Standing 5 feet tall, weighing in at 92 lbs, of pure power! She's an icon of rock. Every young guy's fantasy in the early 80's. Married to her guitarist Neil for like 40 years now.

[@sidmedina3444]

Yup, she can rock, but she is not in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame! WTF!

[@RKDriver]

@@sidmedina3444 She finally got inducted this month with her husband (the guitarist) Neil Geraldo. She refused to be inducted until they put Neil in with her because he wrote, composed and arranged all their music from the beginning.

[@erics4653]

Classically trained, 5 octave range....whats not to like? Pat Benatar and Anne Wilson are the 2 best female rock vocalists of all time. Period.

[@ohwow8594]

I agree TOTALLY WITH YOU 💯🙌🙌🤟

[@brandothecatmeow]

8 octave range.

Pat My favorite woman rocker! A great song with excellent lyrics. ❤❤ If only singers today were like Pat! I know her lyrics I grew up on her and had all her albums. Never tire of her. ❤ The drummer was underrated, Myron. As was Neil.

[@kharmee0178]

“We Belong” is amazing vocally and a beautiful music video.

[@PaintedCavern]

I've been a big fan of Pat Benatar since I first heard her debut as a teenager. She is one of a kind! Thanks for the reaction.

[@rockubtzer]

No matter the track or album She delivers!

[@autumnleaves240]

My Pat Benatar recommendations: Heartbreaker, Shadows in the Dark, Hit Me with Your Best Shot, Hell is for Children, Love is a Battlefield. She's a TRUE ROCK STAR

[@SWLinPHX]

"Shadows Of The Night" but yeah. Also "Fire & Ice", "We Belong", "Treat Me Right", "You Better Run"

[@WineSippingCowboy]

She + Ann Wilson are GOAT 🐐🐐 female singers! 😎😎. Heartbreaker, Love Is a Battlefield, We Belong,

[@KimNevelzer]

Hell is for Children - another amazing and gut wrenching song !

[@PauloBorges9]

Mano .. Pat é incrivel ..Sensacional .. não existe Comparação da voz dela

[@BrendaClark-he3ko]

True!

[@sherryarflin726]

Her drummer Myron Grombacher is a beast....her husband is also totally underrated as a guitarist.

[@wordragon]

Her husband writes all the music. He also played on other's hits in the 80s like Rick Springfield Jesse's Girl.

[@sherryarflin726]

👍👍

[@andreahernandez7076]

I get goosebumps everytime I hear her voice!

[@ControlTouchMaster]

Pat Benetar is fantastic live. I’ve seen her several times. Her husband, who’s the guitarist and co-songwriter, and her have great on stage chemistry.

[@KimNevelzer]

Pat Benatar was the first concert I ever attended. What a powerhouse and one of my top five concerts of all time.. I have seen her in concert 4 more times in the past 10 years and she still delivers. She declined nomination into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until her husband was included as well and that finally happened. Good on her !! You don't mess with a rock goddess !! She has an amazing catalogue of music and will always be my favorite female rocker. ❤❤

[@maxbrazil3712]

This is Pat at her shredding best. I saw her live in 1980 and she gave off like an atomic blast.

[@KimNevelzer]

Saw her in 1980 as well. It was the first concert I ever attended. She owned the stage and the audience !!

[@alanbrown3963]

She is so amazing live! The first concert I ever attended, I was hooked for life. Still want to see her live again. She is still performing with her husband Neil "Spyder James" Giraldo. He arranged and produced sooo many songs of hers and other bands in the 80's. He did all the guitar work on Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl".

[@BrendaClark-he3ko]

Yeah, and funny thing: Neil is the only member of the band to have a #1 track with "Jessie's Girl." Crimes of Passion would have been #1, I think, if we hadn't have lost John Lennon at that time.

[@riddlr6358]

"Her tight little waist" @3:44 LOL! I KNOW!! Gawd I love her. Life long crush. Incredible singer. VIVA BENATAR!

