She won the Grammy for best female rock performance 4 years in a row, so I’d say she is legendary. Check out Promises in the Dark and also Hell is for Children. You’ll be impressed.
2nd video on MTV was Pat Benatar. Classically trained opera singer so her voice was always on point. There was a time Rock radio didn't play women. Then Rock radio would play Pat Benatar and one other female in their rotation. So many great songs. Hit Me With Your Best Shot. Hell is For Children are musts
#BassTwinsReact Pat Benatar is 100% rock. As another commenter said... "She won the Grammy for best female rock performance 4 years in a row, so I’d say she is legendary. " She was massively huge back in the day.
Pat Benatar is an absolute Rock icon she was rock n roll and then did some pop songs - Invincible, Promises in The Dark, Hit me with your best shot, love Is a battlefield , we belong she had 19 Top 40 hits
She probably ranks #2 behind Ann Wilson of Heart, but she’s my number one. Her and Joan Jett are the badass chicks of rock music. Today it’s Lzzy Hale of Halestorm.
Studio version is a powerhouse of vocal prowess. Her voice is full of strength, grit and passion all wrap up in one unbelievable package. She's amazing - check out "Promises In the dark" and "Hell Is for children"
Guitarist, Neil Giraldo, she married him a few years later after joining the band. The song, Heartbreaker was released as the second single off "In the heat of the night" her debut album. 1979, the time of the release, Pat was somewhat of a rarity. a female leading up an all male rock band. Heartbreaker went on to become a signature song in both style and substance for her. The live video you watched was from the concert that became her live album "Live on earth". She's truly a rock legend.
Pat trained in Opera. Her husband and guitarist, Neil Giraldo, also played lead guitar for John Waite on his early solo albums. He has a very unique style.
To this day I hear or see her and it puts me right back to the early 80's when I was like 10 when I first remember seeing and hearing her...she is Amazing. Still singing today. Still beautiful. Married to the guitarist since the 80's. She is one of the best. Icon.
You should do "Promises In The Dark" video. She is one of the best female voice in rock. Neal Giraldo is the lead underrated guitar player & her husband. 😎
I had every one of her albums on vinyl back then. Her husband is the lead guitarist. She’s amazing. A trained opera singer. Wuthering Heights is a deep track-hidden gem. One of my favorites from her. Check it out.
The song came out in Fall of 1979 off her debut album. Benatar is one of the most popular female rock singers in history. Check out "Hell is For Children", "Fire & Ice", "Treat Me Right" & her cover of "You Better Run". 👊
Pat Benetar is great. You guys should check out Band Maid & The Warning. They're 2 current all female rock bands Maybe start with Band Maid - Thrill & The Warning - Money
She was accepted in the very prestigious "Julliard" but, ran off and got married and, the rest is history for that part. A super good example at the level Pat Benatar was, watch "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" The "Rocker Chic's" dressed like her at every high school and, Cameron Crowe gives her homage among many others in that movie. Nancy Wilson also has a "Cameo" in it.
Pat Benetar undeniably top 5 powerhouse women of rock. -Fire & Ice -Hell is for children -You better run -All fired up -Promises in the dark Just to name a few😉
Im actually going to see her next month. I was in middle school when she came out. She was one of the best female singers at that time. Her and Heart were amazing...although there was handful of others then, but those are my favs.
Pat Benatar is top 10. She's up there with Blondie, Joan Jett, Ann Wilson, Kim Wilde, Chrissy Amphlett and the like. She hit the stage in a big way in the late 1970's (this is a 1979 song) and had a string of hits like Love Is A Battlefield, Hit Me With Your Best Shot and Hell Is For Children. She's a multi-platinum artist with over 36 million album sales.
First off, Pat wasn't rock music at the time this sing was released. She was a part of the NuWav sound that was an offshoot of punk rock. Bands that wore strange and outrageous outfits, bucking the trends and system wherever they can. And playing the kind of music they wanted to play, and not what the industry wanted to hear. By her 4th album, music had changed, and those who didn't end up on the rock side helped to start the alternative music scene. And yes, the album version is just as hard. Side note: Pat was a huge fan of Kate Bush. Since she was a trained singer, she did a cover of Kate's Wuthering Heights on her Crimes of Passion album. Later, on her album Side Awake in Dreamland, the first song in the album had a line, 'Gotta feel the kick inside'. This referred to Kate Bush's dust album, The Kick Inside.
Pat did both rock and pop but not by choice. She wanted to do more rock but when you're signed to a record contract you do what you're told. The top executives had to approve the songs she did on her albums and they wanted more pop because it sold better. She couldn't wait to finish her contract so she could do more of what she wanted, but her contract was for 7 albums (her 7th album was titled 7 The Hard Way for a reason, lol)............that took a while. But she still had tons of awesome songs worth checking out like Promises in the Dark, Fire and Ice, You Better Run, Never Gonna Leave You, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Shadows of the Night, We Live For Love, and her best pop song, We Belong, among many other great songs!
Definitely Hell is for Children and Shadows of Night are 2 of my favorites. Pat has one of the best female rock vocals to me, it kinda reminds me of Joan Jett with the raspiness.
🎸🎶 Benatar is aggressively cool live or studio version. What you here is truly her opera voice rocking out. She definitely is an icon in rock history. She was up there with Blondie in the 80s definitely. React to "You better run" ..."Promises in the dark" ..."We belong".."treat me right"... 🎶 🎸
Wanted to comment on what I want u to review , Heart cover of stairway to heaven , they sing it in front of Led Zeppelin band members at Kennedy center honors , it’s a great tribute to the original
This song didn't do her vocal range any justice. Pat was training to be a coloratura at Julliard Her song Love is a Battlefield displays her range better. Check out her bio on Wikipedia it's a good read
She started off singing rock - then got an MTV makeover and went soft with huge video hits along with style - then lost all credibility as the late 80's early 90's hit - has been touring the last 40 years with Hubby and doing well. A good strong voice - but not as iconic as other girl or girl fronted bands of the early 80's/
