Thanks Adogg! Pat married the guitarist Neil Geraldo. They are still married! Listen to: Fire and Ice, Heartbreaker & We Belong. A couple more from Journey too: Still They Ride, Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin' & Lights! Love your reactions! I always listen to the end!😀
She would have been in earlier, but the idiots just wanted her in solo - and her husband (since 1982) Neil has been her lead guitarist since 1979, so she said "both of us or neither". They finally pulled their heads out and put them both in.
You wouldn't think such a powerful voice could come from such a tiny woman but she'll make you a believer on the first note... it's volcanic. She's one of (if not the greatest) female rockers ever! I just love her. As always amazing reaction, thank you ❤
Pat Benatar certainly does not lie. She is one of the greatest. When I was very young she taught me what singing IS. Listening to her and trying to emulate her definitely developed my voice. That range, those high notes without pressing it out,that vibrato, that sincerity!! Thank you Pat Benatar for your contributions to us all (especially women), your art, your beauty, your authenticity, and above all, your CLASS. (I know she won’t read this but I had to say it anyway.)
I believe I remember she originally trained as an opera singer, clasically trained singer at the least. You can tell by the voice control, how she powers into those high notes; effortless.
Very true, her octave range was off the charts! Saw her first in concert in 1982 and the whole crowd was shocked how someone could sound that amazing live.
Other great Pat Benatar songs: “Heartbreaker”, “We Live For Love”, “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”, “Treat Me Right”, “You Better Run”, “Fire and Ice”, “Shadows of the Night”, Looking for a Stranger”, Love is a Battlefield”, “We Belong”, “Invincible”, “Le Bel Age”, “All Fired Up”, “One Love”, “Don’t Let it Show”, “The Victim”, “Bloodshot Eyes”, and “Ooh Ooh Song”. 💜💕💜💕🔥🔥🔥
Pat Benatar is a powerhouse vocalist in a petite frame. She had a lot of great songs in the 80's such as "Heartbreaker", "We Live For Love", "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", Fire & Ice", "Shadows Of The Night", "Love Is A Battlefield", "We Belong", "Invincible", "All Fired Up", "Treat Me Right", "Promises In The Dark" etc.
This was 1981 1st year MTV. They needed vids. Pat was on rotation constantly. They sent notice to fan club. All those people are from fan club and this is studio. I saw her live in 1982. Rocking out. I've since met her. She FINALLY got inducted in Rock n roll hall of fame.
Pat Benatar is an 80’s icon! I think my favorite song from her is Hit Me With Your Best Shot, but she has several big hits. She’s amazing! Glad you discovered her
Playing lead guitar is her longtime husband Neil Giraldo, married 40+ years. I saw her get the key the city from the Mayor. She’s from my hometown, Long Island, NY. I have friends whose older siblings went to school with her. She’s a star, every girl wanted to be her when I was in school. She’s still so cool! 🔥
LOVE Pat Benatar!!! Glad to see you finding out about her incredible talent!! Everyone needs to go vote her into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She's on the ballot right now. Go vote!!
Pat Benatar is a rock legend who should have been inducted into the Rock Hall of fame at least 15 years ago. But she and her band are fairly certain to get in this year. She is so iconic girls used to mimic her style and was even referenced in movies of that era.
Pat Benatar became my top favorites in the 80's. Heart was and is first, Stevie Nicks because they came along on the 70's. I love to sing Pat's songs live in Karoke. She rocks and is my idol. Pat has opera training. She started out as a jazz singer. Thanks for the review it keeps this music alive. Keep smiling you rock. Lol.
My absolute favorite! No one can sing like Pat. Her voice is so incredibly strong! Saw her in concert so many times & going again on the 15th. I’ve seen her up close & her voice gives me chills.
Great reaction! Her track "Hell Is For Children" is a great song. The video live from 2001 she gives the background on why she wrote it and the reason for it. It's kind of important to understand before you hear the lyrics. I've seen her in concert 5 times throught the years and she always sang it. 💯🔥
I saw her in a small theater. There were sweet little old men with flashlights walking you to your seat. I asked for this song. I sat with her on stage & was given the guitar pic. She’s unbelievable. She advocates for all Child Abuse to stop! She vows to play her song “ Hell is for Children “ at every concert until the day comes…. When ALL Child Abuse Stops 🛑! Let’s ALL Stand up for those who cannot stand up for they’re selves…. INNOCENT CHILDREN!! ✌🏻Amen🦋
She is a badass👏👏...she was one of my top female singers. Play. Hit Me With Your Best Shot. Plus so many more great songs. Also a very little women in size with a big voice. Yes Adogg your are saying her name correctly
Great choice!!!! I've loved Pat B. since she first came out. My two faves from her are "Shadows of the Night" and "Hell is for Children". The first one for the beautiful voice and the second for the lyrics, too. Glad you reviewed this!!!
Omg yes…love her!! This was one of my first records that I bought with my own money, I was so proud…knew every song inside and out…you just took me right back to sweet childhood memories💕💫👏I remembered almost all the words…so fun!
She sounded AMAZING LIVE in the 80's!!!😁❤ I had the complete HONOR, of seeing many of these GREATS, LIVE, in the 80's. Pat Benetar, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Steve Perry/Journey, to name a few, i got to see some of THE VERY BEST VOCALISTS, & BANDS, the fabulous 70's & 80's were offering up!!! Such awesome memories of my youth. What a ride it was ... ALWAYS A PARTY, when you're rockin with best!🎉😎 Thanks Adogg, for taking me back down memory lane, to the most FUN TIMES of my life! Glad you're enjoying all the TALENT we had back in the day! 🎉😊
Such a great song!! Her voice is amazing. The message is one we almost all are familiar with: heartbreak from broken promises. Her husband Neil Geraldo is on guitar, and he goes hard. They are still together to this day. 💗 Excellent reaction!
Payin the Cost to Be the Boss is one of my favorites by Pat. She released a jazz album that didn't get much attention but, every one on it is a winner. Nothing but respect for this lady.
