Always loved this track - solo or legs - your call!

Just reminiscing and came across an old favourite.  Pat Benatar live - 'hit me with your best shot' - always liked the lead solo too.  And I used to have a real crush on her - incredible power voice, fab body and legs that went on forever!   And all from a girl who was 5' nothing.

I was a big Pat Benatar fan. Her and the music.

Yeah great solo... on the studio version.

Yeah, I like the studio solo too...not easy to play it live but a great well worked solo devised and played by Scott Sheet.

... so it was not played by her husband on the record?

Good question..she married Neil Giraldo (lucky bugger) in 1982, and this track was released in 1980 so I think Neil might have played guitar and did the lead on the studio version.  But to tell you the truth I don't know and I can't seem to find anything to clarify.

Used to play this in my last band. Tricky solo to pull off (*snigger*) live, especially if the band rush the song.

Neil Geraldo's tone iirc was often referred to as the "squealing pig"

I never liked her or the music personally. I remember thinking at the time that her hubby was a decent guitarist on the solos though.

I gig this fairly regularly,  I can't say the solo does a lot for me, apart from the ascending hammered run it always feel like a bunch of random licks joined together as noodling.   That is a cool run though.  
I always thought it was NG that played it too.

Yeah, I never particularly liked it. It doesn't fit under my fingers very well at all.
