This is where I usually snidely remark that "most underrated" is so overrated as a cliche., But nah....I'm giving this a solid pass. Neil is the man and doesn't get the credit he deserves. 👍
Maybe in some guitar circles, but between his production work, sessions like this song and all the Pat Benetar work....I'm sure his bank account isn't too underrated.
@BXL Gotham Dude what's wrong with you? You sound like you want to cry because Benatar gave writing credit to her husband (He also composed everything). I know, maybe he forced her to say that and threatened to beat her if she didnt 🙄....F**king weirdo
I learned to play the guitar listening to him and my band opened for him and Pat and I told him that he was my hero and he's such a humble guy, he didn't believe me till I played"Promises in the dark" and he was just blown away - GREAT GUY!
Thanks for your love and support. It has been a hard time for me going through this but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times . I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all you've done for me throughout the years.💙💙
I never knew till some years back that Neil played the solo...makes sense now...it's totally his sound and style...still love this song...such a great straight up rocking pop tune!
Here's one mark of a master musician: when you can write solos that are instantly memorable to non-musicians the world over. For decades. Neil is and always has been superb.
Its great to this see this true part of rock history come together. Neil was so underated back in the day of EDDIE or Steve VIA, but he was and is quintesential rock n roll. And rick contiues to shred the teeny bopper image that plauged him for most of the 80's, and proved he one of the best 80's rockers still out there. ROCK ON GUY"S

Neil wasn't there, but this bring me back to seeing Rick and band at the 2008 Iowa State Fair. Rick pointed at my then 8 year old son when he sang one of the choruses of You Better Find Somebody! We were lucky to be in the second row!
Love Neil...one of the greats....inspires me as a player as much now as 35 years ago..!! Rick and Neil together on stage. Doesnt get better then that 😃 Neil is bad ass on that guitar...
I love listening to Randy Rhoads and I also love listening to Eddie Van Halen's guitar playing!!! They are both masters of hard rock lead guitar or metal whatever the label!!! But I think Neil Giraldo deverves some recognition also!!! He plays for the song and his lead solos are tastful and rememberable!!! All three guitarists came out around the same time!!! Late 70s and early 80s Neil is cool cat!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸😊😊😊😇😎😎😎😁

Neil Geraldo is a very underrated guitarist. He did play the original solo on the studio version of this, plus some of his solos with Pat are NOT easy to play at all.
That's crazy, always liked Neil's playing on Pat's music. Recently saw Rick do it on the new Greatest Hits Show, too cool. I said it was something about the Guitar work, it does sound like Neil. I'm a player too, you have a sound.
I have no idea who Neil is? You fans are very right about Rick and Neil working together on the stage! I loved the guitar that Neil was playing! Rick Springfield he knows how to make them happy and have an excellent performance! Love you Rick oxox! Rick Springfield is my biggest rock star singer forever! I am very Loyal and idolize him as a very talented singer and songwriter! Rick Springfield is my rock and my guardian Angle! 🎤🎸🙏🎚💝💯👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Neil Giraldo is Pat Benatar's husband, he was the original guitar player of the recording of Jessie's Girl. He's also a record producer, arranger, and songwriter and best known as the musical partner of Pat Benatar for more than 40 years

Neil Giraldo is absolute style. Great job by the drummer to push the beat and fuck up the timing for Neil's solo. I get so pissed when I hear the space for iconic melody get ripped away because somebody can't keep timing when it matters. The best drummers I think actually play as if they themselves are playing the melody line on whatever instrument is soloing.

