PARADISE FOUND: BAT OUT OF HELL REIGNITED
Here's what I thought... what did you think of the new version of Bat?
There are so many reminders of just what a special artist Meat Loaf was. His voice was truly stratospheric. 20 superb musical theatre performers combined can't touch him in Bat out of Hell the musical. Tyce Green has an awesome voice with a southern style, again there's no comparison. Even the DIVA of our time Danielle Steers doesn't hold a candle to Meat.
This new recording of Bat out of Hell by Meat's Band the Neverland Express, produced by Paul Crook is another example of how Meat was a super-human powerhouse. Caleb Johnson has one of the best rock voices in the industry today but he doesn't once show us his soul on these recordings. His voice is like butter but he never sounds heartbroken or gasping for his last breath struggling to say "I love you" one last time. He never lives the song. Not even for a moment. He takes the melodies to church but he has never been baptised.
I will say this tho, the guitars on this record are awesome.
