THIS WAS STEAMY!| FIRST TIME HEARING Pat Benatar - Fire And Ice REACTION

[@brianfuller757]

Pat Benatar is one the best vocalists ever.

[@MarkRichter-j2l]

her & Stevie are equals to me

[@christineobrien7707]

She definitely ruled the 80s rock. I was still digging Ronstadt, but Benatar turned it up a few notches!😎👍👍

[@josephmanno4514]

@@michaelasay8587 That's a firm no. Karen has a superior: Ann Wilson.

[@terriertz5134]

I have so much respect for Pat Benatar not only for her music, but because she married her guitarist and has remained married for decades. She kept her family out of the spotlight, stayed low key & scandal free.

[@DSDykstramusic]

Her and her husband Neil put on a great show. They tour a lot, you should go to a live show, you will have a great time!

[@mateomelendez3733]

PPPP& Neil seem to be decent peoople who have knoooon how teepppptheir ivate lives h

She’s baaaaad 💯 classically trained opera singer turned rocker 🤘🏻🎼🔥

[@nozzlechief36]

Did not know she was classically trained.

[@SoloArt8250]

@@nozzlechief36 absolutely 👍🏼

[@robertwalker1803]

Great choice….deserving of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One of their best is “ Promises in the Dark”.How was this song for live?

[@surlechapeau]

yes, she held out till they put her husband/guitarist in the Hall with her!!! Good for her!!

[@The_Dudester]

Live? On her first four national tours there was excellent song selection for the setlist. After each song, the audience was hungry for the next song, except for "In The Heat of the Night." Because the song was slow and very long, she received a lukewarm response from the audience, which drew a confused look from her.

[@kross5582]

Promises in the dark is a great song. Check out.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

This isn't Iive

[@DarrenCarnes-yj4vb]

Agreed

[@zakfulci854]

Her performance on this song won her a second Grammy for Best Rock Vocal Performance - Female. When Neil (her husband) first started arranging the track, Benatar was a little taken back with how high she had to sing on the chorus, but she trusted him and gave a phenomenal performance.

[@myownchannel247]

🔥That’s her husband Neil Giraldo on lead guitar 🎸

[@RhiannonFan]

Neil 'Spyder' Giraldo: probably the best rock guitarist that most non-guitarists have never heard of

[@myownchannel247]

@@RhiannonFan true

[@smokinjoe4709]

Extremely underrated guitarist.

[@chrisoakley5830]

He's so good, never gets the credit.

[@jaemyrick5277]

Neil and Pat are still married and have been for a very long time. They have two daughters . Who are now adults.

[@motrock2]

Pat Benatar was the best female vocalist of the 80s. She can still do it at like 70 years old. VERY impressive!

[@greg2976]

Promises in the Dark, Is their best live video, in my humble opinion!!!!!! Please check it out !!!!!

[@kbusby4824]

Yes!!

[@dawngipe6324]

Yes, not sure if they've done it yet or not...can't remember, but been watching them since the beginning.

[@sunnystormy4973]

" promises in the dark " 🙃

[@analuisahering2043]

Absolutely! Vocally, she just kills it 💥

[@smokinjoe4709]

Fully agree.

[@ccrider327591]

She's an Itty bitty little thing (under 5ft tall), but her voice is 10ft tall! I was fortunate enough to get 3rd row seats for her concert and was blown away by her power and presence. You could hear her sing without the speakers. No autotune for her. She is absolutely as pure and powerful as she sounds in the videos.

[@markzalubas5793]

Pat is amazing. It's amazing to think that we took this for granted back when she seemed to be releasing these hits one after another. Absolutely love Pat Benatar.

[@tdupuy]

Exactly

[@Wanda-o9u]

Promises in the Dark

[@butterflymama0838]

Iveseen Pat Benatar in concert 3 times. She is so incredible, and her husband's guitar solos are so excellent! The last time I saw her was about 6 years ago. She was 65 then. She blew me away at how great her voice still is!

[@whitespider99]

Amber & Jay, here are some other good Pat Benatar songs to react to: "Promises In The Dark, "No You Don't", "I Need A Lover", "If You Think You Know How to Love Me", "In The Heat Of The Night", and "I'm Gonna Follow You".

[@kerrytrager4957]

We live for Love

[@JaDav40]

and "Le Bel Age" and "Sex As A Weapon"

[@raymondohlsen5054]

Several of my favorites in this group. I'd argue that ANY song from Pat Benatar's first 5 albums are worth reacting to!

