Ann holds her own in the rock world. To me, not only the best female rock singer of all time, but also one of the very best voices period. Crazy On You, Dog and Butterfly, Dreamboat Annie, Magic Man....of course Barracuda. I saw Heart 40 years ago in concert, Ann can caress your ears with her voice then rip them off. Anyway, you two make an old person feel proud of our era.
Ann Wilson is the BEST female vocalist in rock history!! Isn’t it amazing how Ann’s voice hasn’t changed? This song is about a man who is bad in every way!
Her voice is so pure, but I’m pretty sure even Ann would say Janis Joplin was the best female Rock vocalist of all time, and from Janis’ voice was spawned the greatest Rock and Blues vocalist ever, the Golden God, Robert Plant.
LZ was actually Heart’s inspiration and patterned their sound after them. Ann Wilson definitely was emulating Robert Plant’s vocal style, and the guitar riff is pretty much the bass line in “Achilles Last Stand”. Try that one next. Fair warning: it’s ten minutes long!!
I saw Heart open for The Who in 1980 at the CNE Stadium in Toronto, Ontario. There were about 78,000 people there. Heart totally blew my mind the way the Wilson sisters just rocked the place.
This was like...35 years years before the Kennedy performance. Ann was 64 I believe at Kennedy. Heart was HUGE in late seventies....I wore out a couple of their cassettes in the car. Many hits. The Wilson sisters LOVED Zeppelin, and Jimmy, after hearing them do a Zeppelin cover in concert, gave them his blessing to cover whatever Zeppelin song they wanted because Ann could NAIL it. They often ended their concerts with a couple of Zeppelin covers. You should listen to their cover of Battle of Evermore. It’s fantastic and it’s available on CZcams. Here is a link to this amazing czcams.com/video/wShmbjqP3WU/video.html Barracuda was written about the music industry....a man trying to take advantage of a woman in order to further her career. A barracuda was a predator. Rock was a very hard genre for women back in the day. MORE HEART....you will love them....I second the request for Heart’s song Crazy On You next.
Welcome aboard, youngsters! Congrats, on discovering the greatest female Rock n' Roll band of all time! The lead singer, Ann Wilson could never be matched, she has so much range and power.
(9:23) I think the guitar sound that Juliet is describing is called hitting the harmonics. It is created by lightly touching the strings with your fretting hand and strumming with your other hand. Guitar harmonics can be heard clearly on "Roundabout" by Yes (1971). I'd like to see your reaction to this song.
I love the sincerity of your reactions. Some reactors just seem to go through the motions, but you two appear genuinely moved by hearing the music I grew up with and it's like I'm rediscovering it through your ears. Always a joy. "Mistral Wind" and "Alone" live. And "Crazy on You" live with the extended acoustic guitar intro. I've seen Heart a dozen times over the years and there is still nothing that hits me quite like Ann's voice. And every time I see them I am reminded of something else I stole from Nancy's guitar playing. I even stole her birthday, haha! Cheers, y'all!
You can't beat those sibling harmonies. It's like, on one hand you have one of the greatest lead singers in the history of rock music, and then her sister pops in and harmonizes with her? Nancy is Heart's secret weapon.
Heart has SO MANY amazing songs! My favorites are Allies and Kick It Out, but there are tons. Ann and Nancy are phenomenal. I saw a documentary where they talked about this song. It was aimed at a rock journalist who wrote an article that implied that the sisters were actually in a romantic relationship with each other. That is where the line "if the real thing don't do the trick , you better make up something quick" came from. He made up that story just to sell more magazines. Clearly it made them mad...and it made them money, because the song was so good!
The beat, and I mean the drums AND guitar and base as well which are extremely rhythmic, and the spacious, crystal clear, wispy vocals are what makes this tune so outstanding.
Many of us are commenting because we like the fact you see how great some of these bands are. Heart was huge when I was in high school. Half the senior girls wore Heart t shirts. Great voices, awesome musicians, great lyrics.
