Barracuda still rocks today. Great music lasts forever.
Oh man, when she and her sister did "Stairway to Heaven" for an event honouring Led Zeppelin, even Robert Plant was impressed. It was absolutely sublime. This masterpiece is not a song many can do justice to compared to the original (or would even attempt).
I have watched that so many times! Would have loved to have been there!
One of the best performances I’ve ever seen!!!
agree
Brought tears to them sitting in the balcony
That was a masterful performance. Absolutely amazing.
She's an amazing musician. Wish more girls looked up to women like her.
Same here, haha. If only.
More women would look up to her if she wasn't only five foot three.
I wish more "artists" of any gender looked up to bands like Heart. You know, where people play rock music with actual instruments.
@@ashleyjennings5224 Yeah, but the stage adds a couple feet.
She has aged so beautifully. God I love her and Ann. Two legends for sure.
Look at her hair, the roots...that's her real hair at age whatever!
Well 2 and a half
She’s got frozen Botox face
Nancy is 65 years old. TODAY, 16 March 2019. And she still rocks (and kicks) like it was 1977.
love me some Heart in Birmingham, AL
And Ann looks like Roseanne.
@@blebhan8213 Who cares what she looks like? Only a shallow person would. She's known for an incredible set of pipes, numbnuts.
@KelMaster Construction Frankly, the Botox is a bit much. Really love her music, though.
WHAT? Really? Because I heard that Nancy Wilson had died? I'm wondering if this is true? :-)
This woman is 65 years old and still rocking. She’s been one of my heroes for 20 years (yeah I’m young) seen Heart 8 times and every time, Nancy still high kicks on stage and plays the hell out of the guitar!!!
I grew up on Beatles and loved Heart. Never heard her talk but she has a child like intensity and confidence that she can create something new. Their songs broke new ground and had the technical fluidity to move from one new sound to another.
Nancy and Ann are incredible artists. Still beautiful ladies too.
"If you steal from one guitarist, that's plagiarism, but if you steal from a bunch of them, that's research." - Howard Roberts :-)
HR! That's him playing both the Twilight Zone theme and the Munster's theme! He wrote those incredible riffs. Everybody needs to check out his work.
Sorely underrated musician and teacher.
@@Itelkner I believe Marius Constant wrote the Twilight Zone theme music...I believe Tommy Tedesco was the studio guitarist that played the written part.....Howard Roberts is great though!
@@jkris2361 I'd originally heard it differently but perhaps that's right. Tommy could burn!
Werrrrrrrrrd!
Still a wonderful and gorgeous woman and a great musician !
Her sister is waaaaaay hotter and yes I'm being serious
@H.C. Goode III she sounds and comes across very spacy and not all there. Probably way too many drugs but she not the only one.
spring chicken no, ballsack yes.
I remember seeing their music videos back in the 80s, when she was in her prime. I've always thought she had one of the best bodies I've ever seen. Some size/curves without too much size/curves. Perfectly proportioned. Not like way bigger up top than down below, or vice versa.
Yellow mustard
I have been online for 20 years and just realized this is the first time I have ever seen Nancy Wilson being interviewed. God bless her and thanks for Heart's music.
same here....
Yeah, for real.
I can shove whatever I want in there, it's my comment, buzz off.

@@B0yardigi0rn0 You have the right to shove your thing into your god...whenever you want!
OH MY GOD- SHE LOOKS GREAT!!! Ive had a crush on her since junior-high. “Rock-on Nancy”
Hey Keeferfog,
Me 2.
This will have to be a 4ways fight for her.. I'm crushing on her too just more than you guys...
If she is so wonderful,why did Roger Fisher swing his guitar at her head in the 1980's.?
@@charlesmiddleton402 tough love?
was that Ridgemont High?
I've been in love with Nancy Wilson for 33 years! What an outstanding guitar player, and vocalist. Her long intro solos on "Crazy on You" are legendary! She's incredible!
Thanks for bringing up the vocals, she is under rated as a vocalist.
Nancy and Ann are some of the greatest musicians of their generation. I’m 40 and love their music.
Nancy Wilson is a great guitar player on any list male or female.
Nancy is still a babe! I chauffeured Heart in Birmingham back in the late 70s. I've always loved the band.
I'm not sure there's another song in existence I enjoy as much as Barracuda.
These ladies have been dazzling me for a lifetime.
It really does kick ass. I started playing guitar last year and I probably randomly go into that riff more than any other one just because it's so much fun to play.
I still listen to Magic Man and Barracuda. I just cant get enough of it.
