because of you lot. By the way she won't take the induction if her husband and other band members aren't inducted too. Get it right!
@@brettkenschaft4239 I don't think she and Neil care one iota actually, although they would say all the right things if it happens. Class act those two.
@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax Ummm, I'm pretty sure (not positive, though) that the whole band would be included. And get what right? You're speaking gibberish.
Yep, Pat Benatar, Ann Wilson, and Steve Nicks are my favs of all-time. Pat was also a 5 octav singer I believe. Her Classical training paid off huge in R&R. One of the few time Brad shows emotion/reactions during the songs Ive seen at 3:32... Pat has them all under her spell. Brad appreciates the voice ; )
I became a fan when she first came onto the music scene and did an interview where she said "Some girls say if you love me and leave me I will die. I say if you love me and leave me I will kick your ass". :)
@@chrisa4695 Yes, "Battlefield" and "We Belong" reached #5. "Best Shot" reached #10. She has some great rock songs on "Seven the Hard Way" including "Sex as a Weapon" and the grunge/punkish "Red Vision". Wide Awake in Dreamland has a good number of hard rock songs as well as Gravity's Rainbow from 1993. Research can be your friend!
You can go WAAAAY down the Pat Benatar rabbit hole! A classically trained vocalist, her jazz album is also phenomenal. One of the best female voices EVER, and she still brings it live
her mother was an opera singer, and Pat benefitted from classical voice training - which carried over into rock - which helped temper that badass belting range that she has. This song has always been a banger - but "Love Is a Battlefield" will always be my favorite.
Pat along with Ann and Nancy Wilson are the rock goddesses extraordinaire! The only ladies who can rock just as good as the guys can. They all can sing whatever they want and pull it off! Pure genius and talent unparalleled by any other women during rock's heyday.
I consider Pat Benatar the best female and roller. seen her doing a interview one night she sad she had wonderful parents that supported her in any Endeavor she wanted to do. her mother taught Opera
I had all of her vinyl albums when I was a teenager. They played on my record player in my room over and over...and I played them turned up as loud as I could. Loud is the only way to listen to her with the earphones on of course. I loved her so much. She was excellent in concert too. We share a birthday too. Love this very talented lady. She’s married to the guitar player also. Still married to this day.
When this came out, there was a group of guys in my college dorm who played this incessantly. I think they considered the lyrics to be how-to instructions.
This is from 1979. She married the guitarist/co-song writer in 1982. They are still together and often perform as a duo. He's also a very underrated guitarist as he could play like this, but played however was best for the song which often meant you wouldn't even have a solo.
Hard rocking college student and then working professional in DC during her heyday, we always gave Pat total props for being a rocking badass chick!!! Insane vocal range and passion!!!!!
When I was young I knew nothing about women. Then for about 3 years, I thought I figured them out completely. Since then, I realize I don't know a damn thing about them and gave up trying! 🙃
Your the only reaction channel who noticed/ acknowledged/elaborated on Pat's vocal moments (accapella).. without backing instrumentals. Thank you..thank you!!.
Promises in the Dark, You Better Run and Hell is for Children are great tracks from Pat. This woman should’ve been in the Rock and Roll HOF years ago!👍😂🤘🏻🎧
Whenever I hear this song I can't stop thinking about the show Seinfeld, when George worked for the Yankees and Steinbrenner had this song in his head but didn't know the singer 🤔
I’d just like to thank Lex for breaking it down for me, I’ll take that advice for what it is and apply it as needed. Hopefully it’ll help me in future relationships and I won’t die a lonely old bachelor‼️🤔👌🏼🍻
Neil Geraldo, Pat's hubby, is on lead guitar. Very underrated player. Always had creative, tasty solos. Plus he's from my neck of the woods in the Cleveland, Ohio area! Parma to be exact.
When this album came out, I did EXTRA chores for extra allowance to buy this album!!! This woman was trained in opera & has a 4 octave voice! Her husband had to pull her out of her comfort zone & into doing rock. I, for one, am so glad she made that move! 🤩
Pat has been married to her guitarist Neil Geraldo for 40 years. They are one of the greatest marriage success stories in show business. You gotta watch interviews with the 2 of them in recent times. They are amazing.
My favorite, Pat Benatar song and it’s the first one I ever heard, offer debut album on the radio. I love Pat Benatar, and her first three albums are the best.
One of the few time Brad shows emotion/reactions during the songs Ive seen at 3:32... Pat has them both under her spell. Brad appreciates the voice ; )
I saw her in concert back in 1983, her opening act was Billy Squire who had a few hits around that time. His song The Stroke is one you should review. My favorite Pat Benatar tune is We Live For Love.
I finally got to see her about 15 years ago and she was still incredible. Even during her warm up you coukd have heard a pin drop. Her and Spyder are still together and such a beautiful couple.
That acapella section = 3 Pat Benatars (or so) Also give these songs a listen: Treat Me Right, Promises in the Dark, You Better Run ( great cover tune ), Fire and Ice . All of these are dynamite!!!
We're a rock/metal band and do as many or more songs from her (including this one) as any other band. She actually used to be a bank teller an love this quote from her. "I'd be counting money all day and all i could think of was of ways to steal it!" : )
There's a reason she made it into the R&R Hall of Fame! Just incredible!!! Guitarist, Neil Giraldo is her husband of over 40 years. She can really sing! Do "Withering Heights."
When I was growing up Pat Benatar reined as the queen of rock, and for good reason. I saw her once in concert ... and holy hell her voice is incredible. When you get to reacting to "Promises In the Dark" ... and that is the one song you should do .... there are2 versions that I think is wow. The first is the official version (link here: th-cam.com/video/7qUFZwJb9GA/w-d-xo.html ) ... but in 2021 Pat and her husband, Neil Giraldo who is the guitarist in her band, did a concert. Decades have gone by, and while she has lost a little, she's still got it. And so does her husband. The first 2 minutes is her talking, but its cute as she banters with the crowd. Then she goes into "Promises In the Dark". ... its a good contrast to what her younger versions did. Both are awesome. The link for the 2021 version is here: th-cam.com/video/IGt-OgxfqcM/w-d-xo.html
Just saw Pat Oct 25th, 2021 in Houston .... SHE STILL KILLS IT! Also, she married the "Heartbreaker" Neil, her guitar player... been married for almost 40 years!
Pat Benetar's fashion sense pretty much took over my jr/sr high school for a period. Alsmost all the ladies had her hair, headband and leg warmers, lol.
I sing this song. Did a competition and when I did the highest note, my voice shut down the sound system. I got a standing ovation and I won! Good times!
She won 4 straight Grammy's for best Female Rock Vocal for a reason....Pat is f'n awesome 🤘
and yet the RNR HoF refuses to induct her...
@@Sportsref13 rnrhof is a bad joke
Aloha, and not in the HOF...stoopid. a hui hou...
@@Sportsref13 They don't refuse her, she will only take the prize if her husband and other band members are also included being inducted. Get it right!
Her exclusion from the HOF is as bad as Rush being denied for so many years…..the Hall is a joke.

