Fun Fact: Ann & Nancy Wilson are sisters, they wrote this song as an angry response to their record label spreading false scandalous rumors about them, saying that Ann & Nancy were secretly lovers (which obviously wasn't true) just as a marketing ploy to increase album sales. This made the sisters so mad that they wrote this song to tell off, rebuke & reprimand these record label agents, calling them "barracudas" (a predator fish known for their deliberately cruel temperament & vicious behavior).
Absolutely right. Heard Ann talk about it in an interview. And hence lyrics such as this: No right, no wrong you're selling a song, a name Whisper game And if the real thing don't do the trick You better make up something quick I have so crushed on these two power musicians (in a healthy way) for the last 47 years or so.
I must add, I grew up in the 70's n 80's listening to all genres of music and became a dj mainly in hip hop n RnB....with all that being said, I must acknowledge that Anne Wilson has one of the most powerful and talented voices PERIOD!!! The high notes, her tone are so on point and she makes it all look effortless and fun. Easily one of my top ten vocalists ALL TIME in any genre of Muisc!!!!
Great to see your smiling face again. Dunno if you have reacted to Kennedy honors ..Heat covering Led Zepplins Stairway to heaven...really good...BTW ANN is in her 60s covering this and bring tears to the bands eyes.
They were one of the bands at my first concert: Cal Jam 2 - Mar. 1978. I was 15yrs9mos and was there for about 27 hours. My brother disappeared around noon and I had to hitch-hike home to San Berdoo after 1am; whenever Aerosmith finished. I stood at the tunnel going underneath the track and shouted "anyone going to San Berdoo?" Only had to do that twice and got a response. Luckily, it turned out they lived just a few blocks from me. Oh, and my older brother spent the day in the medical tent. He went to get us something to drink before Santana took the stage and he had an asthma attack when attempting to return to where I was; for people crowding to get closer to the stage. Eventually, they got him an ambulance to get him to a hospital. My mom got a call regarding him, but then learned I was at the concert alone. Good Times
Watching Heart from five feet away from the stage is an incredible experience. That's what I was blessed with as a high school kid in 1975 or '76. Back then, Nancy wasn't as prominent as she would become and Ann played flute as well as her amazing vocals. ♥
I was a six year old boy in 1979 when my older brother introduced me to Heart, and my life was forever changed. I fell in love with her just from hearing her voice. To this day, she is a goddess and force of nature who who put her boot straight through the door for all female rock and metal vocalists who followed her. I feel her voice in my soul. It was great seeing you feel it as well. Thanks for this.
Hi Aileen, great to be a new subscriber to your channel. Yeah, these Wilson sisters were and still are bad ass. I was a senior in high school when this song came out and I had just bought a 1969 Barracuda. I heard this song when I was leaving school driving to Connecticut to work. WTF, when I heard this song the first time. I locked the brakes up and skidded off the road before I ended up killing myself in that car. I shut it down and just listened. Oh my God how crazy is this. I was always a huge Heart fan. Anne stuttered when she was growing up as an Army brat.Their dad was very musically inclined and music was a centerpiece in their lives growing up. When their boyfriends were drafted to go the Vietnam War they left Seattle and moved to Vancouver to avoid going to Vietnam. Nancy was first to join a band with the Fisher boys. That's when Anne came aboard and the rest is history. Anne wrote this song in about 15 minutes after some record producer from Mushroom records claimed that Anne and Nancy were having a incestuous relationship. She was pissed. That's when she went back to the hotel room and wrote this song. Barracuda are notorious for being ambush predators and they strike very hard and fast. That's what Anne likened the record company to. A freaking nasty bunch of predatory people. Got my attention and those girls always will.
A barracuda is a predatory saltwater fish that stalks rather than hunts. They're incredibly fast, powerful and nasty fighters. Ann and Nancy Wilson wrote this song about one of their promoters that wanted to portray them as incestuous polyamorous lesbians, to basically refer to the promoter as a nasty, slimy, stalking predator. Also, Sisters harmonizing. No autotune, just incredible talent and Ann Wilson is still killing it in her 70s, she recently covered Layne Staley’s vocals on "Rooster" with Alice In Chains.
