Surprised you haven't had Pat Benatar before this. Her harder hits are: "Heartbreaker," "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," "Treat Me Right," "Fire and Ice," "Invincible," and her softer hits include "Shadows of the Night," "Love Is A Battlefield," and "We Belong."
Why does it have to be termed or phrased harder hits ? Why is there this assumption that everybody wants something that's hard fast crazy and all over the place. There are people out here who love hard rock that is melodic. But I guess it's not cool hip and edgy to think and speak that way.
I'm 51 and it's weird to hear people this age so unaware of Pat Benetar, they don't' even even know how to pronounce her name! She's a rock goddess, duh.
As somebody who grew up listening to Pat Benatar, I'd say that "ferocious" describes her vocals perfectly! 😊 Yeah, she pretty much dominated the late '70's and 80's. She was as big as it gets.
@@jackgilchrist And their label was not happy about it either, but she refused to hide it for popularity. She was openly clear she was not available and never would be. Her and Neil are one of the better love stories that the entertainment world has ever had imho.
Grammy Best Female Vocalist '80, '81, '82, '83. She literally ruled that era. And time passes by and todays younger generations of people mostly have never heard of her. Sad but that is life I'm afraid.
Pat had a 7 octive vocal range....the biggest of any rock singer at that time. Neil "Spider" Gerard , the guitarist, and Pat were married and still are. They are also still touring together and still sound incredible.
She was one of my favorite rock artists to catch live as a teenager!!! Such a tour de Force!! I was infatuated by her feminine power🎉🎉🎉❤ she always brought it and blew the roof off, with her searing vocals and killer band!!
@@darrinashby9019 Yes. Ann Wilson has a 3.5 octave range, with full control at both ends; Pat Benatar has a somewhat broader range: 4 to 4.5, again with excellent control at both extremes. Those two women show that range, per se, is not the main criterion for vocal excellence. Another female vocalist with a 3.5 octave range who had complete control throughout is Karen Carpenter.
Pat Benatar owned the late 70's thru the mid 80's. Her portfolio of hits is extensive! Now everyone one here does reactions to songs such as "Hit me with your best shot", Hell is for Children", "Love is a Battlefield", and "Shadows of the Night, but some of her lesser known hits are just as amazing and are not given the same respect. If you want to delve deeper into the Pat Benatar rabbit hole, give a listen to "My Clone Sleeps Alone", "Withering Heights", "Anxiety", "Don't Walk Away", "One Love", "and "We Belong"!
Pat Benetar and Ann Wilson of Heart were the big women vocalist of that era and they’re still going strong. We Belong was a huge record for her back then.
A petite classically trained singer that can can belt it out, combined with the killer guitar and awesome beat. What more can you ask for? So many great songs in her rock catalog. Live Hell is for Children, and Fire & Ice are 2 other favorites.
Patty and her guitarist have been married forever. She's from the general area I grew up in. Oh, and "Love is a Battlefield" is another great Pat Benetar tune you'd probably like. She has a lot to pick from though.
This is just one of the many great tunes from Pat and her hubby. What chemistry and talent. There is so much talent and power from Pat that would put everyone to shame nowadays. The staggering amount of incredible music we have from the 1960s through the 90s makes it unnecessary to acknowledge what is around today.
Love her so much 💜💜 what a powerhouse vocals. She is 72 now damn times flies. she definitely rocked us through the 80s. That's her husband Neil Gerardo on guitar
Glad you brought this up. People needs to recognize. Her husband is also the guitar player Neil Giraldo and driving force behind most of the music AND wrote for other artists as well.... They do not have a bad song. I remember having a crush on her as a kid. Late 70's early 80's she was crushing it on the radio. Another Band during this time you should listen to with another great Singer, Rindy Ross, is Quarterflash. Good reaction, got my Sub for this one. :)
Pat Benetar was THE rock chick in the 80's. One of only a few on the radio and the biggest. The guitarist is her husband I believe. Pat was a classically trained opera singer who wanted to rock. Her vocals are incredible. As a girl in the 80's she was a hero and I had all her albums and saw her in concert several times. Fire! Other songs: Heartbreaker, Treat Me Right, Hit Me with Your Best Shot (her biggest song), We Belong, Hell is For Children, Wuthering Heights (remake of Kate Bush song), Love is a Battlefield.