vanhalen???? wtf ! vanhalen couldnt hold neils guitar pick...so underrated because of eddie vanhalen all he did and still does is play scales up and down the neck. neil is one of the top 5 rock guitarist of all time hes as badass as they come. no comparison ...vanhalens a joke and hes done....neil is the real deal... still is
+Tim Johnston Were guitarist like Frank Marino,Warren DeMartini,Joe Perry etc overshadowed by EVH. YES. When VH1 dropped,all of us were how the FK did he do it. Eruption,I'm the one..., we were all open mouthed,jaws on the floor. Every album release was a event.Spanish Fly,Little guitars,Catherdral and on and on. Major ground breaking guitar events. Giraldo has always been a highly regarded player and a top notch writer/soloist but cmon man.Can't hold his pick?? 30+ yrs later,VH1 is still a benchmark guitarist strive to achieve. Eruption is practically a rite of passage. Not Heartbreaker.
Tim Johnston You obviously don't even play. EVH's rhythm playing is amazing and the fact that he makes subtle changes to riffs over the course of a song to keep it interesting, and that you're unaware of that, proves you know exactly Jack Shit about the music he created or guitar playing in general.
I love Rick, saw him in 81 and 2006 but it appears this performance has some auto-tune or backing vocal work, just being honest..the notes continue when he backs away from the mic
@rickspringfield5892 One of the most underrated song writers in rock history, such eloquence in your lyrics (remember "The city didn't acquiesce to his demands"? My man-crush since '81, my first concert at the Queen Mary, you opened for the Beach Boys, 3 Dog Night. Pablo Cruise, Jan and Dean. Hope you know I wasn't being critical, I couldn't be a bigger fan or know less about performing live when the show probably dictates if you use backing tracks etc. You rock Tommy
@rickspringfield5892 You gotta watch your show at the Queen Mary, girls all around me were disrobing and throwing their bras at you, never seen anything like it, and you had the best set which is saying something, you were alongside some greats..that purple suit was epic

Neil Geraldo One of the most underrated guitarists of his generation.
To Marc Rubner:
Neil Geraldo IS the most underrated guitarist in his generation!
This is where I usually snidely remark that "most underrated" is so overrated as a cliche., But nah....I'm giving this a solid pass. Neil is the man and doesn't get the credit he deserves.
👍
Maybe in some guitar circles, but between his production work, sessions like this song and all the Pat Benetar work....I'm sure his bank account isn't too underrated.
He's married to Pat Benatar. Who needs ratings at that point?
@@agentorange2554 Bravo! Great response and excellent point.
damn, Rick Springfield does not age...Neil Geraldo: one of the most underrated guitarists and songwriters around.. imo.
Het, not Pat, wrote ANY of their hits. NONE.
@BXL Gotham I just listened to Pat and Neil being interviewed. SHE SAID that he wrote EVERYTHING.
@@scottwaszak698 You are correct!
@@loripatterson7882 look up the songwriters for the vast majority of their hits; it wasn’t them.
@BXL Gotham Dude what's wrong with you? You sound like you want to cry because Benatar gave writing credit to her husband (He also composed everything). I know, maybe he forced her to say that and threatened to beat her if she didnt 🙄....F**king weirdo

To Kevin Waynant from DEEJAYENPS: WOW! What a story! I'm just trying to place Neil Geraldo. I know him from somewhere. Is he Pat Benatar's husband?
@@nygelmiller5293 Absolutely
Best never talked about guitarist
Rick and Neil together on stage.
Doesnt get better then that 😃
Neil is bad ass on that guitar...

I never knew till some years back that Neil played the solo...makes sense now...it's totally his sound and style...still love this song...such a great straight up rocking pop tune!
Neal player every guitar part in the studio and produced the entire song.
Here's one mark of a master musician: when you can write solos that are instantly memorable to non-musicians the world over. For decades. Neil is and always has been superb.
Rick showing awesome vocals here. Neil, spot on as always.
actually he blew the tail end of the bridge
Perhaps one of the greatest pop songs ever written...timeless.
Neil’s licks ooze soul,passion,aggression,skill and never indulging in too many notes👍
Its great to this see this true part of rock history come together. Neil was so underated back in the day of EDDIE or Steve VIA, but he was and is quintesential rock n roll. And rick contiues to shred the teeny bopper image that plauged him for most of the 80's, and proved he one of the best 80's rockers still out there. ROCK ON GUY"S
Spyder is a beast guitarist.Together with Pat and the band they put out some of rocks best songs.Huge fan
here for a long time!
Neil gifted Rick with a giant killer solo but, damn, that bridge just sets it all up.
It's just an incredible tune
Neil is a great guitarist and song writer.
I'm not going to compare him w others. He is just very very good!
Thanks for your love and support. It has been a hard time for me going through this but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times . I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all you've done for me throughout the years.💙🎶
Who else came here after the interview with Neil and Tim Pierce to watch Neil turn his back on Rick's guitar player during the solo?
Hahahahaha. Definitely lol. 🤣
Yep!
Guilty
Neil wasn't there, but this bring me back to seeing Rick and band at the 2008 Iowa State Fair. Rick pointed at my then 8 year old son when he sang one of the choruses of You Better Find Somebody! We were lucky to be in the second row!

