I cant think of no bigger tribute to Meat Loaf knowing younger generations will carry on the legacy. Meat would have been proud, RIP
It’s 2024. First time I have ever seen this. Tremendous.
This is not an easy song to perform. It takes a lot of coordination, concentrations, and showmanship. These kids nailed it. It was a lot of fun to watch it. Thanks kids for keep on rocking!
Plus there are many chord changes and a zillion lyrics to remember
I wonder if the kids REALLY understood the sexual innuendo and symbolism of the lyrics......doesn't matter, the performance is EXCELLENT......Ellen Foley and Meat ( R.I.P ) say " you better sing, kids ! ".......
You took the words right out of my mouth.....no sexual implication implied.
This was an OUTSTANDING performance! They really captured the theatrics of the song. This could only be done by the best of the best!
For perspective, Meatloaf's longtime touring pianist was Tom Brislin who also played with Blondie, Renaissance, YES, and now with Kansas.
That young lady filled some really big shoes here 👍
Wtf… Best cover I’ve seen in the history of covers.
These kids are great actors as well as singers, to play the parts the way it should be done.
Excellent performance. The drummer doesn't miss a beat. School of Rock rocks!
its the fantastic drummer that holds the whole thing together
Agree 100%, standout job by the drummer throughout this highly varied song. Awesome drum work was what made me really start to pay attention, but whole performance was fantastic IMO.
I saw Meatloaf perform this and wore out the album, yah, I’m that old, this performance is spot on, both theatrically and musically! Great Job! Nailed it!
Old guy here.....OMG (my daughter taught me that)...That was freaking awesome!!!!
Hello from down-under fantastic effort by the young band, saw Meatloaf whenever in Australia combined with Jim Steinman blew our socks off in the 70's which left us always wanting more. I have listened and appreciated the School of Rock performers doing many covers and they are all young professional musicians and I will continue to listen often to any I find. Bravo
You guys Killed it. Excellent job...I am 62 and loved it, with headphones on cranked full
Of all of the school of Rock bands I have watched this particular group seemed to me to be the best by far especially with the fine vocals. Instrumentally they were great!
Fantastic. Outstanding. What a performance. Worthy of Broadway. And when they are done they just modestly leave the stage when they deserved a standing ovation.
The dark haired young man is a very good actor.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 It shows. And props to the kid who did Rizzuto's part.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2There was definitely "chemistry"! 👍
I have watched hours of SOR videos and this is perhaps the best I have viewed to this point.
Meat Loaf must see this, will be proud of it!
RIP .. Meatloaf ... you'll be missed by many
Wow…..that is the best cover version of this song I have ever heard. It was so raw and the tempo was full gas.
I saw Meat Loaf on tour 7 years ago. Today I watched what could have been that show. The energy, the singing and playing were strong. Gotta love the Baseball guy. ( June 6, 2021 ) Be well all and stay safe.
OK these people were having FUN and did a GREAT job! I've been a musician since 17 and now 65. Have FUN and do it!
I've probably listened to this 50 times. Its by far the best video I've seen. Great work. Classic.
amazing cover great job everyone
This was almost as good as the real thing, great job and keep it up!
What a fantastic job by some talented students!!!
I love that they added the performance that is synonymous with live performances of this song. So many leave it out. I knew a girl in college who referred to Meatloaf as "show tunes." Needless to say she didn't get it. And ironically I was just a fan of theater and yet she was in stage productions.
It's satisfying to see the kids of today (at the schools of rock) rocking out to the classic tunes of yesterday of when I was growing up. Well done!.
It literally brought tears (of joy) to my eyes. This is NOT an easy song to perform! (Duh, it's Jim Steinman) Kudos to all concerned!
Love the big guy in the sport coat, nailed the play by play!
The sports commentator part was awesome and the couple gave a great performance instead of just standing and singing
miconis123 The guy has studied acting and would always incorporate it into his performances.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 I would love to know whether these guys followed a career in music. The four main vocalists are stunning.
Total magic. What a performance! The girls harmony vocals were spot on. I think they both have a big future ahead of them. Possibly in the theater.
I had to come back and watch this a second time and wanted to say that I loved seeing the backup band getting into it during the sports commentator part. You can feel their enjoyment
Still a great performance. Hope they are all still into music.
Remember, kids, this song is a cautionary tale.
Ms Guido does a great job in her role, playing the woman to which the young man should say no. I hope there are big things in her future. She is a great performer
You prolly dont care but if you're bored like me atm then you can watch all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend recently xD
@Anson Gabriel Yup, I have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself =)
Wow! That was amazing! Great tribute to Meat Loaf! May he RIP.
I do not know any other adult who gets this song let alone some youngsters. Outstanding performance. Bravo!!
Her expression at 6:45 is priceless. She obviously has some musical theater ability. Looks like they are having a lot of fun. Dude’s tie has it’s own impressive performance.