Now you know why these ladies were my hero's, still are! Ann's voice and writing skills and Nancy is considered one of the best female guitarists ever. Love your Zep shirts! Crazy on You has to be next, you'll see Nancy blow your mind with the opening guitar work. Thank you again!
I have had a crush on the wilson sisters since the 80s. Ann and nancy are a national treasure. This song has it all, great lyrics sung amazingly, awesome drums, tasty guitar solo and riff. Ann is like a female robert plant, similar style and sound. Heart has plenty of other great songs too. All around great band, they earned the hall of fame.
Heart are big Led Zep fans. You can hear the influence in their music. The drummer of Heart has the same 5 piece and 2 tympani drums as John Bonham used to play. I saw them live 5 or 6 times and they play a few Zep tunes in the encore. One thing about every time I saw them is Ann's voice steals the show. Sooooo Powerful! Keep up the good work girls. Lots of great music out there. Love watching you two react and enjoy the music I grew up on. ROCK ON!!!
Heart was and still is amazing.....Stay with them and do more.40 years of hits.Great review by you two.Nancy was a top notch singer,too,so try some of hers.
Heart are two sisters from Seattle area. Ann sings and writes and Nance sings back up and plays guitar and writes. Ann's voice is the best female rock voice of all time. Magic Man, Crazy on You, Dog and Butterfly and so many others are great songs. Great reaction, Chris
OMG! Dog&Butterfly! I'm using other half tablet. I'm a Proud Army Brat! My home of record is Washington State. I'm fortunate to have my best friend my sister travel every time we moved. We both LOVE Heart. Dog and Butterfly special meaning to us. We also served Proudly in the Army. Military life takes you all over the World. Washington and Heart has a special meaning for me. Thanks for listening. JoAnn Sigby
SUCH a great iconic classic tune, one of if not THE best hit from heart. This song was written about their manager in cahoots with the record label, they did a bunch of stuff to screw the Wilson sisters over...including fabricating a story of them being sexually involved with each other. A Barracuda is a mean predatory fish, very sleek and fast. Pretty sick stuff just to make an extra buck. Despite all that this tune is so awesome, the galloping riff being very addictive and as a drummer it's one of the most fun songs to play! Ann's voice is one of the best in the business, she's got some pipes!! If you ever see the movie Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Nancy Wilson appears in a cameo during one scene. Great reaction...you two are having WAAYYY too much fun!!
If you really want Ann and Nancy to knock your socks off with their voices, I'd recommend "Alone." If you're curious what Nancy sounds like as the lead singer, listen to "These Dreams."
Why isn't anyone mentioning Heart's "Alone" where Ann invented/created the join between the guitar solo and the final verse with a perfectly controlled rock'n'roll scream???
The number of truly iconic female rock vocalists can be counted on one hand. In no particular order Ann Wilson Pat Benetar Linda Ronstadt Joan Jett Christie Hynde All others take a back seat
Great job girls , I'm so proud of you fir your reactions. I was fortunate to have seen heart live.bthey are considered one of the best female groups of all time.... keep up the great work girls. ...your friend... James Zrenjad Desjardins ❤
I had a 68 Plymouth Barracuda would a 318 wedge V8 that thing would lay rubber as long as you had your foot on the accelerator it would just smoke them. Great reaction thanks girls
You two Sweeties give me hope for the future! You both have a wonderful, fun spirit and provide intelligent criticism and reactions. I enjoy your videos and seeing your reactions. Very entertaining! Thanks! 👏🏻🎸😎
There a several epic femal voices from this time in rock, Nancy Wilson, Stevie Nicks, Grace Jones are some of the best ever! Glad your discovering classic rock!
Up there with "If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now." (From "Stairway...") for being ambiguous must be "Sell me sell you, the Porpoise said." from THIS gem.
