[@maggiereneemusic]

What should I react to next?! Sponsor a reaction on my channel here: www.maggierenee.com/book-me/sponsor-a-reaction-live

[@robertserafin-uc3qn]

Lita Ford PLEASE Kiss me Deadly ❤ Thank you

[@DSWilkes]

I know the Holidays are over but Ozzy and Jessica Simpson Winter Wonderland please. I know that Winter Wonderland, Let it Snow, Sleigh Ride, and Jingle Bells are considered worldwide to be Christmas songs, but there is no mention of Christmas in the lyrics of each song..

[@seannorton]

Well if your a trained Opera singer might I suggest Floor Jansen and NightWish.

[@sbalke7270]

The Bee Gees - Too Much Heaven would be a good one.

[@dhealer1]

Lita Ford has always been one of my favorite female singer/guitarists. She never got the recognition she should have. Her solo stuff is awesome too.

[@Peter-ny4mu]

I still use "Wake Up" as my alarm.

[@billclisham8668]

I will never understand how a man that can sing so clearly and beautifully talks like he has a mouth full of earthworms???

[@seannorton]

It's probably the 40 years of heroin and cocain.

[@roberthudson1959]

The explanation I have read is that singing and speaking are controlled by different parts of the brain. You also need to remember that this video is older than MR, so Ozzy was far more coherent.

[@dave9732]

The 80’s were so full of drama and theatrics with the music, but it really made it fun. Best era of music that has ever existed!

[@jduncanandroid]

Lita Ford is criminally underrated and under-remembered imho

[@dennycrane2101]

Agreed!

[@vickyrobertson3166]

I grew up in the 80's. I have always loved all kinds of music but I believe the 80's were the best.

[@robertknapp8328]

I definitely agree with you Vicky I grew up in the 80s too

[@jeffwooten5205]

I was born in 1961. I was fortunate have a sister 10 years older than me that turned me on to some great music!

[@jonahhex8178]

I was a teenager through most of the 80's. I kinda took it for granted back then. Didn't really appreciate how great that music was until it was gone.

[@MichaelPittman-l6h]

THE BEST ERA EVER!! I miss the 80s so bad!! The best time of my life!!!

[@madmitch3365]

Lita Ford’s “Kiss Me Deadly” Live at Wembly ‘89 really shows her guitar skills.

[@brianmcdonald7520]

i was 19 in 89 when i first saw this loved it.

[@stevewothers4209]

The 80's were such a great time

[@awitherow1202]

I remember when they played this on the radio back in the day.

[@mrcody333cam]

Lira Ford is truly a pioneer for female rock vocalists. She started out very young and created a style of her own that was very original for the era.

[@jonmaz8080]

I’m a child of the 80’s, MTV was the best thing in my life in my teen years. Looking back, the pop art of the 80s was walking away from the psychedelic and magical themes and aesthetics of the 70’s, reflecting the life experience in the big cities, and going with the industrial flow of the times, but they kept a sense of fantasy, and adventure. It was dramática and exciting, and surreal. Then a gentleman called Kurt Cobain came along and the drab, decadent and depressed mood of the 90s changed it all. It’s fascinating how art imitates life and vice versa.

[@chuckbradley9614]

Lita Ford was one of the original members of the band The Runaways.

[@firedoc5]

Beat me to it. LOL

[@MortuusNoctis]

I was a teen in the 80’s …this was an awesome song/video when it came out. Ozzy was crazy-cool and Lita was beautiful with her hair and ripped jeans …a great rock ballad then AND now 🎸

[@leehanson1416]

Lita is still busy rocking stages around the world. Bob Rock from Vinnie Vincent Invasion and Nelson is her drummer. I played with him a bit back in the early 80s in Houston before he moved to LA. Great drummer.

[@Klyde-t3d]

One can only really feel this song in person, Live!!!!!

[@deanjones8630]

I saw it live a few years ago in Amarillo. And she still brings it

[@cmiles97x38]

I never realized how good Ozzy's voice was until others tried to cover him during his Rock & Roll Hall of fame induction ceremony. This one shows it well as Lita has a great voice too.

