Meat Loaf news articles from the 1970's claiming he'd died?

Wario · 09 Aug 2010, 10:16

I remember Meat talking about news articles back in the 70's where they said he had passed out and to have died. i remember him saying something about this.

I was wondering, is their anyone who has these articles they can scan? be an interesting read.

To quote from the autobiography:

"During one of the shows in Australia-Adelaide-they took a picture of me lying down, passed out on stage with the headline MEAT LOAF DEAD" (pg. 199)

Unfortunately I didn't get to change the title soon enough to stop it going out on twitter like that.

That's not your fault. I blame the man from Tokyo.

Yeah, Im very very sorry. I didn't really think before titling the thread lol...

So was there a "Meat Is Dead" conspiracy back then? I mean, the guy stopped touring, canceled his second record...Jim must've known the fans would have been heartbroken, so he hired some immitator for Dead Ringer...It all makes sense! I bet if you play Dead Ringer For Love backwards it'll speak to you. haha

in anticipation*

I've read or heard Meat talk about how he'd get worked up to do the shows and he'd have to have oxygen near after the shows. He was a very large guy ( at that time)and if you watch him preform in some of the videos from the late 70's you can clearly see how much energy he is using. He gives 200% and it had to take a toll.

Now's it 200%, even more than 110%

Breeze · 09 Aug 2010, 23:24

I always felt he gave twice the effort of any other singer. He puts it all out there.