Funny you should mention Ann's confidence on stage. She's suffered from near crippling stage fright most of her life. She's done a great job managing it. Having Nancy there to check in with and help keep her from spiraling has been key
Before you are finished with the music of Heart you must check out their cover of Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore"! You will see a side of Ann and Nancy that you rarely see anywhere else!!
I’ve been a fan of Heart my whole life and it’s great to see people discover and enjoy their music. But…. nobody seems to find “Tell it like it Is”. Check out the studio version for the most impressive vocals from Ann in any song. “Tell it like it Is” - it is jaw dropping!
The Female Monsters of Rock! The two wemon have always been a driving force in Rock n Roll! Luv Anne's Powerful voice and Nancy is the boss on the guitar!! 🎸 Thanks for sharing Aileen ❤️💛
the wilson sisters are so phenomenal. the song is iconic. so is their "alone", the great floor jansen coverd that one. the wilsons paved the way for women in rock. speaking of female power in rock/metal: if you ever decide to react to these phenomenal fantastic all female metal bands from japan, I´d suggest "lovebites - holy war live" and "hanabie - we love sweets". thank you for your great genuine reactions.
This was one of the hardest rocking songs of my teenage years. Heart was a staple of the charts and delivered song after inspiring song for years. Great musicians. Nice reaction, Senpai!
I've been loving Ann Wilson since 1970s - she's recently climbed up my greatest rock singers of all time list - to sharing my number one spot with Robert Plant! If I broaden that category to pop music of the last 100 years - she's in my top five for sure - but, I put another woman ahead of her: check out the amazing Ella Fitzgerald, who is currently my favorite singer of all time in any genre.
If you want to see Nancy in action, find the live cut of "Crazy on You" and make sure you get the long version with the full guitar intro. You get to see Nancy shred the acoustic with an awesome guitar solo intro and then, of course, you get the full song "Crazy on you" following... definitely a great way to see Nancy in command...
My friend Alyssa so long ago said that she shared music with strangers because it made everyone feel less alone. We used to hang out in a crappy little karaoke bar on the wrong side of nowhere. But music made the difference. I'll never forget her kindness and I revisit that with these videos. I may never know you in person, but I share a joy with you. And I thank you.
Funny how you talk about her confidence on stage, because even though she puts out the vibe that she is confident, Ann actually at times suffered from crippling stage fright. Nancy has talked about times where she had to walk up to Ann and get practically nose to nose with her to snap her out of it mid-concert. I guess she learned to recognize the signs so she could snap Ann out of it before it became obvious to the audience.
Yet another fine reaction. You might want to listen to "Don't Tell Me," a duet with Ann Wilson and David Draiman of Disturbed. At 73 years old, she may not have the register she had on earlier hits but her voice still cuts through beautifully.
August 1st 2024...Heart, right here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I got my tickets IMMEDIATELY! Looking forward to that show, Cheap Trick will be opening up. Ann recently did a duet with David Draiman(Disturbed) "Don't Tell Me". GREAT song. At 73 years old(she'll be 74 by the time I see the show), she's still got the pipes! 🤘🤘🤘
How have you never heard this before? It's legendary! 73 and 70 and still rocking out! That was top of the pops and the show forced them to lip-sync just like they did queen. Nancy doesnt get enough credit. Her guitar playing is out of this world and her voice is just as good as Anne's! My husband was in a band and they played this song a lot and it's very hard to play and sing.
I agree. Nancy doesn't get enough credit when her talent is just crazy. She sings some of their songs and flawlessly. Yah Top of the pops was a big thing back then and Freddy Mercury was ANGRY that they made them lip-sync
Yes ,Heart has a bunch of cool tunes . If you want other female singers , nobody knows of Candy Givins from the band ZEPHYR , with an 18 year old Tommy Bolin on guitar , I can't wait until you check out Hard Charging Woman !