[@mattking23]

Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo: my rock OTP their Tiny Desk concert is so cute

[@gaffawebber]

Pat Benatar IS incredible! 80's kid, loving your reaction!

[@donaldballman2825]

She is really that good live Pat Benatar is a must see concert

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

Fire And Ice. Check that one. Another badass.

[@PauloBorges9]

Eu acho o seguinte .. a Pat Benatar é uma Diva do Rock .. não existe outra Definição .. a Voz dela é Demais.. Wonderful .. i'm From Brazil ..

[@sangorilla1]

No - she could deliver vocals like that live anytime, any place. I saw her live out in the middle of a fairground in Wisconsin 20 years after this vide. She sounded just as powerful, clear, and in tune. You can see this is a live track at the end of the performance when the band pauses and Neil counts off the beat to restart the song. you can hear him counting out. This is how live was back in the day.

[@completecharleston7142]

This is a lip-synch / instrument synch of the studio recording - very well done, tho, looks like it could be live, but definitely the recording.

[@rickjensen1636]

I remember an interview she did back in the day where she was asked "How do you stay faithful out on the road" and the answer was "Marry your guitar player" lol (they've been married 41 years, since 82)

[@wendysilva8749]

Pet Benatar one of the best female rockers... and she's still performing! Life is a Battlefield, We Belong, Heartbreaker...

Trained in Opera. Crazy multi octave range and hottie. Lol saw her New Haven coliseum 1982. Bad ass.

she is the reason i listen to rock

[@shygemini6893]

She fantastic live too! Should check her out on CMT Crossroads with Martina McBride! 🙂 Pat Benatar & Blondie toured approx 3-5 years ago (sorry don’t recall exactly) but saw their show. In my opinion, didn’t think Blondie was that good live but Pat Benatar was Awesome!

[@otisblack3921]

Derreck, when this came out songs like this we literally a dime a dozen. We could watch a track like this climb the charts, fade away, and get replaced by a song as equally well crafted. We were so spoiled. Bands toured every year and sounded fantastic in concert without any additional musicians, choreographed dancers, or gimmickry. Neil Geraldo was considered an average guitarist. Screaming guitar solos were the norm. Bands like Styx, Heart, and Def Leppard had dual lead guitarists. Vocalists with genuine pipes could be found on every street corner such as Ann Wilson (Heart) Stevie Nicks, Lou Gramm (Foreigner) and Donnie Iris. Most artists wrote their own material and often had heartfelt messages and social commentary. The public was gluttonous with their musical appetites and were served an endless buffet of musical bliss. Dear sweet naive Derreck....you have no idea what you missed....and the music your peers are serving up for you nowadays is as thin and flavorless as a glass of watered down Tang. Yet I applaud your journey and the earnestness of your reactions.

[@romarobbins270]

You are so right! There was a time when creativity was in abundance in music, film, TV, and all entertainment. Now there’s such a dearth of true novelty, and down right enjoyment in the “arts” and it shows with the lack luster and repetitive crap that is produced

[@JCWiley2300]

Heartbreaking comment in a way, yet so true

[@reemclaughlin4260]

We were enormously blessed!

[@npkrn6764]

Very true 💯 BUT... He probably doesn't know what "Tang" is ! 🤣

[@lolawaara9132]

Well said

[@vickistewart3352]

another trivia tidbit on PB u may not know,,she got into singing rock when she was 14 yrs, as a way to release her repressed anger against her strict preacher father,who insisted she be trained in opera at the age of 4yrs. I loved her from the first time i heard "hit me with your best shot" when i was 12yrs,but once i became aware of these facts,her music took on a whole different meaning,and depth,and allowed me to enjoy a genre of music that ,as a small child, had previously terrified me. Lol Her music has also saved the lives of many people,as listening to Her helps me to release my own rage. although if pat isnt available,a case of empty bottles,a brick wall,and real loud ozzy,will be a more than adequate substitution

[@kyleandrewsmasterson3359]

That's Neil Giraldo on Lead Guitar which years later they both got married to each other!

