🙋♀️ Hi Polo! I’m new to your channel; have been bingeing your back catalog. ❤️ A few suggestions: “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” (Pat Benatar” “I Love Rock & Roll” (Joan Jett) “Tupelo Honey” (Van Morrison) “Workin’ at the Carwash Blues” (Jim Croce) “The Gambler” (Kenny Rogers) “When Doves Cry” (Prince) “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” (Kennedy Center Honors for George Harrison by Tom Petty and a whole host of other stars, including Prince with a stunning guitar solo) And anything else (literally, anything) by Billy Joel, Styx, or Queen Thanks for overcoming your fear of being on camera to share your reactions with us. As a 58yo white woman, I love watching my favorite music appeal to younger people 👍💐
I was a freshman in HS. Pat was a senior. We were in choir. Mrs Ruel the choir teacher thought she would be an opera singer. Surprise! Pat revered Mrs. Ruel till her death in 2006.
The guy with the guitar is her husband, Neil Giraldo. He wasn't when this video was made. He married her in 1982. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame .
Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Love Is A Battlefield, Hell Is For Children, All Fired Up.... We Belong is a slower, amazing song... all by the great Pat Benetar!!!❤❤❤
You were right. It's the guy with the swagger. Nabbed her up and I would have to guess that they are probably the longest married couple in Rock and roll history. I could be wrong but I honestly don't know of any other rock and roll duet that is been married as long as they have.. not only a musical inspiration but an inspiration in relationship longevity as well. And nobody would dare remake this song because nobody has the pipes that this woman has. She cannot be duplicated, nor could anybody possibly improve on this song? This was musical magic and that only happens once my friend so enjoy it in its true masterful form!
You Better Run is a totally smoking song. She was giving off that ultra GIRL POWER vibe. The MTV video is great. That outfit! She knew fashion and she definitely had the figure to wear it. Great vocals and a simple riff, but really a great song. The ultimate 'kick em to the curb' song.
@@BrimHawk it'll be your loss. She's received accolades from Lars Ulrich and Metallica after singing with Metallica, Dolly Parton, Robert Plant, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Nicks just to name a few. She receives standing ovations at festivals like Glastonbury with 300,000 fans when she covers rock tunes. If you don't like Miley's rock music covers, you aren't much of a music fan and have no soul for rock. Just my opinion, just like yours.
@@boroblueyes I'm 61, been to dozens of rock concerts. So agreed, no soul for rock, lol. Seen Boston, Triumph, The Cars, The Who, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, The Guess Who, and plenty of other rock bands. Your supporting list is rather weak, IMO. I would be much more impressed with Miley Cyrus, if she was capable of writing, AND performing her own songs. Playing someone else's music makes you nothing more than a cover artist. I find her extremely underwhelming. Again, as you mention, just an opinion, based on 45 years of attending music and rock concerts.
@@BrimHawk she does write her own music and songs. I'm 66 and been to a helluva lot more concerts than you have, good grief. I've probably been to more Grateful Dead shows than you have concerts. Get real, you've never listened to Miley Cyrus, because if you had, you wouldn't be making ridiculous statements. If you just want to troll and argue, get a life. You have no musical understanding.
Pat Benatar kicked the door wide open for female rockers to come. I love her. And it's rare if anyone attempts her songs, because it's too easy to fail in comparison.
OK - I MUST have heard this song 1000s of times, over the years - and, JUST got chills from the first refrain she just hit in this performance!! LOVED PAT BENETAR: STILL DO!!!! ENJOY, POLO!! THANKS for the reactions, Hon!!!
HS grad of 1979 here. Sang in lots of rock bands. She was my Everest! Like Kelly Clarkson and GaGa, in college she studied opera. So fun to watch my daughter sing this in her rock band. Better than me dang it! lolol
yes, awesome and handsome LEAD guitarist neil "spyder" giraldo is the guy that became her husband, just a few short years after this performance. they are both extremely lucky and down-to-earth people to have each other 😊 she has many, many more but you've hit most of my fav pat songs ("promises in the dark" - my most favourite, "fire & ice", and now "heartbreaker") so what's left on my list is: you better run treat me right shadows of the night (one of my other most favourites) and if you're in the mood for a little less rock 'n roll, more synth/dance/pop, "we live for love" is excellent too. also: if you wanna hear more of neil giraldo's excellent guitar work, check out rick springfield's huge hit "jessie's girl" with neil's sweet, sweet guitar solo. lovin these pat reactions, polo! keep em comin! ❤
Those of us that grew up on MTV of any race (yes even black kids) was listening to Pat Benatar..she was included in our musical rotation! ❤ Good Music and Crazy Fashion .. we loved it all.😂
A friend of mine, a great keyboard/piano player, was offered a job touring with two different bands…one with a female lead named Benatar that was going to tour a lot, and the other a local group. He took the job with the local band. PAT BENATAR - became a superstar, the other band dismantled shortly after. I don’t think he got over that decision. I felt so bad, I never talked with him about it again.
“You better run” the way she hits “head” will give you chills. “Love is a Battlefield” is a must watch video that will make you chuckle just cuz of the time warp of the early 80’s💯
