Im gonna be honest about posting 1988 material in conjunction with current performance videos.....

Its unfair to Compare 64 year old meat with 44 year old meat. One of our biggest debates here is always whats the better meat loaf voice? 1987-1993 or the current one. Ill also like to note meat isnt a tenor anymore (hes more of a baritone now), so the comparisons are unjust.

1987 meat is technically and factually better sounding then 2012 Meat. What 1987 meat lacks is a kickass band line up and stage presence. Very rarely does meat stay stationary at a micstand now. In 1987 or 1988 or 1989 or 1990 or 1991 for example meat would very rarely stray away from that micstand (in 1993 is when he really started to go full out). What I love about current meat is the performances he gives. his voice is just an added cherry on top of a huge sunday

Posting a 1988 video in 1 2012 thread is like bringing a watermellon to a pumpkin contest. Theres 2012 Epic Meat Loaf band and theres 1988 Epic Meat Loaf voice. To me its pretty much inarguable 1987-1993 were meats best years vocally (in fact its kinda a fact). 2010- currently are meat's best as a performer and stage man. Thats almost inarguable. Posting a 1988 video is like saying "why cant meat sing like jesus anymore?"

I loathe it when people criticize his voice and then saying his performance is bad. TWO DIFFERENT THINGS ENTIRELY.

My answer: "Meat cant sing like 1988 jesus anymore, but by god he performs better today then 8 billion buddahs"

Thats my view. Keep the 1987-1993 videos when we are discussing the goldne age.

NEVER confuse performance with singing. There are a shit tone of people who can sing better then Meat live nowadays. Yet There are only a handful who can match him as a performer and actor. And thats what he is first, an ACTOR. and thats how i judge him by now.

thats just my view on that matter

BASICALLY This is how the two eras stack up for me:

1988 - 1993 Meat Voice: 10/10
current meat voice: 6/10

1988 - 1993 Meat Performance: 8/10
current meat performance: 10/10
