Stale Loaf shows age at OnCenter

Abstract:
It's official. My mom and Uncle John do a better version of Meat Loaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" than the Loaf himself. And my uncle usually forgets about two-thirds of the words.

The infamously campy singer dropped in on the Syracuse OnCenter last night to promote his latest album, "Bat Out Of Hell III: The Monster is Loose....

This reviewer just wasn't there. The name of Meat's soloist was totally missed, first of all. And I've seen proof that the concert was performed much differently than was stated in this review. This paper should assign reviewers who have some interest in the concert they are attending, at least to get the names of the performers right, if nothing else.

It's true, Meat's voice isn't what it used to be...but the man still puts on a hell of a show. And as Virginia mentioned in another comment, if it's something you're not going to appreciate, maybe you shouldn't be reviewing it. The whole point of any tour is to plug new material, and as a side-line relive the well-worn. If you want nothing but the classics, buy the albums and stay home. While the vocals on the new tracks performed live were a bit hard to make out, you can't deny the music is amazing, and the band is just huge. The arena was rumbling like crazy! ...I'd like to see the reviewer get out there and do what Meat Loaf does...or anybody for that matter.

Dead on.....it appears that this reviewer got his cliff's notes from someone else. Meat's counterpart is "Aspen"....not "Ashley". You're more concerned about Meat "huffing & puffing" than the actual show.....let's see you sing Paradise all the way thru....or at least til the spoken part without being out of breath. Meat songs are not 2 1/2 minutes long as most artist.....all his songs take a lot out of the singer (any singer)....try it.....