@@offlcialkimhyunjoong8759 😂🤣
80's ...These songs don't age
I caught them just a week or two prior in Canandaigua, NY on their co-headlining tour. Both acts put on a great show.
It doesn't get any better then having Spyder bang on with one of his original classic solo's he wrote.
Neil also played the lead guitar parts on the song. Also loved his work on Hell Is For Children.
amazing energy with these two artists! true genius. great vibes
I love listening to Randy Rhoads and I also love listening to Eddie Van Halen's guitar playing!!! They are both masters of hard rock lead guitar or metal whatever the label!!!

Does Rick Springfield ever get old?
Yeah, no kidding. I think he's about 70 now.
C R, he’s 70 now, but was 65 here. Wow, right?! 🙌🏻
Should have seen him in Supernatural.... Wow!
I don't know, he looked like crap in Supernatural a few seasons ago LOL
WOW! I didn't know that Neil Geraldo played guitar on that song.
These guys don’t age!!! 🤙🏼
❤❤❤NEIL GIRALDOE❤❤❤
Neil Giraldo aka Spyder aka Mr. Pat Benatar
Looks like a fun time.
surprisingly good for a Live performance.
so cool
Neil Giraldo is absolute style. Great job by the drummer to push the beat and fuck up the timing for Neil's solo. I get so pissed when I hear the space for iconic melody get ripped away because somebody can't keep timing when it matters. The best drummers I think actually play as if they themselves are playing the melody line on whatever instrument is soloing.
Rick and neil the ultimate team
Neil is one of the Best
Everything I know about playing lead guitar I learned from Neil Giraldo and Buck Dharma. 😊
If I was Jessie's girl I know what I would have done :-)
Master NEIL🇺🇸🎸🇺🇸✝️🤘
I never knew who the guitar player was on her records but this cat is something
Great music vy him
Dude this was my jam- you know I had a boyfriend named Jessie ✨✨💋
neil you rule budy 👍👍👍👌
Hi Rick SPRINGFIELD from shawn Overton you.
Hmmmmm.........so many sticky fumblings in backseats of cars in the US to this song......I know them well and miss them all
Eeeww. Was that necessary?
They should have went right into Hell is for Children after this with Rick singing.
Neil is bad ass.
Esta Canción se la dedico 😃😃 a la naturaleza más bella y humilde 😍😇 de Wapa TV .
El Indio taino Yayabo de Hato Nuevo no City.
He moves away from the mic at 2:18 but I can still hear his vocal?
It’s my phones audio over the video. Camera had lousy sound.
Theo: This is Spider; he's replacing you.
Spider: Sup dawg?
Spyder!!!! 😊💗
There really should be a Neil Giraldo day in America...i mean if they can have a Martin Luther King day they can have a Neil Giraldo day NO QUESTION ·
Mazerati Spyder is the damn man! I agree totally!
Learning all kinds of stuff today. For instance Justin Bieber wrote the riff to Crazy Train.
Got messy near the end. Neil Giraldo is great. The lead break in ‘Hit me with your best shot’ is superb.
yeah

You know the line was from "Souls", your most underrated song
@rickspringfield5892 Corona CA Rick, about 15 min outside the "OC". one of your concerts I've attended was at the OC Fair in Costa Mesa