Their other songs are good too
I you tube both everyday
Sometimes several times a day
It's mandatory like having a coffee
@@leopoldonotarianni8663 talk about having your coffee black with energy? Incredible picker upper.
The opening of "I Feel Fine" was actually kind of a mistake for The Beatles. The lads were in the studio one day and John set his hollow body guitar down right in front of Paul's amp while the guitar was still turned on. Paul hit a note on his base and the vibration of that note set John's guitar to start feeding back, making that famous twang sound at the beginning. The boys liked the sound, the record company didn't, so John and Paul snuck back into the studio later that night and reproduced it and recorded it so they could use that somewhere. They decided to stick it in as the opening hook on "I Feel Fine" and somehow got it past the label guys and onto the record. If you listen to the song, pay attention to the very first sound you hear. That sound is a single note played by Paul, followed by that famous twang, but you can clearly hear the bass note first if you know what to listen for. True story!
It was an accident, not a mistake.
I was in a local Hard Rock band back in the late 80's. I played Bass. I would tell our 2 guitarists, do yourself a favor, watch Nancy Wilson play on stage. Not only a great guitarist but her moves were awesome. She knew how to sell it. Watch her on stage. She is the coolest!
Holy cow! At 65, Nancy has aged very well! What a talent!!
Love me some classic Heart🤘🤘🤘
I saw Heart in concert and that was the first time I had ever seen a woman play guitar and shred and that lit a fire under me to start singing and playing music.
Well...upload some music.
Yeh, go on
@@80sDECADEshouldNEVERLEFT I, a bearded white man, am probably more talented than you, what seems to be a male hating woman. I also believe you spelled "Woman" wrong.
FUCK YES!!!
Nobody cares Cassandra, go comment on another Stevie t video or something
Ann and Nancy are such beautiful talented women.I love them both.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
She's still got that touch so gentle and sweet.
This woman has been a goddess to me since I was in high school back in the 70s. She's still a musician's musician, still totally gorgeous and still really inspiring!
Heart is a great rock band! And look how honest she is about taken someone’s riff, unlike some other great rock band I won’t mention but we all know who that is! ❤️🎸🇨🇦
WOW! That's cool! I'm a huge Nazareth fan and I love that song!
I was 17 and driving cross-country, summer of 1979, and stopped at a Denny's in New Orleans. The only other people in the place (it was about 2am) was this group of about 9 people around a big table. They invited me to join them and it turned out to be Anne, Nancy and some crew. They had just done a show in town.
It struck me that they were "real, regular people". No huge "Rock Star" attitude. We all sat, eat and chatted for over an hour before we all went our separate way... I was so enamored I didn't even get autographs...!
I have been hopelessly in love with this woman for 40 years now!!
She is still gorgeous!!!
George Martin .....and you are a dick!
Settle down u two lol!
Wow, most people give up after a couple weeks when they know their affections won’t be returned. 😂
~ Not the only one.
She is one of the finest girls of rock; Ever.
The Album 'Dreamboat Annie recored in Vancouver Canada @ Mushroom Studios near False Creek was a fantastic facility, many great records came out of that building, Nancy you still sparkle Rock On girl !
Indeed it was. First studio I ever recorded in.
Rock Goddess on so many levels for so many reasons. One of the greatest sibling duos in music history!! \m/
Why doesn't Nancy have her own RUclips channel? She is still AMAZING.
She's so hot! Whatever she does would be gold!

Ann does...

Ann and Nancy rock it. First concert I ever went to, at 15, Little Queen tour. Absolute legends of rock.
I get that Brad. I went to see Heart open for April Wine. I was 11. 1976 They've been my favourite ever since!
Wow! You guys sure did see them at young ages! I got into Heart at age 14 and since 2020 they've been one of my favorite bands to listen to of all time.
For all of us that was born long enough ago, all the FM stations were cranking out killer HEART, tunes. One of my favorite bands to this day.
I've been somewhat in love with Nancy Wilson since about 1975....seen them so many times over the decades, from Mountain Vineyards (overlooking Silicon Valley) to DC. Smaller venues to stadiums....Some of the most influential, most honest, hard rocking, sweet singing ladies ever.
John, like you, I've seen Heart many times in DC (Cap Center, Merriwether) and at Mountain Winery too, as well as in San Francisco (Warfield and the America's Cup venue)! They're always awesome. I also saw Ann's solo show in Salem, Oregon last year.
I saw Heart in Seattle on New Year's Eve of 1982.
