Honk if you thought Pat Benatar was hot! She rocked a black pantsuit.

This is a Benatar appreciation/slobber thread.

The pantsuits, the high heels, the cheekbones, the eyeliner, Myron Grombacher...hey! How did HE get in this reminiscence?

Post 'em if you got 'em.

2. Hot? Like lava hot.

[Common Sense Party]

4. And she was uber-sexy and sultry WITHOUT sleazing it up like Britney

and Aguilera, etc.

She was just intrinsically HOT. And she had something else the autotuned Barbies today don't have--talent.

Man, what a voice.

[flvegan]

6. She didn't have to be.

Neither did Joan Jett, another hottie from the era. Both very, very talented.

[pokerfan]

9. Neither did Chrissie Hynde

Great, great song--not as well-known as her earlier stuff.

[General Zod]

21. You are correct, sir!

Awesome song!

[old mark]

10. You talk like she is gone away somewhere ; here's a link to her site,

(Note the prices-Pat is still packing them in and playing regularly.)

11. Saw her once, back in the 80s.

OMG, she tore the place UP. So nice to see someone in concert who can actually SING, high notes and all.

I used to be able to mimic every riff in all her songs, but I don't sing much anymore. Once in a while I'll fire up "Heartbreaker" and give it a go, but it's not the same. But I'll never stop loving Pat.

And her blues album--awesome.

[backwoodsbob]

12. saw her in a wierd lineup

Joan Jett opened for her.Wild concert

[Tom_Foolery]

13. AH-OOGA, AH-OOGA!!!

[driver8]

14. Oh, I'm honkin'!!

Pat Benatar was (is) smokin' hot!!!

[EvolveOrConvolve]

15. Benatar is still hot

But her hair? Not so much... It's just a fucking train wreck most of the time, and it always has been.

[Swede]

16. Here's My Heart- from the soundtrack of Metropolis

17. HONK HONK HONK

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. I think she's hotter now - without the shitty, ugly, fucking stupid 80s hair and garb.

She was definitely hot back then, but it was an ugly goddamn decade (especially for women) that took a lot of beautiful people and made them look nasty.

The 70s did it with the men, but the 80s did it with everyone - totally Reaganesque: everything plastic looking, fake, overdone, and ugly to the core.

[Bennyboy]

19. Her and Bob Weir had a thing going on during the 80's...

Which blew up at the US Festival..according to legend that is..

[Amerigo Vespucci]

20. Himmay wi ya bes shaaaaaaa

Couldn't stomach her then, really can't stomach her now. She sort of made my skin crawl.

Sorry...you asked!

:rofl:

:toast:

[carlyhippy]

22. I saw her in concert in the early 80's

I was amazed at how tiny she is, she might be near 5 ft tall with a big voice. Good concert!

[The Midway Rebel]

23. I prefer the black mini skirt look in this video.

You are a total pop music geek if you even know who Myron Grombacher is.

:yourock:

My drummer has his home phone number but I can't say how he got it. My drummer is an adult with mild autism. I had to explain to him how it would be very un-cool to actually call Myron even if you are a huge fan.

Her early stuff was really good IMHO. The latter made for MTV stuff...not so much.

I know one thing. When I saw this video, her husband/guitarist became big influence on my stage wear for years to come. Tight jeans, sleveless button-up shirt... I never did get a red Tele though.

24. Never did a thing for me

Musically, physically, nothing

25. Meow!

Plus, "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" is the theme music for Conecticut Public Television's broadcasts of the seven-time national champion UConn Huskies women's basketball team. Fire awa-a-ay!!! :loveya:

[RandomThoughts]

26. Yea that is a great song,

Love Pat Benatar,

And that is one of her best songs.


Also why I don't make promises, but as far as I am concerned anyone can come on in.
