At the age of twelve struck up a friendship with an unlikely source in my local area and after visiting his house, I noticed he was often playing music in the background. It was BOOH2 and at the name Meat Loaf, I started to think of where I had seen it before at my home. I found the original BOOH on vinyl and played it over and over. I was officially hooked.
Since then I have made it my task to buy every Meat Loaf single ever released and every original album also. I have several compilation albums that I will buy if they have rare or new songs on them but generally, compilation cd's are a dime a dozen.
I saw Meat live in London in 1999 and I have never been so overawed in my life. I have never seen a concert that has topped that performance. I'll be seeing him again on December 22nd in Cardiff.
God Bless Meat Loaf.
