The fact that they needed 2 vocalists to cover this as well as they did just emphasises the incredible vocal range Meatloaf (RIP) had. Absolute Legend. Fantastic energy in this cover and the twin guitarists were absolutely 'on point'
Best cover of the song I've heard and I'm a die hard Meatloaf fan since 1977. Of course not many bands had the nerve to even try to cover this song even in a studio and these guys did it live.
@@RobbieFitzgeraldor do they need 2 vocalists for every song? 😎 (Not saying they do, just that your comment begs the question) EDIT: it does seem that one of the two main vocalists does the main "gritty" moments and the other does the smoother bits .
My god, there is no way I could sit through that performance. I’d be on my feet and acting like I was 18 again - bloody awesome. RIP Meat, you were a huge part of my teenage years ya legend.
The problem I often have with Meat Loaf covers is that most people that I see do them are just singing the songs. Very few capture the raw power and emotion of Meat Loaf's voice. This cover did it right. So much oomph behind the vocals. These are songs that were written like an opera. Each one is a play just as much as a song. It's not just words. It's a role. You have to put the emotion into it, and these singers did that so well. If you couldn't tell, I'm a huge Meat Loaf fan.
@@musicfixed6951 Well they are a general cover band, not a Meatloaf tribute band, so I think they did pretty well. And lets be honest who is out there that could realistically recreate the sheer power in Meatloaf's voice.
RIP Jim Steinman. We'll miss you dearly. You wrote all of Bat Out of Hell and Hell II, not to mention all the great singles from Bonnie Tyler, Celine Dion and more.
I’m 52 and almost choked up watching this. This is how a Meatloaf song should be done. These guys really honored him with this version and the orchestra. Where can I see more of this band?
I simply cannot imagine a better performance of this Steinman/Meatloaf Masterpiece, and by a mile this is my favorite online! It is just EPIC in every way from the incredible, world class musicianship to the perfect vocal performance. It wouldn't surprise me at all if nothing was even touched up in post production. I always watch this if I need a lift in my spirits and it never fails! Bravo and standing ovation!
I wasn't sure if anyone could recreate that sound and was a lil cautious about this video, but I checked the comments to see if it was worth it. You made your case, and goddamn was it worth it. Abso-fucking-lutely *killed* it. I'm still wiping away tears.
The mere fact that they needed two lead singers to accomplish what meat loaf was capable of doing on his own is a testament to how talented he really was. I'm ashamed my generation doesn't truly recognize the greatness that is meat loaf.
They are both AMAZING..... I saw Ricardo Afonso (second lead singer) in We Will Rock You in London. Both lead singers have got STUNNING voices and both very pleasing to the eye.... ;-)
Still listening this one a few times a week. Just can't get enough. Genius! The people who heard that live are blessed.... So sad the shows are not in the Netherlands 😭
You're not the only one! I saw this live by Meat himself, twelve times in Ireland from 1990 to 2013. This is the ultimate cover song! The passion is there, all of it!
Ook ik luister deze opname regelmatig terug. Ben niet van de gemiddelde coverbands maar dit overstijgt zelfs live het origineel. Ook groot fan van Jess Harwood!
They also had the best line up they've ever had. Don't know how many times I've just sought this performance over and over again through the years. Outstanding. Each one.
I saw them last night and after seeing live music for nearly 40 years I can honestly say they are some of the best musicians I have seen, every song was note perfect and they had so much energy.
Never been into rock or Meat Loaf in particular, but this completely turned me around. Have been watching this vid at least 50 times and it only gets better every time.
I just stumbled on this - Bat Out of Hell is my favorite album - i wore it out in my teens-- i know every minute detail of the entire album. This performance just blew me away. Absolute musical perfection and presentation. Meatloaf and Jim would be proud. Bravo !!!
It's unbelievable how spot on those great musicians really ware and how professional at the same time... I am still astonished how fresh and lively these guys sound today ... And it certainly goes for all them - sound quality top as well 💪🤓😻