Um great story but he is nowhere near one of the best or underrated guitarists of all time...
Spyder is a great producer and studio musician. I don't "underrate" him in the least.
@@jonschlegel1597 Did I say he's "one of the best"? No. Stop putting words in my mouth. But he's underrated, no doubt. Most agree. Take your "um" to someone who cares.
The producer didn't care for the sound of Rick Springfield's guitar work so he brought in Neil for Working Class Dog.
They/she stole him from Rick Derringer. 😉
Go, Pat! Here's hoping she finally gets voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. She should've been in years ago.
rnr HoF is ran by some asshats.. as you say.. Pat should have been in there a long time ago
Yeah, the R & R HOF has zero credibility in my eyes.... but I still hope she gets in!

i agree completely, Her and Ann Wilson are rock goddesses in my eyes!!
The best one.
went out on a limb with that one huh galen? 😂

Lol, Lex hit that last note right on point.
Pat has a background in opera, 4 octave range.
I became a fan when she first came onto the music scene and did an interview where she said "Some girls say if you love me and leave me I will die. I say if you love me and leave me I will kick your ass". :)
Although “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” was perhaps her biggest and best known hit, this one is my favorite.
"Battlefield" and "We Belong" are his biggest hits to date.
@@johnr5382 Were they? I didn’t like either of those. By then she had moved away from her hard rock edge toward a more pop sound.
@@chrisa4695 Yes, "Battlefield" and "We Belong" reached #5. "Best Shot" reached #10.
She has some great rock songs on "Seven the Hard Way" including "Sex as a Weapon" and the grunge/punkish "Red Vision".

