HOW CAN SOMEONE SO TINY BE SO POWERFUL? First Time Hearing Pat Benatar - All Fired Up Reaction!

[@wordgiesworld5483]

“I gotta turn this up”. That’s exactly what I said when it first played on the radio (WNOR 99 out of Virginia Beach), but the stereo in my truck couldn’t get near as loud as I wanted. Always loved this song.

[@Mare_bear738]

"Heartbreaker", "We Belong", "Fire and Ice" & "Invincible" are excellent songs too!! and of course, her live performance of "Hell Is For Children."

[@johnwoodworth9127]

One of my fav songs by her is Hell is for Children, a song she wrote to increase awareness of child abuse. It's a somewhat brutal but very powerful song with lots of emotion.

[@StuartistStudio1964]

"Hell is For Children" is a thought provoking song about the very difficult and heartbreaking topic of child abuse and neglect. It's not the usual rock as entertainment song, but rather one to bring light into the darkness.

[@rogercaruso9337]

I agree

[@rogercaruso9337]

The lead guitar player is her husband.

[@BlackieNuff]

Couple that with "Suffer The Little Children".

[@donnasmith5942]

Absolutely love this song. So full of energy! Pat Benatar's vocals are so strong and powerful!

[@rickhawk22]

One of my favorites from her band!!! Just gets you going and jumping when it comes back up and she explodes!!

[@BlackieNuff]

This has such a great groove. High energy, pump-you-up rock-out song.

[@TexasMagnolia]

A must remember: Pat writes the lyrics. Neil is the music composer. Their partnership & marriage is a legendary! Love them!

[@Mare_bear738]

👍 and they made this cover song their own❣️

[@davidnorth-martino]

Great reaction as always! Love this song! I saw her on this tour in November of 1988. It was one of my first rock concerts. I was 17 years old. She performed at the Franklin Pierce College Fieldhouse (now University) in NH. A very small venue, but she performed as if it were an arena. I worked my way to the front of the stage! Rhythm Corps opened and hung out with everyone after the show.

[@michaelasay8587]

I went to that tour in 1988 in Long Beach I think😮

[@davidnorth-martino]

@@michaelasay8587 Awesome! I bet it was a great show!

[@dustinjones8887]

Love Benatar! I saw her 11 years ago and she can still rock down the house

[@RandyDeShong-xq1bo]

"Hell is for children". Dark deep song

[@ConnieHall63]

Love Pat! She was a trained opera singer. I have seen several comments mentioning "Hell Is For Children". Yes. It's dark, but very powerful.

[@dandundon9503]

Finally, my favorite Pat Benatar song!

[@jotave65]

"Heartbreaker", "You Better Run", "Fire and Ice", "Treat Me Right", "Hell Is for Children", "You Belong"... and more.

[@christianmattison6096]

Benatar trained as on operatic soloist. But then this little lady switched over to rock and exploded onto the airwaves with the power of vocal artillery with songs like "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" & "You Better Run" among the others listed. Pat Benatar set a high standard for lady rockers who followed her and stands at the top of the heap.

[@oldschoolfink3212]

Pat wrote this while pregnant with her first daughter, Hailey I think is her name. Pat and Neil took like 5 or 6 years off to start their family, this was her first single coming back.

[@Mare_bear738]

👍 This particular song is a rocker! Yes, I agree there are other great songs by Pat Benatar ❣️ but it always feels good to rock🎉.

[@Mare_bear738]

Pat had been on about a 3 year break before this song was recorded & released. Pat had given birth to her & Neil's first child during that stretch of time. This song was/is often an opening song for them at concerts/events. Unfortunately, this was Pat's last Billboard charting song, but it was still nominated for a grammy! Pat's vocals are superb. She has many other excellent songs yet to be explored, and her & Neil are still rockin today❣️ Thank you for this one.🎉

[@groovydjs]

HELL IS FOR CHILDREN will end up being the big request for the next one.

[@aura81295]

I grew up in the 80s and was a fan of Pat, but I had never seen this video before. I may have heard the song without really listening to the lyrics. So glad you reacted to this one where I actually paid attention more closely. The messaging is on point. Maybe it is something I needed enough time and life experience to appreciate. It is fun to go back to the classics with the perspective of younger generations pointing out things that I didn't realize influenced my musical preference so much, particularly the dramatic "anthem" as well as the chanting aspects of many of my favorite high energy songs. They were perfect for parties, clubs, or anytime you wanted to get pumped up. 🤘

[@PaulPuccilo-r8i]

Love me some Pat Benatar

[@donchurchwell653]

Saw her in concert a few times, she likes to open with this song.

[@rockerforlife194]

I don't always listen to Pat Benatar but, when I do, so do the neighbors! Great Reaction! 👍👍

[@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus]

When I saw her live 15 years ago they opened with this song. Mid ways through the next song a couple comes in late and sits beside us. The girl says "I hope we got here in time, have they played 'All Fired Up' Yet?" Ouch! 'Suffer The Little Children/Hell Is For Children' or 'Outlaw Blues' next maybe? Best of the season. Cheers.

[@Mare_bear738]

@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus Ouch is right. I'm pretty sure they usually use All Fired Up as an opener. Bummer for that couple.

