[jvflexx]

She puts every female singer today to SHAME! if u want to call them singers...LOL

[americanqueteapie]

BEST FEMALE ROCK VOICE EVER!

[ruth1972able]

great music , great voice , great style , to me the best female rock singer ever , nobody compares ,face it people singers like this will never come around no more ! thanks u tube for postin this video !! love you pat benatar rip ladies of rock.

[welten17]

Probably the most poweful female rock voice ever!

[flxdcatbruce]

After watching this video, I realized that when they casted Travolta and Newton John for grease..they made a mistake, should have been these two.

[Berniethomas68]

Great song - but you can't share it any where on the net

[logogogo395]

the 15 people who dont like this need to beat them selves with a shovel

[motomech10]

HOT HOT HOT!!

[AishwaryaRaiOnline1]

Pat rocks. Just saw her in tv this morning with Neil performing acoustic and gave interview in between. It was great.

[highmc2]

The perfect Benatar song!

[MidAgeAllisonFan]

This little lady leading that kick-ass band sure made for a really great concert. That goes for seeing her in '82, '83, '88 or in '07. By '07 Pat had lost some edge off her high notes (understandably) Otherwise she totally Rocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[webdznr1]

Asses.. keep whispering to me.

[hellium22]

Salut à tous...je me souviens de PAT BENATAR ...c'était en 1983, en concert à l'hippodrome de PANTIN, j'avais 21 ans et cette fille m'avais ébloui avec sa voix rauque et chaude...je ne l'ai jamais oubliée, et ces disques sont protégés comme des trésors...je suis heureux de la revoir par le bien d'internet, et parmi tous ces tubes " HELL IS FOR CHILDREN " reste gravé à jamais dans ma mémoire...longue vie à elle ...kisses from FRANCE.

[freemanlisa445]

class act

[ptaker762]

pat benatar is the goddess of rock and thats it, she is awesome,and will always be awesome

[espinaca79]

What a great singer. She uses that voice to it's best!!!!

[SRVTOP7ALLTIME]

Pat really pours out her soul on this one !!

Those HIPS !! with a voice to match !!

Her hus could pass for one of the Baldwin bros LOL

[jbf28217]

The 100 pound lady with the 1000 ound voice!!!!

[mandiloyer12]

pat benatar is my greatist artist and my dying wish is to sing with her. she is the greatest

[lobogirl]

i met her and spyder two weeks ago! her through a book signing she's a total sweetie and beautiful in person! and spyder by accident saw this jeep goin near the stage passenger looked famliar it was him! he's a total FOX! in person hearing this song live is so awesome she nails it eveytime!

[FrevrYng]

Love em!! ;) Thanks for sharing!!

[mondo78]

This woman needs to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She is a living legend.

[pepp5150]

Drummer needs some credit!!!!

[oldguy323]

Often imitated never duplicated. There can never be another. Pat is and always will be the measuring stick for Woman of R&R. Can't wait to see her AGAIN at the end of August. Trivia: Does anyone know what the 2nd video ever played on MTV back in 1981 was? Hint: this little lady sang it!

[innamorata40]

@oldguy323 Duh...You Better Run

[pdsand7]

@oldguy323 You better Run!

[Kelski1998]

You Better Run

[logogogo395]

who ever dislike this GO TO HELL

[dlguitar75]

pat benatar is the best, I could listen to her anytime, so beautiful!!!!

[richardroy48]

there"s no one today that can even come close to her.

[livin4fishin09]

@richardroy48 Pat Benetar rocked but Christine Aguilera can sing!!! she has a lot of sole in her voice.

[innamorata40]

@livin4fishin09 two completely different singer. Yes, Benatar rocked, but she can sing as well.

[tachoX2]

I remember this from MTV, early 80's. Damn good...

[birtchfeld1]

Useless trivia... but here goes; actually, I seem to remember Abba's Agneetha Faltskog being voted 'rear of the year' at some point in the late 70's. Again... useless trivia.

[RolandoInPhx]

@birtchfeld1 LOL! I always imagined Pat Benatar's ass smelling like roses, whereas the chicks from Abba's asses smelling like my dog's breath after eating a dead bird in the yard. Strange I tell you...

