long live the loaf!!

RSG · 13 Feb 2010, 01:45

and long shall live the steinman as well!

I'm in agreement with those who thought Meat was great, but not so enthusiastic about the female singer. However, I did think it was a very clever (and different) arrangement. If the woman's microphone had been turned down a little, I think it would have sounded better.

Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman great on their own. But as a pair, is how they got my attention. They are two men who will stand the test of time. That's right, they are prime and will always have a place on top of the world shining behind them the light of heaven, or hell

Thanks for the video.

Meat sounded absolutely fantastic, I mean he killed it, he killed it, he killed it!! Loved the unique arrangement of the song as well, just when you thought you had heard every version of Bat Out of Hell, Meat gives us this.

I don't know if I'd call it a comeback .... but yes, Meat knew he nailed it :)
I loved how he hugged the woman who sang with him and then stood there with that sparkle in his eye and beautiful big grin on his face. It was great to see !

Ok thanks to everyone who posted their reviews prior to those of us being able to upload it in a timely manner (namely me). I couldn't wait until I was able to see it. And thank you for everyones links. Eventually I got one to come through. And I've watched it twice....and I don't know where to start.

I loved the slowed down version because I was able to appreciate every single sound Meat made. He nailed it, he knows he nailed it, and I soaked that up like a sponge.

He looks fantastic and polished. Wardrobe: pretty dope with the rock applique accents and "bling bling" (jewlery). I would love to get a close up shot of the back of his stage coat. Looks awesome.

And Meat's voice....OMG the voice: My heart jumped, it really did. To para-quote if you will: EFFING' YES!!!!! As far as the leading lady Juliet, I only found one part where I was like "what" but I sure can't do what she does or did so I have 0 to say about her. For certain, Meat was super pleased at the end of it, high fives all the way around.

Alan was even funny at the end of it saying something about people trying to go to sleep. Yeah, Meat celebrate after that one and while your at it, I think you just told those "rags" a big ole' "I told you so"!

Stupendous job,
Suzieq

I think it was an achievement for him

He doesn't like performing live on TV, but he seems on such a fighting high now, and it must have felt good to have nailed the performance.

I liked seeing his generosity and graciousness, always a Meat hallmark, as he made a point of thanking and seeking the audience's recognition for each group of musicians who backed the performance.

Yes, a special performance, a special night :)

Well all i gotta say is thank God he doesn't have to sing with her every night...lol...but other than that...i have to admit Meat your sounding not to shabby...WTG....

montya440 · 13 Feb 2010, 04:07

Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic. If that is his form I can't wait for the new album. It's gonna be awesome.

ChrisBelfast · 13 Feb 2010, 05:05

Just saw the performance.....Best live performance of Meat's in a long time. Exciting times ahead! The voice was there

Kathy · 13 Feb 2010, 05:55

Meat, tonight was a triumph!!! and Juliette was wonderful! She understood the song, and she sang with you; I can't help but flash back to a few years ago when a young woman on AI sang, not with you, but to a mirror in her own mind... Please tell Juliette how much we enjoyed her performance! ...and you, Meat, you rule.. You absolutely RULE.
All my love,
Kathy
