The Go-Go's - We Got The Beat (Live From The Today Show / 2020) 

Probably will downplay it and call it cringe.

@@taoist32 Then turn on Rap music...

@@raphaeljohnlall You mean real rap music? Run DMC, NWA, Bone Thugs N Harmony, etc.

@@taoist32 Grandpa, what do you mean you had a band called Public Enemy?

They might have suspected something was different when grandma did not tell them to "TURN THAT NOISE DOWN!" Maybe, when grandpa --what a lucky man they are!-- couldn't keep his hands off grandma --and those times that grandma couldn't keep her hands off grandpa either!-- and the chandeliers rocked to the beat! Having been accused of making too much noise and of watching some music videos at an ear splitting volume, the fortunate child that gets to play drums with abandon and encouragement has it made! Rob Reiner has spoken about how his children couldn't connect Michael Stivik with him; undoubtedly, a chorus of NAH! had to be silenced by a riff or two for the same reason.

I'm just a regular person in Boston media. I fight media wars on a desk. Maybe you can explain to kids for me. We lie about massacres n stuff. Boston media's United States. 1.23.21 RU-vid. Boston2024.

It’s not about you

​@@noway4281Fake and Gay

​@@P.J.MartyConepot calling the kettle

@@noway4281 We know, great covid stuff though. I love Belinda a lot more but it's still Jane. I love the girls for doing this. World needed some happy at the time.

I saw them in LA right before the RRHOF Induction, Kathy Valentine, who is the oldest, was by far the most active and having a blast.

Being 50 definitely give us the BEAT!

Me too buddy! ❤️

46 and 52 here!! Love and miss the 80's!!

56 here and still stuck in the 80s

I'm glad to see that the drummer is kicking

Everyone go vote. GoGo's are out of the top 5 currently. Who in the hell is Fela Kuti?

@@markmurphy6260 i really dont know.

@@markmurphy6260 Thats what I said. LOL

Did all of you watch the Go-Go's Documentary on SHOWTIME? I had forgotten that the band opened for the Police in the 80's! Stewart Copeland was interviewed and was asked if he thought the Go-Go's should be in the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame. He response was CLASSIC....... "What the fuck, they're not?" - Stewart Copeland of the Police

rock and blow hall of fame is just that. Pat is not in??? list goes on. Took how many years for RUSH to get in. Its a scam. These gals rock, for past 40+ years. They wrote their own songs, had number one singles and albums, changed the entire dynamic for woman. Who can hold a candle to them??? Not many if any. Rock N RHF suks

same.

Miss of Arc

Oh, yeah.

Get your eyes checked man. Old ladies club.

Kathy Valentine for me. And she looks the youngest here.

Go listen the Doja Cat's "Say So!" It's a nice throwback to 1977!

HEL YES! 80s rule!!!

they said that about the 60s too man

Check out miley cyrus's new music it is a throwback

@@devtrash 60s and 80s were awesome!

lots? I can only think of 3: We got the beat; Vacation; Our lips are sealed.

Head Over Heels Turn to You

Bless them. Still sound good. This was a girl band and not the rubbish we get nowadays.

One of my favorite drummers! Gina rules!!!

Me too

@@rationalthinker1 They're still 97 times cooler than you and twice as cool as me.

@@RideAcrossTheRiver LMAO for daysssssssss..... What a PERFECT come back to that ignorance.... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@rationalthinker1 Yes, I stand corrected. The Go-Go's are 97 times MORE cool than you and twice as cool as I.

@@rationalthinker1 It's a logarithmic scale. You are in the bottom 2 percent while I am in the top 50 percent.

@@rationalthinker1 Bottom 1 percent. Thanks for the correction

And on ZOOM no less!!👍👍

agreed

Yes, but sadly Pat Benatar is still waiting by the phone...

@@ACWerling yes she definitely deserves to be there too

@@ACWerling Pat Benatar stated she refuses to enter the hall of fame unless her husband Neil Girado is included along side of her which sadly will never happen. I have the utmost respect for Pat standing her ground because without Neil writing the music, there would be no Pat as we know her.