I saw them 47 years ago on their "Little Queen" tour. It was August 16th 1977, the day Elvis died. We found out while waiting outside to go in the arena. Somebody had transistor radio, pre internet days. To close out their set they did Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" and dedicated it to the King. Another great song from that night is "Crazy on You", with Nancy's amazing guitar intro, here's one from around the same time. ua-cam.com/video/qVcl0Iw3fs8/v-deo.htmlsi=9sCXZHVh6pqrsbEG
These ladies are still out there kicking a** - they're doing a festival this summer sandwiched between Mr. Bungle and Tool! 😂 Everybody will have their suggestions, but I will always advocate for the stuff more off the beaten path-try "Mistral Wind" live from the Greatest Hits/Live album (the one with Ann wearing a striped jacket on the cover) "Bad Animals" "The Night", "Black On Black II" and their song with Layne Staley "Ring Them Bells".
The Wilson sisters was my first love, lol. I had heard Alice Cooper (live) and heard some Jethro Tull by the time I was 4 or 5. After that it was these ladies & KISS. Until Van Halen changed the game with Boston, Lynyrd Skynyrd was about all I had heard by 10 or 11. I didn't really get into Zeppelin until college, but I sure found why I loved Heart so much after that. They had their MTV poppy era, but they were always fantastic. Today I enjoy an eclectic music collection and love for great music thanks to these two ladies right here. Rush really helped and Pink Floyd after that. I lived through the "golden age" of music IMO. Journey, The Police, ZZ Top, Yes, REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Missing Persons, Billy Squier, Skid Row, Guns & Roses, CheVelle, The Cult, The Eagles, The Cure, Metallica all and many more I got to see live & in their prime.
Yeah, Nancy Wilson was also sick during the recording for ‘These Dreams’, which gave her voice that raspy / gravelly sound that’s different from her normal vocals. Side note: Originally, Stevie Nicks was offered ‘These Dreams’ but expressed that she wasn’t interested in recording it.
Probably one of my favourite songs of all time every time it used to come on the radio I would literally stop doing whatever I was doing. Tell everybody to shut up and crank the volume. It’s such a great song and her vocals are Mad good!
I agree that "Magic Man," if you've not done it before, should be next. Other songs might be "Dog and Butterfly," "Alone" (to throw a power ballad in), and maybe "Straight On."
They always have managed to transform their music through the decades and stay true. They've never lost their identity and stayed nevertheless successful. Great band ❤️
Whoa, I'm looking at the LP cover of the LP this song was on "Little Queen"..And doggone, I see at least 5 of 'em wearing the same outfits as the photo shot! 6:31-Boy that drummer had a big sound..Note he's got a kettle drum as a lead tom to kick of his fills with. Still an azz-kicker of a song today, I knew you'd enjoy it!
Love this song Ann Wilson is a incredible performer Crazy on You is another one that I like but my all time favorite is Magic Man the guitar work in that song is awesome her sister is equally talented as well
Both Ann and Nancy are talented! My favorite song is Crazy on You, but you can pretty much pick anything they have done. Nancy is a great singer also as heard in their son These Dreams, she actually recoded this when under the weather. Also a great song where you can see both their talent is Live in Seattle and the song Dog and the Butterfly, just tow beautiful talented women, their voices, and 2 guitars!
I appreciate your love of Heart. When I was in the Marines the sisters and their band were always wanted. That was in the 70s with the grunts and we loved pure talent and beauty. Thanks for the memories. Semper Fi from the old days and your response is perfect. Thank you.
Here on UA-cam their is a reviewer that goes by The Charismatic Voice she's an opera singer and voice coach who mentions how much control Ann has. Ann has/d a sweet higher voice but uses her diaphram as a resonance chamber then listening and analizing her consenant and vowel sentence structure with her control of her throat and tongue she not only controls her pitch she can belt out without have to scream using mostly her throat. And she might have something .I've seen Heart in concert and Ann kept her strength and range from start to finish where when I saw Aerosmith in concert Steven Tyler was pretty raspy towards the end.
