Pat Benatar - Promises In The Dark |FIRST TIME REACTION | (Live) (Official Music Video)

[@ERIC-65]

She's a Trained Opera singer !

[@paulriddle7818]

Crazy that she sings Arias to warm up.

[@KawaTony1964]

The guitarist, Neil Giraldo, was and is her husband. They've been married since 1982. He's an excellent guitarist, too.

[@eluv9660]

Not only have Pat Benatar and Neil "Spider" Giraldo been married since 1982 and performing together since 1979, they still tour to this day. I just saw them in concert two years ago. He still shreds and she can still belt out those vocals. "Hell is for Children" is probably her most hard rock vocals of anything in her catalog. One of my all-time favorite female rock vocalists. Mandolina, you might also want to listen to Beth Hart. She is mostly known as one of the greatest blues singers of all time, but she has some rockers as well. Try her version of "Black Coffee".

[@ironbard316]

[@hectified]

It's from a few years ago, but this Tiny Desk performance shows that years later they have been one of the most affectionately cute couples for many years. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6nXlnpnqc1-a6s

One of the best lady rock singers in the world in my opinion. Pat equals Hit Maker!!!!!

[@Logan-ed4pu]

She is one of the top women in rock history.

[@bobbyc3895]

"Love is a Battlefield", "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", "Heartbreaker", "We Belong" - she has a BUNCH of great songs. One of the premier female voices in rock history.

She is tiny, but her voice is gigantic. Top notch vocalist. Powerful performances, live is amazing, one of my all-time favorites. Seen her live, and you literally can feel her power hit you in the face. Love her!

[@billpimentel-vm6cu]

Pat is a legendary rock bad ass

[@jimmywalker4884]

The 80s rock music had so many great female lead singers.

[@Stogie2112]

Pat Benatar had one of the strongest voices. She was the opposite of most other female singers, who usually sang passive songs about being heartbroken. Benatar's songs said, "If you mess with me, I'll kick your ass!" Benatar and her band did change their music after their early rock stardom. They played more radio-friendly pop songs like "We Belong" and "Love Is A Battlefield". They were accused of "selling out": softening their music to get more airplay on mainstream radio stations. Here are some of her best songs: Heartbreaker You Better Run We Live For Love Hit Me With Your Best Shot Hell Is For Children Treat Me Right

[@chrisjohnson1312]

Interestingly, Fire & Ice is still my favorite song from her. Unbelievable switch from the slow lead-in to the powerful belting voice.

[@kirkmatsuyama6176]

She has a lot of great songs. Her husband, the guitarist, is very personable, attractive and a wonderful guitar player. Their fans love them and they still perform. 😊😊❤❤

[@solitaryjeff]

She is also famous for her video of "You Better Run" being the 2nd ever video to appear on MTV when it started back in 1981.

[@edw1045]

Unfortunately MTV is crap now. It use to be soooo good.

[@navagate1900]

You'll have to check out Pat singing Love is a Battlefield.

[@Ironsja11]

Pat Benatar could lure you in close with a soft sweet voice, and then belt your head off. Always one of my very favorite singers!

[@alexharbison4411]

Nice reaction, Neil Giraldo is one of the most under rated guitar players ever. Every Pat Benatar song has a killer guitar solo and he wrote them all.

[@GS-xt8fu]

Heck yes….8 platinum Albums for a reason. Pat….love her. The husband is the lead guitarist. They are still together forever.

[@endoraismygma]

She's always been such a huge influence for me, on and off stage. Incredibly talented, vocally trained, powerful, grounded artist. I finally saw them (Pat and her husband Neil/Spider) Live years ago and just WOW. You could have heard a pin drop when she came out, JUST TO WARM UP. Unbelievable

[@robertsuitsjr6117]

She stills tours (71 y.o.) and sounds just as good as she ever did. Austin City Limits gave her the whole hour this year and it was excellent.

