Michael (?),
I am a newbie here...relative newbie as a fan too. When your first album came out...it was long ago and I was far away. I actually got to be a fan after the second Bat came out. That's when I first heard Paradise By The Dashboard Light of all songs...and the rest is history. So...I don't even know if you're reading this or interested in this or whatever...I didn't even figure out yet how to know whether people have replied to me...duh...
In any event...Your voice changed, didn't change...doesn't matter...it is your heart and your soul and your everything that you put into your singing. It is an extreme effort that goes into every little song and detail. I am surprised you can still walk and talk after all this effort.
In any event...I saw you some years back in Radio City Hall and loved it. Then I saw you in NJ with Cindy Lauper...and I guess it was one of those off days. I wasn't disappointed...just...ummm...just a bit hurt and those were not my feelings that were hurt...it was almost actual physical pain I felt. So when the last tour came around (2005) I said...Let me remember Meat Loaf the way he was and not go to this concert...
Boy oh boy...am I eating now my words and my heart out...I honestly think that I will never forgive myself if I never will see your concert again...even if you don't have any voice left, even if you do wheelchair races on the stage, I still got to see it at least once. So please...ya know...
And to whoever says that Meat Loaf is too old to tour and to rock...I have a few words to say... You know I love you...but you have a lot to learn about rock and roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
