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
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)
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.
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!
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.
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
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 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.
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
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!
If they don't play at Least, Two or More, Meatloaf Songs at My Funeral, I'm Refusing to Go !!!
Simply put, there are tribute bands and then there's The Classic Rock Show.
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...
Ok, I am 62 and generally hate covers because I lived through the originals...
They killed this. Cheers from Toronto. ☮
Yeah...Cheers from Copenhagen..!!
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
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.
Candy Benoitbelanger

Candy Benoitbelanger agreed
hes not that special tho
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!
RIP Meatloaf. These guys have made a fitting tribute to your great talent.
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
R.I.P Jim Steinman... Thank you Jim 🤘🏻 🦇
I watch the classic rock show every day while working. Next time I go to England I have to see them live!
I have a much younger girlfriend - I don't think her parents had even met when Bat Out of Hell was released - I try to be humble and not assume that there simply wasn't ever an era for music like 1955-1985. I try to listen to what she likes. But when I hear something like this, I just have to think - I'm sorry - THERE WASN'T AN ERA FOR MUSIC LIKE WHAT WE GREW UP WITH.
First time I've ever heard anyone even attempt a Meatloaf cover and they killed it!
literally
The world lost a musical lyrical GENIUS, Jiim Stienman. You will be missed
Yep, he will be missed,,R.I.P Meat Loaf too
Incredible. The best performance of this song I’ve heard, second only to the loaf!
This song’s ability to evoke such strong feelings is remarkable.
*6:07** Wow! Just wow🔥*
Exactly WTF
Mesmerizing!🤣😆👍🍺
Best cover of BAT OUT OF HELL I ever heard. Great band, great voices. A tribute to the master!
Most intense performance I've heard in a very long time rips through the soul like a bat out of hell
The chap with the beard has got an amazing voice. So much like Meat Loaf
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.
Nobody can match the raw vocal power of meatloaf but this was the best attempt I've ever heard! RIPBrother!
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!
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!
the one and only version I listen to
That might be the best cover song I have ever heard in my life. EVER. I am floored.
What makes them THE BEST COVER BAND is they stay true to the original note for note without adding their own spin.
Best Cover ever done.. Rest my case-:)
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.
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.
That is one of the most enjoyable 10 mins of my life. Magnificent
RIP Jim - Thanks for the musical trips to hell and back.
I have watched this video a hundred times and I never get over how great a job you all did. #amazing
Jim Steinman an Meatloaf would be proud to hear this
Sadly Jim Steinmen passed away this year on April 19th, he was a brilliant musician and songwriter!!
I have never heard a cover band do a Good Meatloaf cover, let alone Bat Out of Hell!! This group is great!!
Can't get better than this.Take a bow guys.
RIP Mr. Aday. Thank you for the memories.
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.
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.
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.
This is not just Meat Loaf, It's Sirloin Loaf. Fantastic.
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.
Being a Meatloaf fan all I can say is "WOW"
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❤❤❤❤
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.
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!
Thank you Jim Steinman and Meatloaf for giving us this masterpiece.
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.
I cannot praise this performance enough! It was absolutely incredible!
Holy shit!!! Gioose bumps!!
Must listen to it MANY times.
Aaaahhhhhhhhhh.....
There was nobody like Meatloaf. Loved them. They all were great. This group in great as well. Love them. Maybe He Had accepted Christ and never see’s Hell.🙏
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.
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.
Huge shout out to the musicians, they nailed it!
Rest Easy Maestro Meatloaf , Maybe Gone..BUT Forever Loved and Forever Rememberd.....
The very best cover - ever. Meatloaf isn't gone, but this is massive respect to a master
Oh my god, today of all days, I'm crying like a baby. RIP Meat you're a star forever.
OMG! I mean OMG! This was FANTASTIC!!!
Holy crap.. I am a died in the wool Meat loaf fan.. This was awesome.. How have I nopt seen this.. Bloody well done. OK - Just thank you. you guys must be amazing live, .
