Meatloaf Collapses...


Recommended Posts

... but his voice continues on in true trouper style.

 

Luckily, he's OK, but watching the video I can't help but notice he's laid out on the stage and yet his vocals keep right on going.

my wife turned to me and said "huh, I thought he was already dead".

 

I blame 2016 news cycles ... for my wife, she's an angel. she meant no harm.

The baiting I do is purely for entertainment value. Please feel free to ignore it.

My husband often does this with any celebrity that he has not seen in a while.

 

Thankfully it is just dehydration and he is recovering well.

Yeah... Seems pretty obvious that he was lip syncing, but who cares? Give the guy credit for lasting this long. Hope he recovers soon.

Other possibilities are:

- Another band member with a similar voice took over the line

- The soundman switched to the recorded part that was running in sync as a B plan, they often have these backup tracks if any of the live tracks are cut out.

 

A fan interview on the same news site says that during the whole show his singing was faint and band members were taking over vocal duties. So he was live up until the collapse.

Life is subtractive.

Plus this song was destroyed for me by this (funny) commercial:

p.s. I'm pretty sure the M&M was lip syncing.

That's why you don't slam the oven door, oh, sorry, that's souffle.

 

Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell" is one great rock and roll album, long may he sing.

"Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me, yet you cannot play upon me.'-Hamlet

 

Guitar solos last 30 seconds, the bass line lasts for the whole song.

This view shows that he was trying to pull it off. His voice was very faint, and the soundguy had his mic turned way up - to the point that it made a loud thud when it hit the stage.

 

It looks like the keyboard player behind the B3 (shell?) immediately jumped on the line - like maybe they'd been here before. When Meat Loaf doesn't recover, the music stops.

 

Apparently the guy has had a long history of major heart issues. If there was ever a time to call it a career, this might be it.

F***ing idiots in the crowd yelling "Rock n' Roll!" while the poor man is on the deck. This is why I hate rock shows.

Hammonddave,

 

Edmonton - my home town. I get that you aren't complaining about Edmonton specifically, but I do think that sometimes we deserve your ass kick. There is much to love about this place. We have a great arts scene, many great musicians, spectacular folk and fringe festivals, one of the world's best jazz clubs, a world class concert venue, a beautifully preserved river valley area, many thoughtful people, some enlightened social and political leaders, a great education system (you're welcome), etc... BUT I think that that guy who yelled "rock 'n roll" is always driving in the vehicle in front of me. Given that this is Edmonton, I would have thought that Meatloaf collapsed from inhaling pickup truck exhaust fumes. Sheesh!

There are Aholes everywhere. Even in the greatest cities. And they usually congregate at rock concerts.
