Happy 60th Birthday, Pat Benatar

[Va Beach VH Fan]

SO sexy....

[jhale667]

LOOOOOVED her as a kid...

[Matt White]

PAT has more talent than every Pop-Tart combined......X 1,000,000



And we all KNOW who the 1st GUITAR PLAYER to appear on MTV......;)



Yup.....MARTINA knows...

[jhale667]

Dude - trained opera singer, wasn't she? The chick has pipes few outside of the Arethas and Mariahs of the world can hang with...and I seriously can't see Mariah pullin' off a rock tune, honestly. Aretha has the growl down, she could pull it off... but I digress. :hee:

[DONNIEP]

Pat's a rocker. And looked good doing it too :thumb:

[Zing!]

Not ashamed to say happy b-day to Pat! Always thought she had a great voice and sexy as hell.

[vandeleur]

Happy birthday pat .
I still play all fired up , great tune

[sadaist]

Just can not say enough good things about Pat.

Great rocker chick, great voice, great music, beyond classy, just such a terrific icon. I fell in love with her when I saw the poster in my sisters room of Pat in a straight jacket. Seen her live and it was a knockout show.

Happy Birthday Pat.

I always loved Promises In The Dark.
Happy birthday, Miss Benatar, you made me wet my pants big time.

[SunisinuS]

Ditto Baby....lol my first band tried out a few female singers.....but one true test...they had to sing a Benatar Song as part of the audtion....



Happy Birthday you sweet doll and much respect!

[Green Manalishi]

Saw her open up for The Steve Miller Band many years ago . She more than held her own and knocked 'em dead . Good show Ms. Benatar . Here's to many more......

Wow. that sure seems backwards to me. I dig Steve Miller Band but what a downer after the energy of Pats music.

[Jérôme Frenchise]

Talking about singing in tune! And without loss on stage compared to her records. And how HOT...

Props to her, great lady!

I'm not sure that like for any woman reaching 60, it is exacly a happy B-day,
but let's wish it is: :birthday:

[philouze]

Can anyone reach Pat and make her see this thread???
Because there is Real Love & Respect here, and I'm sure she would be pleased. Pleased to know that she still makes 30-40+ yo dudes hard for her...
Pat, get over he'a..

[jhale667]

Even my 80's metal band with a chick singer that was better suited vocally to do Dio tunes did "Hell is for Children". Classic stuff.

Neil Geraldo (or whatever his name is, I'm plastered) rules.

She is just so classy. Never had to slut it up like Lita Ford, get all dark & scary like Joan Jett, or be a sell out like so many others. Just great rock music and a fabulous voice.....BAM! And she is the one left standing after 25 years. Much respect for her & all of her music.

[Kristy]

She's old and had a mouth full of teeth. She's the lost chipmunk - songs like one, too. Bland, corporate rock - the female Huey Lewis.

[philouze]

Yeah but she never got to play with Thin Lizzy, ba-bay.
Too bad, it would've been cool.. Phil & Pat... God I miss Mr Lynott...

I really liked Pat Benetar.

Liked the production, songwriting, vocals and instrumentation...she stood out and STILL stands out in a way that most of the girls who followed in her wake just don't.

I mean, I will say Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston had great voices, but their songs were just too much top-40 fluff for my tastes.

Like, how one goes from Pat Benetar to Taylor Swift and calls that progress...I mean, fuck me, you know?

Not everything of the late 1970s/early 1980s was worth being nostalgic over, but what Pat Benetar brought to the table certainly was.

[Pat B Lover]

S0 SEXY - you can say that 100 times .

Had a really great band and the songs on the first few albums were real good. Too bad the video of for shadows of the night kinda torpedoed the song .

[Kristy]

She's 60 now?

And here I thought many of you were relics.

[Satan]

So.... does that make her a GILF? http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/teufel/d065.gif

Yeah, that Shadows of the Night single was a pretty clear demarcation point for me. After that and Love Is A Battlefield, I sorta lost interest. Right around 1983 or so the synths and keyboards got more and more upfront in the sound, along with drum machines starting to creep in. The music began to sound overproduced. Still, what a great rock voice she had.