I remember Pat Benetar at the First Rocklahoma Concert with Sammy Hagar ( solo act then ) and VanHalen ( Best VanHalen show I saw 4 of them ) and the ...Doobie Brothers . I was pure MAGIC . PK
For those of us in the 'old people' category, this was our introduction to her. When that song hit the radio, we knew the void left by the Wilson sisters had been filled with some very capable shoes (stiletto pumps, of course). It had been several years since we had heard a real rocking female. She was tiny. She was cute AF. She was FIERCE. We loved her.
That song is awesome, but I am nearly positive he already reacted to that one. I believe this is the second Pat Benatar reaction video after that one. He loved it btw.
She's made a bunch of great songs and a lot of them have been reacted to on YT. Here's a highly underrated one that rarely gets requested: "Precious Time".
Love her...she was my idol! Still is! Neil is the guitar solo guy! This song hasn't been redone, to my knowledge. There is no one out there to do it justice... The next listen...Hell is for Children
The hellacious lead guitarist in the striped shirt on her left is her husband. Would love to see you do You Better Run. It’s a banger. If you liked the energy in this, you’ll LOVE it too.
Pat Benatar was a rocker but she was a traditional family supporter. She took laundry equipment on the bus to show her daughters how to be home makers.
As the comments have said, she is in the hof. Refused induction unless her husband was inducted with her...I don't know if it is the entire band, if not, it should be. Also, shadows of the night and you better run ... which was the second video to be played on MTV, after video killed the radio star. 🙂
Great choice Polo, Pat Benatar is deservingly in the RRHOF as she should be with her incredible power and range. She was always in the top 20 with a hit all thruout the most of the 80s as far as I can remember.
Ahh, was in Junior High School and when this came out, we girls wanted to BE Pat Benatar ❤️. By the way, she was an operatic trained singer. Next reactions for her; Promises In The Dark, You Better Run, Hell Is For Children, so much more!! 🔥🔥🔥 SO psyched (showing my 57 years there) that you dig Pat Benatar! You were right! The hot guitarist in the striped shirt married her 😂😂😂
Polo has already done Promises in the Dark a month ago. He also did Fire and Ice very recently. Hell is for Children and You Better Run would be good for reaction videos, like you mentioned.
Pat was a huge fan of Led Zeppelin, and wanted to be the female Robert Plant. You see it in her stage mannerisms and prescence. She also studied opera and was accepted to Juilliard.
Back in the late 70's you had established female vocalists, but Ann & Nancy Wilson, Debbie Harry and Pat Benatar came along and kicked the door down for rock vocalists. Yes Debbie was more punk/new wave but she still had the cojenes. This was the first single from Pat and she just took off from here. I had a friend that worked at a FM rock station and when they first played this song it blew up their phones. Her first four albums are absolutely solid.
Fun little fact. As a young teen watching the NFL on CBS in the 80s, I specifically remember CBS running highlights during pregame with Pat Benatar's song "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" as the soundtrack. Of course in the 80s they didn't shy away from ultra violent defensive hits in their highlights either, so it fit.
I believe this one of her first two big radio hits. and yeah, this got some ENERGY. so far NO ONE has tried to cover it. (except for tribute bands of course)
The guy that did the guitar solo is The Man! You are correct. This was the first song we heard from Pat Benatar and we all instantly took notice. Try "You Better Run" and "All Fired Up".
I'm glad you like this one, Polo. I would recommend Hell is for Children and Shadows of the Night to do reaction videos next. Also really happy you pronounced Benatar right this time.
Been a fan since I was very young in the 70s & seen her perform just a couple of years ago & she sounded as good as ever. It was very obvious her & her husband are still madly in love after all these years. Super cute e. It was a great show!
You nailed it, the guy soloing is now her husband. More bangers are You Better Run, Precious Time, All Fired Up,Everybody Lay Down and Helter Skelter. She will also blow your mind with her more classic vocals on Wuthering Heights and Don't Let it Show. Here's a live version of her covering Crying by Roy Orbison...this is the classic voice not rock voice.
This song was featured in the chase scene of the movie "Nobody" in 2021. If you saw that movie, you heard this song. It was a great scene - a perfect showcase for the song! I believe her husband is the lead guitar player in the striped shirt. I only say "I believe" because this is a REALLY early video I've never seen before - but he's a really handsome guy and criminally underrated guitar player. I had a babysitter in 1980 who was one of those "hot moms" - long blonde hair, drove a jeep - of course I looked up to her because she was super cool. She loved Pat Benatar and played her all the time. It was a lot to look up to for a 10 year-old. VERY VERY few women did this kind of music - Heart, The Runaways, and a few girl punk bands . I still have Benatar's 2nd, 3rd, and 4th albums - the originals I bought at the time with my own money. I got to see her for the first time live in 2004 in Toledo Ohio - She was as amazing as I knew she would be. A trained voice, so it's well preserved. Thanks for these amazing reactions.
Hey Polo, here's my first fave from Pat Benatar, back in my high school days in the 80's, called 'Love Is A Battlefield' and also 'Hit em With Your Best Shot' for good measure.
Pat benatar you seem to really like her i'm glad she's excellent. There are two songs that you might wanna think aboutThere are two songs that you might wanna think about with He'll is for children And We belong to the night