Great reaction , I've been playing guitar since i was 15 and almost 37 , and was listening to Heart from my dads old vinyls and Magic Man at the age of I think 9 until today still takes me on a Journey. God I love Heart. Glad you loved it too!! Check out Magic Man if you haven't already.
Ann Wilson is hands down the best female rock voice of all time. Heart is amazing live, too. If you ever get the chance to see them live, do it. I saw them live in 2017, I believe, and she sounded just as incredible live as a woman in her late 60s (67) at that time as she sounded in her 30s. Absolutely incredible.
You should react to the cover of this from the band PLUSH! I saw them in Kansas City with falling in reverse and disturbed and they were awesome and executed this song to perfection 🤘🔥❤️
I just found out about you because I love watching videos of younger generation (whose lives have been shaped by the deterioration of music for last 15 years or so ) listening to classics of the past and loving the discoveries of 60s,70s, 80s, etc.etc. that laid the groundwork WITHOUT the technology of today. You're really sold on Ann Wilson but one of Heart's biggest hits was with Nancy Wilson singing lead (and she had sore throat when recording the hit ) on "These Dreams" . You don't have to have 1st reaction video to it , but at least maybe listen to it just before bedding down for the night , because it will treat you to a song you never thought Heart could capture you with , but will.
I saw these lovely ladies in concert in 1982 (I was 20 at the time). I managed to squeeze myself up to the front of the stage, was only 10 feet from them (back then you could get really close) and on the side of the stage where Nancy was. I'm 6'2" so I was a bit more noticeable in the crowd. While Nancy was playing I managed to wave at her....she smiled and kissed at me! I've been in love with her ever since. Just don't tell my wife. LOL!!
Welcome back! So wonderful to see your beautiful self back making reactions. You have no idea how much your vulnerability and musical knowledge fills my loving cup and makes my soul happy!
Great reaction. If you love Heart you should check out The Warning. Three sisters doing modern rock with a classic/80s rock vibe and fantastic harmonies. Start with "Evolve" from the 2023 MTV VMAs or "Hell You Call a Dream" from the Pepsi Center CDMX and then others will give you a roadmap to really dig into the band.
No one could, can or ever will have her combination of range, power, vibrato, dynamics, phrasing, and then can go from nuclear powerful to satin sheets soft. Absolutely AMAZING!
You say you're obsessed. I'm thinking, "YES!! That's it exactly! That voice, that voice... Damn!" I've always loved that powerful voice of hers. & the rest of the music is great, too! I was lucky enough to see them in concert about twenty years agoin sw Washington & loved 'em.
Fun Fact: Ann & Nancy Wilson are sisters, they wrote this song as an angry response to their record label spreading false scandalous rumors about them, saying that Ann & Nancy were secretly lovers (which obviously wasn't true) just as a marketing ploy to increase album sales. This made the sisters so mad that they wrote this song to tell off, rebuke & reprimand these record label agents, calling them "barracudas" (a predator fish known for their deliberately cruel temperament & vicious behavior).
That just made this song so much better!
Ann Wilson doesn't take shit from anybody. This song is metal af
Absolutely right. Heard Ann talk about it in an interview. And hence lyrics such as this:
No right, no wrong you're selling a song, a name
Whisper game
And if the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
I have so crushed on these two power musicians (in a healthy way) for the last 47 years or so.
Ann & Nancy ft. Linkin Park have muss to See. Performing Castle of Glass. It is Magic
its a fuqed up fact, mushroom records did'nt last long after that
Ann and Nancy! STILL rockin' it today!! 70s forever!!
Ann Wilson is simply one of the greatest female rock voices ever. You called it, GOLD!!
Greatest rock voices, period.
@@lucash8234 Exactly.
I wanted to say that as well; no need to add "female" to that statement. Ann Wilson is one of the greatest to ever do it, male or female.
@@llongone2 Can't disagree with ya there!