So brilliant it ALMOST goes beyond belief! However to fully recognize Meats natural talent, it took TWO wonderful singers to superbly cover this song from the 1970s. A GOLDEN ERA for rock and roll. Great to see that this style of music NEVER DIES! FACT. 😁🤣👍
They are both brilliant singers and I think either of them could have sung it on their own - they have powerful voices - but they were able to use them both because they were both there! Who wouldn't want to sing this unforgettable song in their positions? I'm a big meat-loaf fan too, by the way.
This particular Classic Rock Show band line up is outstanding. Outstanding drummer for flawless timing; the frontmen; the two keyboard virtuosos- one older one younger; the lone lady Jess and not least the two leads and one bass. I think their unassaiability is their musicianship. Howie left later & that's a sadness the band could have done without. Even though, director James Cole is an outstanding leader. There are another one or two we're still to see and hear - doing WHO & Freddy Merc' s Raphsody and even the elderly gentleman in front doing a line of Daltry.....brilliant covers band. Possibly best I've ever heard.
I just love people's stories glued to music rock and roll. Is like reading brothers and sisters. It gives true meaning to all of this. Music lover till death. When I die I wanna be a chord.
Of all of the covers that I have watched form these folks, this is my favorite. This is an extremely ballsey song to attempt and they did a great job. It isn't just the Meat parts, it is the Steinman parts. In every one of their covers, it is this keyboardist that is invariably spot on. This is great. I love this song and I have since 1977 when my brother brought it home form the record (yes record) store.
“Then like a sinner before before the gates of heaven I’ll come crawling back to you”. Beautiful lyrics by Jim Steinman I love that breakdown it touches my soul RIP MEATLOAF and JIM STEINMAN THANK YOU
I wish Meat was still alive to see and hear this, he would be banging his head and becoming a fan as well. OMGGGGGGGG, Yas killed it. I am currently on my knees bowing and worshipping you all.
I’ve watched this cover many times and still amazes me how good it is ,intact I’d go as far to say it’s as good as the original,very talented musicians
Stumbled into this one after watching the original live performance by Meat Loaf on the day of his passing. Wow, just wow. Incredible performance of each single musican. This cover can't be better, so much dedication, I am in awe, best cover ever
As a major Meat Loaf fan from the 70’s, I freaking LOVE this version! They do a great job! I will just say with a wink and a smile that they have two singers to take on the job of the original Meat! 😜
Had never heard this song all the way through before I discovered 'The Classic Rock Show'. Now I play this song and the rest of the show all the time. It's brilliant.
Brits are fortunate to enjoy the talent of "The Classic Rock Show" live while we here in Ontario, Canada are blessed with "Classic Albums Live". So much music, so many talented singers & musicians. Thank you, thank you.
I am an unreserved straitlaced 'old git'. This song, its original and this cover, are exceptional pieces of music. This is what stirs the blood, ignites (or re-ignites) the fires and opens up the world. This is immortal MUSIC.
As a lifelong Meat Loaf fan I never thought I'd see a version that came close to the passion and energy from the big man, but this was absolutely fantastic, totally does it justice.
The fact that they needed 2 vocalists to cover this as well as they did just emphasises the incredible vocal range Meatloaf (RIP) had. Absolute Legend. Fantastic energy in this cover and the twin guitarists were absolutely 'on point'
yes but my got they are amazing
Best cover of the song I've heard and I'm a die hard Meatloaf fan since 1977. Of course not many bands had the nerve to even try to cover this song even in a studio and these guys did it live.
The contrast of the two voices is great though
They dont "need 2 vocalists". The 2 guys take turns in all of the songs and some of the others sing too. Thats just how the band works.
@@RobbieFitzgeraldor do they need 2 vocalists for every song? 😎 (Not saying they do, just that your comment begs the question)