So many are ecstatic that Pat and Spyder are finally being inducted into RRHOF, sooo long and richly deserved. There are so many killer tracks by them. I enjoyed watching you discover her! The first two albums sent many ‘chick singers’ into serious vocal training to cover Pats operatically trained voice. It was what a cover band singer had to do, and most couldn’t.
I was not in that crowd, but I saw her in 82, the Get Nervous Tour. She sang for 2 1/2 hours and sounded like she sounds on her albums. It was quite a night!
Hey Adogg! She was trained as an opera singer!! Major Pat Benatar fan!! I saw her in concert twice, and she really does sing that good! Try "Hell is for Children", just to add to others' song suggestions! Love what you're doing...keep up the great work, sweetheart! 🥰🥰
This is my high school memories right here! 80’s rules!!! I just saw her play in Delaware last July. She and her husband freaking Rick and sounded so freaking awesome!!! So grateful to catch one of their shows! ✅
Watching this video I remember the day that I first saw this video on MTV back in the day I was obsessed with that Benatar big time! It’s like it took me back to you when I was standing in front of my TV in my living room watching MTV and watching this video and just going holy shit this is a badass song!
You killed it. I wasn’t at this specific show, but I saw her in 82 at Hollywood Sportatorium in South Florida and again in ‘86 at William & Mary College
a 40+ year career covering multiple genres and styles. She still tours occasionally and fought many battles with the industry to open doors for women in music. I saw them live in 1981, my first concert and absolutely stunning. I wasn't at this particular concert but I think it was the same tour. Her book "Between a Heart and a Rock Place" is very interesting. Other songs by Pat that I would suggest are "Fire and Ice" and her live version of "I Need A Lover", it blows the Mellancamp version away IMO. Enjoy the journey, thanks for checking out Pat's work. Her husband/producer/guitarist is extremely underrated. He can absolutely kill it!!!
This was the 1st song I heard by her and it remains my favorite. The guitarist is her husband and they are still together. I didn’t get to see her in concert until she was a lot older and she brought her daughter out on the stage to sing with her. Her daughter jas a beautiful voice too, but nobody is like Pat!
One of the First Ladies of Rock she was huge from late 70s and all the way through the 80s seen her only once she packs a lot of power in that small frame.
She was a rising star in the late 70s,she is from seattle washington and I was living there at the time,I had the privilege to see her performance at the Aquarius tavern, also saw Heart there.
Pat was a powerhouse and still is. As a trained opera singer turned Rock N Roll Pat bought attention to a lot of issues through her music including child abuse in her anthem Hell is for Children and sexual obsession in society with her hit sex as a weapon. Love is a battlefield is classic 80s with her video and her song invincible was featured in a film. Pat is in the process of producing a musical featuring her music.
she did opera growing up and she was one of the first rocking girls growing up plus the guitar player she met over 40 years ago and they are still married and just got into the rock and roll hall of fame.
Pat started out as an opera singer I believe. You can hear her upper range on "We Live for Love." That note she hits is chilling! "Heartbreaker" and "Hell is for Children" were her early hard rock bangers. Might be second only to Steve Perry as far as vocals go. That would have been some duet!
Not sure where this show was but I saw her thrice on this tour to promote her first album "Heartbreaker" which was at the Palace in Windsor Plaza in Houston. A little history leading up to the show is that the radio stations were playing the bands version of "I need a lover" a John Cougar song that was popular at the time but the show itself was not advertised on the radio stations as they weren't well known in Houston. Her first ever show in Houston was Monday Dec 17th, 1979, cold and rainy with NFL playoffs going on. The only reason I knew they were playing is that I was there the week before and saw a poster that that this band was playing. Showed up with my girlfriend and noticed that there was maybe 5 other people other than the bartender in the whole club. The band walked in the front door got on stage tuned up and she walked to the mike looked around and basically stated that we're here you guys paid for tickets, so we are just going to play our show. After playing their sets they came off stage everybody got drinks and mingled for a while I ended up with Patti and the bass player and we played pinball for hours talked about the band and music and whatever. Since I had to be at work that morning i had to bid ado. Definitely a night i wouldn't forget. The band came back in January and August 1980 to a full house i was at both shows all with great atmosphere and performances. those were good times for rock and roll in America. By the way my ticket in '79 was $3.50 Gotta love it.
Thanks Adogg! Pat married the guitarist Neil Geraldo. They are still married! Listen to: Fire and Ice, Heartbreaker & We Belong. A couple more from Journey too: Still They Ride, Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin' & Lights! Love your reactions! I always listen to the end!😀
And Neil Geraldo one of the best guitarists in the music business. He's awesome! Always loved Pat Benatar!
@@jdice6868 Yeah, that man never misses a single note live. He's the consummate professional. Great player and equally as great songwriter!
You are to cute😂
Pat Benatar is awesome. I'm 57 years old and still jam to her
She is still rocking today! I have seen her 7 times now and she doesn’t disappoint!
She's going into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year! Great singer lots of great songs
And rock bands said in unison, IT'S ABOUT GOD DAMN TIME
About time and long over due
She would have been in earlier, but the idiots just wanted her in solo - and her husband (since 1982) Neil has been her lead guitarist since 1979, so she said "both of us or neither". They finally pulled their heads out and put them both in.
Pat Benetar is one of the best ladies of rock! She is up there with the ladies of Heart! You have to watch more of her!
Ahhhhhh, Patricia. She can melt your heart and your face. Sometimes in the same song.
You wouldn't think such a powerful voice could come from such a tiny woman but she'll make you a believer on the first note... it's volcanic. She's one of (if not the greatest) female rockers ever! I just love her. As always amazing reaction, thank you ❤