[birtchfeld1]

@RolandoInPhx Disturbing...

[Lindawatcher]

@birtchfeld1  You know---- he may just be right about that, her ass may indeed smell like roses as he says. I bet what was betweeen her thighs at that period in her life was very sweet as well! YUMMY!!!

[Lindawatcher]

@RolandoInPhx She had such a tight little ass!

[orlandosierra]

I think Pat was already married with Neil at this time, but after that guitar solo, the panties would have dropped...

[Paulie661]

Man she rocked, my all time fav Pat song.

[RolandoInPhx]

Greatest ass in Rock N Roll, argueably the best female rock vocalist of all time.

And her band never got any credit. They were tight as hell. First concert I ever saw; saw them in 1979, I was in 8th grade :-) The Pier in NYC, Billy Squire was the opening act.

[livin4fishin09]

@RolandoInPhx yes!!! and I think that one of the guitarist is her husband?

[RolandoInPhx]

@livin4fishin09 The lead guitarist & her have been married since the early 80's. Still together & still performing.

[recarn8]

@RolandoInPhx no kidding...that is pretty damn good!!!!

[livin4fishin09]

@RolandoInPhx  is that Terry Bozzio on drums? I know he played with Missing Persons and a bunch of other people. great drummer. looks like him??

[RolandoInPhx]

@livin4fishin09 Dont know his name. google it dude.

[innamorata40]

@livin4fishin09 Myron Grombacher is the drummer. Not Terry,

[livin4fishin09]

@innamorata40 ok thanks bro. couldn't really see him. he has those crazy Bozzio moves. ha ha. I am a huge Bozzio fan. he is sooo good. I am a bass player who really wanted to be a drummer. long story. I listen to Bozzio and can't even understand how he does what he does???

[innamorata40]

@livin4fishin09 Ya, both a pretty wild on the drums though!

[spearNmagicHelmet]

kids today have Lady Gaga. I had Pat Benatar. I think I got a better deal.

[Thathoodwink]

This is the album version of the song; it wasn't recorded live but this is the only video for it. I'm thinking they just dubbed it over a live performance.

[bonsgirl]

I have said it before. Holy smokes.

[bonsgirl]

Hottest fucking video every.

[mimidec67]

Wow that lil red headed geek is drumming his ass off! lol

[robhsmi]

spiders a lucky man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[prphotomail]

this is not live ...its totally lip syched...the levels are too solid

[italianfinest99]

SHE IS AWESOME.....LOVE HER....STILL LOOKS AMAZING!!!! they dont write songs like this anymore!!!! everyword of her songs mean something....love it

[italianfinest99]

@italianfinest99 im kimmieshuz13@yahoo. this is my sun....lol

[jbf28217]

I saw her last night (5-30-10) at Speed Street in Charlotte the night before the Coca-Cola 600...... Wow, she was amazingIIII I figured at age 57 her voice might have lost a notch or two.... BOY WAS I WRONG!!! Her voice echoed off of the skyscrapers downtown with about 30k in attendance. She used it as a weapon all night.... I can't say enough!!!! BLOWN AWAY!!!!!!

Down here in Charlotte... WE LOVE YOU Mrs. Benatar. Plz come back and do it again next year!!!

[spazracing94]

I like how most of her songs had a meaning to it and thats something you rarely see now a days

[spoony303]

had a weird dream last night that i was her new drummer, then Aretha Franklin came on stage, and did a mash up version of P-R-O-M-I-S-E-S. yeah, weird.

[Sheldonwh]

Benatar said in an interview that she wrote this song on a plane trip. The hum of the engines provided in background and you can hear it in the intro. She wrote the lyrics about her guitarist (and future husband) Neil Giraldo, and slipped them under his hotel room door as a note because she was still shy about her lyric skills. How cute is that! : )

[donnysteve76]

her guitar player is a stud muffin

[Sheldonwh]

@donnysteve76 Correction: Her guitarist/HUSBAND is a stud muffin.  And look at the fading on those jeans! : )

[Lindawatcher]

@Sheldonwh Well that explains why she often walked like she was a little bow-legged or something.... he must have really left her should we say?:>> Sore?