[@beeepizzle]

Criminally underrated, classic duet power ballad🤘😎

[@robertlain6095]

Ozzy will always Rule❤

[@JeremyMiller-sn6nh]

One of the best rock/metal duets ever !!!! 🤘❤️‍🔥🤘 Lita Ford was my teenage rock crush 🥰

[@matthewgoodA1206]

Almost certainly the greatest heavy-metal duet of all time. Iconic. Something so classic about it in my view. 2 metal icons. I just have my doubts it’s been equaled.

[@manenkoff]

Back then, when this came out, this was considered epic. Even though we would watch the video, we mostly just listened to and felt the music. The video style was also very common in that era with the simplicity and lighting effects. You'll see it in other videos from back then as well. It should also be noted that they came up with this song "by accident" during a night at the studio after some heavy drinking and drugs. Such a legendary "accident" in music history.

[@justme2]

3:35 That's Ozzie's signature look. (Snarl)

[@kennethbutler1343]

When this came out it was a huge hit. Everyone, including myself, liked it.

[@waynefinnicumbb7218]

6:39 Been waiting on this one, beautiful! Awesome reaction! When this came out, I was blown away. Always listened to the radio or MTV to catch it, bought the cd when I had the cash. Still have it. Was great to have some of the best music in the 80s.

[@DaveHPT]

Great track. Met Lita circa 1992 or so and got her autograph on a guitar strap. She was nice!

[@AnthonyLaMastra]

I still have Lita Ford’s CDs that I bought brand new in high school when this first came out. I feel like she was coming out of the shadow of Joan Jett when they were in the Runaways together. Her pairing with Ozzy on this song really was the push she needed. Not only did guys my age think she was super hot, but this song solidified her as a bonafide metal rocker chic!

[@keithdean9149]

I always thought Lita was more talented than Joan.

[@alexthorpe6583]

A short lived band called Device covered this song in 2013. Vocals by Lzzy Hale and David Draiman. It was a side project for David so he could try singing in an Industrial band.

[@nopenotgonna175]

Halestorm and Lita toured together in 2014? 2016? I saw them in New York. Lzzy Hale joined for this song. Epic. 😍

[@evalindenstrm6492]

THE BEST SONG EVER 😘

[@spudzilla66]

My local pub had a video juke box , these were the tunes we played , we were amazed by this new stuff ...Videos with music , it was a mad time , bands literally went stratospheric off the back of a good video . With the advent of this new tv channel called MTV we were mesmerised by this whole new way of seeing and hearing music . crazy times .

[@arcticgumby3542]

I just realized Ozzy was only 39 at the time of the filming of this video.

[@robertserafin-uc3qn]

History lesson, Lita Ford &.Joan Jett were in an all girl group together, called The Runaways . Joan became more famous but When this came , She also got her dues paid. She has some really good songs in her catalog. Kiss Me Deadly was her Biggest hit

[@keithdean9149]

I think this was her biggest hit and Ozzy’s biggest single until he released “Momma I’m Coming Home.”

[@Captain_Commenter]

Ozzy, you see, is also for me.

[@n5iln]

I saw Lita Ford as the second act of a triple-bill show right after this hit heavy rotation on MTV. I thought then, and I still think, that as a guitarist she's woefully underrated.

[@joselopez-xk5nt]

Hello Maggie! I remember videos like this being great to watch in the 80s. It helped to keep the youngsters entertained in an era before the internet.

[@trevalarose8155]

She was in a band with Joan Jett called the Runaways.

[@scottlambert2949]

Another suggestion for you by Lita Ford called "kiss me deadly"

[@lloyderc]

I was a teen in the 80s and it was bad ass. And Lita has always been the most beutiful female in my eys

[@PatR2243]

Haven't heard this in too long.

[@marcustidholm6775]

I bought this record(vinyl) then if came out, and I still have it. :) This was just the the style of the 80s, like many other hardrock ballads.

[@briantieken6718]

Ozzy and Lita wrote and recorded this song one day when they were waiting for Sharon to return from running errands.

[@Aikikris]

Loved Lita Ford when this video with Ozzy came out. She should have had a bigger career.

[@ozzyfan7299]

Ozzy doesn't just make crazy faces. He's the real deal....bat shit crazy.

[@BillyJames8880]

That's why he was called The Prince of darkness

[@bryanpscolka7280]

You need to check out more of lita ford. Her vocals are awesome. Watched her when she first started. I have all of her albums.