[@peace-and-quiet]

Silent partner Tell it to her Fight it out The victim I want out I'll do it

[@dunringill1747]

Good short list here

[@MrJoseph6119]

I saw Pat Benatar is 1981 at the forum in Los Angeles! its 2024 and I'll never forget this woman! Pat is simply amazing! #1

[@stevesnow315]

"Heartbreaker", her first release established her as a true rocker. Her magnum opus "Promises In The Dark" without a doubt. 👍😎❤

[@carolmartin4413]

Operatically trained...can't you tell? And her husband is probably one of the finest guitarists in rock! Phenomenal combination!

[@lindarumsey3109]

Listening to Pat Benatar shoots me back to the 80's and my teenage years, the great music, the drama, the love and the heartaches you experience in your teens and early 20's. Her powerful voice and amazing music were incredible and like many others young women at that time, I idolized her!!

[@tinahairston6383]

From that same album you MUST do Promises in the Dark. Others...In The Heat of the Night, I'm Gonna Follow You, We Live for Love, Hit Me with Your Best Shot, Looking for a Stranger, and Precious Time.

[@sunnystormy4973]

" promises in the dark " songs in quotes 🙃

[@thebibagirrrlshow]

I had the pleasure of seeing Pat in concert 3 times in the 80’s, not only did she sound amazing, but her looks were fierce! Many women in the audiences were dressed like her & had her hairstyle! She set a lot of trends back then! Slim jeans into high heeled boots, the sharp makeup, short spikey hair that could go from from aerobics workout class to going out dancing, they were fun times!

[@stevehamilton8824]

One of my rock women crushes. Pat is a powerhouse vocally and such a talent. Hit after hit by this incredible woman & band! Others have mentioned it, "Promises in the Dark" is a must reaction. What is amazing is that Pat is not an artist that needs a lot of dancing or theatrics to mesmerize an audience like so many artists do for their shows. Very few could just stand up there, walk around a little and sing and but have you entranced in the performance. She is iconic because she is not only vocally talented and the band has written some amazing songs but SHE is a force on her own who you need to watch. There is something about her - her beauty, her attitude, her style and everything else is just entrancing. While others need a show behind them to make them interesting, few like Pat (Stevie, Linda and handful of others) need all of that to draw our attention.

[@2210courtney]

Promises in the dark

[@tjrivers]

A friend of mine, a keyboardist, was offered a touring job with Ms. Benatar, before her stardom, early 70’s. He also had another offer to perform locally. He turned DOWN the touring offer from Benatar…he never recovered from that decision! Here she is 50 years later, with a new generation of listeners and fans! Yikes!

[@adam872]

Absolute banger tune. When Patty belts out those lines "So you think you've got it all figured out etc" in the middle eight, that's all time greatness right there. Patty and Ann Wilson - daylight second.

[@ericolson2216]

My favorite Pat Benatar song of all time! She has an incredible voice.

[@beowulfthedane]

I gotta agree with others "Promises in the Dark" is so good I'm gonna watch it again now.

[@dorothystorry1733]

Her voice is just as strong today as n the past… it’s well worth going to her concert..

[@kelleewolfe2834]

This song takes me right back. I'm 15 again, watching MTV. It's crazy how music shapes our lives and memories. ❤

[@stevekaczmarczyk9701]

What a legend,,,,I seen her 4 times,,in the 80s. 90s,,,,

[@stevekaczmarczyk9701]

Anytime she is from Virginia,, Richmond,, still has a house here too the news reports on her when she is in town,,, thanks for keeping the old music alive,,,,,💖💕💞💞💞💕💖 I love your stuff on the wall behind you

[@howardhales6325]

Pat and Neil are still out there touring. They're both over 70 and still sound FANTASTIC! Rock 'til you drop!

[@donnastewart2280]

Wuthering Heights is my favorite from Pat Benatar. You really hear her powerful range in that song.

[@alexcerdan4500]

Love Pat Benatar. Saw her in concert just once, but ill never forget it. It was an amazingly concert . ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@vader8724]

"Promises in the Dark" is a must if you haven't already. And yes the same jumpsuit and performance as this video.

It's amazing how such a big voice comes outta such a Lil woman

[@Pezzonovante916]

This is my favorite Pat Benetar song. She really shows her range in this one.

[@billyt9987]

You can't go wrong with Pat Benatar. Songs you could review. 1. All fired up 2. Little Paradise 3. Out of touch 4. Wuthering Heights 5. Rated X 6. Little too late Realistically I could put down about 20+ more songs. Been a Pat Benatar fan since her first appearance on American Bandstand. Yeah, I'm that old.

[@raymondohlsen5054]

Me, too. I've owned cassettes of her first 5 albums numerous times. I just wore them out!

[@billyt9987]

@raymondohlsen5054 same here. Especially her first two albums. A lot of memories attached to those albums. Great music as well

[@daleyoung5591]

I personally have always loved "I'm gonna follow you"

[@stevenkmiller]

Shadows of the Night is my favorite. I love her big soaring vocals in that song.

