Pat Benatar - Rock N Moms

[@UpsonPrattJr.]

She is absolutely one of the greatest female vocalist of all time.

[@robertpetricko1968]

Finally!! Congratulations Pat and Neil Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Class of 22! Rock on!

[@eileendarr3956]

Yes I agree. Saw Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo at MGM in Northfield OH in July 2024. Fabulous Show!!! 💕 🎸

[@lisawertrea9021]

Man I would love to go back to the 80’s n stay there it’s was the best time of my life

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

For me The best of times N the worst of times Only becuz my life sucked worse since 1990 was it the best times of my life There were some incredible times And then in 1990, all the good ended It’s been a long 32 yrs Were it not for Messiah, I would be 6’ under

[@mrob611]

I always like Pat Benetar. She's smart, has one of the best voices in rock and looks better than ever.

[@spambucket474]

Pat seems like a really nice, genuine person from what I can see in this interview. The kind of person you'd love to have as a friend, even if she weren't a famous singer.

[@no1nestandsalone387]

Spam Bucket oh she is very genuine. I met her a few days back. I love her. She was so sweet! She for sure is super down to earth.

[@patriotamerican3426]

She’s genuinely beautiful and just an all around great woman I loved her when I met her just so down to earth

[@Mike383HK]

I first met her when I was 15 in a high school dance. She was fronting the band and was singing everything from Grand Funk to Neil Young and Zeppelin. She was incredible to say the least. At 15 I don't think I was 5'5" and I towered over her. She was so tiny. Less than 90 pounds and her voice was so powerful. She was so incredibly shy. She barely spoke to me. That was probably 1969 or 70.

[@halien5575]

Mike383HK that is amazing. So jealous. Grew up listening to her thanks to mom. I absolutely love her and music.

[@no1nestandsalone387]

Mike383HK wow that’s so cool! Thanks for sharing! I actually met her for the first time a few days back. She truly is such a genuine person. And so sweet/down to earth. I’ve loved her since I was young. Used to rock out to heartbreaker and dance to her songs. It truly was an honor ❤️

[@no1nestandsalone387]

Mike383HK and btw I got into Pat myself. My mom isn’t much of a fan. But I did buy her a ticket to the concert and she loved it!

[@rickyeager5460]

@ Mike, what a memory for a lifetime, she is a Goddess of Classic rock.

[@paulbradley705]

She was not shy she just didn't want to speak to you.

[@bostonseeker]

Pat Benetar still looks great, and she's still a sharp cookie.

[@musacman57]

So much respect and admiration for Pat and Neil

[@brklyn345]

I would totally kill to have kick-ass rock god parents like Pat and Neil. I was born in 1977, and been obsessed with them since 1979.

[@spencertracy4511]

Pat Benatar ..... a legendary female singer , that paved the the way , for so many up and coming female talents ....

[@darktimesatrockymountainhi4046]

Pat Benatar is an authentic professional, an enlighted parent, and she must be one of the few "whole" persons anywhere. I always admired her musicianship since my youth, her heyday of popularity, but I eventually discovered she was smart, too. She is not only a credit to music, but she also "stands" as a fine example to women, men, all humanity. Thank you, Mrs. Giraldo!

[@marthablair3502]

I admire you Pat for putting your daughters first and foremost and still rockin. Yes i was a divorced mother of two myself what i would've given to have been able to be with my children especially when they were ill. I thank you and Niell for the best music ever.

[@farleyboy6445]

It's nice that her daughter has her moms support with her singing group. I would say that it is easier for her daughter to gain fame because of her mother being famous, but if the music isn't good then it don't matter who your parents are no one will buy it.

[@Sig721Tau]

You could say the same thing about Bob Dylan's son.

[@deathlarsen7502]

Pat Benatar is SO AWESOME.

[@dianemartinez3]

Love Pat Benatar I wouldn't have survived the eighties without her what a great vocalist seen her twice in concert when I was young she seems like such a kind person she waved to me I'll never forget that I think I had her haircut in 1980 everybody did and she still rocking they don't make them like her anymore 🎵🎶🫂

I LOVE PAT BENETAR! SHE IS AN AMAZING TREASURE!

[@garycollingwood4002]

" I LOVE YOU PAT " 💙

[@davidholden4543]

Pat Benatar is an absolute doll!

[@LorrieSmithSTOPANIMALCRUELTY]

I remember when Pat was pregnant and holding a pillow over her tummy while recording. She was afraid of hurting her baby's ears.

[@catstevens9217]

Yes. She’s AWSOME

[@olddocman]

Pat was a big hit with the small military unit I was with back in 82 or so. They Boys loved her " ooh ooh" song.

[@dzanier]

Talented and smart. What she said about motherhood between 3:51 and 4:18 is what all good mothers feel. That is that in taking care of a child, mothers completely by necessity have to put aside all thoughts of self. It's actually very therapeutic in addition to being rewarding. I've heard many mothers say that.

[@wmpetroff2307]

Wow the narrorator Ms DeSantis perfectly described Pat Benatar the way I imagined her to be. Pat Bentar is an American Treasure talent.