[@helenlayton1455]

I can't believe I remember when they were that young

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

David Draiman from Disturbed and Lzzy Hale from Halestorm did an awesome cover on David’s side project Device

[@bluedogguy]

This song is a vibe. Either you feel it, or you don't. Technically, it's okay. Instrumentally it's good. But this is one of those songs where it's greater than the sum of it's parts. Really awesome song.

[@laraismyname821]

We loved the videos. MTV was EVERYTHING. They'd hype the release of new videos for like weeks beforehand. Usually the videos came after the song was somewhat of a radio hit already--but sometimes artists would debut new songs with the MTV video. New music videos by your favorite singers/bands were a big deal. Remember this was all new so it didn't seem nearly as cheesy--since we literally had no point of reference to compare to. There was no Internet or KZbin. Sometimes you never even knew what a musician/band looked like until the video came on MTV.

[@SuperStrik9]

Love the BC Rich doubleneck guitar Lita is playing in the video.

[@greggwolfe935]

Great song they wrote this when they happened to be in the same re_hab they bonded while they were there 🎉

[@shannonherb2048]

I love to hear or watch ya listen to the oz man and Lita. Oh and you look amazing

[@nitro_001newman2]

Ozzy with the Prince of Darkness look.

[@dannymahaffey5457]

Check out some of Lita's earlier songs, as well as The Runaways.

[@merlekeif4835]

Lita was one of the founding members of The Runaways along with Joan Jett

[@Deadwood1919]

We were more on the song than the video. Lita was my 80s rock crush.

[@ericmanbeck6099]

she came to are locxal guitar shop and we lined up to have her sign our guitars back than

[@pegajense]

Loved this song when it came out still waiting for you to check out Journey Mother Father live in Houston ❤

[@joehodgett3376]

Ozzy wrote the song for Lita, but I can't lie, my wife and I sing this song at karaoke night, and always get a good crowd reaction.

[@jessgorman089]

So good

[@nopenotgonna175]

As for how the videos appeared, they were filmed for standard definition TV. So, the backdrops had to be over the top and makeup was applied with a concrete float. I suspect that’s one of the reasons it looks extra cheesy in HD. 😂

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

Lita Ford and Joan Jett were in the group The Runaways together.

[@robertpetre9378]

Ozzy is so Ozzy

[@nikosalmpanis-ty3jt]

Fantastic song🤘

[@arcticgumby3542]

I can see Amy Lee of Evanescence and Jonathan Davis of KoRn covering this song.

[@davedavidm4996]

Now we should all know what putting all the modren electronics can do with the music. I like the song but I also heard both before the electronics hit/ No dought it inhanced their voices, I'm not mad but this is a great example of now style music and the past with no electronics.

[@dconley1964]

As one who remembers tv before MTV, I think ANY music video in the 80's was cherished because there were so few of them. Overpopulation makes us indifferent.

[@Valdagast]

If someone asks you what the 80s were like, you can just show them this video. It's perfect. Re how we reacted: 80s media has something that is badly missing from today's media, and that is sincerity. We empathized with these emotions because they were real, and the artists put themselves at risk expressing them. Today it's all post-ironic clever Joss Whedon-quips and nothing is ever sincere. At least that's how I feel.

[@JamesMalone-td2ky]

Hee hee... This wasn't "so 80's" this was all 80's . Two legendary artists, singing a duet, in a style neither was known for. And as a teenager in the 80's this was peak cool.

[@helenlayton1455]

So cool

[@you166mhz]

here's an idea --- when you do your next 80"s song -- have your hair poof up like Lita Ford -- I believe you will be fantastic .....

[@stevewothers4209]

Lita is another member of the runaways that went on to more fame

[@keithdean9149]

My reaction, when I first saw this video was holy s****. Ozzy and Lita wrote this song over the course of one night. Lita would later state that Ozzy wrote almost all the lyrics and seemed very upset while writing. Lita went on to say, Sharon (Ozzy’s Wife and Lita’s Manager) was very angry with them for having spent a night together even though they were just working on the song. For a long time, Lita really didn’t understand what was going on. This song is an apology from Ozzy to Sharon, for cheating on her.

[@kallsop2]

I was 25 when this came out and my reaction was a bit of both, but then again it's Ozzy and you expect that from him. I still like the song today, but at the time my music tastes had shifted towards Stevie Ray Vaughn and blues as well as towards jazz.

[@michaelbara959]

Lita Ford and Ozzy filmed the video at separate locations.

