The wat Bat is sung

[Dick]

As with most people we all have a favourite version of a song, i have heard 7 live versions of Bat and out of those 7 only 2 remain in my head. And it is for the same reason for both, the reason is the line "I can see myself tearing up the road". Nowdays Meat sings "Ooooohhhhh i can see..." Now these live versions 1 is from Meat in Dublin 2002 when he screamed the "I" like on the album and the other version is on the Rock N' Roll Hero cd. Now i love it when he screams this line cause it brings a sort of hellish presence to the song. Does anyone else think this?

yes. that's why i like most the version on Bat instead of a live version. It is the only song where i like the album version more.
I think he won't scream on it, not because he can't do it, but that it is very hard to scream and to sing in a song live.

Hi Dick.
The Live version of Bat on the Rock & Roll Hero compilation is taken from the Meat Loaf Live album recorded 1st & 2nd March 1987.
It's safe to say that it's my all time favourite Live version of Bat 8) .
If you haven't got this album,get it.It's still available to order in the shops and is a fantastic concert.

I lock this topic, because there's another topic about Bat.