[@terryrobbins5977]

Pat Benatar, Joan Jet, Ann and Nancy Wilson were the queens of rock music in the 80's.

[@richardgarcia9898]

Back in the 80s, girls in school would dress as her. They loved her style.

[@Mach3Plus]

You are listening to one of the rock’s goddesses. Pat tends to hold back in some of her songs because her voice is very powerful. She also trained as a coloratura soprano when she was younger.

[@edw1045]

One of the underrated singers i think of the 80s. A lot of good songs...All Fired Up, Running with the Shadows are great songs.

[@descendantoffools9767]

Pat was a trained opera singer with a 4-5 octave range, but her true love was rock. When I first saw her in concert in the early 80's, everyone in the crowd was saying, "How can anyone sound this amazing live!" She could sing raspy and gritty one moment and then have these soaring high notes the next.

[@CRabbit42]

Pat Benatar is an awesome lady! She'd been nominated many times for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but turned them down because the nomination didn't include her husband, Neil Giraldo (the Guitarist). She only accepted after they acknowledged his contribution to their success and nominated him alongside her. They've been married forever!

[@jack-k6z7n]

I LIKE THE US 1982 PERFORMANCE

[@bigbow62]

Thìs "lady" is one of the greatest artists in rock-n-roll. Shes a classically trained singer that went full on rock. Pat all 4 foot something at 90 pounds and can belt out a song with the best of them & she was my 1st rock crush ❤ Her amazing voice and this new thing called MTV helped boost her career into superstar status

[@chan894ify]

Neil “Spyder” Geraldo also played the lead guitar in Rick Springfield’s “Jessie’s Girl” one of the most underrated guitarist ever nothing but tasty licks!

[@yellowbeardjamesgibson9297]

Pat still Married to the lead Guitarist for over 40 years is Still touring with her Husband in smaller more intimate venues she has Quite the Hit list here are Just 5 for you 1) Hell is for Children 2) love is a Battlefield 3) We Belong 4) Heartbreaker 5) Hit me with you best shot Bonus : ( We live for Love ) I hope you Enjoy these suggestions As always the like button 🔳 has been Illuminated 😊 Note : opening up Pat Benitar is Like opening a Giant can of woop ass 😂

[@thegorn68]

"Fire and Ice" is another video from this performance by Pat and Neil.

[@outthere1123]

Bisscute if you want to hear Pat Benatar's voice explode, "Love is a Battlefield" is definitely one to check out. Also, hello from Michigan.

[@csphoenix9]

Pat was one of the best female singers in the 70's and 80's, Great artist

[@GS-xt8fu]

Eight straight platinum albums..still married,to,guitarist. Thanks Pat for so many jams

[@jerrygray647]

Shadows Of The Night is the Pat Benatar song that you have to check out

[@barbarino2000]

“Heartbreaker” live in New Haven was their best, most awesome hard rocking performance. And Pat is so hot.

[@vicprovost2561]

Absolutely, one of the best shows they ever did, Neil is a monster on Heartbreaker there. Gave me chills when I first saw it!

[@darkesthour9955]

Love Pat Benatar. Biggest injustice was how long it took for the rock HoF to put her in.

[@ThePopOptic100]

They just did a live concert in Austin, Texas. You should watch that for comparison to how well her vocals have remained. It's great. You'll love it.

[@jeffjohnson5421]

Pat's "Hell is for children" is powerful!

[@kc1fan2012]

She is one of the most powerful voices you'll encounter ❤

[@mstephen6103]

There are so many Pat Benatar songs but a few gems are Heartbreaker, I'm Gonna Follow You, You Better Run, Treat Me Right. There's another of Pat's earlier gem's which is often overlooked and that's her remake of John Mellencamp's 'I Need A Lover', a definite must listen.

[@StanCostello-q3o]

The guitarist is her husband and they’re still married today!!

[@DannyDiess]

You have alot to learn girl. Pat Benatar is the Queen Rock and has been the Queen for 45 years. Her voice her many Grammy awards, platinum albums induction into the hall of fame. get busy on your research. Benatar is one of the greatest singers of all time.

