I cant think of no bigger tribute to Meat Loaf knowing younger generations will carry on the legacy. Meat would have been proud, RIP
This is not an easy song to perform. It takes a lot of coordination, concentrations, and showmanship. These kids nailed it. It was a lot of fun to watch it. Thanks kids for keep on rocking!
Plus there are many chord changes and a zillion lyrics to remember
I wonder if the kids REALLY understood the sexual innuendo and symbolism of the lyrics......doesn't matter, the performance is EXCELLENT......Ellen Foley and Meat ( R.I.P ) say " you better sing, kids ! ".......
You took the words right out of my mouth.....no sexual implication implied.
This was an OUTSTANDING performance! They really captured the theatrics of the song. This could only be done by the best of the best!
I saw Meatloaf perform this and wore out the album, yah, I’m that old, this performance is spot on, both theatrically and musically! Great Job! Nailed it!
For perspective, Meatloaf's longtime touring pianist was Tom Brislin who also played with Blondie, Renaissance, YES, and now with Kansas.
That young lady filled some really big shoes here 👍
Excellent performance. The drummer doesn't miss a beat. School of Rock rocks!
These kids are great actors as well as singers, to play the parts the way it should be done.
The sports commentator part was awesome and the couple gave a great performance instead of just standing and singing
miconis123 The guy has studied acting and would always incorporate it into his performances.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 I would love to know whether these guys followed a career in music. The four main vocalists are stunning.
Of all of the school of Rock bands I have watched this particular group seemed to me to be the best by far especially with the fine vocals. Instrumentally they were great!
its the fantastic drummer that holds the whole thing together
Agree 100%, standout job by the drummer throughout this highly varied song. Awesome drum work was what made me really start to pay attention, but whole performance was fantastic IMO.
Meat Loaf must see this, will be proud of it!
It’s 2024. First time I have ever seen this. Tremendous.
You guys Killed it. Excellent job...I am 62 and loved it, with headphones on cranked full
I have watched hours of SOR videos and this is perhaps the best I have viewed to this point.
It literally brought tears (of joy) to my eyes. This is NOT an easy song to perform! (Duh, it's Jim Steinman) Kudos to all concerned!
Jason Krause's Meat6loaf is pretty tight (but where's Meat's red scarf?). Paden Guido's Ellen Foley? Not so much. Remember that by "Here's the play at the plate" Meat looks like his tongue is down Foley's throat, and he's leaving fingerprints on her butt.
OK, Jason and Paden are both a touch too young, or maybe chaperones said "look like there really is paradise by the dashboard light going on, you're done and gone from the All-Stars Team. Got that, kids?". BTW folks, Paradise is a duet, with backup singers, not a a line of four doing much of the lyrics. All of that said...
It's a pretty good try, with a decent band behind, and Tessa Murthy's KB fills working well.
Old guy here.....OMG (my daughter taught me that)...That was freaking awesome!!!!
Jesus H Christ !! Wonderful!! And all this time I thought the younger generations were lost to the nog rap crap. This gives me faith that the future can be saved.
Hall of Famer Phil "Scooter" Rizzuto did the play-by-play.
Imagine going next after that amazing performance.... Id pass on the simple fact that there is no follow up to that awesome performance.
I have the full show up so you can see what came before and after it.
I've probably listened to this 50 times. Its by far the best video I've seen. Great work. Classic.
Remember, kids, this song is a cautionary tale.
Ms Guido does a great job in her role, playing the woman to which the young man should say no. I hope there are big things in her future. She is a great performer
You prolly dont care but if you're bored like me atm then you can watch all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend recently xD
@Anson Gabriel Yup, I have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself =)
I agree most of them did well (well, all except one), but I personally am not a fan of the singer with the blue shirt, as others have used as a description. He only was pretty good with the ending, but he is pitchy all over the song. I definitely will concede that it is a very difficult song to sing.
this is the best cover of this song i've seen. they totally get the gritty raunchy energy and angst. 6:15 love the blond girl dancing with a scowl lol
Damn' they made this song their's...(Awesome rendition)!😀😝👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Music was good female vocals okay but still a nice tribute!
This was almost as good as the real thing, great job and keep it up!
Fantastic. Outstanding. What a performance. Worthy of Broadway. And when they are done they just modestly leave the stage when they deserved a standing ovation.