The best performance of that one, not done by Meatloaf. Ever. Period.
this was great. pretty much nailed it. special shout out to the piano player as well! also, the baseball play by play :)
this is the best cover of this song i've seen. they totally get the gritty raunchy energy and angst. 6:15 love the blond girl dancing with a scowl lol
They play this like they all have rounded the bases. Perfection!
Great job all!! Mix is nice, vocals in front, excellent keyboards, drums feel effortless....well done.
Just freakin fabulous! Gives me hope for the younger generation.
Phew! Knocked that one out of the park. Well done!
Bravo!!!! Loved the intensity. Incredibly talented performers
Fantastic!
I cannot believe there is only 322 likes this performance is outstanding they really studied this song Meatloaf would be proud congrats to all who took part in this ❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
This is professional quality. Really good. Love the energy
This was the best group performance of all the School Of Rock videos I’ve seen. Outstanding!!
Not only did the performers knock it out of the park but have to give kudos to everyone involved. Sound, video, and everyone working behind the scenes to make a show like this what it was. Bravo!!
Before I really started getting into this song I was following it very closely. These people didn't miss a beat throughout the entire song, I was wondering how they were going to pull off certain parts, and they did everything all themselves. You people are fantastic
That soooo rocked, brought back many memories !!!
Damn' they made this song their's...(Awesome rendition)!😀😝👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I am putting this performance on endless loop/repeat.
The piano player, drummer, and singer in the blue shirt really carried this
great cover thanks :)
Just found this. Awesome JOB. Very much in the spirit of original. Excellent work!!!
Oh man...outstanding! 6 years back but ...Thank you!
I videoed several years of these kids growing and performing, and I'm incredibly proud of them.
Excellent - great energy, vocals and acting. well done
If I had five, ten, more likes to give this video, I would. This is the best SoR performance that I've watched, and I've watched a lot. Technically sophisticated, tight and hard hitting, rocking and fun - really, if a band of long-time adult musicians rocked this hard together, they'd be high pro-level (nationally known maybe?).
Fantastic. Must be so exciting to really just have achieved the skill to play something like this and then be in with a bunch of other talented kids and proper equipment and mixing. To complement any one member would be to detract from the fact that they had this as an ensemble like nothing I've seen in SOR yet.
Such talented people 😃
Ive watched a lot of these school of rock videos and this performance is clearly the best. Everything from the singing, musicianship and performance is top notch. Besides those chosen to be all-stars I've always wondered how the kids are grouped together and the songs they sing are chosen. Cant wait to see more (especially Lauren).
I'm friends with a couple of the AllStars directors, and from what I understand it goes like this:
A student who wants to try out for AllStars has to have been going to the school for three years, has to be a member of their local school's "House Band" (that gigs around town) and have a recommendation from their local school's Music Director. They then submit a five minute video explaining why they want to do this, their School of Rock career (including mentoring other kids) and playing portions of two songs - one from one of the classic rock bands (usually Led Zeppelin) and one of their choosing.
The ones that pass the first level are invited to regional live auditions. This lets the AllStars directors see how they work in a band and get more of an idea of their chops and personalities.
There is a third level audition, where (again this is second hand information) the bands are assembled by each director. The kids who don't pass the third level audition will usually go onto other tours, like the Summertour, and playing at Summerfest.
In 2014, the selection process was different, being grouped regionally - five of these musicians were from the Chicago School of Rock, one from Kansas City and I'm not sure where the other three came from.
I don't envy the AllStars directors their job - any kid who gets to the second level is going to be a very good musician, and the third level are going to be amazing. It has to be very difficult to choose.
Awesome! Thank you for that information. I would love to catch one of their live shows someday.
You may be able to! Here's the link for the AllStars tour dates - there might be one near you: www.schoolofrock.com/allstars2017
this is absolutely outstanding. I love the vibe on the stage too. I have been in a lot of bands and takes years to get to that level and these "Kids" do it like they have known each other since birth.
The AllStars are assembled from various School of Rock locations, but some schools are so exceptional that they produce multiple AllStars. In this case the two vocalists, the drummer, the lead guitarist and the announcer were all from the Chicago location, so they knew each other. But the bassist was from Kansas City, and you know how vital it is for a drummer and bassist to meld and they managed to do that over three days of rehearsal.
Freakin great cover! Best I've heard. My tour leaves in a week and I'm so excited!!
Great job and the eye candy is nice too
Everyone did so well but the guy with the blue shirt especially had a great energy about his performance in the first part. Love him.
He's been an actor since he was a kid, so he brings that same commitment to the performance that Meatloaf did.
RIP Jim steinman.
I agree, his blond cohort who does backup is excellent too. They all are! They so nailed it, I don't think anyone could do a better cover of this song.