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.
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.
Wow! Can't understand how the audience sits through this, even though they are most post 50! You guys, nailed it!
Rest in peace Meatoaf. Reunited with Jim to make another Bat Album. Keep em Rockin!
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 !!!
Oh. My. God. Jim Steinman is smiling down from heaven, I'm sure.
He isn't dead......
@@carlking9088 he is now
RIP Meat Loaf. Thank you. 😥😢
For my 16th birthday my parents got me tickets to see this show and man it was one of the coolest concerts I’ve gotten to ever see. My friends and I were the youngest people in the whole building and I sat next to this woman who was about 45 or so and she was so shocked and happy to know people my age at the time still enjoy this old rock and roll. I’ll never forget this show it was awesome. I didn’t even know this song at the time and I was sad that they hadn’t ended with Freebird (which was the song right before BOOH) but years later I realized why this song was the perfect ending.
Wow. Incredible vocals and spectacular musicianship. Mr. Loaf is smiling.
Jim Steinman is a genius. I had forgotten how good the bass line in this song is! great cover!!!
Jim Steinman would be absolutely proud and blown away!
Guys - I'm at your Malvern show this evening - after today's sad news really hope you are able to play this or anyother Meatloaf song tonight
They did - and what a fabulous sendoff
Best ever Classic Rock Show - brilliant 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
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
Can't count how many times I've watching this and other videos from the Classic Rock Show! A must see live band
Just bloody freakin awesome .. i swear all the cells in my body where bouncing up and down and having a good time
The more I watch this, the more convinced I become that using two leads for this performance is a style choice rather than a necessity. Ricardo Afonso could undoubtedly do the vocals for this piece without assistance, but the harmonies between him and Alex Dee, as well as the two of them with Emily Jollands, enhance the piece quite a bit.
I will also mention that there was an old MTV interview where it was mentioned that, even in the original recorded version of Bat Out of Hell with Meat Loaf singing, multiple takes were needed because his ability to hit the final high note was 50/50 at best. Meat Loaf's recorded version is a masterpiece, but it was never something that could be consistently delivered.
Also, The Classic Rock Show clearly knows that, when playing Jim Steinman's music, the piano always leads. Not even the more recent iterations of The Neverland Express remembers this, and it detracts from those live performances.
The Classic Rock Show's recording here is nothing short of magnificent.
F#cking amazing !! Meatloaf is legend. You all did him proud on this.
I Clicked On This By Accident Looking For More Meatloaf ....... But ..... THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING ! Great Vocals But Meatloaf ... IS THE SHOW ! lol
One of the finest most amazing performances I've ever seen.
Especially from a Cover Band.
Bravo!!!!!
This would be in my top 10 of all rock songs
Seen "The Classic Rock Show" several times and this was the best lineup.
“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
Wow, these people are really good. Watched a few of their videos now.
Just imagine Meat Loaf singing songs like this one ON HIS OWN, singing his lungs out for forty years with some help in the duets, but never in his non-duet songs. He was and is a true legend, and as a fan I find it hard to listen to this version where two male vocalists have to split the song up because otherwise they wouldn't have a voice left at the end of the song. Still, a reasonably nice tribute to the timeless music of Jim and Meat.... ;-)
Its also about the range of the singing too. Here we have one guy handling the higher notes and one handling the lower notes. In the original one guy does all the singing and has that mesmerising presence of a true frontman into the bargain. Makes you realise how good Meat is / was.
Wow. Easily the best Meat Loaf cover ever. I was fortunate enough to see him live a couple times. Nothing really compares, but this comes pretty close.
He ay have left us but the music he left behind will always be timeless. Rest in Peace Meat, we're gonna miss you dearly here ya Bat Outta Hell!
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! 😜
This performance is so underrated. It’s simply unbelievable the sound on this cover. Grammy deserving performance !
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 💪🤓😻
He sang this in London last Tuesday, absolutely fantastic!
hes dead like 5 years ago
What a professional bunch!!!!
