Defenders Of The Faith, le forum Metal

RIP. Il y a longtemps qu'il n'avait plus de voix, mais grand bonhomme, surtout aux USA où son album Bat Out Of Hell (1977) est mythique.

Vu ça, encore un covidifié.

On ne sait pas, en fait. Les causes du décès n'ont pas encore été indiquées. Mais c'est probablement le covid ou une crise cardiaque...

Ce qui est certain en revanche, c'est qu'à l'instar d'Eric Wagner qui nous a également quitté récemment, Meat Loaf était ouvertement opposé à toute forme de restriction, masques, vaccins, etc. Il disait préférer mourir (je cite) plutôt que les accepter : https://nypost.com/2022/01/21/meat-loaf ... -covid-19/

Belle carrière et sacré personnage en tout cas, il ne pouvait plus chanter ces derniers temps suite à diverses opérations mais a eu son heure de gloire.
Alice Cooper vient de lui rendre hommage :

Cooper: "Meat Loaf was one of the greatest voices in Rock N Roll, and he was certainly one of my closest friends in the business. He was really so much fun, truly fun to be around. He just felt like a best friend to everyone no matter how long it had been since you last saw him.

We worked together many times over the years and he was always a force. He was a real theatrical character like I was, so our shows went really well together. I remember when you would see his show, he would treat the audience almost like a Pentecostal Preacher and he was so powerful on stage.

Working with Meat Loaf was one of the main reasons I wanted to do the movie Roadie in the first place - I wanted to watch him show off his acting chops. He plays the ultimate roadie on this quest to be the best in the world. But that’s what he did in life too - he always wanted to be the best at what he was doing… and I think he succeeded.

There was nobody, and I mean nobody like Meat Loaf. His shoes can never be filled."