💥 Pat Benatar and her band were/are excellent! The vocals, lyrics, the guitars, the drums 🥁. Those drums are so good, too! " Hell Is For Children" (live), "Heartbreaker," "Love Is A Battlefield," and many more! Yes, I believe Pat was the first female and 2nd music video ever played on MTV. Great reaction, Sam and Phil. Much ❤😊
Hell is for Children, Heartbreaker, We Belong-all fantastic songs by Pat. I saw her in concert just before the pandemic & she still sounds & looks amazing. Keep going!
"You Better Run" , "I'm Gonna Follow You" are a couple of Pat Benatar's great tunes you could listen to. She's an awesome singer, with an excellent band .
She is an ICON!!! Before entering the Rock n Roll scene, Pat was going to sing Opera. She has a 5 octave vocal range. She will always be one of my favorite music artist.
Top 3 female vocalists from the 70's along with Linda Ronstadt and Ann Wilson. Still performs today. The guitarist is her husband Neal Giraldo. She refused to be in the Rock Hall of Fame without him. Her best known songs are "Hit me with your best shot" and "Heartbreaker". My favorite is "Hell is for Children".
Pat is one of the greatest vocalists ever - 19 top 40 hits, she can sing anything . Hell is for Children, Invincible, Fire and Ice, Heartbreaker etc etc. Yes Pat's voice is like a cornered Puma! Good comments.
Two songs to recommend that aren't among Pat's regularly chosen by fans, one just her and another as a duet. All Fired Up - really shows the grit in her voice. Totally undervalued song. Independence Day - originally released by Country and Western singer Martina McBride. Country and Western TV (CWT) did a series of programmes that showcased singers and groups but went outside the box and included duets. And they teamed Martina and Pat for a show, allowing both women to sing come of the others catalogue, for a total of 8 songs. Both women stormed this one song. Great lyrics, great tune, two absolute powerhouses smashing it. Both songs have videos here on TH-cam.
Nice reaction, Neil Gerardo is one of the most under rated guitar players out there. Every one of Pats songs has a great solo in it and he wrote them all.
Yeah, Pat Benatar is a Rock Star! She trained as an Opera singer early on. Hubby Neil Giraldo is also a big part of the story. Neil was playing with Rick Derringer's band when in 1979 Producer/Writer, Mike Chapman called him up as he was looking for someone to team up with Pat. Her words... "I signed to Chrysalis Records and the company put together a group of studio musicians. We were putting things together and doing demos with wonderful studio musicians. It just wasn’t raunchy enough. It wasn’t rock enough. I mean, it sounded beautiful, but it wasn’t what I meant. I met with Mike Chapman a few times and I told him what I was trying to do, so he said he had a guy. So, Spyder came down the day I was doing auditions for the other band members and just came so we’d meet. He was already too accomplished to audition. He came in with everybody else. I didn’t know he was there. Someone told me Neil Giraldo was there, but I didn’t turn back. Then, I heard someone behind me say, “Hey, man, can I borrow your axe?” And I thought, oh my gosh, he didn’t even bring his guitar? I was ready to turn around and skewer him. Then I saw him and that was the end of that. My brain literally shut down, the rest of my body lit up on fire. I tried to compose myself, like “What the hell are you doing?” I was madly in love with him. I composed myself, shook his hand, and he got on stage to play the most unbelievable guitar chord I have ever heard. I wouldn’t have worked with him if he hadn’t been the right guy, the right guitar player, but he was exactly what I was looking for." Source: nikkionthedaily.com/2019/11/07/pat-benatar-neil-giraldo-the-real-life-romeo-juliet/ This song was the first song they wrote about this first meeting and their relationship. Heck, Pat was still married to another person when they met and fell in love! What a meeting of the ages. I for one thank that lucky moment. Seen her live only once and it was fire. Great reaction, great suggestion, Thank you Mary. I'd suggest you check out 'Invincible' next but she has a huge catalog. 'All Fired Up', Sex As A Weapon', 'Fire and Ice' just to name a few. All fire btw. Cheers.