Congratulations ladies. Now, it's Cindi Lauper's turn

ya but Kathy Valentine is awesome, still like Belinda the best and her 80's dance.

She was always my favorite Go Go and still is

The drummer is still phenomenal.

Orlando agreed! They are all still awesome!!

Yes and love her hair!

60s and 70s by far

music went to shit in the 90's, imo. personally, i'd say the 70's was the best decade for music, next the 60's, then the 80's. i mean, if i'm being objective and honest. i'm an 80's brat for sure, but despite it having some of my favorite music, that's when it began to fall apart. rock lost the script, country i think began to lose its soul, and it began the era of pop music written by like two guys who wound up creating a literal music factory resulting in everything sounding the same. i never did like rap, but at least it was new, it amazes my how dumb it's become.

I agree.

And look great too, after 40 years!!!

And still very beautiful. Timeless beauty.

@@johntucker4896 never been a short haired girl kind of guy, but Jane has always been such a beautiful girl with her pixie cuts.

She finally has hair that will take any color as is and she goes for the blank canvas. I get it. Embracing the reality. But this is Jane we're talking about. It should be pink or purple. And kudos to Kathy and Gina for the colorful backdrops. I wish you'd coordinated all 5 to have a different color like talk show and vacation.

@@rodneytrotter3725 indeed, but I believe if Jane had worn long hair in the World on Fire video it would have gotten more play. That is hands down one of the greatest singles ever produced by anyone on team gogos. Id give anything for it to trade places with Rush Hour

@@aelius93 agreed. Huge thanks goes to Charlotte Caffey for coming up with the song!

Your dad knew good music.

Hats off to your dad

Sorry for your loss

🙏🏾

So sorry about the passing of your dad. He's in Heaven rocking to the Go Go's 🤗🙏🎸🎹🥁🎵🎶🎙❤

Nice! I just saw Belinda in NYC a few days ago, and the energy level in the room when this song started amped up so much! It was a great vibe.

They are *EXACTLY* the same. .. but older.

Age is a Social Construct . I mean just look at Joe Biden LOL

They play like old people. :P Watch a live video from the 80's Somebody lost a couple of steps. It's either Gina or the band can't keep up. Boost the speed up to 1.05x and see what sounds correct.

Me 2

These women are still fuckin hotter than ever 😮

The bassist is awesome!

They definitley had a moment bitd..a big enough moment to where they are still in the American concious in 2024.

Me too.growing up wasn't into their music, more into their beauty and actually played instruments. ❤

2024

Loved her cameo in the movie "Clue". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MRSTpj2Z5cU.html

and she was Joan Of Arc in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

so damn gorgeous

@@DanJanTube - girl can bass!

Yeah, I loved them ALL, but Jane was my favorite Go-Go.

Me too

Nyet Nine, they are almost 40 years older than when they originally recorded this song, you know. Give them a break.

Belinda sounds younger somehow! Love them so much!

@@brenainnmacthomais HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

They are lip syncing to their recording they made 30 years ago so yeah they sound great !

They have reconciled with Kathy since 2017..

Hi Kathy! Great to see you back with the girls!

The beat behind the "beat"

I'm glad to see she's playing. The last I'd heard, she had serious carpal tunnel from playing drums.

@@johngrooms34 Gina had major neck surgery in 2018 and was unable to play at any of the Go-Go's concert dates that year.

Lol,yeah tough beat

She has the best snare sound in rock and roll... ever.

That is a shame. I missed them 3 years in a row when in high school when they toured with INXS. I finally saw them 20 years later with Concrete Blonde opening for them. I was in front of Jane and got her guitar pick. Was an amazing experience. One of my favorite bands of all time.

Ok!

Awesome comment

aww come on..this is awful

Steven Brown May we all be as remembered and beloved 40 years later ☮️ & ❤️ dude.

@@kurtmcgaha921 im 52.i was around then.....it's my opinion...don't get me wrong belinda carlisle is brilliant......but this is just not good....👍

Where did the time go? Unbelievable how fast it went.

I'm 61 and they're still all older than me! Wow!

Join the club... the 80s was a fun neon time....lol

Growing up in the 80's with The Go Go's was the best.

Hey yeah, my 64 years have gone and I can remember them first time out.