That's the way concerts were back then. They often reached out and touched you if you were lucky enough to be in front. It was a great time!!!
I got to see Pat Benatar this close in 2015. She is still put there and touring now.
She was the Queen of Rock in the 80's.
She'll ALWAYS have my heart.
yes, I saw her at the Alte Oper in Germany in the early 80's .....she was effing amazing
She trained in opera. Her band was very good too. They complimented each other perfectly.
Pat Benatar is an 80’s icon! I think my favorite song from her is Hit Me With Your Best Shot, but she has several big hits. She’s amazing! Glad you discovered her

Pat Benatar - Love Is A Battlefield
One of my favorite female rockers! She sounds as good today as she did then!
Pat Benatar is a rock legend who should have been inducted into the Rock Hall of fame at least 15 years ago. But she and her band are fairly certain to get in this year. She is so iconic girls used to mimic her style and was even referenced in movies of that era.
Pat dominated the first half of the 80s with a nonstop stream of hits. She had one of the best voices of any of the female pop vocalists of the time.

Pat is one of the best female rock artists. Her voice is 🔥. React to Hearbreaker and Fire and Ice next.

My fav female singer! Saw in concert 1981 in Gainesville!
SHES ALWAYS A ROCKER 👍👍😊
I remember being in love with her when I was in high school. I played drums and used to rock out to her songs.
I saw Pat in the 1980s at a New Jersey arena show. Not at this video, but she was great live. Pat was the Girl Power Queen of the 1980s.
You better run is another great song by Pat Benatar!
I used to sing Pat Benatar into my hair brush when I was a kid! Listen to "Hell is for Children" next.
I was going through the Rolodex of concerts I've been to. And I just realized I never got to see her live. Gosh dang it.
This is my favorite of hers! Beautiful.
Other Benatar songs that really show off her range: Shadows of the Night, We Live for Love, Wuthering Heights.
She was a rising star in the late 70s,she is from seattle washington and I was living there at the time,I had the privilege to see her performance at the Aquarius tavern, also saw Heart there.

Pat is 🔥🔥🔥
i took my niece to see her in CLE a couple years ago.. she's older.. but the voice is still strong and she is great performer..
don't forget her song 'hell is for children', if you haven't yet reacted to that classic.
THIS! Hell is For Children is a showcase piece when checking out Pat Benetar.
This is my favorite Pat Benatar song!
Soooo good!!!! 🔥🥰🤘
The mood this sets from the outset is amazing.
I was at the Us Festival where she was a feature. She tore it up. Love them!!!
My favorite song by her. You definitely should do more reactions by Pat
Yes Please do HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT by Pat Benatar !!! a must !
never forget our forefathers'...the 70's and 80's rock genre...killed it
I saw her in late 70s in Biloxi Ms. Great concert!
Great reaction! I would like to see you react to her Hell is for Children. Deep, dark message, but beautifully done.
Her band is also equally amazing the drummer is phenomenal then you got Neil giraldo her husband he's amazing too it's the whole package in that band
She started out after graduating high school as an opera singer.