[@jayangle20]

Pat has so much great music. I don't have a single favorite.

[@anacarvalho3264]

All hail Queen Pat Benatar!!!!! One of the best rock vocalists of my generation, along with Ann Wilson, Stevie Nicks, Chrissy Hynde, Debby Harry and Tina Turner. Hit me with your Best Shot and Hell is for Children should be next on your Pat Benatar listening list.

[@libertyresearch-iu4fy]

They've done 'Hell is for Children' they even said so in this video.

[@mozofoz]

And they've done Hit Me With Your Best Shot, also they mentioned that on this video.

[@kallsop2]

Three suggestions, Promises In The Dark, I'm Gonna Follow You and Precious Time. Pat just blew us away when she came out when I was in high-school. Great reaction. The jump suit? Yes that wad fire.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love her voice so much!

[@MikeAdams-dc9ib]

PAt is one of the great female rockers no one can replace her but we need more female rockers like her today in 2024 this lady is tuff.. im crazy bout her we need new music from pat

[@RandyDeShong-xq1bo]

Agree 100% "Promises in the dark " great rock/operatic vocals.

[@StarX81]

My fav Pat Benatar song from my fav album of hers-"Precious Time". "Fire & Ice" peaked at #17 on the charts in 1981. U gotta check out "Promises In the Dark" from the same album.

[@rogerwaterman8153]

Just saw her live a few weeks ago. Her and her husband, Neil Giraldo, still kill it in concert! Sending love from sunny SoCal!❤

[@sassypatty2666]

She is wonderful. Great marriage, great mom, great family. 😊

[@scottlaughlin9897]

Promises in the dark. Her best vocal performance. IMHO

[@shanemyersmyers1379]

I have always liked this song. My favorite song from her will always be "Heartbreaker". That song came out when I was in the sixth grade

[@FredPena-rd5cf]

Robsquad, try Pats song We Live For Love. One of her earliest hits. Not the gritty style of her peak. And not Love Is A Battlefield either. This song was a late 70s early 1980 song about love and the passage of youth after high school. A really good time piece from the era. She was a new artist at the time. It was a sign of her rising star. A great high school tune.

[@truthserum9157]

She sings with so much emotion and power, it’s hard to believe so much comes from such a petite woman.

[@Jagman2919]

Back in the day, MTV used to have the weekly concert. This video was from the concert Pat Benatar did. She and her husband still perform and she hasn’t lost a beat.

[@leecloaked1059]

105 lbs of pure talent!!!

[@kbusby4824]

Promises in the Dark is a must. She also covered John Mellenxamp's I Need a Lover.

[@kurtl3011]

Yes! More Pat! I can’t believe you haven’t reacted to Promises in the Dark yet. A banger and a huge fan favorite.

[@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13]

Pat Benatar is pure🔥so the name of the song is almost perfect. Benatar is probably my favorite female rock star ever. I’m talking “rock” music, not bubbly pop (which I like too). She may be the greatest female rock star ever! I’ve loved this woman’s music for decades! Great song! 🔥❤️

[@patriciamonsivaiz3305]

"Promises in the Dark" should definitely be your next choice! She's wearing the same outfit in it so it's from the same show.

[@szaki]

Pat's voice is a high end soprano that's why she can sing very high notes and the guitar over laying it makes it fun and interesting sound! She's only 5' 0" tall. She's the queen of rock from the 80s, definitely! 👌👌👌😎

[@haydendegrow945]

Lady Benatar is one of my Mom's favourite singers. She is always (trying to) sing along to this song when it comes on the radio. It's awesome! Love you Mom❤

[@mattthomas3207]

pat benetar and her husband (her guitarist) are one of the greatest duos ever in music and they dont get the credit they are due. this and hell is for children are my favorite i could care less if i ever hear hit me with your best shot ever again.

[@Jill-ni8fe]

My first rock concert when I was 13 when this album came out - she wore that outfit!!! Love Pat & love her husband Neil on guitar and the entire band!!! 🔥

[@FierceToddler]

Got excited when I saw the thumbnail for this video, but it wasn't the one I hoped it was. Been waiting for over a year for "PROMISES IN THE DARK". You got to do that video next.

[@randybliss6480]

It still would be wonderful to get Pat and Neil on your channel for some of their songs. I'd really love to hear their side of the impact of playing "Hell is For Children" all these years!

[@rickhawk22]

Her first hit was a rocker that showed off her high end vocal range called “We live for Love” and is my 2nd favorite song from her!!