Still get chills every damn time they hit that trademark Go-gos harmony.

@@unclejoe1917 Me too.

Their vocals are up there with some of the greatest. Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac , CSN and Eagles just to name a few.

With no mics even, its amazing!!

And rocked her headphones clean off her head!

Gina is THE GOAT when it comes to drums

I've always loved her drumming. Good, heavy thumping.

She’s great

@@davidcox3076 The very last second of the video! Thanks I missed that!

Journey wasn't for a long time either. The documentary will probably generate enough fan support the Hall of Fame will be shamed into putting them in. I remember when Pearl Jam was inducted in 2017, and their lead singer essentially said we aren't worthy of being here along side all of these groups that have been playing for 4, 5 decades.

Yes "The Runaways" were actually the first . The Go Go's were next and then The Bangles. All 3 are great Bands first two should definitely Be in the Hall of Fame.

@@jamescampbell4661 Bangles produced some beautiful music,

@@jamescampbell4661 True that... but *"The Runaways"* never really achieved the mainstream success that *"The Go-Gos"* did. Not that chart success or monetary gain are the only - or the most important - measures of a band's significance or impact. Truly there'd probably have been no Go-Gos were it not for the trailblazing Runaways... but as far as the OP's statement *"the first and only all female band who wrote and played their music to top the billboard charts",* that does indeed describe the Go-Gos...

ridiculous that they're not in the hall of fame (i thought they would've been already)... also crazy that duran duran aren't in either

Grandma's....Naaa. Mom's. Coolest mom's.....🤟

Grandmas Aunties, gotta love it.

hee:) right on

Amen

YES!!!!

I'll second that. :)

You Absolutely Got That Right!!! I'd rather have an all day root canal without anesthesia than to watch that horrid show!!!

@P Pp dude..buzzkill!! :P

I agree!!!

That's it I'm starting a letter-writing campaign!! Anyone and everyone who wants to participate write or email or whatever the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame bombard them with our thoughts on the travesty of the Go-Go's not being in the Hall of Fame!!

It's crazy they aren't in there

Never going to happen.. Jann Wanner is a dick. He has a gigantic grudge against them from the early 80s and with that asshat in charge they won't get in

Getting better with age

lol at 62 Belinda has finally lost her baby fat! She looks better than ever

@@bruins4rent213 Lot of surgery there.

She was also in the Germs.

I remember buying the Playboy Belinda Carlisle was in around 99. First Playboy I actually was able to buy legally. She's was in her 40's I think and very hot! Still have that copy as well.

@@JSchaffer214 I'm sure your lips are sealed. 😉

Gotta say I thought Kathy Valentine looked kinda hot here. Of all of them, time seems have been kindest to her.

@@WilliamT1964 yup.

It's not the Go Go's without any of them

I think they look & sound terrific! I'm glad they're all together. Best GoGos combo ever and yes thankfully Kathy is back :)

Kathy Valentine is my all time favorite female rocker hottie. 😍😍

I said before, they started their band in 1978, then started to get hits in the 80s,

80’s Best Music👍🏻

80’s the greatest decade

I've had a crush on her since 1981!

She has always been my favorite.

Totally my spirit animal.

Tiny woman, giant guitar. And all energy

And still rockin' the punk hair. Excellent!!!

EXCELLENT!

I thought her name was "Maxine of Arc".

@@Almost_Forgotten_Films I don't get it.

OMG, I didn't even recognize Jane when B&T hit the screens back in the day. Loved her solo record with "Blue Kiss" that came out around the same time.

@@Acujeremy When Bill and Ted are introducing the historic figures to Missy, they come up with goofy names - "Dave Beethoven", "Bob Genghis Kahn", "Herman the Kid", "Maxine of Arc", and "Abraham Lincoln".

Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

You mean *1981*

Its from 81

Actually originally released in 79 But re released in 81 and became a #2 hit There biggest hit

It's totally disrespectful that LOTS of amazing artists aren't in the RRHOF... it's a disgrace... My biggest non-inductee is Ronnie James Dio.. One of the greatest frontmen EVER!! Ok I've vented. Peace!!!