same...57 here.
I have seen videos of a few of their shows. Some audiences seem to go right off - And others are like this............Dont understand it.
❤❤
Certain venues don’t allow you to get up onto your feet (i.e. Sheffield City Hall) is one of them@@glenchapman3899
I was, had to apologise straight away to those behind saying “you can’t sit down to this one”. They didn’t, and I seen the man about 20 times!
For those coming to check if the new version is better I guess you will agree that this is the best
by some distance, bring back Howie G.
@@GeordieGuitarGuy, without a doubt, I think this line up was the best
Agree 100% this is the best version. This lineup had some amazing chemistry it seems

You Are so right
Preach, said it all about the great Meat Loaf!
Yep they managed to take all the life out of the song
@@musicfixed6951 Well they are a general cover band, not a Meatloaf tribute band, so I think they did pretty well. And lets be honest who is out there that could realistically recreate the sheer power in Meatloaf's voice.
You took the words right out of my mouth
I've honestly never heard a cover of Bat Out of Hell until now, and I never want to hear another one for the rest of my life. This is perfection
I couldn't have said it better.....this was perfection of a masterpiece!!!!
Ted Finnigan yes it seriously is 👏
You should watch the Bandgeeks!
Amen to that
Go see the musical, it's even better than this
RIP Jim Steinman. We'll miss you dearly. You wrote all of Bat Out of Hell and Hell II, not to mention all the great singles from Bonnie Tyler, Celine Dion and more.
Many good men...
Steinmann even made Air Supply cool! That man was a musical genius!
Don't forget part 3 as well
never even knew he died....one of the greatest song writers ever.
@Alfie and Laynee I hope someone told him and Jim about this awesome cover long before they died. Certainly, a fitting tribute to the artists.
R.i.p. meatloaf. You guys did this song justice and killed it!!👍
This is really good and it's not easy to do
Its brilliant and perfect
The BEST cover I’ve ever heard
And Jim stienman WHO do the music
Rip Meat Loaf and Thank you for all the great music. This is a monster of a cover, awesome done👍
I note, however, that this band needed TWO singers to cover Meat Loaf's vocal range.
Jim Steinman Firts!
@@christiancacibauda5512 I can do it!
Simply put, there are tribute bands and then there's The Classic Rock Show.
This is the greatest and most honoured tribute to Meat Loaf, ever.
Damn straight. Every intonation, every beat every note. Spot on.
I think you are right.
You know you are one hell of a singer when a cover band needs two singers to sing your song the right way
If they don't play at Least, Two or More, Meatloaf Songs at My Funeral, I'm Refusing to Go !!!
I’m 52 and almost choked up watching this. This is how a Meatloaf song should be done. These guys really honored him with this version and the orchestra.
Where can I see more of this band?
This is the bands channel...
I simply cannot imagine a better performance of this Steinman/Meatloaf Masterpiece, and by a mile this is my favorite online!

I am a Meat Loaf fan and can say NEVER THOUGHT ANYONE COULD DO HIS MUSIC. AMAZING. AMAZING THANK YOU.
Candy Benoitbelanger not too many tunes that can send chills down your spine Free Bird is the only other tune
I wasn't sure if anyone could recreate that sound and was a lil cautious about this video, but I checked the comments to see if it was worth it.
You made your case, and goddamn was it worth it.
Abso-fucking-lutely *killed* it. I'm still wiping away tears.

