I remember this with Mick Romney but he was entertaining in his time.

Having a dig at a bloke who just died. You are a real hero, aren't you?
Say what you will about his performance at the Grand Final he was an absolute legend of rock.

I dont reckon he failed, if some silly sporting organisation who are poorly attempting to replicate Super Bowl entertainment pay out 6 figures to someone who has passed his prime , its not the singer that has failed.
Poor form. Blokes just died.
Port supporters needn't worry about GF entertainment anyway, you'll be lucky to scrape into the top 8.
RIP Meat Loaf.

He got to 74, he had a good innings....I'm sure he had a sense of humour.

He should have sung Eddie at the GF. Would have been awesome.

We'll get a medium to let him know when you say something funny.
RIP by the dashboard light Meatloaf.
Great artist and fondly remembered all the more for the 2011 GF performance, not in spite of it.

By all means fondly remember his 2011 Grand Final Performance, like many an artist and person he was flawed and lived a life that had its ups and down which people will reflect upon.
Clearly Meatloaf was extremely popular, I saw on the other thread that he was the 4th or 5th highest selling artist on a list, I'd need to check again if it was career sales or based on the Bat Out of Hell Album but either way it's a he'll of an achievement.
Just because I posted something that was a bit tongue in cheek it doesn't mean that I didn't think the guy was talented.
He also sang at some Trump event (I think he was a big Trump fan) years after the Grand Final incident and he was just as bad. He clearly did not learn his AFL lesson.

RIP big fella,Bat out of hell was epic,a staple of rock culture
people throw money at you you gotta take it,its rude not to,in fact its insulting to those offering it,RIP meat,true legend
if fans are happy to hand over theyre hard earned to get a glimpse of someone that makes em happy good luck to em,its not his issue,in good form or not
your remembered for your contribution and highlights,does Tony Lockett get remembered and reminded for his embarrasing and pointless comeback of 3 games and 4 goals in 2003 ? course not
RIP big fella
RIP.
He was a legend and belted out one of the most iconic power ballads ever.
Like every other ageing singer, sadly his talents declined in more recent years, but that shouldn't be the focus now that he's passed. Remember them at their best! And his best made him a legend, something not many others are able to do.

The GF was not a fail in any sense
How he managed to pull off jagging a gig like that with the pay cheque that would have come with it in the condition he was in is nothing short of an amazing achievement

Yeah I think many people see it as more than tongue in cheek when you're putting the boot in less than 24hrs after the man has passed away.
I'm sure you didn't mean it in a particularly mean spirited way, but ask yourself this; if an AFL legend wasn't able to kick a footy very well at age 60 and failed trying, would you also talk about how bad they were less than a day after they passed?

Apparently he wasn't even allowed a rehearsal.
I don't think he sung badly but he was definitely in a different key to everyone else. It can happen without proper practise.
He was past his prime but I think he was still capable of being a bit better if he had some proper preparation.