I must add, I grew up in the 70's n 80's listening to all genres of music and became a dj mainly in hip hop n RnB....with all that being said, I must acknowledge that Anne Wilson has one of the most powerful and talented voices PERIOD!!! The high notes, her tone are so on point and she makes it all look effortless and fun. Easily one of my top ten vocalists ALL TIME in any genre of Muisc!!!!
Heart is one of the best things to ever come out of Seattle. Thanks for sharing this one! 🙂
Great to see your smiling face again. Dunno if you have reacted to Kennedy honors ..Heat covering Led Zepplins Stairway to heaven...really good...BTW ANN is in her 60s covering this and bring tears to the bands eyes.
These two women were meant to be super stars. Anns voice gives me goosebumps. These two women together were lethal. ❤
Magic man, straight on and Crazy on You (studio version) are powerful examples of how badass they are. Keep ‘em coming lady! ❤️🔥🤘🏾
Crazy on you Midnight Special 1977 or 1978 live with the latex/vinyl pants.
Crazy on you fantastic
The Midnight Special live version from 1977 is epic ua-cam.com/video/XKJbyK4NTek/v-deo.html
Ann is the only human that can sing crazy on you nobody else is capable
They were one of the bands at my first concert: Cal Jam 2 - Mar. 1978. I was 15yrs9mos and was there for about 27 hours. My brother disappeared around noon and I had to hitch-hike home to San Berdoo after 1am; whenever Aerosmith finished. I stood at the tunnel going underneath the track and shouted "anyone going to San Berdoo?" Only had to do that twice and got a response. Luckily, it turned out they lived just a few blocks from me. Oh, and my older brother spent the day in the medical tent. He went to get us something to drink before Santana took the stage and he had an asthma attack when attempting to return to where I was; for people crowding to get closer to the stage. Eventually, they got him an ambulance to get him to a hospital. My mom got a call regarding him, but then learned I was at the concert alone. Good Times
We slept in our bug on the freeway the night before! Still have my ticket stub… $12.50 what a day.
Best female rock voice/singer to ever grace us. True Rock goddess.
Watching Heart from five feet away from the stage is an incredible experience. That's what I was blessed with as a high school kid in 1975 or '76. Back then, Nancy wasn't as prominent as she would become and Ann played flute as well as her amazing vocals. ♥
Heart isn't only a great band by itself. They are also the greatest Led Zep cover band ever.
@@AlexSpike-iy8yl We always called them Zep with breasts... 😆
I was a six year old boy in 1979 when my older brother introduced me to Heart, and my life was forever changed. I fell in love with her just from hearing her voice.

Totally!

Heart is incredible and can just rock out and turn around and do a mellow song they are an amazing band!! 🎸🥰
And is featured on Disturbed's Don't Tell Me. Kills it
They did the same thing to Tegan and Sara many years later. Canada has weird shit going on involving young women dude
thank you for copying and pasting
Also an awesome car in the 70's too

One of the greatest rock vocalists ever.
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST opening guitar riff EVER!
Simply a legendary hard rock track. Ann has the whole arsenal. Feminine, tough, and always authentic.
Damn right. I am a sucker for bad ass women in rock and metal bands and Ann Wilson is the reason why. She set a standard for me
This was one of the hardest rocking songs of my teenage years. Heart was a staple of the charts and delivered song after inspiring song for years. Great musicians. Nice reaction, Senpai!

One of my favorite experiences. I was floored by them in like 2007.
Ann and Nancy Wilson were/are and will always be an unstoppable rock and roll force of nature.
have you seen their tribiute to Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center Honors? Ann was, i believe, 61 at the time and killed it!

"Little Queen" album is fantastic to listen to late at night and chill.
I listened to it allot in the 70s. Whole album is top notch
You're makin' awesome material here. Keep it up
August 1st 2024...Heart, right here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I got my tickets IMMEDIATELY! Looking forward to that show, Cheap Trick will be opening up. Ann recently did a duet with David Draiman(Disturbed) "Don't Tell Me". GREAT song. At 73 years old(she'll be 74 by the time I see the show), she's still got the pipes! 🤘🤘🤘
You MUST check out their song "Straight On" i promise you'll LOVE it
That instantly-recognizable guitar riff, always gets my pulse racing, and sets up Ann's power vocals perfectly!
