Article in De Telegraaf (dutch newspaper)

[Ankie]

Since it didnt appear online (yet) you'll have to take my word for it being there If it doesnt appear I'll try to have it on here like Diane did with the article of last Sunday.....Although I don't have to do it because of the attached picture; it is one out of many from Universal from the CHSIB-''era''.

Of course it tells about the cyste and how happy Meat is about the fact he didnt need surgery for it.
Then Bat 3 is mentioned: Meat is very proud on it, but there is always a ''better and bigger''.
Quote (more or less):
Right now I am busy doing something that is really incredible. I have the two most famous rockproducers produce 5 songs each and it is going to be a masterpiece. No, no names given. Only that Jim Steinman isn't going to be involved. Then a few more lines explaining about that.

Meat tells to perform songs from all Bat albums and the CHSIB one in Amsterdam. ''It is a great show, even for people who dislike me. Especially since my former female singer Patti Russo, imo the most gorgeous woman in the world, joins us again!''

MEAT LOAF TO AMSTERDAM

Lost weight and in top condition

by JEAN-PAUL HECK

At the end of last year had veteran Meat Loaf cancelled a gig in Netherlands An old pain was again overcome float. "All my life I have with overload on my voice problems , but this time it was really wrong." Now he's back to make up. Lost weight and in top condition and he will next Monday do a concert in the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam.

"I'm over 12 pounds lost and in top condition. In addition, my voice problems resolved. I had a cyst on my vocal cords and I would need surgery. Fortunately the cyst folded up and saying I do not need under the knife.
According to my sound engineer my voice sounds better and harder than ever before. "It is the Meat Loaf we know. Never too faint to open his big mouth to attract, but also not to recognise his weaknesses.

"Earlier last year I did a gig in Amsterdam. By that gig I wake sometimes up bathed in the sweat. That action was a disaster because I was that day extremly ill. Behind the podium were four doctors who helped me all called for to do go on stage. I still went through, because I felt I could not make it to default to let go. In retrospect that was a dumb move. "

It is the characterized Meat Loaf. The man who two years ago the third part of his famous' Bat Out Of Hell Trilogy "released under the subtitle" The Monster Is Loose ', makes from his heart no killing fields. The king of the bombast is still very proud on that album, but it can still better and bigger. "But now I'm busy with something that borders on the unbelievable. I let the two most famous rockproducers the world every five numbers and the produce is a masterpiece. No, I do not mention names. In any case, not Jim Steinman, "he says, referring to the great composer and producer behind 'Bat Out Of Hell." "With him I still maintain a lively e-mail, but which go mainly on the baseball results of the New York Yankees."

In Amsterdam says Meat Loaf songs to play all of 'Bat Out Of Hell' albums and the CD' Could not Have Said It Better. " "It's a wonderful show, even for people who hate me. They can also just come to hear. My old singer Patty Russo, in my eyes the most beautiful woman in the world, does this tour again. "

Meat Loaf and band are on the 4th of August in the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam

ps:

In the Netherlands we have an saying "van je hart geen moordkuil maken" ... to translate this is quit hard... I translated it to "makes from his heart no killing fields" but I really doubt if this is a good translation. If anyone knows please say so.

Okay, it's in the nuances, but I think that "But now I'm working on something that borders on the unbelievable. I'm letting the two most famous rock-producers in the world produce five songs each, and it is going to be a masterpiece." would be a more faithful translation. Still... mighty big words.

Thanks for that, W. Sounds like my version wasnt that bad after all, and I still can ''compete'' with the translation skills of a computerprogramme