Before Madonna... or Brittany... or Aguilera... there was THIS woman of power and substance!! WHY isn't this performer in the Rock Hall???
Pat along with Ann and Nancy Wilson are the rock goddesses extraordinaire! The only ladies who can rock just as good as the guys can. They all can sing whatever they want and pull it off! Pure genius and talent unparalleled by any other women during rock's heyday.
I get them confused often too. Ann was the main vocalist of Heart
Pat Benatar is so cool. Shadows of the Night, Fire and Ice, Promises in the Dark are just a few of her hits. She never disappoints. Such a powerhouse!
That song kills and will always kill. It never gets old. Pat Benatar rock goddess!
You two brighten my day, every day. Thank you.
One of the great female rock singers of all time
Pat Benatar is a great female rock and roller singer. Another couple to check out is Hit Me With Your Best Shot and Promises in the Dark
I agree. This is certainly more metal than Tool and NIN too 😀
You forgot Hell Is For Children 👍
@@josephgallagher945 No, they already did it
Even Brad smiled through the lot of that and he were bopping too. Freaking love your reaction to this.
I wish I had a strong, loud voice like hers. So powerful coming out of a Petite woman. 🎶
I consider Pat Benatar the best female and roller. seen her doing a interview one night she sad she had wonderful parents that supported her in any Endeavor she wanted to do. her mother taught Opera
Pat, Bonnie Tyler and Amy Lee make up the perfect female vocal trifecta in my book. :-)
Pat and Ann Wilson are my top 2 for rock.
2nd Video on MTV was You Better Run by Pat... Great Songs. A trained singer, what a voice....
She still tours. Time has been good to her voice. She still sounds amazing. Her and her husband (the guitarist) made/make a great team.
I had all of her vinyl albums when I was a teenager. They played on my record player in my room over and over...and I played them turned up as loud as I could. Loud is the only way to listen to her with the earphones on of course. I loved her so much. She was excellent in concert too. We share a birthday too. Love this very talented lady. She’s married to the guitar player also. Still married to this day.
We share a birthday with Pat and Rod Stewart too among others ...
Same here. I still have all her albums. Played over and over and over.
Pat is a classically trained opera singer.
As per usual, Lex is spot ON. Most definitely a fine line to walk, but the recipe is what it is!!!!
"Invincible" is a great track from Pat Benatar. She's kind of a forgotten gem of the 80s - though not totally.
Brad must concentrate a lot to stay in character, especially when it ROCKS!!!!!
Best Pat Benatar song. I was rockin it back in the day.
When this came out, there was a group of guys in my college dorm who played this incessantly. I think they considered the lyrics to be how-to instructions.
This is from 1979. She married the guitarist/co-song writer in 1982. They are still together and often perform as a duo. He's also a very underrated guitarist as he could play like this, but played however was best for the song which often meant you wouldn't even have a solo.
Saw her at a local concert a couple years ago. She still rocked.
Pat Benatar is a vocal powerhouse and a rocker...no doubt.
Hard rocking college student and then working professional in DC during her heyday, we always gave Pat total props for being a rocking badass chick!!! Insane vocal range and passion!!!!!
Zero auto tune all voice. We called her the no knocker rocker when I was a kid.
“that’s a lot to ask of someone, what does that even mean?”. hahahaha!!! every man was thinking the same thing.
When I was young I knew nothing about women. Then for about 3 years, I thought I figured them out completely. Since then, I realize I don't know a damn thing about them and gave up trying! 🙃
Love it! I was so crushed out on her when this was released and still love her voice! Thank you!
Brad must have used that recipie! LEX smiles like she knows.
I was a high school kid when this came out.. we had the greatest music. What a time to
be young….. ✌🏼
Your the only reaction channel who noticed/ acknowledged/elaborated on Pat's vocal moments (accapella).. without backing instrumentals.
Thank you..thank you!!.
Pat is another straight-up killer
The ABSOLUTE best female rock singer on this planet. My favorite is Fire and Ice. Really shows her vocal strength.
Her range really shows I "Shadows of the night" too
Ann Wilson is leagues above but Pat is great too
@@Kaleidoscopia I respect your opinion. 👍
One thing about Brad & Lex....when they like a song....they sway back & forth. I love it. 🫶🏽
Promises in the Dark, You Better Run and Hell is for Children are great tracks from Pat. This woman should’ve been in the Rock and Roll HOF years ago!👍😂🤘🏻🎧
Absolutely - she's really underrated.
This was her first hit and it was popular when it first came out in ‘79, Greatest classic rock hits of all time.
I heard "heartbreaker" in 1980 or 1981 on the radio, I was 7 or 8 years old, and loved, I thought: "wow, some girls can rock too..."
So cool to see you enjoy Pat all these years later, I saw her in concert, and she rocked.
Lex is fun to watch. Great seeing today's youth rockers.
Whenever I hear this song I can't stop thinking about the show Seinfeld, when George worked for the Yankees and Steinbrenner had this song in his head but didn't know the singer 🤔
Thanks for reacting to this i've been suggesting this song for the longest on your 80's live streams, glad you like it!
Going down memory lane with this we can see just how good his band was.
I’d just like to thank Lex for breaking it down for me, I’ll take that advice for what it is and apply it as needed. Hopefully it’ll help me in future relationships and I won’t die a lonely old bachelor‼️🤔👌🏼🍻
Or as "George Steinbrenner" sang it in "The Nap" episode of Seinfeld; "Heartbreaker. Love-taker. Shoemaker. Won't you fix my shoes for free?"
Brubaker, run this prison like a man!
Well Lex just broke this down. I had never thought of it that way. I have been listening to this song for nearly 40 years. Nice going 🤯👍
Neil Geraldo, Pat's hubby, is on lead guitar. Very underrated player. Always had creative, tasty solos. Plus he's from my neck of the woods in the Cleveland, Ohio area! Parma to be exact.
Saw Pat Benatar in Providence, RI waaaaay back in 1982. Awesome show! And Billy Squier opened . . .
The 80's exploded with talent... Pat Benatar is a powerhouse and she is great Live.
It's always good when you go WOOO at the end.
Seeing her do this live in Vegas was awesome!
Yes! First Lady of Rock and Roll at her Peak.
Thanks guys, excellent work!
💚
Fast times at Ridgemont high had three pat benatar look a likes. The iconic look.
"SHOEMAKER WON'T YOU FIX MY SHOES FOR FREE?"
"BRUBAKER RUN THAT PRISON LIKE A MAN!" 🤣🤣