Nancy is the reason I play guitar. My dad played his heart albums when i was little. And as as soon as I saw and heard her play guitar I was addicted.
in my opinion She was about the best female rock guitaristin in the 70,s& 80,s...
What a charming and pleasant woman. Such an appealing personality.
She’s a thief who steals music - sheeesh!
She is One of my All time Favorite GUITARIST
Her Tone Technique and Style are Incredible
Goodness! Nancy is one of my all time favorite ladies. Love hearing her passion about it; "we were possessed". Heart Rules.
They played at my high school in 72 or 73 , was such a long time ago !
She'll be 1 of those warm loving, chill & electant grandmas the young'uns will think nothing of...until she pick up a guitar & starts gaw'damn SHREDDING!!!
Saw Heart back in the day (1978 ?) and the highlight of the show was their encores in which they did a couple of Zep tunes. They definitely nailed the f**k out of those tunes. Ann singing Plant's part was amazing and Roger Fisher and Nancy nailing Page's riffing. But guys, the thing that really got you...the thing that had you screaming was the freakin' drummer !!.......
Micheal f**kin' Derosier was the key to those performances, going from a band covering a Zeppelin tune to a band OWNING the song and making you question who did it better. Micheal pounded the skins so intensely and so SMOOTHLY that you knew Heart, even before they knew one another, were in their early teens at home working out Zep parts on their respective instruments. They lived and breathed LZ for damn sure.
Why oh why the original guys (Fisher, Fossen and Leese) can't get back with the sisters is beyond me. They were in relationships with one another, you say ? Well Fleetwood Mac seem to have done pretty well despite their romances. I got to see a fantastic Mac concert back in 2004 and if they had given up the ghost tens of thousands of folks would have never gotten to see them perform.
OK...but...they ditched Buckinham, you know, the guy that wrote like 1/3 of their hits.
Nancy Wilson is so sweet and so naturally talented.
Btw there was also a Black Nancy Wilson too during the 60's..I had her Don't Look Over Your Shoulder single, the only Sedaka-Keller written tune.
I love how honest and down to earth she is
Beautiful lady! I love when she does the I Feel Fine bit. 😻
My younger brother and I had that single. We used to put it on my parents' "Stereogram" and turn it up loud as, just for that beginning sound.
The second I heard Nazareth's This Flight Tonight, I knew it. But that's where the similarities end, two very different songs.
~Always loved ♥️
She’s still absolutely gorgeous! Hands down!
Thank you Nancy for a lifetime of rock and roll I've been a fan since the beginning. 🌹. ✌️😎
Her guitar playing skills are epic.
@Steve SmithBroadFU I said her guitar playing , not song writing.. sheeesh.
My personal favorite concert ever out of too many to name. Heart Rocked me through 70s until now. A personal favorite Dog and Butterfly so easy it takes you to a place you knew all to well. Thank you 💓 for your incredible music and lyrics.
Still a beautiful woman. Yeah, I said it. And yes, I was a Nazareth fan too.
I saw them in Sacramento back in 1980. I fought my way to the stage edge just to see Nancy up close. I have been to many concerts over the years, but Heart is in my top 3 all time favorite concerts.
When These Dreams came out, I'm like...wait...this woman sings too? So much talent in one family. Lovely stuff.
Drums, guitars, vocals....all of it made this song.
Exactly
I have always loved this beautiful nice lady being lucky to see her and Ann in the 70's and now. She is amazing and still so shy.
Next to being a great guitarist, she still looks amazing!
Totally does, it has like a gallop to the drums like Achilles.
I am sorry but I disagree
She is a less than average guitarist
Fascinating. And loved to hear that they were studying not just the Beatles (who didn’t?) but “I feel fine” which is to this day one of my all time favorites. It’s usually getting overshadowed by the later stuff, but it’s a near-perfect song.
Still incredible and beautiful! What a great musician she is and singer!
The Wilson Sisters. Ahooooooooo! (wolf cry). That was my all time favorite Beatles 45 rpm record; I Feel Fine. Loved how you sang out that first guitar note here Nancy! Great upload!
Amazing band, amazing women, amazing talents!
Nice to see that Loudwire is talking to really old rockstars who aren’t really metal but still rock.
The really old ones are the best and they are all slowly going away. Enjoy them while we can.
DrummHed Jesus take a chill pill. All I meant was that it was cool that musicians who have been around for many decades it don’t get as much credit are getting interviewed by Loudwire.