This was one of the most, outstanding, solid bands of the day. "Yes" to all the things you say,re: Ann's voice and vocal abilities [Nancy has done a few lead vocal turns in her time, as well. The '80s "comeback Heart" (a different band line-up ...although not entirely. Nancy, Ann and Howard Leese are, still, in the band, and Howard has taken over as the main/lead guitarist (from Roger Fisher, who you experienced, here)) song "These Dreams" has a lead vocal from Nancy (most famously). Her first solo album: Live At McCabe's is well-worth searching out (I don't know how "findable" it is, these days, but: it is killer and it is in consistent rotation on ...whatever I have to play music on at any, given time. 😋🤘🤘), also! ...One thing you, definitely, need to pay attention to with Heart ['70s HEART] is: Michael DeRosier. That's the drummer. He never got the full respect he deserved. He is SO in-the-pocket and on top of every groove !!!! His fills are SPECTACULAR!!!!!! [I think that: Clem Burke (from: Blondie), Michael DeRosier and Albert Bouchard (formerly of: Blue Öyster Cult 🤘🤘) are three of the best and, also, most under-appreciated drummers in rock history. [Clem, I would argue, is, the most versatile and, possibly, the most skilled ...but ...Such things are impossible to "prove," outright. ...Just saying! 😜😜🤘🤘 😁😁]-] ...Some of DeRosier's best fills and parts are in classic Heart sings, too. "Barracuda" is GREAT; don't get me WRONG!; but go listen to him in: "Crazy On You" ...and "Magic Man" ...f'in spec-f'in'-tacu-LICIOUS! (If I recall correctly, he "does some shiznit" in: "Sing Child" and "Devil Delight" also -but even if I'm "misremembering" a little: those songs kick ass, anyway. You will want to hear them [I guess those would fall under "deep cuts," nowadays, I suppose. ...Doesn't matter: They are fabulous. 🤘🤘 💜🧡]) -If you, really, want to hear HEART at their "top echelon" go listen to "Mistral Wind" and, also, "Nada One" (from the Dog & Butterfly album). High-level stuff. ["Straight On", "Hijinx" and the opening cut "Cook With Fire" are the 'big songs' on that one ...and they are sweet ...but "Mistral Wind" (which is Nancy's favorite Heart song, if I remember correctly) is a song they STILL play live, to this day! 🤘🤘 - Everyone should know it!] ...Go listen to more Michael DeRosier (the fact that you get to hear Ann beautifying the place while he's doing it "doesn't hurt," either! 😉😋 🤘🤘 (And, believe it or not: there are even MORE spectacular (or equally as) female vocalists out there that you have never heard (yet)!!!! No joke!) ...oh and if you want to hear one of the most beautiful, heartfelt songs ever written, listen to a song entitled "Angels" by Heart. Heart have a DEEP catalog ...and very few things in it will, ever, disappoint you or leave you feeling "dissatisfied." (That is a marker of greatness!; to be able to say that regarding a career of almost 50 years [I think 2021 would make 46 or 47 ...There were a few years of "hiatus" here & there, too so... but... -whatever: it is over 40 years of making great music! 🤘🤘 💙💙💙💜])
There are a couple songs from an old TV show they used to have on late at night in the 70s where artists played live called The Midnight Special. Look for Crazy on You and Magic Man. You can see how powerful Anne's voice was live! Plus the intro for Crazy on You showcases the guitar skills of Nancy! I think there was another live song they did on that show. Might have been Dreamboat Annie which was a deeper cut that fans of the band really like.
Heeey my adorable 2, it's been a while, but here I am again. Wow, I can't remeber when I heard this immortal rock-classic last time! Such a great song, I LOVE it...as always, thanx for that, wonderful! It's always a pleasure watching your honest, heart-warming reactions to this kind of music. Have a great sunday, stay safe and healthy, hugs to you both. :-)
Another great video, girls. As a former gamer, I can honestly say, I put this song on loop when I played any NASCAR game, and raced on the super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
Them damn Wilson sisters (Ann and Nancy) are no joke....great song writers...check it..."you lay solo in the weeds....I bet you wanna ambush me....you had me down down down down on my knees....now won't cha...BARRACUDA!" (A barracuda is a large, predatory, ray-finned fish)....great reaction!