The BEST female vocalist I’ve ever seen live. Wow!
Promises In The Dark should be next, Brad & Lex rule as undisputed champions of reaction videos!! Please check out Great White-Rock Me?? ✌️ 🎸🎶🎼🎵
3:20 GOOSEBUMPS TO THIS DAY!!
I finally got to see her about 15 years ago and she was still incredible. Even during her warm up you coukd have heard a pin drop. Her and Spyder are still together and such a beautiful couple.
My old band use to do a cover of this….really fun rock song to play live!
I just love her voice in this song.
That acapella section = 3 Pat Benatars (or so)
Also give these songs a listen:
Treat Me Right, Promises in the Dark,
You Better Run ( great cover tune ),

She wrote this song when she was just 16 yrs old. Fucking brilliant!
Lex’s stank face during the breakdown 🤣🤣😵😵
Pat's first number one hit!!

Somebody NAILED that last power chord. Nice.
Ive just blown through three hours watching this couple...they pick great songs
Classic Pat Benatar.
Lex's reaction to Pat Bentar's and band's GENUIS is spot on!!.
And her opinion on what Women look for is even more..spot on!!!.
One of my absolute favourite Pat Benatar songs.
Your summation of the chorus is the best summation I've ever heard of the chorus and I was a professional music journalist. Good job guys!!!
Pat Benatar is the foundation for my appreciation of the female voice in rock music. Band Maid carries on the tradition.
One of my favorite concerts was Pat Benatar opening for Styx at Mud Island in Memphis in 1994
Pat Benetar's fashion sense pretty much took over my jr/sr high school for a period. Alsmost all the ladies had her hair, headband and leg warmers, lol.
I forgot how good that song was. Non stop from beginning to end
Pat Benatar can ROCK. This is a great song!!!!
You have to check out Promises In The Dark next. So good.
I sing this song. Did a competition and when I did the highest note, my voice shut down the sound system. I got a standing ovation and I won! Good times!
Back then, it was so innovative and she was so bad ass, a real pioneer of female rock singers, a pretty girl with a mighty voice. Love it still.
