Heart’s Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson on How The Band Got Its Start | The Big Interview

[@garywagner2466]

Nancy Wilson is gorgeous and can play the guitar. Ann is gorgeous with the voice of an angel. What more do you need to know?

[@patricialavallee8286]

Both of these women are legends. Ann Wilson, those pipes! NONE can compare! Rock on ladies♥️!

[@capricornk9033]

Their speaking voices are just as beautiful as their singing voices.

[@CarrieHamptonPhotography]

they sound almost exactly the same too, when they talk

[@robertamcden7230]

When you hear Ann talk you know she has a great singing voice.

[@agp7073]

Ann's vocals on Barracuda still blows my mind when I hear it! Amazing!!

[@thomashusted]

They certainly lead the way by breaking the barriers for women in rock n roll. And when they performed Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy center it was so amazing Robert Plant who was there teared up.

[@Dan0__]

Yeah the Stairway to Heaven performance was the ultimate tribute! I've seen many tributes but nobody's gonna top that one!

[@francinecorry633]

Yes indeed,an extraordinary performance that gave us goose`ys all over.Just outstanding.Well done ladies!

[@jeffthewhiff]

It took a lot of courage for these ladies to make the kind of music they wanted to make and I would say that everything turned-out pretty darn well for them!👍

[@BobMinelli]

I SHALL dub them "The QUEENS of ROCK...HEART & SOULS" 💜💚

[@RAYJOS]

The serious problem with Ann and Nancy Wilson is that even though they have complained about sexual predators in their business they still cover, and possible idolize, the likes of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page who are well known pedophiles.

[@ratter531]

Ann and Nancy true legends.

[@lynusbinkley90]

Hands down, one of the best bands EVER!

[@DavidLongo22]

They won me over in the 70s and have had me since.

[@ceceruch2502]

Ann is still breathe taking ❤

[@Tuinuiski]

Love Heart ♥ so much! Ann's voice is amazing. Nancy is great with both vocals and guitar.

[@lisanester3338]

It may have been hurtful, but you ladies ROCKED ON!! Still do.

[@Itisallinyourmind33]

It’s a pleasure watching Dan Rather fall in love. We know the feeling Dan 💛

[@mgansworth78]

My mom and my Aunt used to play Heart all the time so me and my cousin used to play Ann and Nancy ! ❤❤ I was Ann because I had the brown hair and my cousin was a blonde so she was Nancy. They are such strong women with amazing voices and so talented!! Love them !!

[@janetstokes1806]

these women seem like a real gem of humans. You rock women!

[@davindampen]

They should be touring this year for their 50th Union they started 1973 ..it's a shame that they aren't together pounding out some really hard rock as they were the best band that I've ever seen or heard live.

[@gthomas3964]

I just heard that both Ann and Nancy are back together writing music...Sounds Great...

[@dianakariajeleyva3073]

Saw them in 1984 each one so talented and Rock n Roll Icons Not chicks, Not W9men, not girls , Not Babes , They are Ladies beautiful ladies that are great Rock n Roll Artist. I Thank them for their self respect and pride to be a Lady. That let it all hang out. vocally and instrumentally still the best ladies in Rock n Roll

[@chrisconny2285]

Love them glad I got to see them many times . Wish they would come back

[@sdseals2076]

My favorite female rock group of all time.

[@richardhemenway7528]

This is one of the primary band of the ages and I was 22 when they hit the music scene and have followed them ever since. ❤❤

[@stonew1927]

I got to see them in concert in Los Angeles. My mom was a fan. It was her idea. It was a great concert!

[@bawilms]

An all-time favorite of mine!

[@Dave-xs9dm]

I started around age 5. In 6th grade , took lessons at reichs music, and there was my first clinic with Michael de rosier. He had just dropped out of heart. Very skilled

[@longlost8424]

I still remember the day (back in the 70s) I heard the intro to "magic man" in my cousin's room through his kenwood receiver and quad bose 901s....... been a fan ever since.......

[@jaynerdrum3546]

Incredible talent. I had the privilege and opportunity to see them play live in the late 70s and early 80s. Amazing! Yes, Nancy Wilson was plugged in. Both times.