Love your comments on this classic song. When i heard it for the first time back in 1977 i was actually reading a fishing magazine with a barracuda on the cover. Weird, eh ?
I know their Stairway cover was awesome, but this is the Wilson sisters I grew up with and why IMO the best female led band of all time/ Nothing against Janice, Pat, Grace, Joan and Chrissy but these two sisters are the queens of rock
I think I heard an interview with Heart where they were admitting they "borrowed" it too from Nazareths "this flight tonight" when being on tour with them. You can also hear a similar one in the intro of Iron Maidens "El Dorado".
First time I really heard this song........ Playing GTA San Andreas, Riding a Motor bike down Mount Chiliad and the song comes on the radio............ FCKING BRILLIANT
Barracuda was written as a response to their record company at the time that had started a rumor stating that Ann and Nancy were not just sisters, but lesbian lovers in a bid to drum up publicity for the band and their next release "Magazine". Ann says she was specifically angry at a music reporter who asked her backstage how her "lover" was. She thought he meant her boyfriend and the band's manager Michael Fisher, but he meant Nancy. In the end, Heart was able to drop their then-current contract with Mushroom Records, stop production on Magazine (which Mushroom released in it's largely unfinished form) and signed with the CBS records subsidiary Portrait to release the album "Little Queen", from which this track comes. You can really feel Ann's anger and frustration with the whole of the music business in the studio performance and in many of the early live performances of the song.
Both Ann & Nancy are amazing artists and they are right up in the top levels of musicianship. Loved them since I first heard them in 1975 or 1976. I saw them numerous times in the 70's and I expected that Ann's voice would bo a real powerhouse. I was shocked when I heard her. Not just the first time but every time. The sonic waves her voice released were tsunamis of power. Powerful but controlled in a remarkable way. Great choice ladies!
I saw these ladies on this tour waaaay back in 1977 for their Little Queen album. This song was released a month or two before I saw them in August. It was in a small arena of around 1,000-1,500 seats. I probably had the best seats in the house, except for front row on the floor, up in the front row, center balcony, was the best concert I'd seen until seeing Queen in 1980.
Love this I never really listened to this brilliant riff and lead is great now I’m older I can really appreciate it but again it’s your reaction that makes it great thank again Mia thanks Juliet BARRACUDA yeh
Hey ladies how’s it going I know this has absolutely nothing to do with anything we are talking about at the moment but I was watching a film called On The Beat With a guy called Norman Wisdom the other day and a Friend of mine said everyone on the planet should get a chance to see this film better still watch with the family I’m recommending that you and Mia watch this film with mom and dad if you can it’s simply because you two girls love to laugh I myself can’t help laughing with you I think this film would make you laugh so much your heads might spin I grew up on Norman Wisdom he’s fantastic a by gone era where laughing came natural and know one stood on the fence about comedy funny is as funny do I say keep this in mind because you two are natural comediennes I mean this with the utmost respect ✊ Mabey one day when your not so busy you could watch it and just have a laugh take care stay safe ladies with utmost respect and my best best wishes and regards T
Why does nobody recognize Roger Fisher when they talk about Heart? Guy was amazing. All of their great guitar licks were Roger Fisher.
Mostly because nancy is distractingly hot!
Don’t forget Mike Derosiers. He was a monster on the drums!
Dont worry most of the musicians knows who is roger fisher,he is the sound of heart ..\m/
Indeed one of THE most underrated guitarists of all time.
Because Wahmen
Ann holds her own in the rock world. To me, not only the best female rock singer of all time, but also one of the very best voices period. Crazy On You, Dog and Butterfly, Dreamboat Annie, Magic Man....of course Barracuda. I saw Heart 40 years ago in concert, Ann can caress your ears with her voice then rip them off. Anyway, you two make an old person feel proud of our era.
Ann Wilson is the BEST female vocalist in rock history!! Isn’t it amazing how Ann’s voice hasn’t changed? This song is about a man who is bad in every way!
