Why? Because it seems like Australians cant watch the videos online {Please don't bite my head off, I'm just kidding, i love Australia, But you guys should probably rethink some questions}. This is a summary, didn't QUOTE everything exactly.
Q: When are you coming back to Australia & New Zealand?
A: October
Q: When are you coming up with a new album?
A: We’re working on it right now. It’s called “Hell in a Handbasket.”

A: Yeah, when I get enough stuff.
Q: Why doesn’t Meat Loaf have a star on the walk of fame?
A: I don’t know, write the Hollywood chamber of commerce and ask them.
Q: Would you ever consider doing stand-up comedy?
A: Yes, I have in the 80’s when I introduced the Rocky horror show. I decided that I would make it funny and I kind of did a little stand-up. I went down to the Westport Comedy Club and I did 4 different stand-up shows.
Q: How did you get involved with the charity “The Painted Turtle”?
A: Lou Adler {the producer of the Rocky horror show} did a lot for me and my career, so I’ve been working for “The Painted Turtle” ever since he started working for them.
Q: Would you ever consider doing a Holiday Album?
A: Yes, we probably will do one now because we built a portable studio.
Q: How are album covers created?
A: Bat out of hell was Steinman’s creation, Bad attitude was mine, Dead ringer was mine that came from a painting I saw in a museum. The only one we didn’t create was the cover for Blind before I stop. Either Steinman or myself have been in control of making that cover art.
Q: What’s my favourite video?
A: The first 4 we did, with Two out of Three Ain't Bad. Dead ringer for love with Cher. Working with Michael Bay on Anything for love, Rock n Roll Dreams and Objects in the rear view mirror. Rock n Roll dreams with Angelina Jolie. Working with a director named Michael Grant who did I’d lie for you and that’s the truth. Working on Los Angeloser. The duet with Marion Raven {It's All Coming Back to Me Now}. There’s no real favourite.

A: No.
Q: If you can spend a day in the studio with any artist to record, who would it be?
A: Elvis Presley.

A: Absolutely. I Love Cher
Q: Would you be back on ghost hunters again with Jay and Grant and the crew?
A: I sent a text to Jay saying I want to come back on Ghost Hunters and he wrote back saying absolutely.

A: That’s false, my favourite Ice cream is chocolate chip, but I can’t eat it, because I’m Lactose intolerant.
Q: What are your thoughts about doing voice work on animation films?
A: All anybody got to do is pick up the phone and call me, ill be there.
Q: Is there any chance they’ll bring back rock and a hard place?
A: No. I would do it, but they aren’t bringing it back.
Q: Have you ever thought about recording a country album, or a country-rock album? A: We’ve got sort-off a song on the new album that I’m actually having a country-fiddle play on. I don’t know if that’s country or not, but it’s got a country-fiddle.

Q: Are you coming to Chicago, Kansas City, Colorado, Germany, Ireland, Spain etc.?
A: At sometime within the next year and a half we would probably have been in most of these places.
Q: How did the songs for Hang Cool Teddy Bear come about? Did writers come to you with them?
A: No. Writers never come to me with them, and if they do, the songs are never what they come with, because I constantly change them. What happened with Hang Cool Teddy Bear is a series of writers came to Rob Cavallo’s house and spent over 5 weeks with this. They came with certain songs and ideas and we just moulded them.
Q: Why didn’t they mention standing in the storm in the finale?
A: I had the same question.
Q: What does your wife think about you being on Celebrity Apprentice?
A: She laughed at me when I cried, and she was angry at me when I yelled at Gary Busey.

A: No. I appeared in off-Broadway, in Central Park, in two Shakespeare plays {As you like it and Othello} in the early 70’s for the New York Shakespeare Festival.

A: Within the next week and a half, you’ll be the first to know.
