DON'T ban the tribute bands! ANYTHING that brings attention to Meat and his music is a good thing!

I only discovered Meat Loaf last year after watching "To Hell and Back". Meat did not play the part of himself, although he did sing the songs (I think!). After watching the film I had to buy every Meat Loaf CD, Video and book I could get my hands on!

Had I seen one of the tribute singers, the effect would have been exactly the same!

I have see two tribute artists - Steve Steinman who had a good voice but was a bit sloppy (sorry!) and ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ (brilliant!). He would go far given the money to have a backing band. I have yet to see Peat Loaf.

Tribute bands keep Meat Loaf in the public eye, and bring his music to people who for one reason or another cannot see the Great Man himself so let them be.
