    "Hell Is For Children" is another ESSENTIAL Pat Benatar song!!!

      Good song, but I've always wondered who was the genius that decided it was a good idea to follow "Hell Is for Children" with "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" when they were finalizing track listings for "Crimes of Passion." Somebody didn't think that one through. Although technically the songs addressed different subject matter, it wasn't a good look.

      @@MarkMay-cr6bv Even though the subject matter may have been a bit different, it makes total sense to follow Hell is for Children. It's about getting back up from the worst that life can throw at you, and child abuse is one of the worst things that can happen to a person. Being able to overcome that and thrive in life is a great follow up to such a horrible subject.

    “Heartbreaker”
    “Hell Is for Children”
    “Love Is A Battlefield”
    “If You Think You Know How to Love Me”
    “You Better Run”
    “Don’t Let It Show”
    “I’m Gonna Follow You”
    “Fire and Ice”
    “Shadows of the Night”
    “Painted Desert”
    “Precious Time”
    “We Belong Together”
    “Treat Me Right”
    “Invincible”

      Kinda frustrating she doesn't perform this live any longer. Growing up (I'm 55), I never associated this song with guns or violence of any sort. (is it not obvious it's about a painful breakup?) I just knew it as a banger of a tune that highlighted Pat's killer range and Neil's ability to shred. Nothing more. (I'm rational enough to believe Pat never intended this song to be related to gun violence either.)

    - "Invincible" (1985) is a deep cut from a movie release.
    - "We Belong" (1984) features Pat backed by a children's chorus.
    - "Heartbreaker" (1979) The first time I heard this song it was used in a girl's pom pom routine in high school.
    - "Love Is A Battlefield" (1983) Evicted from her home, girl goes out to search for a new life. To me this like the other alone in the streets song "Never Surrender" by Corey Hart.
    I last saw Pat Benatar at Summerfest, a music event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This coming days at the start of August at the Wisconsin State Fair I expect to be entertained by local bands and the cover songs they play.

    Pat always gets props as one of the best female rockers but I think she's just a great rock artist full stop. Some of the best rock vocals ever with a great guitarist and great drummer. Neil Giraldo( her guitarist/ husband) and Myron Grombacher (drummer) are both great rockers that both played with Rick Derringer previously. The band you just watched can kick out some rock and roll.
    Heartbreaker, You Better Run, Fire and Ice, Precious Time, All Fired Up, Hell is For Children, Shadows of The Night, We Live for Live and Everbody Lay Down are all great rock songs, and she has a buch of others that are radio friendly too, even if they aren't classic rock bangers. She even did an old blues/swing album. Bloodshot eyes was the best on that one for mer. Enjoy this catalogue its deep.

    She could have been an opera singer but she loved rock. One of the first rappers. Little woman with a powerful voice.

    Equal admiration for her voice and respect for what she accomplished, one of a handful of women pushing women to the front of Rock. An amazing talent that never took "No" for an answer, did things her way and rocked so many. She was badass without even trying.

    Saw her at the Stark County Fair in Ohio back in the early 2000's

    This is how we did it in the 80s! Live voice, live band, pure talent!

    The Velvet Whip strikes again. This is from her 1982 concert in New Haven Connecticut. This was an encore performance.