[@stevepeterson5943]

Class of '86 Heart all the way baby!!!

[@WhyTheHorseface]

Highly recommend Holly Knight’s book “I Am The Warrior - My Crazy Life Writing the Hits and Rocking the MTV 80’s”. She tells so many great stories, including of meeting and beginning her friendship with these ladies! Great book about a strong woman in a male dominated industry!

[@davindampen]

Holly knights band Spider was the best new band of 1980 the other best album of 1980 was hearts babe lestrange

Ann and Nancy Wilson are aging gracefully, they look gorgeous, I was a Heart fan particularly with their 70's stuff with albums like Dreamboat Annie, Magazine, Little Queen & Dog & Butterfly. I loved Ann she was a hot rock girl!

love Heart - You both look great. Legends.

Good to see them together again.

[@queenboudicca31]

And Nancy - absolute killer on the guitar...

[@acemacgruber6593]

The Heart band with the original lineup is the Heart most people want to see. Imo, Ann and Nancy aren’t Heart without Fossen, Derosier, Leese, and Fisher.😮

[@Van_Liberty]

I can say as a teenage man Totally into KISS and the like during those years, I Never looked at Ann and Nancy are needing to be sexy. They were Hot in their own regard. Their talent stood on its very own. They were very powerful performers and in your face rocking just like all the other male bands. Man, they were something back in the day and it's sad how an industry can wreck a person's professional power to make a buck.

[@ryanscottlogan8459]

They look great!

[@euregiojam]

They were fine rock musicians. But it was the look that made all the difference and that has been the selling point.

[@jrbear-qb4ko]

I sort of regret watching interviews like these of bands I love and finding out what I believed for so long is not true, I always thought their 80s songs like What about love? and Alone were written by them and that era was just a different side of their personalities, I still enjoy the music but it'll never be quite the same.

[@dm95422]

I'm glad they reconciled their differences. I was afraid they broke up for good !!!

[@jameskelly5672]

They still look good.

[@jamesbohlman4297]

The first time I heard Heart was with the video of "City's Burning", and around that time I also got introduced to other female rockers like Girlschool, Lita Ford and Joan Jett. So I've never cared about genres: I just want good music that rocks!

If we could gather all of the women from the music business and if they could be open and not feel that their careers might be threatened, the stories we would hear about sexual harassment.

[@claymac7895]

They are both in their 70’s and they’re still incredibly hot. Nancy looks like she’s about 45.

[@EduardoHernandez-ip1vu]

She look gorgeus in red.

[@Bonzi_Buddy]

"This is what you should look like" is also what promoters do to men as well. I don't think that has anything to do with sex... Sure, with women you're going to get the "wear a skirt" but the men will get "wear this heavy leather jacket with spikes" or "don't show your wife/girlfriend in public" just the same as the other way around. As far as being praised for being a woman with a guitar it was just an uncommon scene so it was a normal reaction. It would be like a black heavy metal artist or anyone else that doesn't fit a common mold. Where you get the sexism is if someone says "let the men in the room do the speaking, honey" or some condescending stuff like that. Do you think Nancy would want to be known as a great guitar player or a great female guitar player? Most people would go with the former because it doesn't put you as high in a small category but rather to be mentioned with other well known good guitar players.

[@mjb6839]

it absolutely has to do with sex when they’re making comments about her body & makeup. you men have a nasty habit of hearing women tell their experience and ignoring it to push your own agenda. do yall ever stop talking and just listen? is that impossible for you to do? you have two women telling you how sexist misogynistic their world was and yet you, some rando, swears you know better lol

[@otherworld11]

They are no longer on speaking terms?

[@cruzmalibu4361]

Aren’t they still at each other’s throats ???