[deni696969]

good times  mmmmm fr deni crappi so

[TheEhereford]

law

[gorgeoustxwoman]

Mr. and Mrs. Gerardo ROCK!

[welten17]

Energizer Bunny!!! Lifts me up always. She is awesome!!!

[ignaciopaula]

says live, but sounds just like da album???

[indiemuzochick]

Awesome song, awesome singer and awesome band. Pat and co. rock

[TeddRi]

One of the most awesome voices out there and she has lasted the test of time, unreal lady !

[mikeknight4u]

I grew up listing to her music but never realized she really put together such a highly talented band. Although I must confess being a drummer I think her drummer is insanely great!

[JJ042271]

I love Pat...Nuff said,,,

[birdseye11]

Myron Grombacher was outstanding on drums for her band as well.

[YankeeNH10]

Epic guitar solo and one of the best female voices ever. Only Ann Wilson and Whitney Houston can compare. (Maybe Celine.)

[wvjch01]

Still amazing!

[balletcomposer]

Smokin' performance. Right out of my youth. Wish I coulda played guitar like that!

[hirskdubbi]

sorry,one of the best concerts i saw in 83

[ssweeps1]

Sorry worst concert I ever saw in 1983...

[badtupram]

Amazing.  Just love Pat. She's the best.

[DMetalMaryCa]

The Guitarist Later Became Her Husband of Many Years and are still together today... He is Responsible for Most of Her Hits... so He Deserves Some Props!!!

[dunndeanerdog1]

Absolute rock royalty...Period!

[Ragenrider]

You never hear women trying to cover Ann or Pat. They just can't.

[mindprism]

@Ragenrider "You never hear women trying to cover Ann or Pat"

One of my home girls does Pat to a tee. Awesome girl.

[freethebee]

The jeans on the guitarist are most definitely EPIC!

[hirskdubbi]

@freethebee the tightest penis compressingist,testicle squeezin skinny jeans ever!

[LOREN1882]

she rules. and that's that.

[jvflexx]

@LOREN1882 AMEN!

[welten17]

Absolutely powerful song and performance!!! WOW!!! Love it.

[msmoore12]

She should be a judge on American Idol~ she has been there done that got a T-shirt and more! Still Touring! Wow

[80sladies]

@msmoore12 No real singer would be associated with American Idol. Paula Abdul? She was a dancer. Her vocal talents were iffy at best.

[572blownhemi]

best set a pipes ever in a female!!!!!!!!!!

[randyg711]

@572blownhemi - Ann Wilson is right up there...tough call!

[innamorata40]

@572blownhemi- Agreed. Benatar and Ann Wilson are in a class of their own.

To me, both are above any other, yesterday and today!

[GOODY61]

@572blownhemi Hard to pick among my top 3, PB, Linda Ronstadt and Ann Wilson. All are equally great.

[Just4Meeeee]

How can they NOT be in the Rock N Roll Hall of FAME???

Pat and Neil STILL ROCK!!!

[80sladies]

@Just4Meeeee How are BOTH Pat Benatar and Ann Wilson not in the Rock N' Roll HoF? But Madonna and Run DMC are in? LOL! At this point, I consider it a badge of honor to not be included in that company.

[angelbe88]

I love this song~ Pat is my idol.

[robi2000]

I saw them live back in the 80's and that red head drummer stood the whole time . He had a unique stage set up , really awesome

[MISSFLORENCE1]

my favorite song ! The best of pat ! Beautifull ! Thanks a lot !

[martyshack717]

Pink sucks.

[mediamamachick]

Brings back some serious memories..Friday Night Videos, on NBC..

Pat is a true belter...her voice is like hitting a home run it just keeps going & going, flying higher & higher w/ speed.

No sure if anyone else agrees but Pink could be the next Pat Benatar. When she really sings she can sail as well. open to any opinions........

[sixstringb71]

I remember as a kid in the 80's having a crush on her and rockin' to her music. Every time we would be at the beach I'd always hear her on the arcade stereo or on the juke box at pizza hut! LOL

[AncelDeLambert]

BEST SONG EVAH!!!! I'm always throwing horns at 2:43.