[@jimtatro6550]

Pat Benatar has one of the greatest voices in rock ‘n’ roll history in my opinion

[@DannyDiess]

It's not an opinion it's a fact my friend. OXOX

[@AndyViant]

Usually the lead is "Love is a Battlefield" or "Hell is for Children". But I like this choice too. One of the pre-eminent feminist rock singers of the 80's. An amazing voice and ballsy attitude. She's been married to Neil for over 40 years, proving female empowerment doesn't need to mean misandry. Hate the people who deserve it, and love the people who deserve it.

[@waynewerner9042]

❤. PB is one of the greatest woman rockers of the 80s. I see a lot of good suggestions in the comments. Hope you visit her again!

Biss, Pat is hardcore. Her voice is incredible. Please dive on her a bit. For rockers, Heartbreaker, You Better Run, Fire & Ice, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Hell is for children..Treat me Right, Love is a Battlefield, We Belong, Shadows of the Night, and more...She and her husband, the guitar player, still perform today. I think they are touring this summer. 🙂

Listen to there song" hold on" its one of my favorite songs by them

[@ferg2173]

Hello Bisscute, love your channel & your reactions. Pat is one of the best female vocalists ever IMO, PLEASE try one my favorites by her Shadows of the night.

[@tomjaspering226]

Pat Benetar was a huge star in the 80s. She was originally a classically trained opera singer, hence that powerful voice. She has a huge catalog of hit songs. I think "Hit me with your best shot", or "Heartbreaker" was their breakout hit. And this band was super tight and crisp live.

[@vicprovost2561]

Pat and Neal are amazing, rocking out since 1980. To see and hear them at their most intense, do Heartbreaker live in New Haven 1983, she is in her prime and in peak mode, plus Neal lets his inner Pete Townsend out in a fiery solo ending in a rock crescendo for the ages. This is a great group, they have tons of excellent tunes. Pat has influenced all the excellent female led bands that are around right now. You will have a ball discovering her stuff. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@2727rogers]

Had such a crush on her back in the day. A powerhouse for sure.

[@OTCRock4one]

The lead guitar player in the band is Pat Benatar’s husband

[@jasonhutcherson6224]

Great reaction interesting but good 1st song choice. Pat Benetar was special she could sing like an angel or rock like Black Sabbath. She had it all. To maybe more...... YES do more, since you're familiar 2nd Love Is A Battlefield. After that any of her hits Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Heartbreaker,Treat Me Right, Fire And Ice, and Shadows Of The Night. 🤘🔥👍❤️

[@debbieguillory4379]

The singer they all wanted to be.

[@rofyle]

You can't see it from this video, but she had a huge influence on female fashion in the early 80s. All the girls I went to school with dressed like Pat Benatar.

[@Ghostkeeper]

[@stevescuro8544]

Pat is one of my favorite artists ever. Opera trained 4 octave singer and she's barely 5 ft. tall. Just a powerhouse voice. Elected to the rock and roll hall of fame last year. So many huge hits in the 80s. Heartbreaker is a must reaction. Btw, that hot guitarist has been her husband since 1982.

[@bishdizzle67]

I think you would love love You Better Run!

[@vaportrails7943]

80s rock/pop metal is definitely your thing. 🙂👍 And yeah, she is the real deal as a singer. Puts others to shame. “Love Is A Battlefield” is her biggest hit, along with “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”.

[@hanger6776]

I had the biggest crush on her back in Highschool

[@Pixelologist]

Pat Benatar is a classically trained vocalist. She REALLY knows how to use her instrument! She's got great range, knows how to color and control it for different effects, can sing pure and can also growl, as you noted - she's one of the strongest of rock vocalists. She stands just 5'0" and she's very slight - you wouldn't think, looking at her, that she could possibly generate such vocal power.