@@drummhed83 I'm 60 and my rock idols are REALLY OLD and many have died and more will soon. I just saw Clapton recently and Elton John's final tour. As for you, keep on rockin".
Really old???? Ur actually an asshole I think....u speak of her like she is irrelevant...metal or rock who gives a fuck this woman is a seasoned guitarist .....
Nazareths album "Razamanaz" sounds very heavy
indeed a most beautiful woman-then and now. Never saw a performance, but....while changing out window hardware in her home in the mid 70’s, I kept dawdling and stalling a bit with my work hoping she might show up. T’was not to be- I was so disappointed it took a while to recover. Timing. It was a truly remarkable and elegant estate from another time. The ballroom,
with stage stopped me in my tracks. Thankyou Nancy.
Much respect for this woman ! I loved her playing and those Gibson Nighthawks as well !
The ONCE IN A GENERATION FACTOR about this band is still Ann Wilson’s voice. WOW!
I saw Ann Wilson last month open for ZZ Top. It was like I was listening to a record. Her voice was amazing.
My dad played bass and his favorite band was Nazareth. I used to listen to him play and sing in his room. This flight tonight was one of his favorites. In his later years he started playing barracuda. And boy was it badass listening to pure bass. I wish i could sing and play at the same time.
Loved them in the '70s and love them just as much today. I went to 3 of their concerts. Awesome! ❤️
She has such a beautiful, musical voice too! (yeah, I know she sings but her speaking voice is so nice!)
WOW! For a woman born nearly halfway into the past century, Nancy is stunningly beautiful.
I have.watched vh1 storytellers in late 1990s.both Annie &Nancy were stunning,first women of rock,
Ann was super hot in 76.
I've always thought they've stood the test of time very well. Many rockers don't even make it to 60, and here's two awesome women who can still blow away women half their age in brains, beauty and in straight up being able to rock. Rock on, sistas!! 😀
@@daviddb4858 x 3 my boy
@greenmean1 Which one ? :)
Saw Heart in Nov. 1985 in New Haven, CT - my first concert - It was spectacular! The lovely Wilson sisters ROCK!
I LOVE Heart!! I still listen to all their songs especially on video in RUclips.
Such a class act! Lady that is so Beautiful as well. Nazareth they should have taken it as a compliment instead.
Eric Challender Great point. As I wrote in my comment imitation is the best form of flattery so Nazareth had every reason to take it as a compliment.
The brilliance of Roger Fisher, that's where that guitar tone came from, Nancy.
yeah I'm sure she knows that
Damn skippy!! The band sucked as soon as he left
Nancy is no slouch either when it comes to fingerstyle and rhythm. Have been playing guitar for close to 40 years, and I still can't play the intro to Crazy On You as well as her.
Cannot forget Howard Leese as well.
@@tommyfender1968 I don't even think they were that good when he was in the band either. "Sing Child Sing" by far their best song. Everything else was just second rate.
Almost 62 here and been in love with Nancy since I was a teen in a garage band. Still in love, still play, she's still stunning. Heart doesn't get the credit they deserve IMHO. Rock on you magnificent stunner.❤
What a fabulous lady.....love her abilities to make that guitar really move!
General consensus is that after 40 years of rocking, she's still smoking..
I would absolutely have to agree with you!
Yes! She's a gorgeous woman -- and incredibly talented.
That is a Stone Cold fact my friend. Nancy Wilson forever.
Not natural I bet!
Botox city
"The band had more discipline than I ever would and I love them for that... But every song sounded like they were on bloody horse back". Ozzy remembers iron maiden opening up for him.
:)
Crushing on Nancy since the 70's and proud of it! All hail Heart!
Hey Nance! That is exactly what turned me on from playing Ventures tunes, to The Beatles" and the whole "Plethora" of Britt Invasion stuff. When I heard that "Electric Shaver", (A open) buzz, and then that GREAT riff that followed, it was adios Nokie Edwards, and 'Ello Mates', and a Pip! Pip!, Cheerio!! Been doin Beatle Trib, and Britt Inv. ever since, and of course HEART, Fleetwood, Boston, Byrds even to this day, (now 74!). Thanx Lady, you STILL Knock Me Out! God bless you, Ann, and all!
I was expecting her to say Achilles Last Stand by Zep
Me too!! Especially cause they idolized zeppelin.
Same here, the first time I heard it I immediately said... They lifted that from Achilles! lol
no shit. the song, which i do like, is a total rip off. TOTAL! with whole lotta love breakdown to boot.
It's a gallop. She might as well said they lifted it from Bonanza.