P
Candy Benoitbelanger agreed
hes not that special tho
Ok, I am 62 and generally hate covers because I lived through the originals...
They killed this. Cheers from Toronto. ☮
Yeah...Cheers from Copenhagen..!!
RIP Meatloaf. These guys have made a fitting tribute to your great talent.
The mere fact that they needed two lead singers to accomplish what meat loaf was capable of doing on his own is a testament to how talented he really was. I'm ashamed my generation doesn't truly recognize the greatness that is meat loaf.
They didn't need to - they opted to. Most of the band members are capable of doing lead vocal.
Yes, just like they "need" two lead singers to do lots of their other songs. Like "Jump", for example. They really needed two singers for that one.
Derek Halko it shows how effortlessly Meat Loaf was able to switch tempos on a dime
+MustBeNoodly
thanks for discounting the scientific fact that music these days is way worse than it was a few decades ago
you must be a real cool guy
What fucking nonsense you are talking. Scientific? Fucking idiot.
The two front men singing with so much passion...Fantastic band and show, Just awesome.
Everyone on that stage are talented AF.
They are both AMAZING..... I saw Ricardo Afonso (second lead singer) in We Will Rock You in London. Both lead singers have got STUNNING voices and both very pleasing to the eye.... ;-)
@@F1KillerQueen Yes, pleasing to the ear and eye.
@@SilentHotdog28 very pleasing to the eye
Nobody can match the raw vocal power of meatloaf but this was the best attempt I've ever heard! RIPBrother!
I watch the classic rock show every day while working. Next time I go to England I have to see them live!
Best cover of BAT OUT OF HELL I ever heard. Great band, great voices. A tribute to the master!
First time I've ever heard anyone even attempt a Meatloaf cover and they killed it!
literally
Incredible. The best performance of this song I’ve heard, second only to the loaf!
Most intense performance I've heard in a very long time rips through the soul like a bat out of hell
The world lost a musical lyrical GENIUS, Jiim Stienman. You will be missed
Yep, he will be missed,,R.I.P Meat Loaf too
Steinman was a musical genius and this is possibly the greatest epic rock song ever written. And this was a perfect cover of this.
I refer to Jim as the "Mad Genius". By all accounts he's an odd fellow, but damn, the man can write some great music.
This song’s ability to evoke such strong feelings is remarkable.
Still listening this one a few times a week. Just can't get enough. Genius! The people who heard that live are blessed.... So sad the shows are not in the Netherlands 😭
ben het helemaal met jou eens nobby, geen verkeerde coverband
You're not the only one! I saw this live by Meat himself, twelve times in Ireland from 1990 to 2013. This is the ultimate cover song! The passion is there, all of it!
Idd, zou gelijk kaarten kopen iig
Ja zsm de plas over!

*6:07** Wow! Just wow🔥*
Exactly WTF
Mesmerizing!🤣😆👍🍺
That is one of the most enjoyable 10 mins of my life. Magnificent
R.I.P Jim Steinman... Thank you Jim 🤘🏻 🦇
They also had the best line up they've ever had. Don't know how many times I've just sought this performance over and over again through the years. Outstanding. Each one.
That might be the best cover song I have ever heard in my life. EVER. I am floored.
Whoa! Best non-Meat version I've ever heard!
yes but nothing beat meat singing
Non-Meat? You mean vegetarian? ;)
I like the fact that they are sticking to the original song not trying to change it, shows respect for the writer and singer.
If u haven't already seen it, look up the version from Bat Out Of Hell - The Musical, the lead in that, Andrew Polec, does an amazing rendition of it
@@stacyhutchens2373 Absolutely spot on Stacy.
I have watched this video a hundred times and I never get over how great a job you all did. #amazing
Can't get better than this.Take a bow guys.
This is absolutely the BEST cover I've heard for this song! Actually choked me up. Longtime Meat Loaf fan, part-time pro drummer & keyboard player.
I saw them last night and after seeing live music for nearly 40 years I can honestly say they are some of the best musicians I have seen, every song was note perfect and they had so much energy.
RIP Jim - Thanks for the musical trips to hell and back.
the one and only version I listen to
Being a Meatloaf fan all I can say is "WOW"
I cannot praise this performance enough! It was absolutely incredible!
RIP Mr. Aday. Thank you for the memories.
One of the best songs ever...and you do it...
1 of the great rock ballads... deserves this attention! RIP Meatloaf - before his injury there was no one better! - these guys nailed it!
I have never heard a cover band do a Good Meatloaf cover, let alone Bat Out of Hell!! This group is great!!
Never been into rock or Meat Loaf in particular, but this completely turned me around. Have been watching this vid at least 50 times and it only gets better every time.
What makes them THE BEST COVER BAND is they stay true to the original note for note without adding their own spin.
RIP Jim Steinman... one of the best songs ever... thanks fore all...
Now RIP Meatloaf. He rode out like the Bat out of Hell, he was to those pearly gates.
Holy shit!!! Gioose bumps!!
Must listen to it MANY times.
Aaaahhhhhhhhhh.....
When I went to see the classic rock show this year they performed this song and rrudey dud such a good job of singing in it❤❤❤❤
I just stumbled on this - Bat Out of Hell is my favorite album - i wore it out in my teens-- i know every minute detail of the entire album. This performance just blew me away. Absolute musical perfection and presentation. Meatloaf and Jim would be proud. Bravo !!!
The chap with the beard has got an amazing voice. So much like Meat Loaf
Excellent, I like the two vocalists playing to their strengths. I was ready to say only Meat can do this song but I enjoyed this version.
Japie Duminy , yes but it took two singers to do what Meat could do by himself. Not sure why, other than they’re playing to their strengths alone.
@@doplinger1 But Meatloaf could never do it by himself, either. He needed autotune. Badly.
@@ScrivenerofDoom - I don't believe that for a minute. Where are you getting this information?
@@doplinger1 An interview. Apparently there was only one concert in 1977 or 78 where his voice was able to come close to the produced sound.
@@ScrivenerofDoom - maybe in his later years, but certainly not early on.
It's unbelievable how spot on those great musicians really ware and how professional at the same time... I am still astonished how fresh and lively these guys sound today ... And it certainly goes for all them - sound quality top as well 💪🤓😻
Oh my god, today of all days, I'm crying like a baby. RIP Meat you're a star forever.