A few suggestions:
“Hit Me With Your Best Shot” (Pat Benatar”
“I Love Rock & Roll” (Joan Jett)
“Tupelo Honey” (Van Morrison)
“Workin’ at the Carwash Blues” (Jim Croce)
“The Gambler” (Kenny Rogers)

And anything else (literally, anything) by Billy Joel, Styx, or Queen

Glad you liked this one. I was hoping you'd review it. And yes, you guessed right on the husband.
For a modern badass female lead singer check out the pretty reckless...death by rock n roll
I was a freshman in HS. Pat was a senior. We were in choir. Mrs Ruel the choir teacher thought she would be an opera singer. Surprise! Pat revered Mrs. Ruel till her death in 2006.

There are 3 guys with guitars … HaHaa 👍🏻
Yeah she def didn’t marry the bouncing balding dude on bass 😂
@@Asiram323 🤣🤣
Polo, check out Heart. Ann & Nancy Wilson are great female rock singers.
Magic Man, Barracuda, Straight Up
The guy with the swag.
Pat is a Rock Legend, Hell is for Children, Fire and Ice, Invincible, Love is a Battlefield, Shadows of the Night,
Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Love Is A Battlefield, Hell Is For Children, All Fired Up.... We Belong is a slower, amazing song... all by the great Pat Benetar!!!❤❤❤
Here's my Heart is beautiful as well.
Great list. I'd add Invincible to it.
You should see her in concert! They still perform!
You were right. It's the guy with the swagger. Nabbed her up and I would have to guess that they are probably the longest married couple in Rock and roll history. I could be wrong but I honestly don't know of any other rock and roll duet that is been married as long as they have.. not only a musical inspiration but an inspiration in relationship longevity as well. And nobody would dare remake this song because nobody has the pipes that this woman has. She cannot be duplicated, nor could anybody possibly improve on this song? This was musical magic and that only happens once my friend so enjoy it in its true masterful form!
You Better Run is a totally smoking song. She was giving off that ultra GIRL POWER vibe. The MTV video is great. That outfit! She knew fashion and she definitely had the figure to wear it. Great vocals and a simple riff, but really a great song. The ultimate 'kick em to the curb' song.
She aged quite beautifully! And still has a voice!!!! Kudos to their marriage !!!! Neil is a exceptional guitarist!!!!!
The world needs more women rockers!
Try some Miley Cyrus cover songs.
@@boroblueyes Oh hell no.

