If someone catches say, the BBC doc or a bit of a ML song as they're going about their day and think 'hmm, I used to like/quite like Meat Loaf. I wonder if he's up to anything lately' the first thing they will do is Google 'Meat Loaf official', head to his 'official' site, see a worthless mess and probably give it up as a bad job. There's no way that that isn't a shame.

Let's look at an older veteran artist who's recent albums have sold less than Meat's for comparison. Check out JerryLeeLewis.com

I don't think I even need to say more. If Meat wanted a decent website he could find a way to have one. Hell, if I wanted a decent website (and had the money) I could do so for myself. Anyone could. I would imagine a Vegas residency, a new album with Steinman, a movie career, record contracts etc. are all far trickier things to arrange than getting up an up-to-date web presence with good archival and current information and photos. It honestly surprises me that such a perfectionist is content to have www.meatloaf.net on his recent albums and be represented by such a shoddy, half-arsed website branded with his seal of approval.