Sadly Jim Steinmen passed away this year on April 19th, he was a brilliant musician and songwriter!!
Huge shout out to the musicians, they nailed it!

Wow, these people are really good. Watched a few of their videos now.
Seen "The Classic Rock Show" several times and this was the best lineup.
Best Cover ever done.. Rest my case-:)
OMG! I mean OMG! This was FANTASTIC!!!
Jim Steinman is a genius. I had forgotten how good the bass line in this song is! great cover!!!
This is not just Meat Loaf, It's Sirloin Loaf. Fantastic.
Can't count how many times I've watching this and other videos from the Classic Rock Show! A must see live band
The very best cover - ever. Meatloaf isn't gone, but this is massive respect to a master
Thank you Jim Steinman and Meatloaf for giving us this masterpiece.
“Then like a sinner before before the gates of heaven I’ll come crawling back to you”. Beautiful lyrics by Jim Steinman I love that breakdown it touches my soul RIP MEATLOAF and JIM STEINMAN THANK YOU
I wish Meat was still alive to see and hear this, he would be banging his head and becoming a fan as well. OMGGGGGGGG, Yas killed it. I am currently on my knees bowing and worshipping you all.
Wow. Incredible vocals and spectacular musicianship. Mr. Loaf is smiling.
I’ve watched this cover many times and still amazes me how good it is ,intact I’d go as far to say it’s as good as the original,very talented musicians

THIS KID CAN SING SOLO AND MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF.., FANTASTIC VOICE HE HAS.., ROCK ON KID...!!!!!!!!!!!
Kid???? Which kid? Alphanso is 43 years old..lol...yup he does have an amazing voice.
One of the finest most amazing performances I've ever seen.
Especially from a Cover Band.
Bravo!!!!!
F#cking amazing !! Meatloaf is legend. You all did him proud on this.
that is a ridiculously hard song to pull off in so many ways. awesome!
This performance is so underrated. It’s simply unbelievable the sound on this cover. Grammy deserving performance !
As a major Meat Loaf fan from the 70’s, I freaking LOVE this version! They do a great job! I will just say with a wink and a smile that they have two singers to take on the job of the original Meat! 😜
It just gets better every time I watch👍🥰
Rest in peace Meatoaf. Reunited with Jim to make another Bat Album. Keep em Rockin!
This is so amazing, i´ve listen to this 34 times (or close to) this week. The part from 06:00 is just perfect.
Just bloody freakin awesome .. i swear all the cells in my body where bouncing up and down and having a good time
Every time I watch this, I’m just blown away at the energy and talent. Holy cow, you guys can bring it! Wow!!
Rest Easy Maestro Meatloaf , Maybe Gone..BUT Forever Loved and Forever Rememberd.....
What a professional bunch!!!!
Listening with eyes shut! It's Perfect!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Had never heard this song all the way through before I discovered 'The Classic Rock Show'. Now I play this song and the rest of the show all the time. It's brilliant.

Awesome job !!! Rock and Roll will never die !!! LIVE LIFE LOUD !!!
RIP Meat Loaf. I will always listen to your music! Thanks for your songs!😪
Perfect cover by one of the most brilliant set of muscians I have ever heard live.
This would be in my top 10 of all rock songs
A masterpiece!!
Around 8.50 you can see the backing singer just start floating!
Stunning!