[@chrissiegle1065]

Ya, this song is about domestic abuse.. as stated below, the song Hell is for Children is about child abuse... very powerful. Great reaction. Thank you. ❤

[@stevemcdonald6440]

She is and always have been a highly respected female powerhouse.. 😊

[@AlbertHuebsch]

The guy doing the guitar solo is Neil Giraldo who is her husband and they've been married for 42 years now.

[@douglasrobarge5597]

That was a great reaction. Please check out Angelina Jordan's new song collaboration with Toby Gad called BAD VALENTINE. You'll love it I'm sure of that. What a voice. Hopefully you will react to Bad Valentine. Thank you ❤❤❤

[@keith6485]

Pat is in the R&R HoF, but she refused a number of earlier nominations because they did not include her husband, Neil, who writes the music for her lyrics. "We are a team," she told them. Truly an amazing lady. We saw them perform just last year and they still rock! Definitely one of the greatest of all time. She took time off from her amazing career to raise their kids until one day, her kids were at home watching music videos on TV. They called to her and said something to the effect of, "Hey, Mom. This woman looks just like you." She told them that she was indeed the woman they were watching. They laughed and said, "Oh mom. That's Pat Benatar." She has said that at that moment she realized that her kids, at least one of which performs with her now, had no idea who she is. She immediately went to the phone and called her husband who at the time was working as a highly sought studio musician, and told him, "We are going on tour." She has been back rockin' ever since.

[@SOCCERNUT32]

As a little kid, my big sister played Pat all the time. Many consider her Queen of Rock and Roll.

[@EShelby2127]

More live Pat Benatar please! "Hell is for Children" is wicked. She made MTV go with her music in the early 80s.

[@Gualxd6]

Magical reaction Like ever Bisscute, Nover ask U anithing, But today I wold ask u a video reaction to "Who what to live forever By Queen" Thanks😊

[@dunringill1747]

You definitely want to explore Pat Benatar's catalogue of music. Opera trained from youth, Pat has one of the stronger, and more talented voices in rock. FYI: Pat was invited into the Hall of Fame much earlier than when she entered, but she refused until they also invited her Guitarist / Husband / Co-Writer Neil Giraldo. *Just a few recommendations to get you started:* *Pat Benatar Harder Rock*: Heartbreaker Promises in the Dark Hell is for Children No You Don't (Sweet cover) Fire and Ice Invincible Hit Me with Your Best Shot *Pat Benatar Softer Rock:* Painted Desert In the Heat of the Night We Belong Don't Let It Show (Alan Parsons Project cover) If You Think You Know How To Love Me (Smokie cover) Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush cover) Shadows of the Night

[@imcrazedandconfused]

Love Is A Battlefield is most probably the most iconic song from her, even if Heartbreaker might have been more successful after all. You will absolutely enjoy it, I am sure. She was a big rock star for a reason, there are not many that could compete, and as you could see - she also was fantastic live. A unique voice and a powerhouse. PS: Shadows of the Night was also a fantastic song well worth reacting to.

[@Scot_WestTexas]

I was in college in the 80’s. Best music of all time. I saw her live in Lubbock,Tx at the outdoor Tornado Jam concert. Awesomeness 👍😎🥰

[@bayareathrasher666]

This is a classic, she is still on top of her game!

[@123denz]

Heartbreaker is a great song. MTV sort of took the rock out of her with songs like Hell is for Children and Love is a Battlefield. Her early stuff is much more rockin'.

[@jack-k6z7n]

HI CUTIE GREAT SONG LIVE

[@Mr.Sidenote]

Nothing really to add except that being blown away by Pat Benatar is an appropriate and expected first time reaction. So glad that you got one of her harder edged songs to begin with. My favorites are this, Fire and Ice and the mid-tempo melodic rocker, Shadows of the Night. P.S. Myron Grombacher, the drummer was one of my earliest heroes, along with Mick Fleetwood and Tommy Lee. All high energy timekeepers with great showmanship.

[@BullwinkleFromHell]
