Meat Loaf "Bat Out of Hell" performed by The Classic Rock Show 

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'

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.

For those coming to check if the new version is better I guess you will agree that this is the best

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.

Simply put, there are tribute bands and then there's The Classic Rock Show.

R.i.p. meatloaf. You guys did this song justice and killed it!!👍

This is the greatest and most honoured tribute to Meat Loaf, ever.

If they don't play at Least, Two or More, Meatloaf Songs at My Funeral, I'm Refusing to Go !!!

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.

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

Rip Meat Loaf and Thank you for all the great music. This is a monster of a cover, awesome done👍

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?

I am a Meat Loaf fan and can say NEVER THOUGHT ANYONE COULD DO HIS MUSIC. AMAZING. AMAZING THANK YOU.

First time I've ever heard anyone even attempt a Meatloaf cover and they killed it!

RIP Meatloaf. These guys have made a fitting tribute to your great talent.

Ok, I am 62 and generally hate covers because I lived through the originals... They killed this. Cheers from Toronto. ☮

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!

The two front men singing with so much passion...Fantastic band and show, Just awesome.

Most intense performance I've heard in a very long time rips through the soul like a bat out of hell

Incredible. The best performance of this song I’ve heard, second only to the loaf!

The world lost a musical lyrical GENIUS, Jiim Stienman. You will be missed

That might be the best cover song I have ever heard in my life. EVER. I am floored.

R.I.P Jim Steinman... Thank you Jim 🤘🏻 🦇

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 😭

Best cover of BAT OUT OF HELL I ever heard. Great band, great voices. A tribute to the master!

*6:07** Wow! Just wow🔥*

I have never heard a cover band do a Good Meatloaf cover, let alone Bat Out of Hell!! This group is great!!

What makes them THE BEST COVER BAND is they stay true to the original note for note without adding their own spin.

Being a Meatloaf fan all I can say is "WOW"

That is one of the most enjoyable 10 mins of my life. Magnificent

1 of the great rock ballads... deserves this attention! RIP Meatloaf - before his injury there was no one better! - these guys nailed it!

The chap with the beard has got an amazing voice. So much like Meat Loaf

Whoa! Best non-Meat version I've ever heard!

I cannot praise this performance enough! It was absolutely incredible!

I have watched this video a hundred times and I never get over how great a job you all did. #amazing

RIP Jim Steinman... one of the best songs ever... thanks fore all...

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.

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.

Can't get better than this.Take a bow guys.

RIP Jim - Thanks for the musical trips to hell and back.

Jim Steinman an Meatloaf would be proud to hear this

Steinman was a musical genius and this is possibly the greatest epic rock song ever written. And this was a perfect cover of this.

This is not just Meat Loaf, It's Sirloin Loaf. Fantastic.

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.

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.

Jim Steinman is a genius. I had forgotten how good the bass line in this song is! great cover!!!

RIP Mr. Aday. Thank you for the memories.

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

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.

Huge shout out to the musicians, they nailed it!

the one and only version I listen to

Best Cover ever done.. Rest my case-:)

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.

The very best cover - ever. Meatloaf isn't gone, but this is massive respect to a master

Best ever Classic Rock Show - brilliant musicians!

Holy shit!!! Gioose bumps!! Must listen to it MANY times. Aaaahhhhhhhhhh.....

What a professional bunch!!!!

One of the finest most amazing performances I've ever seen. Especially from a Cover Band. Bravo!!!!!

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

Thank you Jim Steinman and Meatloaf for giving us this masterpiece.

This is the single greatest thing I've ever seen in my whole entire life

OMG! I mean OMG! This was FANTASTIC!!!

This song’s ability to evoke such strong feelings is remarkable.

Wow. Incredible vocals and spectacular musicianship. Mr. Loaf is smiling.

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.

This performance is so underrated. It’s simply unbelievable the sound on this cover. Grammy deserving performance !

Wow! Can't understand how the audience sits through this, even though they are most post 50! You guys, nailed it!

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! 😜

I'm impressed . I'm a Meat Loaf fan and they nailed it.👍👍👍👍👍

Wow, these people are really good. Watched a few of their videos now.

Can't count how many times I've watching this and other videos from the Classic Rock Show! A must see live band

Oh my god, today of all days, I'm crying like a baby. RIP Meat you're a star forever.

As a lifelong Meat Loaf fan I never thought I'd see a version that came close to the passion and energy from the big man, but this was absolutely fantastic, totally does it justice.

Nice to hear old meats old song in new performance.It is good to hear that his legace lives on.

RIP Meat Loaf. Thank you. 😥😢

This is so amazing, i´ve listen to this 34 times (or close to) this week. The part from 06:00 is just perfect.

When these guys do a cover, they do it to the max. Like others have said, Meat Loaf's vocals take some covering; but they did it well. The band are awesome too; not a word I use often.

WHY WASN'T I THERE!!?!! I AM A BIG MEATLOAF FAN AND IT WAS RIGHT NEAR WHERE I LIVE!!! Although this is the greatest version of the greatest song, and it was on a video so I'm happy

Oh. My. God. Jim Steinman is smiling down from heaven, I'm sure.

Seen "The Classic Rock Show" several times and this was the best lineup.

I saw Meatloaf back in 83 (Cornish Meatloaf, St Ives) and that intro was spot on.

It's my first time hearing this being covered. I'm not even a fan of the song yet it's still sending chills down my spines.

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.

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❤❤❤❤

This would be in my top 10 of all rock songs

Your covers are all brilliant. You play them so respectfully to the original, sometimes better than the original artists play them now!

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 !!!

One of the best songs ever...and you do it...

went to see these guys last night in Harrogate pure brilliance,professional and nothing short of perfection ,my wife even enjoyed them and she hates rock music keep on rocking this won't be the last time I see you live ,frustrated drummer

Bat out of Hell rocketed to the top of the charts in Australia before any other country took notice.

THIS KID CAN SING SOLO AND MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF.., FANTASTIC VOICE HE HAS.., ROCK ON KID...!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT job! Brought tears to my eyes. I can still remember so many of my high school classmates bringing this epic album to school (we lent and/or traded albums with friends in the hallways and lunch room) back in the late 70's, when I was a high school student in New Jersey. You could tell which albums were epic just by seeing how many copies were being carried around with text books! R.I.P. Meat Loaf... your music lives on!

Great job Classic Rock crew! Monster musicians all!

The best cover band ever...!!!

Had never heard this song all the way through before I discovered 'The Classic Rock Show'. Now I play this song and the rest of the show all the time. It's brilliant.

Jim Steinman would be absolutely proud and blown away!

The only ten minute song that makes me say: "It's over already?"

i gotto see this live! awesome performance.

Rest in peace Meatoaf. Reunited with Jim to make another Bat Album. Keep em Rockin!

Listening with eyes shut! It's Perfect!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