If they didn't borrow this riff from Achilles Heart's drummer definitely borrowed the beat from Bonham. No great shakes. Both legendary bands. Both great songs.
She was the sexiest woman in rock for a long while
Totally agree not because I have a huge crush on her. Damn she is de best.. love her always...
She still looks like an Angel - Without a doubt.
@White Dove Definitely
Yes, she is still insanely attractive
@@AI_Talks_About_The_Bible like an Angel
Magic Man. 1975. I was a little 'younger' back then...what a great song. Excellent band.
I was at that concert in Montreal. It was my first concert at the age of 16. It took place at the old Montreal Forum. And who could forget the park in across the street of the forum and the partying that took place there. Had never heard of Heart until that night. The next day bought the album. They were and still are, outstanding musicians.
I just had a strange feeling. I've never heard Nancy Wilson TALK before. LOL
Right? Just sing
Harpo Wilson😆
She's Just The 'Star' Silent Type!🎸 And Still Beautiful!☺🇺🇸👍
There's a video out there of Nancy walking the viewer through step by step how to play the opening guitar sequence of Crazy On You. I think that was the first time I heard Nancy speak.
@rcbeamer That's funny- because I've heard her mention you in many interviews through the years.
Refreshing to see a musician admit to borrowed material, Ann and Nancy not only rock but appear to have class as well
Everything was 'borrowed' from the masters.
It would be but Roger Fisher came up with that riff. The Wilsons dont like him so they never credit him with it.
Wow Montreal, this is where I'm from... Was watching best guitarists from watchmojo, then watched Heart songs, so many great songs and now here I am... Crazy.
Her impression of the beginning of "I Feel Fine" was perfect! 😄
Damn! She's stunning! Talk about ageing well!
People forget what a wonderful guitar player Nancy Wilson is, she is a rocker.
The opening riff from Crazy On You is the best acoustic/electric intro in Rock history. I'll die on that hill.
The genius behind their best songs, solos and other riffs is this man. ruclips.net/video/ATaS7o9C_qY/видео.html
Montreal still loves your music Nancy! Rock on!
Saw them in 2013 and they sounded as good as ever! Nancy rocks and Anne's voice is strong, controlled and pure as ever!
Joni Mitchell's "Flight Tonight" sounds like Led Zeppelin's "Gallo's Pole". Nazareth's cover intro sounds like Queen's "Keep Yourself Alive". "Barracuda" also sounds like Led Zeppelin's "Achilles Last Stand".
Lesson..... Everybody is "inspired" by something.
The similarities with "Achilles' Last Stand" always struck me - especially the rhythm section during the guitar solo. Very clearly inspired by Zep there. Surprised she didn't mention that!
Say his name Nancy, ROGER FISHER. He who created the Barracuda intro and deserves full credit no matter how badly your feelings are still hurt.
Yeah. Thought the original incarnation of the band was unmistakable. They were raw rock n roll. Later the sound morphed into the trends of the period.
They are still a family. No matter if they left the band or not.
Funny she mentions they can't remember how they made some sounds. Their newer bands sound nothing like the original. I'm glad i caught them live in '79
Good to hear from the always beautiful Nancy.
I love just listening to her talk.
Well.. At least shes honest about the origin of the riff :)... No surprise there. Nazereth has a bunch of killer riffs.
Nazareth borrowed the riff from someone else I'm sure.
Everyone is "borrowing" riffs from everyone else.
achilles last stand.
@@47and28 yup
That rhythm is a simple gallop. Half of Iron Maiden tunes use it. With Barracuda, its all in the tone.
That said...The Horses should Lawyer up and definitely Sue! ;D
Nancy said "I still don't know how we made it.." Look no further than Roger Fisher,Steve Fossen and Howard Leese for bringing chemistry to a chugging "borrowed" riff. Get them back, and we will have more great HEART chemistry.
Jupiter’s Darling is one of my favorite Heart albums of all time and it was released in the 2000’s. Give it a listen.❤️
Ha! Crazy to stumble across this randomly. I was at that Rod Stewart and The Faces concert in Montreal 1975 she mentions, as a very young kid. My parents took me since there was no babysitter available. My not yet wed aunt and uncle were there too. I honestly didn't know Heart opened until years later when my mother told me. At the time they were super new, but supposedly people there were psyched that they were a Canadian group. Plus they rocked!
Class act, classy lady, and every young boys dream in the 80’s
In the 70s 1st , Us 70s BOY Brats were very VERY SPOILED When they really ROCKED ,
