My voice is in incredible shape, I can sing “Bat Out of Hell” no problem, all in the same key, all the high notes.
Meat Loaf

We had so much fun so many times, and, just three months younger than me, he felt like a brother. Dear Meat, the world is mourning and will miss your fine and powerful presence for a very long time.

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.jsA complete original. Meatloaf was the exact opposite of what “success” in Rock & Roll was SUPPOSED to look like.The Anti-Plant. He WORKED being a Mystery Date “Dud” into the “100 Million Sold” that’s the ONLY reason he’s relevant to the Fancy Folk pretending to love him now.

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.jsMeat Loaf was one of the greatest voices in Rock N Roll, and he was certainly one of my closest friends in the business. He was really so much fun, truly fun to be around. He just felt like a best friend to everyone no matter how long it had been since you last saw him.— Alice Cooper (@alicecooper) January 21, 2022

He got booed off the stage and said he would never open any shows for us or anyone else, and he kept his promise!”