[@patrickcreighton5109]

And visa varsa.....however it is said

[@SweetSourMiss]

I read their book. Just finished it. While I enjoyed most of it, I came away not liking either of the women very much. They were so catty to mention and drag down people for no reason. Stevie Nicks - wow did they insult her. Same with Courtney Love. They fooking stalked Joni Mitchell and Paul McCartney for years because they idolized them, and when Courtney rang up Ann because she idolized her - Ann completely ignored her. What a fooking beech. And did Nancy really have to add the stuff about Michael Deroiser wanting a shower after sex? Maybe he felt dirty sleeping with her after being with Roger for long. Maybe he felt the relationship was dirty and was wrong. Also, the part about Sandra Bernhardt. Geez. Catty! These women are extremely gifted and talented but astonishingly self unaware to their own shortcomings. Ann gripes about being called over weight, but then slams a reporter by calling him overweight. Oh the hypocrisy! I just couldn’t even finish the last few chapters.

[@joyk555]

ImSuperHauter I agree with you on some things. I've lost respect for Ann. I still give Nancy a chance. But I think the same about DeRosier. I think there was an initial attraction, he had to give her a signal for her to move forward (all of her relationships have always been driven by other people), unlike Ann, Nancy doesn't throw herself at a guy without feeling the confidence to do so. So I think they thought it wouldn't be a problem, since Roger had exposed himself to the whole band with other girls, but after seeing Roger and all his drama, DeRosier wanted to back off (and that's why he took a shower), which was disappointing to Nancy. And I think she doesn't take rejection well, or when she feels hurt. As for the "harassment", I think Joni Mitchell, was never really bothered by Nancy. Although getting someone's phone number and flooding their answering machine with messages is rare. But Nancy and Ann are two very different people. I've seen Ann trying to get by when signing autographs, while Nancy stops to sign each one without questioning whoever she asks. Or even sitting in her car, patiently signing a tower of albums. Yes, we can always self-improve, but Ann is definitely not my cup of tea.

[@synthonaplinth5980]

Consideing she fired Derosier and Fossen for comments about her weight after she stopped taking speed, your comment is right on the money.

[@nkv47]

No respect for them the way the original band members were treated..Ann thought she was like Elton John?are you kidding me?..

[@deanvoss7098]

Neither one of them are an original member of the band

[@gator2813]

Ann was but Heart evolved from other bands she wasn't a part of.

[@joyk555]

They are not founders, but they are considered original members, since both have been there since the first album and were the main ones signed by the record label. The founders' Heart (Roger Fisher and Steve Fossen) only played covers, which the label didn't want either. The Wilsons wrote the songs from the first album. Nancy arrived even before Derosier and Lesse. And she didn't get to replace another member, she got to add a new (or two) non-existent element to the band's sound: acoustic guitar and harmonies.

[@tonydeaton1967]

Stop with the woe-is-me bullshit. You wrote great songs, you worked hard and did very well.

[@anish3183]

Yeah, how dare they talk about the hardships and bigotry they faced, they should stop because it offends right wing snowflakes.

[@theunknown4570]

Tune in to watch one of my favorite bands simply talk about their band in rock and roll. Ended up having to watch a propaganda show about equality

[@davindampen]

Cruel male sociopaths were replaced with Cruel female sociopaths that's not progress.... gender has nothing to do with heart and the fact that they are the best band to ever perform live but their gender may have played a part in them not getting the accolades they should have received during the 1980s when they were at their height of fame...the 1980s would not be kind to rocker women but it praised the skanks and weirdos like Madonna and s*** me Houston

[@davindampen]

Ann and Nancy are too uptight about all the glamorous images they were made to project because look at a band like the cars with Rick ocasek they look like total dorks it's hard to watch their videos they look so nasty and disgusting ...so I don't see nothing wrong with Ann and nancy being pressured to look glamorous and to have a stage appearance that catches people's attention

Justvto make it clear they were hired by the two original bamd members the fischer brothers. They thought they were being a gentleman and Band by giving Nancy and more shares it bit him in the ass because by doing that now they got they could be fired and they were fired because Nancy who can never close her legs dated almost everybody in the band and then blame them like a little school girl when things didn't work out so they're sitting there all high and mighty acting like they formed a band they wrote the songs that was never the case the Fisher Brothers to this day still receive money though because they still hold share stock