Yes, Ann & her vocals have always been the "heart" of Heart!
True talent
Ann is awesome!!!
But my vote would go to Linda Ronstadt.
Her voice is so pure, but I’m pretty sure even Ann would say Janis Joplin was the best female Rock vocalist of all time, and from Janis’ voice was spawned the greatest Rock and Blues vocalist ever, the Golden God, Robert Plant.
Janis probably, but Ann is great. Kate Bust also fantastic. Karen Carpenter the best, but not rock.
"Crazy on You" NEXT PLEASE!!!!!
Normally I'd agree, but it might be a little creepy for this old man to watch these two young ladies react to it.
Agreed. A true showcase of Ann's extraordinary range. Also beautifully written lyrics.
Yes!
@@rancidcrabtree. oh, you are definitely interpreting something from that song I didn't.
@@haagenneldeberg6787 Really? Maybe i'm a product of my time, but it was generally accepted it is about sex when it came out.
When I was a teen I had a massive crush on Ann Wilson...lol
Who didn’t lol
shoot, I had a crush on her
Still do
A lott of whakin
That's how I felt as a girl in the '70s hearing Heart when these songs first came out. Rock on! Nice Zeppelin shirts, btw.
Thank you Patricia , We love our new shirts!
@@danasfaith5738 Rock on, chix!!
I was 10 years old when this song came out. The same year the king of rock'rol past away. Elvis Presley.
LZ was actually Heart’s inspiration and patterned their sound after them. Ann Wilson definitely was emulating Robert Plant’s vocal style, and the guitar riff is pretty much the bass line in “Achilles Last Stand”. Try that one next. Fair warning: it’s ten minutes long!!
Barracuda was a huge hit in the 70's. A staple of classic rock. Heart is part of rock royalty.
From what I hear, it was about their manager.
I saw Heart open for The Who in 1980 at the CNE Stadium in Toronto, Ontario. There were about 78,000 people there. Heart totally blew my mind the way the Wilson sisters just rocked the place.
I fell in love with Ann's voice since I first heard it!! 😍
"Dreamboat Annie" is an excellent album all the way through.
Ann Wilson was very beautiful when she was young. She is an amazing vocalist at her age today, she still got her voice.
Heart and the Runaways pushed the guys aside in the 70's and said you want rock? We'll show you how to rock! And they did!
So happy to see young woman rocking out to early hard rock female led bands. Rock on ✌️🎶
Music owes these two "shield maidens of Rock" quite a debt of gratitude for the "walls" that these two gorgeous women knocked down. Legends...
This was like...35 years years before the Kennedy performance. Ann was 64 I believe at Kennedy. Heart was HUGE in late seventies....I wore out a couple of their cassettes in the car. Many hits.

Your enthusiasm is infectious! I love the song; always have. But seeing your reaction makes me love it even more!
Welcome aboard, youngsters! Congrats, on discovering the greatest female Rock n' Roll band of all time! The lead singer, Ann Wilson could never be matched, she has so much range and power.
I believe that Ann actually wrote the riff for the song. Both sisters also are gifted guitarists
One of the greatest bands in my lifetime...and believe me, I am old... Just great! Thank you. That is all...

Kick your leg Nancy
Janis Joplin - First time ever to perform at Monterey Pop. Talk about a voice that demands attention.
Also Kick it Out!!!!!
I love Stevie Ray Vaughn’s first time playing the Montreux jazz festival. The audience had no idea what they were in for.
One of the most amazing performances I have ever seen.
And seeing Mama Cass mouthing "wow" halfway through Joplin's performance of "Summertime". Just blown away and impressed by the raw emotion.
My wife went to Schurr high school. And I've seen HEART in concert. Very cool.
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘😁✌🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fantastic!!!!!! I LOVE Heart!!!!!!