[@brklyn345]

I was too young to go to the concerts during her heyday in the 80's. But I lived for this woman's music, and my first rock concert in 2009 at age 32 was Pat, who was touring with Blondie (BLONDIE!!!) and The Donnas. She went in to specifics about how each song came to be, and I had no idea until she mentioned it that she REALLY hates Hit Me With Your Best Shot, but Neil makes her sing it since it's such a fave! I was lucky to get front row for that concert, and the speakers were on the stage, so my ears were ringing for about a week LOL. Who cares if I go deaf? It's Pat friggin' Benatar!

[@SWLinPHX]

Robert Nieves: yes she always hates having to sing hit me with your best shot because it’s become a cliché song that she’s always identified with and sick of. It’s a matter of fact she usually will only perform in concert if she gets a second encore.

[@Dizfolks]

Fantastic role model - Pat is so talented!

[@TheNorma]

I love Pat Benatar

[@truthweallknow]

now that is way cool if I ever ever heard or seen a mom and daughter together that is way cool. Keep Rock -n- Rolling.

[@diljitjedi]

Just a great mum well done kid lucky to have parents like that wish you well

[@jeanbarnes177]

Wow, I learned a lot about them from this. Thanks so much. Love them always.❤

[@claudiaarias2991]

I WILL LOOOOOVE PAT BENATAR FOREVER!!!!!!!

[@Buce1965]

I know it will be hard for Haly. She's got mega sized shoes to fill. I know she hoping one day they will looks at Pat Benatar and say, "aren't you Haly Girardo's mom?" dont think so. The music from Pat's day (my day) is just too incredible. Unfortunately the music of today, hmm, for a lack of better words, sucks! But it's great that mom is out there so supportive of her daughter. Love it.

[@timothyward8564]

Crossroads,,where her and Martina McBride shared the stage was the best ,,Pat laid it out there on independence day

[@nataliewright1988]

As soon as she knew she could sing she was hooked! I know the feeling!

[@btsdrummer1]

Seems like a well rounded, down to earth mom to me...

[@ldavis5734]

Pat's still smokin hot..I'd love to here some mellow slow tunes from her. Tell Neil to play the piano more.

[@christinabeasley]

Pat Benatar is AWESOME!

[@carolyoung9269]

FASCINATING~ WELL DONE LADIES!!👏👏💋💋

[@lorimendenhall411]

Love pat bentar. Best

[@THEJET52]

Simple: change last name. Pat’s voice is exceptional ! She studied opera, and used her voice to her fullest extent! “ You think human beings are cool- you should have one..” She and Neil/ Neal love life! I wish we were back in the 80’s again!

[@dogbounty6399]

Just love her jaw structure .

[@SWLinPHX]

Yes, that undershot jaw of Pat’s made her seem even tougher when she was singing those aggressive rock hits.

Wayyyyyy overdue. She’s the voice of rock!

[@sandramcgehee8620]

Awesome Interview They rock

[@squirrelattackspidy]

Holding her.....back? Can you imagine how many doors would open once they found out her mom was Pat Benatar?

[@aelius93]

I thought that too. It's like babe, u couldn't make it thru the door of a record company. You have no idea what it is when you're on the outside and know NOBODY. Plus if she's in a pop girl group she isn't doing her mom's style music. I assume their PR rep suggested she say that so people focus on poor Haley trying to make her own name, rather than spoiled Haley handed a career cuz her mom's an rock icon

[@deathlarsen7502]

you got that right Pat Benatar is a ROCK ICON. Very small group of women in that category.

[@aks4204]

Pat is the bomb!! Not too many have a voice like hers. Ann Wilson is also amazing. Just not as amazing as Pat Benatar!!

[@miguelurrutdarkorangefan2750]

Opens doors, but always throws shade. she cannot escape being Pat's daughter. Same for Sean Lennon, phenomenal guitarist and musician, but he cannot escape being John Lennon's son.

[@badgerpa9]

This was made when it was still good to be a Mother, now it is looked down on. Being a Mother, Father is the most important job in the world.

[@jehjeh007]

Wow! Thanks for the post. I didn't know Pat finally had kids, I remember her finding out she couldn't back in the 80's. However she got that fixed, I don't care. I'm glad she is happy and still with DA MAN!

Whole, happy, and find true love.

Ven a lima Peru a cantar soy tu fan1🤩😘🥰

[@marysanchez2981]

Wow so cool mental image of a hard core rocker with a kid on her hip

[@BenatarTribute]

I don't think she meant it that way. I think she was expressing how Haley probably felt or feels. I give her credit for stepping aside and putting that into perspective. It has to be a tradeoff. In a child's life the child has to be #1, but in a star's life, the star has to be #1, otherwise they cease to be the star. Like everything else, there's a place and a time. But, Pat's reputation follows Haley around & I think that was more the point. Pat, as her Mother, simply tried to identify that.

[@duanewheare2939]

loved it :)

3:37 she looks like Britney! ;)

Back in the day they really didn't have alot of female rock artists. Most of the rock bands were from the U.K.

Very interesting. I can relate to her daughter on a much less famous level though. It is both a great thing and a curse to follow a parent in a chosen field.