[@Kim-hc5si]

That guitar player is her husband. 🔥

[@LiLiJo]

Rock is a hard sound and energy to be great at. Pat was one of the few. The guitarist can make it sing like the best of them.

[@darklight4251]

Debbie Harry and Pat Benatar were actually in a movie together. Pat Benatar had a very small appearance at the end. The movie is called Union city if I remember well.

[@BrendaClark-he3ko]

Pat & Neil are the voice of the 80s generation.

[@katyareads221]

Her song "You Better Run" was the 2nd song played on MTV. Love "Heartbreaker" I was at this performance where they filmed for videos....She was one of those performers who like Van Halen sound very similar to the recordings.

[@kilgh]

Pat gave up Julliard Opera school to learn how to sing rock. Which is why she has so much power in her voice. Classically trained and then she trained to sing rock in a safe way. I saw them in concert in 2013 and she sounds just as powerful. Neil Giraldo is one of the most influential guitarists/producers/composers in modern music. You should have a look at True Love live from 2001 on KZbin to get an idea of what he is capable of. Pat's voice got way better between this time and peaked during the 90s. Suggest "Don't Walk Away" so you can hear her voice at it's peak and to hear her opera soprano briefly to hear how she can sing classically still too.

[@wayneproctor7469]

How the Go Gos made the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before Pat Benetar is a travesty.

[@lamusiclover2264]

Her husband Neil Geraldo is the lead guitarist and has been for her entire career. She has lots of great songs.

[@DanCrowleyNYC]

This might be my favorite Pat Benatar song, and one written by her and her guitarist husband Neil, though it only went to #38 on the Hot 100 compared to many other bigger hits (but it's a major fan favorite at concerts). Nowadays, she seems to love to sing this and the crowd always loves it. They're fantastic live, seen them 6 times over the past 20+ years, and once on a co-billing with Blondie in 2009 which was awesome!

[@DeborahHarryFan]

Check out Pat Benatar Everybody Lay Down. The live performance will blow you away! The album Gravity's Rainbow is her most overlooked album ever!

[@DanCrowleyNYC]

Such a great song!

[@gaittr]

I really appreciate that you are so Discerning that you can catch the little nuances of when she changes her voice so completely seamlessly. You are obviously a very passionate person with a great knowledge and appreciation of music. I'm glad that you're listening today to the greatest vocalist that ever lived not on planet Earth not in the solar system not in the Galaxy but in the entire universe. No argument end of story. Well I guess that's just my opinion

[@brandothecatmeow]

She has a 8 octave range. One of the best female singers ever.

[@lamusiclover2264]

You like synths so you will like her first single "We Live for Love".

[@jimmyzee7040]

Nothing like the 80’s music and performers. Pat Benatar is one of the great ones.

[@Thediscodude79]

The band Blondie and Pat Benatar and her band were both on the same record label "Chrysalis". Blondie and Pat Benatar did finally tour together in 2009 on the "Call Me Invincible Tour" named after Blondie's song "Call Me" and Pat Benatar's song "Invincible"! Wish I could have seen that show! I have seen Blondie in concert once, and I've seen Pat Benatar four times in concert over the years with the first time being way back in 1982 when I was sixteen years old!! Lol!!

some spanish guy in the early part of the 20th century was tapping guitars decades before Eddie.

[@craighenry2351]

It’s not Mirren, as you pronounced it, but My run like it’s spelled, Myron. The last name is pronounced Grahhm bock ur Grombacher, so not as weird a name as you might think. It think it is Eastern European, which is not rare where he grew up. He is from Northeast Ohio (Where I grew up) from the Youngstown-Warren area. Incidentally, the lead guitarist is from Cleveland, so half of the band grew up no more than 75 miles away from me. The guitarist, Neil Giraldo, not only played in the band, but took over producing this band on the next album. He produced some other acts, as well. He also married Pat, and they are still together.

[@victoriagray7237]

That guitar player is her husband. 😆
