To support his comeback 2003 album, Meat Loaf toured the world. In February of 2004, the tour took him to Australia where he performed in Melbourne backed by the Symphony Orchestra. The concert featured 13 songs from his catalog including 7 songs that comprised one of rock’s all time best selling classic albums, “Bat Out Of Hell.”

Always looking for another extravagant gesture to make, Meat Loaf outdoes himself once again with this spectacular live concert performance. Taking to the stage with the backing of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Meat (or should that be Mr. Loaf?) works his way through a number of his classic hard hitting rock tunes. Among the tracks performed are “Dead Ringer For Love,” “Life Is A Lemon (And I Want My Money Back),” “I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That),” and of course the ubiquitous “Bat Out of Hell.”

Chris Martin will be performing at Neil Young’s annual Bridge School Benefit on Octocber 24th and 25th at the Shoreline Amphitheater in San Francisco, CA. The shows go on sale at on Sunday, September 20th at 10am PST through www.ticketmaster.com or the Shoreline Amphitheater box office.

The gigs will raise funds for the Bridge School, a program for the communicative and educational development of children with severe speech and physical impairments.

“Music inspired by the soothing calls of contented monkeys relaxes the animals when it is played back to them, researchers have discovered.

Researchers composed “monkey melodies” to investigate whether non-human primates are capable of responding to music with the same emotions as people.

They found that while monkeys were left cold by human music, they reacted emotionally to tunes that incorporated features commonly heard in monkey calls, such as rising and falling tones……

The only human music that elicited any response was the heavy metal band Metallica, whose music had the unexpected effect of calming the monkeys.”
