Biography

Meatloaf was born Michael Lee Aday. He was the first child of police officer father Orvis and school teacher mother, Wilma.

In 1967, Meat Loaf left Texas and moved to Los Angeles where he started working as a bouncer at a nightclub. It was in LA that Meat Loaf formed his first band, Meat Loaf Soul. It was during the recording of their first song that Meat Loaf hit a note so high that he managed to blow a fuse on the recording monitor which immediately led to an offer of three separate recording contracts- which he turned down all of.

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.”