I'm 57 now, and watching this video takes me to the scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. "There's 3 girls here with the Pat Benatar look..." Hell is for Children is a pretty gritty tune about child abuse. That's another of my favs from her.
She is a legend. Still married to her husband, Neil Geraldo, who plays guitar in the band. He’s an amazing guitarist who played guitar on many studio tracks from many other artists. She has so many great songs.
The guitar player is her husband Neil Geraldo who wrote most of her biggest hits. They are still married to this day. They are the ultimate Rock & Roll married couple. Great reactions to one of her biggest hits. Awesome!
How does that voice and power come from such a tiny woman. Before I die I need a duet with Pat Benatar and Ann Wilson. Niel is also such an underrated guitarist (and Pat's husband), he fills in so much sound with such a small band.
Pat Benatar was trained in opera. Her vocal range is 3.5 octaves. Neil Geraldo, the lead guitarist was the musical collaborator with Pat's lyrics. They became friends, lovers and married. they are still married, and have been called "rock & roll's Romeo & Juliet.
Ann Wilson is the Queen of ♥️ . Pat Benatar is the Queen of ♠️ Both queens of rock vocals. Pat has SO many great songs. Heartbreaker, We Belong, Hit Me with Your Best Shot, Love Is A Battlefield, Invincible, Hell Is For Children, We Live For Love so many more
Welcome to the queen of the 80’s. Pat was the sound of 80’s rock. She isn’t just bangers but nobody did them better. The guitar player is her husband who wrote most of the songs, he also wrote the song Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield. You are right it wasn’t live singing but overdubbed. Pat and Neil are still touring at 71 and 68 respectively. She won 4 Grammy’s in a row from 81 to 84. They finally were elected to the rock and roll hall of fame in 2022. My favorites besides the hits everyone mentions are Everybody Lay down, Precious Time, We Belong, Treat Me Right, but you can’t go wrong with anything this coloratura trained powerhouse sings
Pat Benatar ruled the early days of MTV! Not only is she talented, she was hitting her stride at the exact right time for “beautiful” video friendly musicians! She was my ex wife’s fav! 2nd only to Janis Joplin! Peace, from beautiful Lake Country BC
Pat is classically trained so she REALLY knows how to use that amazing vocal instrument of hers! She and her husband - guitarist Neil Giraldo - are still going strong...both domestically and performance-wise.
Both Pat and her husband on lead guitar, Neil Gerardo were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a year or so ago. Althought Pat was classically trained as an opera singer she's a hard rocker. This performance is a banger. Thank you. She has a ton of hits.
I love that you kids are getting introduced to some of the best music ever which you weren't around to experience when it was originally released. Another Pat Benatar tune I think you'd like is "We Belong". She has killer pipes.
Pat and Neil (the guitarist) are amazing musicians, but an even more amazing couple. They have been married for 42 years and together longer than that. Yes, they are special.
Ass-kicking singer with the vocal chops to back it up. Saw her a couple years ago and she's still got the voice. She had 5 platinum and 2 multi-platinum albums in the 80s. Classic videos back then. "Love is a Battlefield", "Invincible", "Shadows of the Night", "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", "We Belong", "We Live For Love", on and on and on. Guitarist is husband Neil Gerardo.
Absolute best Power Duo in Pat and Neil Gerardo (Lead Guitarist) they have been married over 40 yrs. Pat was classically trained in Opera before switching to Rock,and we are all better for it. Drummer Myron Grombacher is a beast on the drum kit. Band is perfection live. Loved your reaction we all felt the same way when we seen them the first time way back when MTV started early 80s. They are still performing and still sound awesome!
She's not another female powerhouse. She's THE female powerhouse.
