Frequently Asked Questions

You have over the last 2 or 3 years asked us many questions, and we have found that often the same questions keep coming up again and again. We therefore thought it would be a good idea to add a "Frequently Asked Questions" Page to the web site. So here it is!

We have tried to answer all the questions to the best of our ability and give as much information as possible. We have drawn on many sources for the answers, sometimes they are based on fact, sometimes they are based on articles/interviews with Meat Loaf, sometimes they are educated guesses based on our individual or collective experience and some have actually been answered by Meat Loaf himself.

We'd like to thank Meat for taking the time to answer as many questions as possible.

We hope that you find them interesting and that they may just tell you something you didn't already know. In any case enjoy!

Some of the questions included on previous updates have now been answered by Meat himself, these have an * after them, so do check these out.