[@aaradia]

One of the best duo's in rock history (because it really is a duo = Benatar/ Giraldo)!!!! Been a fan since their first album. Seen them in concert about half a dozen times and they were awesome each time. Next hard rock reaction suggestion would definitely be "Promises in the Dark." Reaction for different versions of a song would be her amazing cover of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights." Reaction for a sleeper awesome song that wasn't a hit, but I think you would appreciate as teachers and parents would be "Evil Genius." Best reaction to reflect their diversity would be either "I feel Lucky" or "True Love" from their blues/ big band/ swing influenced album called "True Love."

[@vicprovost2561]

It sure would be nice is someone would mention Neil, if they ever watch Heartbreaker live 1983 they will know who he is.

[@maryannmasters8929]

My loudest concert was Pat Benatar. I was vibrating when I left that concert.

[@tcarnold6425]

I'm gonna say Promises In The Dark too! Emotional rockin rollercoaster telling a great story. Studio version though - Spider's recent live guitar solos aren't a patch on his studio recordings. Or try her cover of The Beatle's Helter Skelter - just wowowoweeewah!

[@mikemerck5701]

Saw her here in ATL about 3 years ago. Man she had a good night. And heard her last year at a venue we couldn’t see but hear, she hasn’t lost a thing

[@franklerma3754]

Promises in the Dark in Fire 🔥🔥🔥 there best by far but Neil the guitarist who is her husband steals the show with one of the greatest solos EVER from the most underrated guitarist EVER for sure.

[@palmirasanchez]

Post Benatar was and till this day had always been hot on vocals. I couldn't wait for her to do new songs.

[@SteveMintonMarketing]

Pat Benatar and her husband/lead guitarist (Neil Geraldo) pretty much, singlehandedly took on the Record industry and kicked the door open for women to lead their own show/business model and record production.

[@tjrivers]

Her range is off-the-charts!

[@aliciazambri4237]

I echo everyone else's comments - Promises in the Dark is a must hear next, she has range and attitude for days on that track. Following that, you should check out "We Live For Love."

[@magicmike7198]

Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Kim Carnes, Heart, Wendy O Williams, Lee Aaron, Suzy Quatro, Patti Smith... the end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s had some of the best female rockers ever. In your face, sexy, talented, ain't takin' none, a mix of vulnerability and hardness, raw voices of gold. True rock sirens.

[@hayleynadel6808]

This is my favorites Benetar song! Loved it in the 80's, still love it now!!

[@cathyortiz1280]

Awesome song! Pat is amazing. Opera singer turned Rocker! Over 5 octave range. Gotta do "Promises in the Dark" & "Hell is for Children!"

[@MILUNGAO]

With hindsight, I can say this: we were lucky back in the 80's with all these talented female singers: Pat Benatar, of course, Lita Ford, Joan Jett, Belinda Carlisle, Cyndi Lauper, Annie Lennox, Kate Bush, Ann Wilson, Chrissie Hynde, Bonnie Tyler, Aimee Mann (from Til Tuesday), Martha Davis (from The Motels), Juice Newton, Siouxsie Sioux, Doro Pesch (from the German Metal band Warlock), Dale Bozzio (from Missing Persons), Anita Baker, Tracy Chapman, Melissa Etheridge, Alannah Myles, Robin Beck, Mari Hamada, Sandi Saraya. Even female singers from the 60's/70's had their moments during this era: Carly Simon, Tina Turner, Bonnie Raitt, Aretha Franklin. Can also be mentioned all-female bands like Vixen, Girlschool, The Bangles, The Go-Go's, Phantom Blue, Rock Goddess, Indigo Girls, The Judds.

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

Some people don't know it but Pat Benatar was a classically trained Opera Singer (Mezzo Soprano) but she loved rock and pop and dropped Opera and created her music group . Her mother was also an Opera singer until she quit to raise the kids.

[@victoriaabrantes4008]

She’s one of the best to ever do it!

[@vicprovost2561]

Awesome song and artist! Pat Benatar and her awesome lifelong husband and guitarist, Neil Geraldo, have been killing it since 1980. Great choice for a rocking tune. For another, do the live Heartbreaker from New Haven 1983, tremendous performance, Pat in her prime peak and Neal has an all time solo, letting loose his inner Pete Townsend. Great stuff, enjoy! 🔥🎸🎤🎸🎶🔥

I worked at the Erwin Center in Austin when I was in HS. Most of the performers showed up in limos that pulled right into the building. Pat took a cab walked in with jeans and a bag over her shoulder. She walked by my friend and I and said "how's it going guys?". Chatted with us for a couple of minutes and went to her dressing room. Super nice and cool as hell!!!

While not the first Pat Benatar song I heard, this is the one that turned me into a huge fan of hers. When she was finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (which took far too long), she insisted her husband, Neil Giraldo, go in with her as he in the lead guitarist in her band and the two of them have been musical partners for almost all of both their careers.
