I’m a massive Meat Fan, seen him live 14 times, so it takes a lot for me to like a cover! But I have to say this was brilliant ❤

Best vocal performance I've heard from Darren, and that's a high bar!!! Great job SingIt Live!!

One word....SUPERB!

[@kencanning5069]

I agree, I have heard Darren sing so many other songs so well but I still kind of was curious who would be singing this and once he started the first words of the song I'll I could say was wow wow wow he really outdone himself every time he sings I can't get enough of this band

[@chucksgarage7165]

He has an awesome voice!

[@dalehawkins.8102]

yes - his best vocal yet!

[@rogerbanderson]

Agreed. this was beautiful

[@code3animalrescue]

Absolutely INCREDIBLE!! WOW! Simply amazing cover!

[@waynestinyworld]

I worked in the '80s music industry with lots of big named bands. I've also followed Darren from the beginning....THE beginning. Needless to say I have heard many great performances from him and the talented people around him. I never thought that I would say this and I've even made fun of people that have made this comment, but this is the first cover I have ever heard that I honestly believe is better than the original to my ears. Well done Darren and the entire group because the sound was a team effort. Darren, your vocals were unbelievably good. I felt it!

[@singitliveworld]

Thanks Wayne 👊🏼

@@TheChristOfRockNRoll Ok you point out some great covered songs there but this a bunch industry people releasing a live recording on you tube with a bare bones band and group . The performances on this one take are perfect by all . Listen to the vocal work . My God Melissa's voice took this to another place . The songs you mention were all produced by top industry producers and musicians in studios . The performance here is phenomenal . Darren and the band f##king nailed it 110 % and thats coming from a big Meat loaf , Steinman , Rundgren Fan . I have listened to it around six times already . In my opinion this song is better than any of the songs you mentioned and from one of the biggest selling albums of all time .

I LOVE this song. But fuc* me, the lead vocalist on the Piano, Darren Mullan, deserves a Gold Medal for his rendition of this absolute blinder of a song. Perfect Tone, Perfect Pitch, just PERFECT! This rendition gave me Goose Bumps!

This is the first "Singit Live" video I saw and why I subscribed. Awesome cover of one of my favorite artists.

It's all been said below.... a mind blowing rendition

[@muelk67mueller70]

The lead singer / pianist sounds like Meatloaf did in his prime (late 1970s). Meatloaf’s vocals are rangey and powerful - not easy to sing - but this singer made it sound easy. That’s talent.

[@anzeboy1]

The BEST Meatloaf cover I’ve ever heard. This just blew me away. Much appreciated Darren

@John Adams I do not agree, sorry. Meatloaf had an intensity, authenticity, immediacy, a depth of emotion that is not present in this version. After all, he was a bat outta hell. No one does Meatloaf better than Meatloaf, in my opinion. But, a very excellent cover here.

Darren you sound just like Meatloaf here. Took me back to Nov 93 at the Tower Theater in Philly. My wife and I just got married and we used to drive around to Paradise but at this concert this became our new song!!! We slow danced at that concert to this song. I’m actually sitting here with a tear in my eye listening to this. You guys knocked it out of the park!!

[@singitliveworld]

Music is so universally powerful to us all. Glad this one touched the right spot Jim🧡

[@bobhalstead4660]

This song was made for you (all of you) Excellent!

[@glennford6797]

I actually cried a tear for Meatloaf. This is music that moves you. As always, a stellar job from all. Especially from Darren. If this doesn’t move you, you aren’t alive.

[@barbarianatgate2000]

I don't think a lot of people realize how difficult it is to not just cover a song, but to truly represent the original artist's delivery. Harder still is to accomplish live what the original artist did over several hours or days in a studio. This is, without doubt, one of the best and most accurate covers I've ever heard. Every tonal inflection, every part covered to perfection. I've played professionally for 28 years and had some great bands, but nothing even close to this. What a pleasure to listen to.

[@FireStormZA]

I'm not a musician but agree with you 100%. Amazing stuff, thanks guys!

[@engine22emt]

Just an FYI it’s a known fact that meatloaf did every recording one and done

[@engine22emt]

I’m just gonna say this The back up singer She is amazing absolutely perfect every single note

[@barbarianatgate2000]

@engine22emt Interesting. I never really heard that, but I also can't find anything on it in terms of articles or studio stories. What I will say is that, like many artists I've seen, Meatloaf kind of stunk live. It was a great stage show, but the quality of his vocals was awful. The same was true when I saw CSN, Jack Bruce, The Outfield, and many others. Loved their studio work and performed their songs with bands for years. Saw them live and thought, "I've never been so disappointed! If this band was in a club we walked into, I'd walk back out." That's why I'm always so in awe of a band like this who covers material that isn't theirs and still does the song so well. Saw Leonidas and Friends live (phenomenon Chicago tribute band) and they are a good live as they are in the studio. Was blown away.

[@MattyFitt]

I am literally (nearly) lost for words. Finding it hard to write with this playing for the 4th time. You've always had high standards Darren, but this is next level. Such an emotional song, you and the gang gave it everything. The grand piano suits a grand song. I'm sure you decided the basement wasn't the right setting for this masterpiece. Mel and Cam's vocals just add the right touch to your performance. Mario and Gary sweeten the deal. This deserves world-wide recognition. Thank-you for bringing this to us, from an emotional Matty 🤟

[@Teamcashola]

Bit hard to fit the grand piano in the basement. Great cover.

[@bendrui]

This cover evokes an emotional response in me that the original doesn't. Meatloaf's performances are a bit camp, a touch extra, so I don't take them seriously. However, this cover is absolutely heartbreaking.

[@Sam-ss2lo]

I agree, this one was extra special in every way. I vote for a few more ballads with Darren on lead vocal. Beth from KISS is one that immediately comes to mind.

Haha, I'm sure he was tired of hearing it 👊🏼

[@stumcpherson503]

So he can learn how to sing it in tune??

[@singitliveworld]

In his later years, Michael (Meat Loaf) lost a lot of his hearing and although his voice was stillo strong, could not 'hear' when he was in tune as much as when he was younger. When you can't hear, you can't sing in tune. Still a legend in my opinion 🤘🏼

Quite frankly, Meatloaf’s classic song was one of those that most folks thought could never be covered with anything like the musical magic that it deserves… We were wrong. The outdoor setting, Grand piano and Darren’s voice blend perfectly with the backing vocals and perfect playing by the band - it’s as emotionally moving as the original, which is impressive In itself..! Bravo.

[@strummercash5601]

@Nick Herbert I don’t find this vocal at all as emotional as the original. Meatloaf had more intensity, authenticity, pain and loss in his voice than almost any singer I’ve heard. This cover is beautifully rendered, but Darren isn’t Meatloaf.

[@cleretfernandes5972]

What a sure vocal show case ..! Nice attempt. Darren I'm blown

I am at a loss for words to describe how well this song was performed by all of you. The vocals and harmonies were exceptional. A perfectly crafted rendition. Your lead vocal was beautiful Darren, and with Melissa and Cameron backing you up, it could not have been better. Like a great movie, I watched and listened more intently as the song played on, at the end, I found myself at a loss for words to aptly describe this superb performance by all of you at SingitLive. Well done and thanks for sharing the gift of music with us all.

[@NormanWitthauer-bo2rd]

Jimmy Johnson's rendition of this Meat Loaf classic many years ago performed on the Don Immus show was the best I had ever heard. However, Darren's version and the outstanding backup vocals and post production mix makes this even better. I would not have thought that Darren's voice would sound so much like Meat Loaf. My new favorite.