One of my favorite Heart songs is "Alone" not as heavy but her vocals WOW hope you will react to this thanks💜💜
One of the gnarliest riffs of all time

Love to see young people listen to great music. Love your reaction. You got a subscriber! 😆
One of the most played songs on the radio.... along with Queen, Aerosmith, Boston.... Rush
Now you know why these ladies were my hero's, still are! Ann's voice and writing skills and Nancy is considered one of the best female guitarists ever. Love your Zep shirts! Crazy on You has to be next, you'll see Nancy blow your mind with the opening guitar work. Thank you again!
I saw them live in Arizona over a decade ago. Ann KILLED it on Barracuda. Great show.
Imagine if Ann Wilson and Floor Jansen did a duet.
I have had a crush on the wilson sisters since the 80s.
Ann and nancy are a national treasure. This song has it all, great lyrics sung amazingly, awesome drums, tasty guitar solo and riff.
Ann is like a female robert plant, similar style and sound.
Heart has plenty of other great songs too. All around great band, they earned the hall of fame.
Heart is one of those bands that just pumped out instant classics. They're that group you can put on and pretty much everyone can agree on it.
Dog & butterfly, is a GORGEOUS song by heart, hope it makes it to the LIST!!!
Heart are big Led Zep fans.
You can hear the influence in their music.

You will want to hear them [I guess those would fall under "deep cuts," nowadays, I suppose. ...Doesn't matter: They are fabulous. 🤘🤘 💜🧡])
-If you, really, want to hear HEART at their "top echelon" go listen to "Mistral Wind"
and, also, "Nada One" (from the Dog & Butterfly album). High-level stuff.
["Straight On", "Hijinx" and the opening cut "Cook With Fire" are the 'big songs' on that one ...and they are sweet ...but "Mistral Wind" (which is Nancy's favorite Heart song, if I remember correctly) is a song they STILL play live, to this day! 🤘🤘 - Everyone should know it!]
...Go listen to more Michael DeRosier (the fact that you get to hear Ann beautifying the place while he's doing it "doesn't hurt," either! 😉😋 🤘🤘 (And, believe it or not: there are even MORE spectacular (or equally as) female vocalists out there that you have never heard (yet)!!!! No joke!)
...oh and if you want to hear one of the most beautiful, heartfelt songs ever written, listen to a song entitled "Angels" by Heart.
Heart have a DEEP catalog ...and very few things in it will, ever, disappoint you or leave you feeling "dissatisfied." (That is a marker of greatness!; to be able to say that regarding a career of almost 50 years [I think 2021 would make 46 or 47 ...There were a few years of "hiatus" here & there, too so... but... -whatever: it is over 40 years of making great music! 🤘🤘 💙💙💙💜])
Ann and Nancy Wilson are very talented. React to "Even it up" and "Straight On" next.
Great video!
Congratulations!
There are a couple songs from an old TV show they used to have on late at night in the 70s where artists played live called The Midnight Special. Look for Crazy on You and Magic Man. You can see how powerful Anne's voice was live! Plus the intro for Crazy on You showcases the guitar skills of Nancy! I think there was another live song they did on that show. Might have been Dreamboat Annie which was a deeper cut that fans of the band really like.
Saw em 2 times in concert. Love em. They always do at least 1 Zeppelin song during encore.
So much great classic Heart to react to! Magic Man, Crazy On You, Dog and Butterfly.. 🎼🎸💙✌️
Best concert I've ever been at early 2000`s!!!! Baltimore inner harbor.🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟! Sounded the same!!!!
This music is a great classic and amazing rock n'roll.
If you want to hear Nancy sing, you have listing " These Dreams" it is one of my favorites of heart.
Head bopping, same thing. lol I love watching you react, and appreciate the songs of my teen years. Keep rocking 😎
These chicks rock! Thats all you can say.
Heeey my adorable 2, it's been a while, but here I am again. Wow, I can't remeber when I heard this immortal rock-classic last time! Such a great song, I LOVE it...as always, thanx for that, wonderful! It's always a pleasure watching your honest, heart-warming reactions to this kind of music. Have a great sunday, stay safe and healthy, hugs to you both. :-)
Hey Mario! It's great to see you again! I hope everything is OK! And thank you for your kind comment! Stay safe!