[@Chast74]

David from disturbed covered this with his band device w/lzzy hale of halestorm.

[@paulrt3]

Should check out the Ozzy's song "Ordinary Man." The song is a power ballad featuring fellow English musician Elton John on piano and vocals. It also features Slash on guitar, Duff McKagan on bass (both from Guns N' Roses), and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers on drums. Check out the video!

[@movieloverforlife]

Hi I'm new to you your channel. I like your fun reactions to songs. I see you are an Opera singer, so I think you would love Miljenko Matijevic's voice, if you haven't heard him yet. He was the singer of the group Steelheart. You should check out their song "I'll never let you go."

[@hugofernandes9318]

Please try to react to Body Count doing a cover/version of "Comfortably Numb" (yes that one from Pink Floyd), with the one and only Mr. David Gilmour shredding the guitar. You'll be amazed. If you don't know, Body Count are a american metal band with the rapper Ice-T on vocals. Keep rockin. Peace

[@robertobravo6834]

Try "Carry On Wayward Son" by Kansas.

[@MikeBarnett1776]

Now try the Liliac cover version.

[@nopenotgonna175]

In her memoir, Lita recounts that Sharon was convinced that she and Ozzy were having an affair. Lita said, “I was not sleeping with Ozzy Osbourne. I was sleeping with Jon Bon Jovi.” 😂 Unfortunately, Sharon worked pretty hard to sabotage Lita’s career.

[@dirtysmity]

Lita is def up on the Rock God list for females and well OZZY is the Prince of fucking Darkness and released music in 2025

[@dhealer1]

Why not try Lita's solo hits, Kiss Me deadly and Shot of Poison. they were big hits

[@mikenolan8044]

Good video! Good reaction!

[@robertlain6095]

Graveyard by Ozzy you should react!

[@briantieken6718]

The jeans Lita is wearing she bought off of a lineworker she saw on the way home for a hundred dollars.

[@keithdean9149]

I remember when ripped jeans got popular in the 80s. A girl I went to school with was walking through a mall wearing a pair. She had ripped herself when a woman walked up to her and offered to buy those jeans off of her. I also remember, parents freaking out because they spent good money on a pair of brand new jeans only to have their kid take scissors or a razor blade to them in order to make those jeans fashionable.

[@G4nda1f]

Reaction suggestion: Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole

[@marty6945]

Hi, Maggie try Ozzzzzzzy´s official video "Perry Mason"👍👍👍👍

[@SergioCaceres-sc2bo]

Hola Maggiee, soy de Argentina, escribire en español ya que ingles no se nada jajajaja perdon. Me gustan mucho tus reacciones. Deberas creerme que las escucho hace mucho tiempo, desde mas o menos desde Luis Miguel. Me gustaria mucho si pudieras reaccionar a algun cantante argentino. Luciano Pereyra (cantante) cualquier cancion ejemplo cancion No Puedo en el teatro colon de argentina con una sinfonica; otro cantante Abel Pintos tambien cual quier cancion ejemplo El Adivino (en vivo estadio River Plate). Bueno hay muchos cantantes en mi pais que son muy buenos ya que se preocupan mucho por estudiar, cuidarse etc. Deseo que sepas que me es muy grato poderte seguir desde tan lejos, haces muy bien este trabajo. Muchas gracias.

[@LaawrenceCollier]

just think about it. That was his face after he got off the drugs!

[@billtroxell7583]

yes it's from the 80's, the best years of my life and the music was so good then, they put emotions into the videos back then, I'm just not a huge fan of music today, it's not as good and it's sure not the diamond standard of rock today

[@jeffreyphipps1507]

Well it is kinda sad, and Lita Ford had a bad life. Back in the 80s, I liked her song "Kiss Me Deadly" - much more upbeat.

[@blafonovision4342]

80's was about excess.

[@firedoc5]

Lita is not one of the greatest female guitarists of all-time, she's one of the greatest guitarists of all time period.

[@alexrossi4464]

Next,, lita Ford (. 💋 Kiss me deadly)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Americaisback25]

This day and age SUCKS. This was a time when music was REAL.

[@bobharp3492]

Hello beautiful great choice of music

[@denouncepricegouging1]

one of your caterpillars on your eyelashes is escaping. Maybe being genuine and real would stop it from happening

[@userz9481]

We thought she was the coolest thing ever