The dark haired young man is a very good actor.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 It shows. And props to the kid who did Rizzuto's part.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2There was definitely "chemistry"! 👍
Fantastic. Must be so exciting to really just have achieved the skill to play something like this and then be in with a bunch of other talented kids and proper equipment and mixing. To complement any one member would be to detract from the fact that they had this as an ensemble like nothing I've seen in SOR yet.
One word: stamina.
Holy hell.
OK these people were having FUN and did a GREAT job! I've been a musician since 17 and now 65. Have FUN and do it!
Before I really started getting into this song I was following it very closely. These people didn't miss a beat throughout the entire song, I was wondering how they were going to pull off certain parts, and they did everything all themselves. You people are fantastic
That was spectacular ! been watching a few of these videos, so far the shows out of Chicago from 2013-2014 have some great covers. Is there an age limit for these students?
Nobody older than 18.
Really amazing. The blonde looks stoned
Hello from down-under fantastic effort by the young band, saw Meatloaf whenever in Australia combined with Jim Steinman blew our socks off in the 70's which left us always wanting more. I have listened and appreciated the School of Rock performers doing many covers and they are all young professional musicians and I will continue to listen often to any I find. Bravo
Excellent! the guy has a good voice and so do the two blonde girls and meat loaf on the left too
miguelporraz The guy is Jason Krause from the Chicago School of Rock. Not just a great singer, but an amazing performer.
Musical theatre without props…..🙂
Great job all!! Mix is nice, vocals in front, excellent keyboards, drums feel effortless....well done.
not a replacement for the original but damn it was really good! Thought the girl was going to beat the shit out of him.
I finished high school in 93', we had a big lipsync contest every year, yes lipsync for fuck sakes
I assure you that none of them are lip syncing.
What a fantastic job by some talented students!!!
amazing cover great job everyone
oh my god. I've been impressed by this performance from the beginning. 4:11 I thought wow he's getting a bit close... 4:17 I realise she's not only singing but acting the role, they both are. He wasn't getting "a bit close" they're performing the song completely. It's one thing to play an instrument, but to sing well like this and play the role... the stage is complete. between them, they all nailed it... but she's extra phenomenal... just that extra % that makes the difference in being cast in a role.
Loved this! Maybe not as polished as Glee cast, but way more authentic
No Autotune, for one - these kids can genuinely sing. And these musicians are real as well, not a bunch of Hollywood studio pros.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 they sing so bad in the video. Glee is the best, the rest is rest
You should get out and see a live show rather than criticize and compare a professional pre recorded major network show to a live performance on the fly. Just sayin...
RIP .. Meatloaf ... you'll be missed by many
Freakin great cover! Best I've heard. My tour leaves in a week and I'm so excited!!
Ive watched a lot of these school of rock videos and this performance is clearly the best. Everything from the singing, musicianship and performance is top notch. Besides those chosen to be all-stars I've always wondered how the kids are grouped together and the songs they sing are chosen. Cant wait to see more (especially Lauren).
I'm friends with a couple of the AllStars directors, and from what I understand it goes like this:
A student who wants to try out for AllStars has to have been going to the school for three years, has to be a member of their local school's "House Band" (that gigs around town) and have a recommendation from their local school's Music Director. They then submit a five minute video explaining why they want to do this, their School of Rock career (including mentoring other kids) and playing portions of two songs - one from one of the classic rock bands (usually Led Zeppelin) and one of their choosing.
The ones that pass the first level are invited to regional live auditions. This lets the AllStars directors see how they work in a band and get more of an idea of their chops and personalities.
There is a third level audition, where (again this is second hand information) the bands are assembled by each director. The kids who don't pass the third level audition will usually go onto other tours, like the Summertour, and playing at Summerfest.
In 2014, the selection process was different, being grouped regionally - five of these musicians were from the Chicago School of Rock, one from Kansas City and I'm not sure where the other three came from.
I don't envy the AllStars directors their job - any kid who gets to the second level is going to be a very good musician, and the third level are going to be amazing. It has to be very difficult to choose.
Awesome! Thank you for that information. I would love to catch one of their live shows someday.
You may be able to! Here's the link for the AllStars tour dates - there might be one near you: www.schoolofrock.com/allstars2017
this is absolutely outstanding. I love the vibe on the stage too. I have been in a lot of bands and takes years to get to that level and these "Kids" do it like they have known each other since birth.
