I was searching around on the net and I found this:
"The Neverland Express is the name for Meat Loaf's live band. The name is most likely taken from Jim Steinman's constant obsession with Peter Pan. It is the backbone behind every Meat Loaf performance, containing what some consider the quintessential ensemble of musicians"... Its the history of the band and its in wikipedia - now you may be wondering, this ain't news, but I just fancied posting it. Below are the whole list of band members since 1977! ![]() Current (2007) Randy Flowers: Guitars, Keyboards, Vocals Paul Crook: Lead Guitars Kasim Sulton: Bass, Vocals Mark Alexander: Keyboards, Vocals Dave Luther: Saxophones, Keyboards, Vocals John Miceli: Drums Aspen Miller: Vocals Carolyn "C.C."

Actually, there is a lot more not included in that listing, and I think some of the fans with vintage memorabilia can back that up.

No, after playing in a couple of bands at school, Kasim's first professional job was with Cherry Vanilla. When he recorded BOOH he was in the band Utopia (fronted by Todd Rundgren) who were the musicians on the album. http://www.KasimInfo.com/Biography.html has more info about Kasim's career (although that section does need updating!). That list has Patti as singing with Meat Loaf in 1991 - 1992 but Kasim not starting until 1993 which is incorrect as Kasim was at Patti's audition. Also I don't think that Pearl's dates are correct.

Patti didn't start until 1993 like Sue mentions. Some of the other musicians listed during the 90's are wrong too I believe (i believe they were session musicians for Meat at that time, but not touring) and also Ray, Tom and Damon started in 1998. The thing with Wikipedia is i believe anyone can post the entries and they're not always checked for accuracy. Its a nice basis though! :)

I dont think Bob Kulick played in 82, or at least not in the UK, i saw him a couple of times in 82 and i think Davey Johnson was playing guitar back then
