    Well, I wrote AND produced this song and to me you kids are BRILLIANT! Stunning and sensational! You did it COMPLETE which is way harder than it seems, what with all the tempo "changes" etc!! Guitarists are terrific, lead singers are dazzling and drummer is as solid a foundation as you could dream of! I couldn't be prouder of what you amazing kids accomplished here!
    BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!

      ...and there you have it. Jim F'ing Steinman just gave this his signature of approval! They did a great job. Sure he's not Meatloaf, but was Meatloaf singing like he did when he recorded this (or Bat Out of Hell for that matter) at the age of 12...yea didn't think so. Thanks for giving this your thumbs up Jim!!!

    You guys did a great job! The thing that so many people miss on here, is that these are not the professional musicians and they do not need your negativity and criticism. However, they sure are amazing kids who are learning and presenting music in a way that is inspiring to MILLIONS of folks out there. People need to keep the negative remarks at a minimum, if not completely to themselves. Let's not forget, these are children, who have worked their butts off for months learning and perfecting their performance. They deserve your praise and encouragement to continue to pursue their dreams and/or interests. So, from Kala's mom, to all of these talented future stars of this generation, keep it up! You bring me to tears when I listen in and watch you perform. And to all of the folks who feel it's fun to blast away at these kids and their hard work, you need a hug. That is all.

      From a drummer who started playing at the age of 4, I agree with you whole heartedly. I only wish that I could have had this kind of opportunity myself, like Kala and all these other students do. It's great to see them all getting to play through some of the best music that I can remember. There's just not a lot of people to play with or anything like this around Southern IL, but I am glad that it does exist somewhere because it's sad to say, and it makes me feel old at 28, but music is going to hell these days lol.

    I am a diehard MeatLoaf fan. He's my idol. I think these kids did an amazing job. I also love that the lead singer is wearing a white button up shirt with a black vest. In his earlier days, MeatLoaf usually wore something similar onstage. If that was intentional, I have to say great eye for detail.
