May I suggest to get a few body piercings and tattoos in addition? :twisted:

It was a very good performance, although I'm usually not very fond of shortened versions of the song. I was a little confused by the lady at first but that wasn't her fault. When listening to it for the first time, that duet appeared rather funny to me and I felt as if her style of singing did not match the song - but maybe it's just that strange mix that made me like it after listening to it several times. I think it's one of the most interesting versions of that song. Meat's voice was amazing, it sounded growling at times and changed to Pavarotti style the very next moment.

HAHAHA! Suggestion dismissed due to the common knowledge that Meat doesn't "do" needles well. Bling is a nice upgrade....Meat2010 model.

Keep the bling and the flashy new skull jacket, Meat.. you looked GGGREEATT!!! :)

First off, I am very thankful for the wonderful people who have uploaded this performance to YouTube and even more thankful for Meat Loaf's management team for not having it yanked from it. I believe this is the perfect launch for Meat Loaf's upcoming project - Hang Cool, Teddy Bear 4. I am so excited to see the new direction Meat Loaf is taking.

Comments have been made about Meat Loaf being "crazy" lately...hell yeah he has been crazy lately. It is nice to see the off the chain and over the top Meat Loaf back in good form. It seems like we have not seen him this charasmatic since things started going back with the distribution of the album Couldn't Have Said It Better. I really do think that CHSIB was an exceptional album and Meat seemed to take it very personally when things were not going well with the record company and the ticket scams and rackets associated with it. Watching Meat Loaf during the promo of Bat Out Of Hell 3 was extremely painful to me. To me, it felt that Meat Loaf was being lead through the promo and decisions were being made by the record company - not himself. I know and love the character Meat Loaf, could see Mr. Aday putting on the act in public, but the heart and passion simply was not there. After all of the Bat 3 hype was over and now there is a project that Meat Loaf is working on that is "his" I can see the passion is back in his form. I believe that once again Marvin has completely transformed back into Meat Loaf and I love it!

The performance of the song was exceptional! I loved the new arrangement. Yes, the Bat out Of Hell purists would find fault with it, but for what it is...the performance was brilliant. This worked far better than the version that was on the MSO DVD/CD. It was nice to see a totally re-worked version of the song that actualy placed the song into the format of the project it was part of. Yes, the chicka singing along with Meat was a bit much, but that is part of the format of the show - it is what it is.

Bravo Meat! You did good!

Dave

Perfectly stated. I agree 100%. Meat seems to be back with a vengeance after Bat 3 went the way it did. I think leaving the clip up online is a great move too. Yanking stuff off youtube to me is usually not a good move. I can't count how many songs I've bought after finding them on youtube. This performance will definitely boost interest in the new CD.

Absolutely fantastic performancs. I really enjoyed it, I've always wanted to hear BOOH opera style anyway and I wasn't disappointed and so thank you Meat and Juliet. Luv cx

Meat and Juliet did a fantastic job. If I had been in Meat's shoes I'd have been caught staring at her cleavage instead of her eyes :D. Meat's a true pro!!

As if I needed any reasurrance after seeing Meat so happy in his tweets that HCTB will showcase Meat at his very best his performance and the few seconds of Losangeloser we hear on the updated version of Behind the music have done that and so much more.

What makes you believe those seconds are from Los Angeloser??
Any link (besides the "Hollywood" street sign in the video)?

considering the partial tracklist and the lyrics in that clip it's more likely a snippet of "if it rains"

You can hear a few seconds of Los Angeloser in that clip, too, but it's just music, you don't hear him sing.

To be fair I think Meat's made it pretty plain that he doesn't generally like whole doctors/hospitals/needles ball of wax ... :-)

More relevantly to me, Meat has three broad styles; smart-but-comfortable-casual with colour, scrubs-up-well DJ black with a touch of sparkle, and performance-make-an-impact (but can be left with the wardrobe mistress) stage clothes, whether it's in concert or TV appearance .. and always he looks good because he chooses the appropriate style for the situation, and knows what styles work for him. His can wear those double-breasted, forties style suits and fedoras and look stunning, and the promo shots for CHSIB were superb!

No-one understands stagecraft and performance better than Meat, and I think the look, and the bling, was spot on .. he's also got a perfect sense of what will work for him and make a performance stand out. But you can't leave acquired piercings behind when you leave the stage and slip back into your real life, and I'd put the smart money on Meat being happy to stay with the ones God gave him ;).. He also doesn't show a lot of skin on stage ;).. so even temporary tattoos would have limited impact!

That HCTB Demo isn't the Meat song, I asked the singer of that band via facebook:

Btw, not so sure about the Hallelujah Song, as Meat has said they tried different tracks with Hugh Laurie.