The AllStars are assembled from various School of Rock locations, but some schools are so exceptional that they produce multiple AllStars. In this case the two vocalists, the drummer, the lead guitarist and the announcer were all from the Chicago location, so they knew each other. But the bassist was from Kansas City, and you know how vital it is for a drummer and bassist to meld and they managed to do that over three days of rehearsal.
Bravo!!!! Loved the intensity. Incredibly talented performers
Still a great performance. Hope they are all still into music.
Wow…..that is the best cover version of this song I have ever heard. It was so raw and the tempo was full gas.
this was great. pretty much nailed it. special shout out to the piano player as well! also, the baseball play by play :)
great cover thanks :)
That girl on the piano has the foundation for this song with the drummer. She rocks! This is really well done it is hard to not call out who is the best. That blond hair girl can sing.
Roy Bittan did piano on the original record, Max Weinberg was on drums, both of E Street band fame. The two kids in this video more than held their own!
@@robertsevers6251 Tom Brislin of Yes and Kansas was Meat's live pianist for quite a while. Big shoes to fill!
Love the big guy in the sport coat, nailed the play by play!
Most Rock bands that play and perform in the real world, don't, for the most part, have any women in them, except sometimes as a lead singer. School of Rock though, seems to have a fair number of young women singers, as well as, (un all the videos that I've seen) keyboard players & bass players. They seem to be more represented here than on stage in the live bands I've seen through the years. Btw, check out the Toto "Africa" cover by these Polish High School students (on this page somewhere) ""Zespol INterim Gimanzjum w Slezakach" . They have almost equal numbers of male and female performers and they do an almost better version of this song than Toto! Their young female singer is great.
The number one legacy of the School of Rock is an extraordinary number of talented female musicians and singers. There's something about learning music in the situation with adult supervision that helps girls and young women excel.
@@MidWestConcertVideo2 Interesting observation. I notice that in most videos of High School and College Choirs, women outnumber men. The same is true for Churches and for a few "Meetup.com" groups I've seen in their promo emails. But by the time you go up in age to the early 20s, when you're talking concert halls, clubs, anywhere that present Rock bands, those numbers decline sharply.
I suspect that's because many young women, perhaps wisely, want to avoid what they view as the toxic Alpha male/Slacker Male atmosphere of Rock groups, where Guitars & Drums and Keyboards & Basses, are virtually the domain of males - and women's presence is something of a "novelty". When women sing, it's usually as Solo artists, and less likely to be in the Rock Genre. Successful "Girl Groups" are, I suppose even in 2020, still the exception rather than the rule.
Nobody blinks if a young woman sings, plays piano or flute, but I think you'll always hear surprise at
"Wow, you play lead guitar?!?!" - - - DJ
@@davejohnson-yi2rk Exactly right! The difference with School of Rock is that these young women have been learning to play and sing alongside their male peers since they were 8 years old, being taken seriously and being supported by their parents, their teachers and their fellow students, both male and female. By the time they graduate when they're 18, most of them have had bands of their own for years, and have tons of confidence. They also are required to mentor and teach younger students. If you can get a whole bunch of 8 year olds to play a rock song, you can handle anything the music industry's going to throw at you.
I had to come back and watch this a second time and wanted to say that I loved seeing the backup band getting into it during the sports commentator part. You can feel their enjoyment
Just found this. Awesome JOB. Very much in the spirit of original. Excellent work!!!
This was the best all rounded performance so far, the vocals were as strong as the band.
Back then, the AllStars were regional, and three of the singers were from the same school, so they had sung together for years.
Go Peter Brady go!
I love that they added the performance that is synonymous with live performances of this song. So many leave it out. I knew a girl in college who referred to Meatloaf as "show tunes." Needless to say she didn't get it. And ironically I was just a fan of theater and yet she was in stage productions.
Nice!
I saw Meat Loaf on tour 7 years ago. Today I watched what could have been that show. The energy, the singing and playing were strong. Gotta love the Baseball guy. ( June 6, 2021 ) Be well all and stay safe.
Ha...they are 17
RIP Meat Loaf
Excellent - great energy, vocals and acting. well done
I do not know any other adult who gets this song let alone some youngsters. Outstanding performance. Bravo!!
Her expression at 6:45 is priceless. She obviously has some musical theater ability. Looks like they are having a lot of fun. Dude’s tie has it’s own impressive performance.
Fantastic!
If I had five, ten, more likes to give this video, I would. This is the best SoR performance that I've watched, and I've watched a lot. Technically sophisticated, tight and hard hitting, rocking and fun - really, if a band of long-time adult musicians rocked this hard together, they'd be high pro-level (nationally known maybe?).