Surprised you haven't had Pat Benatar before this. Her harder hits are: "Heartbreaker," "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," "Treat Me Right," "Fire and Ice," "Invincible," and her softer hits include "Shadows of the Night," "Love Is A Battlefield," and "We Belong."
Painted 🏜.
Agree with ALL.
This is 'harder' than Hit Me and Invincible, at least.
Right On. I'm surprised also.
Why does it have to be termed or phrased harder hits ? Why is there this assumption that everybody wants something that's hard fast crazy and all over the place. There are people out here who love hard rock that is melodic. But I guess it's not cool hip and edgy to think and speak that way.
Pat Benatar - Hell is for children - live
Can’t wait until they experience Hell
Yes, Live in New Haven!
Yes. That song made me cry. That song made me angry. And it made me love her.
@@zebulonmcfly9213 or this one
th-cam.com/video/wm4grNE9QVg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Nutmover
Absolutely a powerful song to listen to
She is one of the best vocalist! Love her. Her husband Neil Gerardo has been her guitarist since the beginning.
Neil Giraldo
Neal plays a great axe! 🎸
And they still tour together
Also wrote their music and Pat refused to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame without him.
In an interview once she was asked "How do you stay faithful on the road and her comeback was "Marry your guitar player" lol.
pat benatar and Ann wilson two of the best ever !
Great call! Ann is my favourite ever.
May we add Melissa and Joan?
Melissa E. and Joan Jett. Yes!!
@@Mare_bear738 Them's the ladies of Rock
Pat definitely the best so many hits and that voice
Pat is definitely one of the most powerful female rock voices ever. She had the second video ever played on MTV as well.
I'm 51 and it's weird to hear people this age so unaware of Pat Benetar, they don't' even even know how to pronounce her name! She's a rock goddess, duh.
I know right
5feet of pure power!!! Pat is still amazing!!!
As somebody who grew up listening to Pat Benatar, I'd say that "ferocious" describes her vocals perfectly! 😊 Yeah, she pretty much dominated the late '70's and 80's. She was as big as it gets.
Pat was just recently inducted into the Rock 'N' Roll.Hall of fame and the guitarist is her husband of almost forty years which is really cool
Over 40 years now. They were married in '82.
@@jackgilchrist And their label was not happy about it either, but she refused to hide it for popularity. She was openly clear she was not available and never would be. Her and Neil are one of the better love stories that the entertainment world has ever had imho.
BOTH were recently inducted. She refused to accept an invitation without Neil, as he is the genius behind their sound.
Took long enough!
Grammy Best Female Vocalist '80, '81, '82, '83. She literally ruled that era. And time passes by and todays younger generations of people mostly have never heard of her. Sad but that is life I'm afraid.

OK 7 octave is a bit ridiculous. A piano only has 11. Pat on American Bandstand told Dick Clark that she had a 3 1/2 to 4 octave range.
@@darrinashby9019After looking it up her range is 4.5 octives.
However there is a singer that has a 10 octive range (Tim Storm).

boy, you picked the perfect first song
What you’re hearing is actually pretty tame for her. She can sing opera.
She ruled the 80s as a female singer. You guys need to listen to more of her music she has a huge music catalog......one of the greats for sure
Pat Benetar and Ann Wilson of Heart were the big women vocalist of that era and they’re still going strong. We Belong was a huge record for her back then.
rock queen of the 80's.. still sounds great today
pat benatar was classically trained as an opera singer. and she turned her powerful vocals into becoming a classic leading lady of rock
I love that her husband just smile's so big at her at the end.
She was a true Queen of Rock n Roll back in the 80's.... and still is today! They all are amazing!!! In my top 3!
She has such a big catalog . Her voice is amazing. A classical singer and then changed to rock. 😊
A petite classically trained singer that can can belt it out, combined with the killer guitar and awesome beat. What more can you ask for? So many great songs in her rock catalog. Live Hell is for Children, and Fire & Ice are 2 other favorites.
