New Meat Loaf Rock Documentary Appears To Be Dramatic

It might not have the international appeal of the Falco biopic, but we're betting Meat Loaf: In Search Of Paradise, will at the very least be as epic. In fact, judging from the trailer, the big guy appears to be even more of drama queen than we suspected: He spits gum, snorts vapors, falls on the ground (repeatedly), and rubs his hands through his hair in complete and utter anguish, etc. Why? Well, "the most important tour of his career ... could be the one that ends it." Jesus! That's a lot of pressure to put on an "A" personality with vertigo who lives in stress city. What's worse: In order to get to paradise, he has to go through hell. What's worser: That includes having a woman the size of his left leg dry hump said leg.

"I look like I'm 12 years old and every reviewer can't get past it." Dennis Quaid can. The Loaf, he hates all his shows. Don't worry dude, none can be worse than this.

Yeah, and poor old Jim Steinman is stuck with Americanized versions of his great German musicals, while Meat gets this treatment. But all the same, Meat, I gotta ask: "Go Phone Light?" UGH!

most of these comments are from meatloaf bashers....and yes, every actor and singer has bashers who are just desperate to have a negative arguement stirred up! your comments just make meats fans dig in deeper, and love him harder....you were probly never a meatloaf fan...i love every song this man has done....my dream is to see him in concert when he gets back to usa, cincinnati ohio...he doesn't have to bash others to get attention like you do....he has rightfully earned it!!!! sorry your life has become so desperate......i 'm sure everyone goes through alot of stress before a performance....anyone knows, when the camera is rolling the show begins....what, do you just want to see him walk around and do nothing?????i want to see his passion, his soul ,and what it takes for him to prepare to execute a show....and i mean that in a positive sense....