Absolutely killed it! Amazed. Inspired.
So good
I saw Meatloaf perform live in the early-mid 2000's. He had a young woman doing this tune with him, which made it weird. Someone in the audience said it was his daughter, which made it really weird. This performance is right up there in quality (not in weirdness). Everyone was great! Special shoutout to drums and keyboards. Good job
This was the best all rounded performance so far, the vocals were as strong as the band.
Back then, the AllStars were regional, and three of the singers were from the same school, so they had sung together for years.
You are all so fantastic. Now I understand the song ;-)
I _love_ Meatloaf, but damn that was good, not just the music and the singing, but the theatre too - perfomers whose age closely aligns with the lyrics really made this a powerful performance.
All three singers are from the same School of Rock location, so they've been singing together for a long time. The dark haired young man is an actor, and is currently going to college and teaching singing and keyboards at The Chicago School of Rock.
That girl on the piano has the foundation for this song with the drummer. She rocks! This is really well done it is hard to not call out who is the best. That blond hair girl can sing.
Roy Bittan did piano on the original record, Max Weinberg was on drums, both of E Street band fame. The two kids in this video more than held their own!
@@robertsevers6251 Tom Brislin of Yes and Kansas was Meat's live pianist for quite a while. Big shoes to fill!
Excellent! the guy has a good voice and so do the two blonde girls and meat loaf on the left too
miguelporraz The guy is Jason Krause from the Chicago School of Rock. Not just a great singer, but an amazing performer.
Unreal... absolutely unreal.
Doing Meatloaf, now that is talent!
oh my god. I've been impressed by this performance from the beginning. 4:11 I thought wow he's getting a bit close... 4:17 I realise she's not only singing but acting the role, they both are. He wasn't getting "a bit close" they're performing the song completely. It's one thing to play an instrument, but to sing well like this and play the role... the stage is complete. between them, they all nailed it... but she's extra phenomenal... just that extra % that makes the difference in being cast in a role.
Awesome job. Sounds great 👍
Nice job! Saw Meatloaf in the 80’s
This is so fantastic! The singers are great and so wonderfully expressive. My hat is off to the videographer who made each player and interchange look perfect!!!
Thank you.
The singers miss too many notes
@@johnsebastian2589 I I don't have the ear to notice that sort of thing. Could the same be said of Meatloaf, or is that an observation of something that should not happen?
WOW! That was Amazing. ALL STARS is right. This was a great performance. I loved it and really enjoyed it. That was something special. Good job on keeping the integrity of the original. Everyone of you did more than try your best you all achieved greatness.
The male lead has been an actor for many years, so he brought that to the performance as well.
excellent... keep rocking and keep those songs alive... thanks....
Like many folks these days, I have thousands of songs a click away, and great equipment on which to hear top quality recordings. But what’ve I come back to three or four times now? Kids on UA-cam playing a cover. :-) ;-)
But that’s OK, because they are THAT good! I hope everybody in this band is still playing music, and OP thanks for sharing.
Glad to help! I know the male singer. Jason Krause, is teaching at the Chicago School of Rock and is pursuing a career in music. The guitarist Algren Rogers is also teaching.
Brilliant must have taken a lot of rehearsal great performance by the singers and the musicians one of the best performances I've heard since meatloaf.
Bravo! Brings back my highschool memories of the eighties! Great job guys!
What a great cover of this classic song, these guys should win whatever it is if they win something. Awesome!!
IRnative Being selected as an AllStar is the honor - the tour is the victory lap. This year's AllStars are receiving their notifications today, and will be going on tour in July. Come see a show!
Just can't get over this
It is great. The lead singers are really good. I've seen the studio versions of the Too l songs, they are great too ,but this is exceptional. Thanks for posting. Great work.
Think they're actually better than the original...
@@WillCrawford0 I agree. After watching this video, I watched Meatloaf doing the song and you are correct.
@@WillCrawford0 I also agree -- this is spectacular
Man I could swear that I was listening to Meatloaf wow NAILED IT ladies and gentlemen.
Guess you haven't heard the song for over 30 years
@@donaldjz what does that mean I'm lost?
They are Great!
Fantastic performance! Eclipses the energy of the original, which is saying a lot
It's even more credible when the male and female leads on the song are 17.
Fantastic job!
That was utterly fantastic. You guys keep going, you're awesome. Dusty in here.....
Edward McAlister Thanks on their behalf. I love shooting the AllStars shows, and have a whole bunch of complete ones here on my channel.
Awesome good and beautiful good energy
AWESOME THANKYOU. that was brilliant.
This rips. Love it.
These kids are great I love this song then they are doing a great job I love it
DAMN! That was great! Kids are awesome!
I'm so glad you liked it. These are incredibly talented young musicians and singers.
Love it!
Great job!!!!
Well done and what an effort 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😉