[sugarrgerl7]

@wi9x

LOL.....Showin' your age.....;D

[pat77500]

PAT BENATAR always in my MP3

A great fan from France

[1fastfoxiam]

Boy, she just belts it out at about the 2:30 mark then Neil just shreds it. I don't think any of the female singers today, or a lot of the male singers could hold a candle to her and the raw power of her voice.

[innamorata40]

No back up singers need apply!!! lol

[5lowrollD]

This is one of the greatest guitar solos of the 80's by Neil.

[jbf28217]

The 100lbs lady with the 1000lbs VOICE!!!!

[HnFLabs]

@jbf28217 She's a mere slip of a lass, but her voice is a sumo.

[flokk]

what a beauty. and LOL, i'm glad it's the internetz because as a 26 year old male i can never admit to liking pat benatar in real life!

[daladiesman22]

lol thats so true!

[ViciousAlienKlown]

Why? her music rocks and its way better than the crap out today...its easy to like her.

[dennis345]

I was a young boy in high school when her first LP came out.  Right when the hormones were flowing, and I was smitten. Still am. She just oozes sex appeal, she wrote great songs, and that voice just left me in awe. Damn, DAMN she was hot!

[slickdaddy2010]

FUCKN EPIC!......PERIOD!

[jojoheartspaypay]

To think, this is all live.TRULY FUCKING AMAZING.Got the moves down, beautiful, and a great ass too!!! There's the QUEEN.

[hazor777]

Her ASS looks so hott !! Oh yea, and she can sing too !

[dewdew34]

Check out her Wuthering Heights video, she 's got pipes.

[chibicelchan]

My all time favorite song of hers. Probably in my top 5 favorite songs ever. Just perfect!

[tomitstube]

i remember seeing pat back in the day. i didn't let on, but it felt like i was being dragged to her concert by a date... she was huge at the time, playing arenas.

great concert and i instantly became a fan. the band is awesome. she's a little thing with a huge voice.

[CIEGE1000]

heart can b sort of hit or miss, pat is much more reliable.

how is it possible 2 hit the high & low pitches that she does? she's so good it should b illegal.

[ssweeps1]

Still the worst concert I ever went to in 1983 at the LA Sports Arena....oh maybe the Go-Go's with Belinda Carlisle's thrashed voice in 1984 at Irvine Meadows.

[lifer11]

Obviously you're a fucking idiot. Pat Benatar puts on a show like no other female rock singer. You also mention that you went to a Go Go's concert, well that in itself shows your inferior taste in music and inability to recognize true talent so go fuck yourself

[vallah69]

sorry dude i hit the wrong thumb button while yelling at kids and trying to jam out at the same time, see what happens,lmao. I totally agree with you, go gos---get the fuck out of here ;O-:)

[pharoe83]

I still love you Pat---you are the best ever--you defined a generation--i will never forget---thanks for the timeless classics--still rockin in the 417

[pat77500]

Pat la tigresse des années 80

de la pure dynamite

[odomfel]

Good Lord does this woman have a voice. No one in todays music can compare.

[ddoublled]

Neil Geraldo=one of the best guitarists ever and so under rated

[bonsgirl]

one of the best rock and roll songs out there. Pat and Niel=perfection.

[OnlyAPawn1970]

90lbs of pure talent,sex appeal and so much more...

[jbf28217]

Pat Benatar..... THE fisrt lady of Rock and Roll!!!

[Bobbipens]

I am so glad I had Pat to listen to in the

80s.  She is a uniqe talent. What a great singer and a great band. Nothing like this out there today!

[generalbullmoose]

I think the drummer's on crack or something....

[tedc1560]

Such a HUGELY under-rated guitarist. A producer and once collaborated with bignames such as Rick Derringer, Neil Giraldo has awesome technique and soul. His leads are searing and match the fiery vocals of Pat. Rock on Neil!

[AMXhotrod]

Yeah, yeah, I know this is a sexist remark , but man o man I forgot what a great ass she had. You could bounce quarters off that thing!

I do love her music, but man o man!