Wow! That was amazing! Great tribute to Meat Loaf! May he RIP.
Total magic. What a performance! The girls harmony vocals were spot on. I think they both have a big future ahead of them. Possibly in the theater.
I cannot believe there is only 322 likes this performance is outstanding they really studied this song Meatloaf would be proud congrats to all who took part in this ❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Phew! Knocked that one out of the park. Well done!
I don't know usually Give opinions but this is damn awesome what a voice they all have and the band is rocking it out that's the best I've ever heard except for meatloaf I hope their still rocking if not that a very sad thing
I assume all of them are working in music. The male singer is teaching keyboards at the Oak Park School of Rock, while also pursuing his career.
Cool
This is professional quality. Really good. Love the energy
The piano player, drummer, and singer in the blue shirt really carried this
I _love_ Meatloaf, but damn that was good, not just the music and the singing, but the theatre too - perfomers whose age closely aligns with the lyrics really made this a powerful performance.
All three singers are from the same School of Rock location, so they've been singing together for a long time. The dark haired young man is an actor, and is currently going to college and teaching singing and keyboards at The Chicago School of Rock.
I saw Meatloaf perform live in the early-mid 2000's. He had a young woman doing this tune with him, which made it weird. Someone in the audience said it was his daughter, which made it really weird. This performance is right up there in quality (not in weirdness). Everyone was great! Special shoutout to drums and keyboards. Good job
Everyone did so well but the guy with the blue shirt especially had a great energy about his performance in the first part. Love him.
He's been an actor since he was a kid, so he brings that same commitment to the performance that Meatloaf did.
RIP Jim steinman.
I agree, his blond cohort who does backup is excellent too. They all are! They so nailed it, I don't think anyone could do a better cover of this song.
Like many folks these days, I have thousands of songs a click away, and great equipment on which to hear top quality recordings. But what’ve I come back to three or four times now? Kids on RUclips playing a cover. :-) ;-)
But that’s OK, because they are THAT good! I hope everybody in this band is still playing music, and OP thanks for sharing.
Glad to help! I know the male singer. Jason Krause, is teaching at the Chicago School of Rock and is pursuing a career in music. The guitarist Algren Rogers is also teaching.
The blonde crazy girl kind of scares me. I guess that is part of the act.
😂😂😊
Bat Out of Hell (1977). It was Ellen Foley ("Night Court") on the female vocal.
The look at 6:45; probably every guy has seen that look and every wise girl has given it. Yeah. Right.
Hans Anderson e
The vocalists didn't just have great, strong voices, but I loved how they incorporated some effective theatrics into the song. Meatloaf is a hard vocalist & act to copy or pay tribute to and these kids acquitted themselves really well. They should be proud.
The male singer is an actor as well as a singer.
AH HA! Yeah, he was quite good. Also, the gal vocalist who took Ellen Foley's part did a really good job with the way she emoted. Nothing over the top, but good for the part & for on stage and for a young performer. I couldn't honestly hear the blonde gal's vocals (separately) from the others, but I liked the way she swayed to the music, and the expression she kept on her face, she stayed "in character" too even though she wasn't the focus like the other two. I kept focusing on her for some reason, and I noticed a few other people commented on her positively.
They play this like they all have rounded the bases. Perfection!
It's satisfying to see the kids of today (at the schools of rock) rocking out to the classic tunes of yesterday of when I was growing up. Well done!.
The big dude with the gut hanging out thinks he's the "dogs bollocks"
Excellent job. This is a very difficult piece to execute live (much less in the studio)!
Awesome job. Sounds great 👍
the blonde backup singer has dead eyes. i hope shes ok
This was the best group performance of all the School Of Rock videos I’ve seen. Outstanding!!
Not only did the performers knock it out of the park but have to give kudos to everyone involved. Sound, video, and everyone working behind the scenes to make a show like this what it was. Bravo!!
These kids are great I love this song then they are doing a great job I love it
Absolutely killed it! Amazed. Inspired.
Such talented people 😃
I just realized this song isn't about baseball. Great job kids!
Just freakin fabulous! Gives me hope for the younger generation.
You are all so fantastic. Now I understand the song ;-)
Brilliant must have taken a lot of rehearsal great performance by the singers and the musicians one of the best performances I've heard since meatloaf.
Great job and the eye candy is nice too
