Meat collapsed at a show in Canada last night. :thumbsdown: :no:

Hopefully all will be well with Meat...but these are indeed tough times for some old'school rockers.

Get well ML! :rock:
 
I met him right before the big comeback. I'm saying about 1989. My girlfriend at the time worked at Foot Locker and he came in for shoes and socks. Nobody really recognized him because the Bat Out of Hell fame had passed. Very nice guy and seemed down to earth and very genuine.

Hopefully he gets well soon and it's nothing too serious.
 
remember him on Celebrity Apprentice - completely unstable
 
Hate to hear this and hope he recovers. Was never a Meatloaf fan well, because I aboslutley cannot stomach Jim Steinmans writing. It's just not my thing.
 
This isn't the first time he's collapsed after a show. Dude has a history giving 110% at live shows, to his own detriment sometimes.
 


Probably the best few minutes of reality TV in existence

Hahaha! Flipped out over paint he misplaced. Usually the guys yelling don't mess with me blah blah blah go down like a sack of bricks
 
OMFG....I forgot all about that.

What a loose canon.

Oh well, hope he gets better. With that kind of temper I doubt he's going to be around much longer.

:lol: :LOL: ... so awesome ... love that they call him "Meat" ... was waiting for him to yell: THAT'S MR. MEAT TO YOU MUTHERF*****S!"
 
Honestly I LOVE MEATLOAF and his tunes!! :rock:

Bat out of Hell has SOOOOOO many memories for me growing up. :D

I just did not care for when Yngwie tried to Rip Meatloaf off on his looks. :thumbsdown:

Exactly. Yo Meat, you gonna bark all day little doggie, or are you gonna bite?
 
Typically, if the meatloaf collapses, you've added too many breadcrumbs

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the fact that Meat was miming



To be fair, that seemed to be a backing track to fill out the vocals on the chorus of the song, probably to make his voice seem stronger. You can clearly hear his (strained sounding) singing stop right before he collapses and the mic hitting the floor, so I don't think he was all out lip syncing.
 
Miming. lip syncing, filling out his voice - same thing as far as I'm concerned

At .027 the mic and Meat has already hit the floor, yet we still hear his 'strained' voice

At .049 you can see he is nowhere near the mic

That's not the strained voice I'm talking about. I referring to 0.19 - 0.22. Clearly that's his voice through a live mic. So my point is, I don't think he is really lip syncing. He's using a backing track of his own voice during the chorus. Hopefully he's also singing during the chorus too, or that really would be lip syncing.

Regardless, using a backing track of your own voice is pretty dishonest IMHO. Especially when it was turned up as loud as it seemed to be in that clip.