You were right he’s the one!! He’s the Heartbreaker! Neil Geraldo and Pat Benatar happily married for 40 years!!
Pat Benatar kicked the door wide open for female rockers to come. I love her. And it's rare if anyone attempts her songs, because it's too easy to fail in comparison.
My first concert September 15th. 1981 in the Rochester NY war memorial, will never forget it!!
Pat Benatar was formally trained opera vocalist
She’s a badass!
Totally
And her voice is STILL amazing today, just as strong and in the pocket as always!
Love is a battlefield was one of my favorites of hers. 70’s and 80’s was the greatest music in history!
Pat is a trained Opera singer. She flipped the script and came out guns blazing as a rock singer.
OK - I MUST have heard this song 1000s of times, over the years - and, JUST got chills from the first refrain she just hit in this performance!! LOVED PAT BENETAR: STILL DO!!!! ENJOY, POLO!! THANKS for the reactions, Hon!!!
HS grad of 1979 here. Sang in lots of rock bands. She was my Everest! Like Kelly Clarkson and GaGa, in college she studied opera. So fun to watch my daughter sing this in her rock band. Better than me dang it! lolol
Class of '80 here!! I did live sound from 79-2020...many years in a 6 nite a week circuit band. Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Iowa...
Class of 83 - I too sang and played guitar in rock bands - Ann Wilson and Pat Benatar were my inspirations and I really dug doing their tunes.
Pat has one of the best voices of any female rocker. A rabbit hole well worth going into
I love how open you are to new music, I like when people get out of their comfort zone! I love your reactions
Promises in the dark and Fire and ice are amazing tracks
Yes, Neil "Spider" Geraldo, who is the main guitar player, is her husband.
He is a GREAT guitarist !!!!!!
yes, awesome and handsome LEAD guitarist neil "spyder" giraldo is the guy that became her husband, just a few short years after this performance. they are both extremely lucky and down-to-earth people to have each other 😊
she has many, many more but you've hit most of my fav pat songs ("promises in the dark" - my most favourite, "fire & ice", and now "heartbreaker") so what's left on my list is:
you better run
treat me right
shadows of the night (one of my other most favourites)
and if you're in the mood for a little less rock 'n roll, more synth/dance/pop, "we live for love" is excellent too.
also: if you wanna hear more of neil giraldo's excellent guitar work, check out rick springfield's huge hit "jessie's girl" with neil's sweet, sweet guitar solo.
lovin these pat reactions, polo! keep em comin! ❤

Promises in the Dark, Fire and Ice, All Fired Up, You Better Run 😊. Love Pat Benatar ❤
One of the few songs perfect from start to finish!
“You better run” the way she hits “head” will give you chills. “Love is a Battlefield” is a must watch video that will make you chuckle just cuz of the time warp of the early 80’s💯
This was fire in my day Polo. 🖖🏼

Neil “SPYDER” Giraldo is an incredibly amazing guitarist and criminally underrated!
There is no one in the world that would be crazy enough to try to rerecord this. This is Hers. Period.
Great reaction….. Pat Benatar was a goddess 🥰
If you were of age in the 1980s you heard Pat on the radio quite a lot. Her and Patty Smyth were top female artists back then.
They were playing this song in the cafeteria jukebox at my junior high school in 1980.
Promises in the Dark is one of my favorites!! 😊
That song is awesome, but I am nearly positive he already reacted to that one. I believe this is the second Pat Benatar reaction video after that one. He loved it btw.
She's made a bunch of great songs and a lot of them have been reacted to on YT. Here's a highly underrated one that rarely gets requested: "Precious Time".
'79 was my Senior year of high school. This was her first big hit and I remember listening to this while washing trucks at UPS.
Love her...she was my idol! Still is! Neil is the guitar solo guy! This song hasn't been redone, to my knowledge. There is no one out there to do it justice...
The next listen...Hell is for Children
Yep the guy with the killer solo is her husband.
1979..."well before I was born..."... That's the year I graduated high school...😂 We had the best music!
The hellacious lead guitarist in the striped shirt on her left is her husband. Would love to see you do You Better Run. It’s a banger. If you liked the energy in this, you’ll LOVE it too.
Pat dominated the late seventies and early eighties and she did it all with ATTITUDE!!
Best part is that she and Neil are still touring. Gotta love rock and roll!
You aint wrong, that's her husband. Neil Geraldo isnt on most guys fav guitarists list, but he should be. Dude is fya! So, she got a lil lucky too.✌🏼
Oh Hell yes
Pat Benatar was a rocker but she was a traditional family supporter. She took laundry equipment on the bus to show her daughters how to be home makers.
Yes, Polo, that's the one that got her.
A very powerful and sad song she sings is “Hell is For Children”.
As the comments have said, she is in the hof. Refused induction unless her husband was inducted with her...I don't know if it is the entire band, if not, it should be. Also, shadows of the night and you better run ... which was the second video to be played on MTV, after video killed the radio star. 🙂
She was a great role model for me as a teenager in the 1970s! Firece woman! ❤😊❤
Saw Pat in concert last year, still rocking!!!!
This is not a live performance - but this band is still killer!!
Great choice Polo, Pat Benatar is deservingly in the RRHOF as she should be with her incredible power and range. She was always in the top 20 with a hit all thruout the most of the 80s as far as I can remember.