How have you never heard this before? It's legendary! 73 and 70 and still rocking out! That was top of the pops and the show forced them to lip-sync just like they did queen. Nancy doesnt get enough credit. Her guitar playing is out of this world and her voice is just as good as Anne's!

Heart and Foreigner were two 70's bands that translated really well over to the 80's because both bands 80's tunes were certified bangers
Had front row seats and saw them in concert what a great performance
If you want to hear Nancy's beautiful voice, listen to These Dreams. Ann is without a doubt one of the greatest voices in Rock history
Also, when they cover Led Zepplin’s “Battle of Evermore”
It’s weird. Nancy sings and plays mandolin. Ann sings and plays guitar. I really like it.
Yeah, Nancy Wilson was also sick during the recording for ‘These Dreams’, which gave her voice that raspy / gravelly sound that’s different from her normal vocals.
Side note: Originally, Stevie Nicks was offered ‘These Dreams’ but expressed that she wasn’t interested in recording it.

Heart are timeless. One of the great seattle bands.
Absolute legends, and this was a live performance.

honestly her little dances and stoicness blow my mind
The sisters are just stunning . . .
They always have managed to transform their music through the decades and stay true. They've never lost their identity and stayed nevertheless successful.
Great band ❤️
Decades, bro...not centuries. They aint that old!
So many Great songs
Bebe La Strange , Straight on , Magic Man . Alone + These Dreams (80's)
Barracuda was my intro to "The Wilson Sisters" back in the Golden age of the 70s.
Whoa, I'm looking at the LP cover of the LP this song was on "Little Queen"..And doggone, I see at least 5 of 'em wearing the same outfits as the photo shot! 6:31-Boy that drummer had a big sound..Note he's got a kettle drum as a lead tom to kick of his fills with. Still an azz-kicker of a song today, I knew you'd enjoy it!
Love this song Ann Wilson is a incredible performer Crazy on You is another one that I like but my all time favorite is Magic Man the guitar work in that song is awesome her sister is equally talented as well
Both Ann and Nancy are talented! My favorite song is Crazy on You, but you can pretty much pick anything they have done. Nancy is a great singer also as heard in their son These Dreams, she actually recoded this when under the weather. Also a great song where you can see both their talent is Live in Seattle and the song Dog and the Butterfly, just tow beautiful talented women, their voices, and 2 guitars!
My fav Heart song. The distinct singing and the instrumentals if fabulous. Your spot on reaction is perfectly detailed. Thank you.
I appreciate your love of Heart. When I was in the Marines the sisters and their band were always wanted.
That was in the 70s with the grunts and we loved pure talent and beauty.
Thanks for the memories.
Semper Fi from the old days and your response is perfect.
Thank you.
Glad your back you need to watch Heart live in Seattle These Dreams Nancy can sing herself you will like it
Here on UA-cam their is a reviewer that goes by The Charismatic Voice she's an opera singer and voice coach who mentions how much control Ann has. Ann has/d a sweet higher voice but uses her diaphram as a resonance chamber then listening and analizing her consenant and vowel sentence structure with her control of her throat and tongue she not only controls her pitch she can belt out without have to scream using mostly her throat. And she might have something .I've seen Heart in concert and Ann kept her strength and range from start to finish where when I saw Aerosmith in concert Steven Tyler was pretty raspy towards the end.
They’re all legends, Ann is somehow even beyond that
She's back and just delivering smash hit after smash hit 👊❤
Great reaction , I've been playing guitar since i was 15 and almost 37 , and was listening to Heart from my dads old vinyls and Magic Man at the age of I think 9 until today still takes me on a Journey. God I love Heart. Glad you loved it too!! Check out Magic Man if you haven't already.
You're the best Aileen! If ya'll ain't coming to her Twitch streams you are really missing out.
