Meat Loaf'錯過為紅人隊開球

Meat Loaf  7月28日無法在美國職棒辛辛那提紅人隊賽前開球，他本來排好行程要代表當地創辦基金會的一個得癌症的女病患去投球，但前一晚他在匹茲堡表演時哮喘病發作，迫使他休息十分鐘後才恢復演出，也因身体健康狀況不佳迫他次日無法去棒球場。

Meat Loaf 1947年出生於德州達拉斯，本名Marvin Lee Aday（不是合唱團），是一位Theatrical Rock 「劇場搖滾」歌手，這一派歌手與合唱團還有Alice Cooper、David Bowie、Kiss等都以誇張的化妝或舞台表演出名。

Meat Loaf 1978年的Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad’曾獲得排行榜第11名，是一首很好聽的搖滾歌謠，也是他的成名曲，1993年的I’d Do Anything For Love（But I Won’t Do That）則連續獲得五週排行榜冠軍，是他名次最好的歌，這首歌獲得當年葛萊美最佳搖滾歌曲演唱獎，女聲合唱部份是由Lorraine Crosby擔綱，這首歌長將近12分鐘，喜歡搖滾樂的朋友不能錯過。

I’d Do Anything For Love（But I Won’t Do That）

And I would do anything for love,
I'd run right into hell and back.
I would do anything for love,
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact.

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, oh no, no way.
And I would do anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that,
No I won't do that.

And some days it don't come easy,
And some days it don't come hard,
Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end.

And some nights you're breathing fire.
And some nights you're carved in ice.
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again.

And maybe I'm crazy.
Oh it's crazy and it's true.
I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you.

As long as the planets are turning.
As long as the stars are burning.
As long as your dreams are coming true, you'd better believe it!

That I would do anything for love,
And I'll be there till the final act.
And I would do anything for love,
And I'll take the vow and seal a pact.

But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way, tonight.

And I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that.
No, I won't do that!

I would do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of,
But I just won't do that.

[Solo]
And some days I pray for silence,
And some days I pray for soul,
Some days I just pray to the god of sex and drums and rock 'n' roll!

And maybe I'm lonely,
That's all I'm qualified to be.
There's just one and only, one and only promise I can keep.

As long as the wheels are turning.
As long as the fires are burning.
As long as your prayers are coming true, you'd better believe it!

That I would do anything for love,
And you know it's true and that's a fact.
I would do anything for love,
And there'll never be no turning back.

But I'll never do it better than I do it with you, so long, so long.
And I would do anything for love,
Oh, I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that.
No, no, no, I won't do.....

I would do anything for love.
Anything you've been dreaming of.
But I just won't do that!
[x3]

But I'll never stop dreaming of you,
Every night of my life.
No way.

And I would do anything for love.
But I won't do that.
No I won't do that.


[Girl]
Will you raise me up, will you help me down?
Will you get me right out of this God forsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?

[Boy]
I can do that. Oh I can do that.

[Girl]
Will you cater to every fantasy I've got?
Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot? Hot!
Will you take me places I've never known?

[Boy]
Now I can do that! Oh oh now, I can do that!

[Girl]
After awhile you'll forget everything.
It was a brief interlude
And a midsummer night's fling,
And you'll see that it's time to move on.

[Boy]
I won't do that. I won't do that.

[Girl}
I know the territory, I've been around,
It'll all turn to dust and will all fall down,
Sooner or later, you'll be screwing around.

[Boy]
I won't do that. No, I won't do that.

Anything for love,
Oh, I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that.
No, I won't do that.