Pat Benatar...Fire and Ice, Shadows of the Night, Heartbreaker, Treat Me Right, Heartbreaker and several more I can't think of.
Pat Benatar and her Husband actually did a jazzy blues based album years ago that is also awesome.
Patty and her guitarist have been married forever.
She's from the general area I grew up in.
Oh, and "Love is a Battlefield" is another great Pat Benetar tune you'd probably like.
She has a lot to pick from though.
She's a trained opera singer and her and her guitar player are still married to this day.
She is still performing. You should hear her sing this live at Austin City Limits. She still sounds great

Right On!
"Fire And Ice" is one of my favorites by Benatar.
Love Pat's songs. I still play her CD greatest hits in my car. ❤
She's the best..... queen of R&R.
Love her so much 💜💜 what a powerhouse vocals. She is 72 now damn times flies. she definitely rocked us through the 80s. That's her husband Neil Gerardo on guitar
If I remember correctly, Pat had the 2nd video played on MTV, after "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles, when it premiered in 1981.
And the song was?
@@billallen1307 You Better Run
Glad you brought this up.
People needs to recognize.
Her husband is also the guitar player Neil Giraldo and driving force behind most of the music AND wrote for other artists as well....
They do not have a bad song.
I remember having a crush on her as a kid.
Late 70's early 80's she was crushing it on the radio.
Another Band during this time you should listen to with another great Singer, Rindy Ross, is Quarterflash.
Good reaction, got my Sub for this one.

Pat was fantastic live
Hearing her say "Thank you" after each song live was scary! I loved that show!
She does an AMAZING duet with Sheryl Crow called, "I Shall Believe"
The marriage & musical partnership of Pat and Neil (guitarist) blew up the 80’s and continues today!
The second video aired on MTV - You Better Run
Great Video!
She started as a classical vocalist, but thank goodness she switched to rock . . .
She trained as an opera singer!! So happy she switched to Rock!! ❤❤
@@danarussell1291 You should read her book, Between a Heart and a Rock Place. Pretty good!

One of if not the best Rock female rock vocalists ever .
That is what she sounds like live
That's a recording looped over a Live performance
I agree...I know this is the studio recording for the video but she sounded this good live
I was lucky enough to see her live in concert 1981 and 1982 and she sounds exactly the same. She’s fire live 🔥 ❤❤❤
"Hell is for children" is a MONSTER. Not what it sounds like...it's a well crafted song and the vocals are amazing.
Definitely my favorite song of theirs. It hits home for me.
QUEEN OF 80's ROCK! 🔥

Two songs to recommend that aren't among Pat's regularly chosen by fans, one just her and another as a duet.

Both Pat and her husband on lead guitar, Neil Gerardo were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a year or so ago. Althought Pat was classically trained as an opera singer she's a hard rocker. This performance is a banger. Thank you. She has a ton of hits.
I love that you kids are getting introduced to some of the best music ever which you weren't around to experience when it was originally released. Another Pat Benatar tune I think you'd like is "We Belong". She has killer pipes.
Killer Guitar Riff! 😎🔥🤘🎸
You better give Pat and Neil a lot more hears, They are awesome
Pat and Neil (the guitarist) are amazing musicians, but an even more amazing couple. They have been married for 42 years and together longer than that.
Yes, they are special.
Ass-kicking singer with the vocal chops to back it up. Saw her a couple years ago and she's still got the voice. She had 5 platinum and 2 multi-platinum albums in the 80s. Classic videos back then. "Love is a Battlefield", "Invincible", "Shadows of the Night", "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", "We Belong", "We Live For Love", on and on and on. Guitarist is husband Neil Gerardo.
Absolute best Power Duo in Pat and Neil Gerardo (Lead Guitarist) they have been married over 40 yrs. Pat was classically trained in Opera before switching to Rock,and we are all better for it. Drummer Myron Grombacher is a beast on the drum kit. Band is perfection live. Loved your reaction we all felt the same way when we seen them the first time way back when MTV started early 80s. They are still performing and still sound awesome!
