LinvoyPrimus Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Don Meat Loaf. Some absolute turbobangers. Also always liked that he never took himself remotely seriously, and seemed like a genuinely decent bloke as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred quimby Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Well this is very strange, and all true. I was out walking the dog this morning the getting the washing in the machine and for no reason at all I have been singing You Took The Words Right out of my Mouth. Still singing it I have a look the BBC and see the sad news. Very odd My only conclusion is that I have been possessed by him. The song has been replaced now so might have been a short possession He certainly sang some belters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner1990 Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Off the back of the news this morning I listened to a couple of interviews he did in the aftermath of him collapsing on stage in 2016. Talks about his health a lot, and like a couple of others have said above seemed like a really decent bloke and always up for a laugh. Not sure what exactly finally took him, but from what I can work out it seems some general health problems were ongoing..... and a couple of suggestions were that COVID finally took him but seems a bit gossipy at the moment. Won't pretend I was a massive fan of his work (bit before my time tbh) , but both my parents were and as such I knew a fair amount of his songs. RIP Meat Loaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it was probably COVID, and he was apparently not vaccinated and a bit of an arsehole about masks, vaccines etc which is unfortunate to hear as this was possibly avoidable. He would do anything for love, but he wouldn’t get vaxxed, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye.... was trying to recall when that was. 2016 maybe year after her 'comeback' album ? I think she had London dates and a GSH. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_mulher_do_fim_do_mundo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Bristol the slapstick Festival is on and when I saw the poster with Barry on I was very tempted to get tickets. Very funny man. Will get missed Didn't get tickets in the end due to money needed elsewhere. Will look at another year though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intimate venue and he did questions and answers as well as told stories. With the help of backing tapes he did King Crimson songs from the first album that he sang and played on as well as ELP classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
