Meatloaf blows everyone away with his rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner in 1994

[ailsagirl]

Meat Loaf, a Grammy-Award winning artist, took the stage accompanied by the 1994-1995 Penn State ROTC Color Guard. He delivered the most breathtaking performance. So much so that to this day it is still considered one of the best renditions of "Star-Spangled Banner" ever!

I had no idea he was such a fantastic singer!!!!

1. His voice didnt age very well

[Marie Marie]

7. Always a classic.

And Romney trying so hard not to look horrified. I did like some of his music way back but this was too funny.

[Aristus]

2. 1994 is when I saw Meatloaf at The Gorge in Eastern Washington,

touring to promote his album Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell.

Incredible concert, and he was in good voice that night.

Say what you will about him, he's a gifted entertainer...

3. I thought because of his name he was kind of a joke

Wrong again!

[Aristus]

4. Not at all. His voice (at least as it was in the '70's)

allied with the theatrical songs by Jim Steinman, with their all-or-nothing, now-or-never, do-or-die quality, has rocked several generations of concert goers.

Saw him again at a local casino about five years ago., His voice was gone...

5. That's too bad

Well, he certainly did sparkle in his heyday

Have a great week, Aristus!

[Aristus]

6. You too!

[Sophia4]

8. He had some serious training. Could have been a church choir director or something

more. Listen to his vowel sounds. And he produces the tone with his breath.

Good singing.

9. A hell of a lot better than Rosanne!

I read an article about him in Jan Rolling Stone Mag.

10. He sold 80+ million records and

Won a Grammy Award for "Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance" some years ago.

But the huge negative for me is that he's supported Republican candidates. I used to like some of his work.

11. Meatloaf is a MAGAt

You all know that, right?

12. Total RW for years

What next here -some Lee greenwood love ?

13. Yes. that was a beautiful rendition. Too bad Meatloaf...

became such a Trump-loving MEATHEAD.