[@jaydoubleu3419]

I saw Pat in 1986 when I was 16 I’ve always loved her voice

[@TerryStrain-f1y]

You saw Pat... just helping you.... You have seen Pat, in 1986... proper English, just helping you, don't be offended..

[@jaydoubleu3419]

@ I’m not offended and thank you

[@c-media-businessoffice]

Solid request, Mary! I’m ready to take on the week now.

[@tomaleshire4145]

Great song for your workout playlist!💯🤗❤️✌️

[@karinanderson9722]

This is one my favorite of Pat’s songs. If you want to see a different side of Pat check out We Belong. Fantastic!

[@nickbovi]

It was Neil "Spyder" Giraldo's(Pat's husband) 69th birthday yesterday, he is the blonde guy playing guitar in the video.

[@Mare_bear738]

🥳

[@shanedesselle2590]

We Belong!

[@leemiracle6840]

Such a good album.

[@msfoodiediva]

Luv this song

[@markhodge7]

Most excellent!

[@vicprovost2561]

She Rocked Big-Time, you guys just have not heard enough of her catalog. Her albums were filled with rockers but she would have several ballads or mid-tempo numbers, amongst unique and stylish songs that often became hits. BUT when they put the peddle to the meddle, they could bang with the best of them. See their 1983 Concert in the New Haven Colosseum for a totally killer set, do Heartbreaker Live from it for them at their rocking apex. Neal Geraldo, her husband and lead guitarist since they started a band in the 70s, just totally rips on Heartbreaker there, he unleashes his inner Pete Townsend to epic effect. You have to check it out sometime, I saw it live and it freaked us all out! Enjoy. 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎶🔥

[@Mare_bear738]

@@vicprovost2561 Heartbreaker for sure🔥

[@billpudim5067]

She’s amazing! We share a birthdate.

[@firebird7479]

If you want to react to someone so tiny yet so powerful, go back to the early 1970s and react to Suzi Quatro. Suzi predates Benatar, Joan Jett & the Runaways (Who copied Suzi's look), Debbie Harry and others. She's from Detroit, moved to England and became a worldwide sensation -- except in her home country because radio didn't know what to do with her. In the US, she's best known as Leather Tuscadero, a recurring character on the TV series, "Happy Days" and had a pop hit duet called "Stumbling In". She was the first female lead singer who was also a bass player. "Can the Can", "Devil Gate Drive" are good places to start. There is an excellent documentary on her life called "Suzi Q".

[@Mare_bear738]

Suzi Q 👍

[@karenv4607]

Pat can sing anything Invincible, We Belong, hell is for children

[@marybloody615]

Another Canadian to check is Colin James . Some of his best are 1) Voodoo Thing 2)Chicks and Cars and a Third World War 3)Just Came Back 4)Five Long Years . All are good

[@GS-xt8fu]

Many people don’t realize how many songs she put out unless you grew up with her and I did period. I believe she had eight platinum albums in a row. I would say her and her husband are retired quite comfortably

[@richcruddas5360]

There is something about Mary.

[@rogercaruso9337]

The lead guitarist is her husband.

[@marybloody615]

Check out what else Alannah Myles does besides "Black Velvet . "Still Got this Thing for You" is similar to All Fired Up .That plus "Love Is"

[@richardkint6531]

This was the end of her charted song success. IMO, her songs were becoming cookie cutters of her earlier songs. Times were changing and big hair bands and new jack swing music was on the forefront. Check out her earlier songs Precious Time, Anxiety (Get Nervous), and Hell is For Children. Thanks. 😊.

Ella está hermosa y que su vestido hace ver su figura, yo estoy vieja y me lo pondría, es un vestido largo con tiritas, que quiere que se vista cómo una monja.

Myron on drums on the album track but not in the video. 🤔

[@micheallandry]

Phil and Samatha- You are doing a terrific job with your song reactions.I would love for you to react to the song “Pieces of Dreams” by Johnny Mathis.The Live version from the Tobight show.Johnny was Barbra Streisand’s favorite singer when she was younger. She has said of him:”Thereare good singers; there are hand ful of truly great singers; and then there is JohnnyMathis”.He is the third best-selling recording artist of the past century behind Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. This is a phenomenal performance by Johnny.A Must See !!I am certain you will enjoy it and be floored b❤y it.Please react tout.He received two standing ovations that particular night.y

Hell is the children?

Please reaction to TESKEY BROTHERS song RAIN and other songs thanks

[@danielspuzak2846]

Great Song. Love Pat. I hate the Video. It's trying to compete with the song.

[@TheWhanfried]

Filmed to not show her face in. Detail. Oh well

[@davestang5454]

Tiny women with giant voices are not so uncommon. Think about Christina Aguilera.

[@mikefixx7177]

Love Pat Benatar just not this song. We live for love-Promises in the Dark- Invincible and You better run are a few better ones in my opinion.

[@anth5189]

Was? Still is.

[@konradkanuckle5920]

Don't know how to ask... But a mention of what size of " coffee " would get a request ?? I have a video you may enjoy... Kinda like when you had fun with " the CULT "....laughing about Sam. From west coast Canada 🇨🇦, peace. Maybe leave on my namesake channel...?? No subs, I don't produce. Thnx. Never did this before..asking to " break my cherry 🍒 "..haha ??!!
