Why not? Have you ever seen a Meat Loaf concert in the American Midwest with the punk kids with multicolored mohawks pseudo-moshing and the audiences crushed up against the stage barriers for the entire show rockin' out like they were at a real rock show? I think the problem is people are very opinionated about their Meat and fail to see that he does appeal to a very broad audience. I have seen older "blue hair" couples in formal cocktail attire, hells angels biker babes, and people in full on Frank N. Furter gear at the same Meat Loaf show all appreciating the music the way they see fit. Meat Loaf is so universal that is not "my way or the highway" with him. Just because his current project is more edgy and raw than in the past, does not mean Meat has turned his back on his past, it just means he realizes there is a part of the taste palate where he has yet to deliver.