@@maxpower2542 What? Ronnie James Dio not in the RRHOF either. Now that's criminal.👎

@@Angel-vg2zf Nope. Pisses me off so bad. Arg!!!

Stop! Who cares if The Go-Go's are in that bullshit Hall of Fame? They have & will always have the rockin beat no matter what a bunch of bureaucrats say or do.

I think it's time to get rid of the committee who runs that place, the last draw for me was when they inducted depeche mode. Ronnie James Dio, Foreigner, Judas Priest, and Tina Turner are some other notable omissions

They should release an un sped up version with the original mix of Beauty and the Beat.

That's awesome!

Concerts in the 80's... those were some good days.

@@SPJBR Yes! As the saying goes, I may be old but I got to see all the cool bands. 😂

Gen z here 😂

It was called Muzak! No crap like today's stuff whatever want you call it.

Duran Duran over them, more diverse sounding and better back catalog of music

Millennials were alive in the 1980s

I'm a millennial and only listen to music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Sometimes 90s too

Me too! 😭

I felt same way. For me it was the beginning. Didn't think it was gonna be that good!

She had that thang

Thought the same. Heard of falling out. Kathy doing her own thing now. Not in Music though

I seen the Go Go's when they toured Australia, front row of their Canberra concert, right in front of Kathy.......................I think I fell in love that night. Great to see her now, still a stunning and very talented bass player.

What complete garbage. Belinda Carlisle and the drummer are complete non-talents.

Well...they arent exactly "her" natural looks. Shes had some work done.

Um, y'all did you hear her voice!? She sounds sooooo good! Pitch perfect and strong!

I know right!

She's friggin' awesome...and then some!!!

She's amazing. Her timing is still as impeccable as ever.

Her and Caroline Corr are the best female drummers 😁

She's THE GOAT

YES YES YES and YES!! Can we also have an interlude of Solo Belinda in that lineup? I would love to see all of these. Beauty and The Beat is in my top 5!

80’s marathon!

That could be a good show Baccus.

How much $ is a lot? My cutoff is around $300, which is what I paid to see the Eagles at MSG after I saw the Showtime History of the Eagles ($275). But Fleetwood Mac wanted $400 and I said stick it.

@@rudolphguarnacci197 Dang man that's a lot of money. The most I've spent for ant concert was maybe 150.00 total,that was for two tickets though,for one of the few concerts I've been to.

come on you know there is now way they would be that tight playing guitar in yard and the other in a garage come on don't be SO naive. LOL

LANY 2017 you’re a fool. It’s crazy what you can do with modern technology

@@jeffharder8706 Jeff first of all we ALL know that Belinda Carlise sounds awful live. And their is know way they recorded their parts at the same time. Their is ALWAYS a delay. You mean to tell me the whole band could play IN TIME without even seeing each other? LOL LOL LOL YOU ARE SO NAIVE

LANY 2017 Lany, buddy, first off, if you’re gonna try and bash someone, check your use of words (“their is know way”). Congrats you used two words correctly. Secondly, where in my reply did I say the band did this in one shot? All at once? I didn’t. Still it doesn’t negate the fact that the band couldn’t do a “live” show in this style. I know exactly how this was done. My friends are in a band (Far as Hell) and they would do the same types of videos. They told me how it’s done.

@@jeffharder8706 I know the difference and usage of "their, there and they're" just fine. Sometimes you make mistakes you douchebag grammar nazi.

Bigly? Please eradicate all Trumpism's from the human vocabulary.

I love her solo stuff too, Rush Hour, World On Fire, Cool Places, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Blue Kiss, Where We Can Go, My Travelling Heart, Lovers Night, Die Now Pay Later are some of my favourites.

@@gatekeeperboxing5898 Agreed. Belinda Carlisle was a toxic untalented hanger-on who contributed to the band breaking up because of her petty jealousy of the audiences paying more attention to Jane than her.

Agree!! 🤗

I thought I was the only one that noticed it hell yeah that was hell of a cute

Thanks. I hadn't noticed. Definitely her best moment. (In this video. I don't mean to demean her career.)

Thanks for pointing that out. You just made me love her even more (if that’s even possible).