@@frommatorav1 Thank you for that; I’ve been busy so haven’t followed daily and should have checked first. Thanks again!
@@jacqueline4514 No problem. Promises in the Dark was a real good reaction video, too. I'd recommend to check it out.
More Pat Benatar - "Shadows of the Night", "We Belong", and "Promises in the Dark" !
Pat was a huge fan of Led Zeppelin, and wanted to be the female Robert Plant. You see it in her stage mannerisms and prescence. She also studied opera and was accepted to Juilliard.
My sister Susie saw them perform in PA a few years ago. It slowed down a lot but still Amazing like they are.
Pat Benatar song "Hell is for children" is her best and most touching song.
Neil Gerardo is the guitarist with the swagger... he is also married to Pat...😉😀❤
You are correct Sir!
The song was written for and originally recorded by Jenny Darren in 1978
"what're you guys tryin'ta do to me?" - introduce a cool young dude to real old fashioned music! right on.
pat was prob my first crush as far as musicians go.. and loved her music!!
Pat was a Polish-American girl who kept her first husband's last name. Heartbreaker was her first hit.
Back in the late 70's you had established female vocalists, but Ann & Nancy Wilson, Debbie Harry and Pat Benatar came along and kicked the door down for rock vocalists. Yes Debbie was more punk/new wave but she still had the cojenes.
This was the first single from Pat and she just took off from here.
I had a friend that worked at a FM rock station and when they first played this song it blew up their phones.
Her first four albums are absolutely solid.
In my opinion, she's a big part of the type of music AND style that dominated the 80's.
Her husband is on lead guitar. The one on the side by himself.
Fun little fact. As a young teen watching the NFL on CBS in the 80s, I specifically remember CBS running highlights during pregame with Pat Benatar's song "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" as the soundtrack. Of course in the 80s they didn't shy away from ultra violent defensive hits in their highlights either, so it fit.
I believe this one of her first two big radio hits. and yeah, this got some ENERGY. so far NO ONE has tried to cover it. (except for tribute bands of course)
Great song!!! Glad you are enjoying this journey.
Love her. Miss this
Ya know, Pat was trained as a professional opera singer. The guy on the axe is her now husband of many years, Neal Giraldo.
Hell freakin YES! I was raised on Benatar. That was fun :)
"That's the one that got her"...Hell yeah
The guy that did the guitar solo is The Man! You are correct. This was the first song we heard from Pat Benatar and we all instantly took notice. Try "You Better Run" and "All Fired Up".
Hell Yeah
As other's have probably said, "Hit me with your best Shot" was the same time period for her and another great song.
She was a 🧨 FIRECRACKER!
You're right. It's nice to see that they're still together. They've always been an absolute team.
Go ahead and say it….We all wish that either pat was our mom or that our own mom was this bad ass ❤
Didn't know she had Polish roots. All the best from Warsaw, Poland :)
I'm glad you like this one, Polo. I would recommend Hell is for Children and Shadows of the Night to do reaction videos next. Also really happy you pronounced Benatar right this time.

I love the percussionist, hes always so animated. 🤙
I love Pat Benatar and have been a fan from the beginning!!! Thanks Polo!
You definately heard this before! She is still all over the radio!!! Yes, the lead guitarist Neil Getardo is her husband and co song writer!
Hey Polo, here's my first fave from Pat Benatar, back in my high school days in the 80's, called 'Love Is A Battlefield' and also 'Hit em With Your Best Shot' for good measure.
We belong… a must listen
Love is a battle field ❤❤❤❤😂❤
Pat benatar you seem to really like her i'm glad she's excellent.
There are two songs that you might wanna think aboutThere are two songs that you might wanna think about with
He'll is for children And We belong to the night
Her stage presence is just on another level 💯
No one can remake this!
Her husband is Neil Giraldo, her lead guitarist 🎸 a true rock and roll marriage
I was 21, yup, she is FIRE! Her man was the SwaGuitar on her right! Great seeing a musical couple make it... "Hell is for Children" - a must!
AHHHH MAN ! You missed the actual live performance from them. You HAVE to check it out. She destroys that stage.