Another great video, girls.
As a former gamer, I can honestly say, I put this song on loop when I played any NASCAR game, and raced on the super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
Crazy on You LIVE 1977and Magic Man LIVE 1976!!
Yeah, these are golden! Especially in the former you'll hear more of the Nancy's guitarism.
Barracuda shows off what Ann can do, Crazy on You shows off what Nancy can do.
I’m so old, lol, you two make me smile thinking this music will go on
You two are so much fun! Never change yr attitude to life! Cheers!
Thank you so much micko!
Mágic man ....by heart .....🙌🙌🙌
Barracuda great classic
That was hilarious, her face dropped, when she said a dollar 😂
You girls would have to see them live absolutely amazing!!
Them damn Wilson sisters (Ann and Nancy) are no joke....great song writers...check it..."you lay solo in the weeds....I bet you wanna ambush me....you had me down down down down on my knees....now won't cha...BARRACUDA!" (A barracuda is a large, predatory, ray-finned fish)....great reaction!
Love your comments on this classic song. When i heard it for the first time back in 1977 i was actually reading a fishing magazine with a barracuda on the cover. Weird, eh ?
I know their Stairway cover was awesome, but this is the Wilson sisters I grew up with and why IMO the best female led band of all time/ Nothing against Janice, Pat, Grace, Joan and Chrissy but these two sisters are the queens of rock
I'm playing catch up. Love Heart. Almost a Zeppelin reaction. Some say they were the female Plant & Page! Great job!
This riff is “inspired” from Zeppelin’s Achilles Last Stand
I think I heard an interview with Heart where they were admitting they "borrowed" it too from Nazareths "this flight tonight" when being on tour with them.
You can also hear a similar one in the intro of Iron Maidens "El Dorado".
And the drum rhythm.
Funny, just watched their reaction to that.
That's nonsense
It's way heavier than Achilles Last Stand, and it's all about thrashing.
Are you sure it was nt inspired by the immigration song?
First time I really heard this song........ Playing GTA San Andreas, Riding a Motor bike down Mount Chiliad and the song comes on the radio............ FCKING BRILLIANT
Barracuda was written as a response to their record company at the time that had started a rumor stating that Ann and Nancy were not just sisters, but lesbian lovers in a bid to drum up publicity for the band and their next release "Magazine". Ann says she was specifically angry at a music reporter who asked her backstage how her "lover" was. She thought he meant her boyfriend and the band's manager Michael Fisher, but he meant Nancy.
In the end, Heart was able to drop their then-current contract with Mushroom Records, stop production on Magazine (which Mushroom released in it's largely unfinished form) and signed with the CBS records subsidiary Portrait to release the album "Little Queen", from which this track comes.
You can really feel Ann's anger and frustration with the whole of the music business in the studio performance and in many of the early live performances of the song.
Anne was so angry, she wrote the song in like 2 days.
they were awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you both are adorable
Both Ann & Nancy are amazing artists and they are right up in the top levels of musicianship. Loved them since I first heard them in 1975 or 1976. I saw them numerous times in the 70's and I expected that Ann's voice would bo a real powerhouse. I was shocked when I heard her. Not just the first time but every time. The sonic waves her voice released were tsunamis of power. Powerful but controlled in a remarkable way. Great choice ladies!
One of the best voices ever...
I saw these ladies on this tour waaaay back in 1977 for their Little Queen album. This song was released a month or two before I saw them in August. It was in a small arena of around 1,000-1,500 seats. I probably had the best seats in the house, except for front row on the floor, up in the front row, center balcony, was the best concert I'd seen until seeing Queen in 1980.
Barracuda is one of Rocks best of all time.
They say her voice could slice the armor off a Sherman tank
Love this I never really listened to this brilliant riff and lead is great now I’m older I can really appreciate it but again it’s your reaction that makes it great thank again Mia thanks Juliet
BARRACUDA yeh