[smegweevil]

She hits those high notes at top volume without even trying! Pat can really belt it!

[ricemeli]

Pat rocks my soul, but at the same moment touches it deeply, as cheesy as that may sound. Cornball, I know... But, "Promises in the Dark"... Ouchy. You gotta love her rawness. She speaks for so many of us. Timeless artist and beauty.

[lancetop]

Pat isn't just a rocker. She is a bonified and recognized mezzo soprano. Fit for operatic singing. The woman is frickin' amazing. LOVE this song! By the way I'm 54, a year younger than Pat:)

[Cleofizoid]

I coulda sworn I just saw a interview with her, and she said she was 57...made me feel oh so young. Loves me some Pat.

[katschultz68]

The whole song lyrically and musically is fantastic....But 2:35 - 2:45 is so undeniably incredible!!!! Thank you Pat...how lucky those of us are who grew up with you in the 80's

[lancetop]

katschultz68 is right.  Pat Benatar is a bonifierd mezzo soprano. proof of that is 2:35-2:45!

[SageSarjay]

never again...no more promises in the dark mom....been there, done that......I am OK......t T t....Q

[jbf28217]

I had forgotten how awsome SHE IS !!!! My older sister turned me on to Pat Benatar when I was 10 yrs old. I think I'll go thank her again after watching this video! WOW!!!!!

[cpcjd3720]

amazing

[jackmehoffer68]

She was so freakin' great! I'm a guy but sing her shit like a woman!!!

[jacquesjapan]

Hey. Rock and Roll.

[Za7a7aZ]

It always comes to my thoughts why they never grew to some big band because the album wit this song was so unique and good in its way that I expected them to become succesfull through out the decades but they never had such an album ever again. She is a great singer tho. They do BBQ's and weddings now I heared?

[M1903A1]

What are you talking about? Pat Benatar had a multitude of hits in the 80s.

[ilparamore21]

PAt Benetar and her husband now produce music like their daughter's and Pat has continued to make album just a different type of music. Her band has made numerous top ten hits and then some....FYI!

[crush927]

Are you an idiot, uninformed or both? Pat and Niel decided to step back from the spotlight and mainstream music as far as recording and now record the type of music that is important to them. They still tour in the summer mostly and play at alot of military bases in support of our troups. Before you make a stupid statement like "They do BBQ's and weddings" Do your homework!!!!!

[Za7a7aZ]

Thanks for doing my homework for me.......great to hear that they do whatever they want to do..would be nice to have them over for a BBQ tho.

[ebquinn]

2:16 to 2:46 maybe the best vocal half a minute in rock/pop history. "So you put up your guard and you try to be hard, but your heart says try again." Sung with so much emotion, subtle but slamming.

[innamorata40]

The subscriber of this video claims this is live....

This is directly from the album and not live. I've heard this song a million times since I was a teenager. The audience makes the video appear live, but it is not.

[blueracer17]

Who care's.

[lobogirl]

she is so amazing concert! i love her she's awesome

[JHGOODFELLA]

Shes got little titties..but their perky and hot on her!

[AEROCOOPER67]

without a doubt,her best song.

[RogueWinds]

She wanted to be an opera singer...and that is how she trained

[blueracer17]

Not really, her parents wanted her to be an opera singer. She is trained in opera, but her heart is in rock and roll. Her parents were to strict to allow her to go to rock and roll shows or clubs growing up. They would let her go to operas and shows however.

[RogueWinds]

My point was...the opera training is what made her such a strong singer.

[shadaze64]

wnen i heard 4 mi first tme i tout it said die!!!!!!!!!!

[safehouse123]

Nobody will ever "get to me" again....

[innamorata40]

I will be meeting Pat and Neil backstage at the Pacific Amp. show in Costa Mesa tonight. After the meet and greet, I get to sit on the side of the stage during the concert. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

[zerobubbel]

This is an all time classic....one of the first albums I just needed to have...great guitar work and vocals. Would love to see them perform in The Netherlands some day.

[DanceHelena138]

She was only 5 foot and 98 pounds durning this time,

Such a huge and powerful voice coming out of such a tiny thing. =)

She really is amazing.