Love ya, Jordan ❤️❤️
"Dog And Butterfly" and "Dreamboat Annie" are on the lighter side of Heart but well worth a listen.
100%
The Wilson Sisters = 🔥🔥🌹🌹
ICONS, goosebumps every time
Ann Wilson has an unbelievable voice!! 1 of a kind for sure!!
Check out Ann Wilson ( the brunette ) with Disturbed and their song "Don't Tell Me". Interesting duet.
Ann Wilson is hands down the best female rock voice of all time. Heart is amazing live, too. If you ever get the chance to see them live, do it. I saw them live in 2017, I believe, and she sounded just as incredible live as a woman in her late 60s (67) at that time as she sounded in her 30s. Absolutely incredible.
The golden era of hard rock. Thank you ❤
You should react to the cover of this from the band PLUSH! I saw them in Kansas City with falling in reverse and disturbed and they were awesome and executed this song to perfection 🤘🔥❤️
I just found out about you because I love watching videos of younger generation (whose lives have been shaped by the deterioration of music for last 15 years or so ) listening to classics of the past and loving the discoveries of 60s,70s, 80s, etc.etc. that laid the groundwork WITHOUT the technology of today. You're really sold on Ann Wilson but one of Heart's biggest hits was with Nancy Wilson singing lead (and she had sore throat when recording the hit ) on "These Dreams" . You don't have to have 1st reaction video to it , but at least maybe listen to it just before bedding down for the night , because it will treat you to a song you never thought Heart could capture you with , but will.
Check out "Alone" if you haven't already. One of Anne's most powerful vocals.
Yes it was..
Ann could sing the phone book. What a powerhouse
I saw these lovely ladies in concert in 1982 (I was 20 at the time). I managed to squeeze myself up to the front of the stage, was only 10 feet from them (back then you could get really close) and on the side of the stage where Nancy was. I'm 6'2" so I was a bit more noticeable in the crowd. While Nancy was playing I managed to wave at her....she smiled and kissed at me! I've been in love with her ever since. Just don't tell my wife. LOL!!
Welcome back! So wonderful to see your beautiful self back making reactions. You have no idea how much your vulnerability and musical knowledge fills my loving cup and makes my soul happy!
Great reaction. If you love Heart you should check out The Warning. Three sisters doing modern rock with a classic/80s rock vibe and fantastic harmonies. Start with "Evolve" from the 2023 MTV VMAs or "Hell You Call a Dream" from the Pepsi Center CDMX and then others will give you a roadmap to really dig into the band.
Love your energy and your passion doing your reviews.
One of their very best bangers, to hear another, try Black On Black II, it is another full tilt Rocker that I know you will love. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶
No one could, can or ever will have her combination of range, power, vibrato, dynamics, phrasing, and then can go from nuclear powerful to satin sheets soft. Absolutely AMAZING!
I remember this song when I was 13 years old. Her vocals are just awesome
Heart is amazing. You should check out Don't Tell Me from Disturbed featuring Ann Wilson. She's still rocking it.
I was shocked that this was a female fronted band the first time I heard this song and have loved this song ever since❤
I love seeing how excited you got by this song! This song is AMAZING!
The best singer ..period...in rock music
You say you're obsessed. I'm thinking, "YES!! That's it exactly! That voice, that voice... Damn!" I've always loved that powerful voice of hers. & the rest of the music is great, too!
I was lucky enough to see them in concert about twenty years agoin sw Washington & loved 'em.
I really enjoy your videos glad your generation can enjoy great rock music from back in the day when rock n roll ruled
Check out the song" Kick it out"with the foo fighters. On David letterman. Rocks.
I like how you get into the music /heart right on heart is magic !
FYI - Heart will be on tour in the USA in April to May 2024... it will be Ann Wilson & Nancy Wilson only from the original band w/ session players.
Hey Aileen. Glad ur doing well. ❤
You should check out Strife by Trivium. 🤘
The live sound that goes with this instead of the studio dubbing is sweet as well.
