Okay, let's be honest for a moment here; this is a RISKY cover for ANYBODY to attempt. When Meat Loaf released this song so many years ago, it was an INSTANT CLASSIC. To get a 'Tommyfied' version of this iconic tune is nothing short of an early Christmas present to his legions of fans. We're a fickle, judgmental lot, let's be real here. But, have faith in maestro Johansson and sit back and enjoy this INCREDIBLE version. The 'Johanssonized' version of this song is nothing short of FAN-STINKING-TASTIC!!!!

It is a very good version and has earned a subscription from me. I don't think it surpasses the OG or the Bat the musical version though, as it works better as a duet. But I'm impressed enough to want to hear more.

To even attempt it as a cover solo has earned a massive amount of respect from me! Meatloaf's OG rendition is still king, but this is truly a worthy cover.

The fact he does it himself, is a REAL awesome.

you need to play Meatloaf in his movie...Producers and Movie makers take heed!

This man deserves all the success that's possible what a singer

Anyone that has the balls to cover Meatloaf, and do such a smashin fantastic job, is meant for huge success!!!

Meat is smiling down....well done

Nobody does Meattloaf any more and I loved Meatloaf so thank you Tommy, you little genius you!!!!

This man deserves all the success that's possible what a singer I am glad to exist in the same timeline as Tommy. What a treasure.

I just listened to Meat Loaf sing this and hands down there is no comparission. Tommy, you did so much justice to this song. No more words are needed.

If Meatloaf could hear this, I think he’d love it

I am glad to exist in the same timeline as Tommy. What a treasure.

This young man is amazing. The talent within him is beyond expectation. Cant wait to hear more from him.

You have a lot of hiim on KZread. Tommy Johansson covers.

Tommy really does justice to this song-now we absolutely must have BAT OUT OF HELL!!!!!

I didn't think I'd ever hear a Tommy cover song that Meat Loaf sang. He's said it often enough himself. 😉But he heard his fans and today the surprise is all the greater. What can I say? I'm overwhelmed because it turned out to be a great masterpiece. 🤘Tommy has once again put so much love and energy into this song that it almost takes my breath away. I have goosebumps and say thank you from the bottom of my heart for this great gift. I love your great music and I really wish you all the best because for me you will always be the buddy to have a beer with in the evening and talk about God and the world. 🍻You simply stayed true to yourself and didn't stand out in any way. Your family certainly made sure of that too. They did a really great job.🎸🎸

Considering Tommy said he'd never play this "I will play anything you want but I won't play that" this is sheer magnificence! Beautifully bombastic and a wonderful tribute to the big man we lost nearly two years ago. Hopefully for the second anniversary of Meats passing Tommy might like to mark the occasion by singing something about lying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun. We all know it and we all want it and Tommy is the only one who can give it to us.😊

I'd love to hear that. I'd honestly never thought of anyone covering it except myself in my most fevered dreams. But Tommy doing it? Sign me up

Jim Steinman and Meatloaf are smiling right now and I’m quite emotional. Thanks for covering one of the greatest rock anthems ever written.

Томми ты нереальный, великолепный!!! Молодец! 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤

If JIM STEINMAN were alive I'm sure he would have chosen you for his songs and he would have composed new songs especially for you. The original version was programmed into us and it is the only one accepted by our mind and body …until today. Yes, this song was epic as it is. But you took it to another level of epicness . I didn’t think any other version of this masterpiece could work but this is fantastic! Can I give Like 1000+1 times?

Mr. Johansson is never disappointing!🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎😎

This song has been requested by so many for so long, and this cover has far more than exceeded every hope and expectation anyone could possibly have had for it!! I am absolutely astounded at the arrangement - you perfectly captured the original's feel, while simultaneously giving it that vibrant and energetic character so prolific in your work - it's so bright and completely brimming with joy! Seriously..this is an absolute masterpiece - a testament to your skill across every facet of it! I am completely in awe...Really! That's not an exaggeration!! This is so good!! I absolutely love it!!! 😃 And visually - it's perfectly edited, framed and filmed.. I'm always amazed at how expressive you are - the shots back and forth during the "duet" at the end have so much character and are absolutely perfect! (..And adding the second DeLorean to your desk during it ...perfection. 😁) Seriously, everything about this video is absolutely so amazing! I really could watch it all day! (..And actually already have quite a few times now! 😅) Thank you for making this - for spreading so much joy to all of us every week as you always do!! Thank you always for all that you are and all that you do!! 😃🙏🙏🙏

When seven minutes fly by, you know you're listening to a Tommy Johannson cover. This song will be playing on loop along with all of Tommy's other treasures.🤩

Honestly, I’ve never heard any of your work before, but I’m crazy about Meat Loaf. A huge part of Meat was his emotion behind his performances and you actually capture energy in this. A lot of times you hear a cover, and sure it might be sung well, but it still lacks emotion, which makes it not great. This cover lacks nothing! This is honestly really stunning. You’re incredibly talented.

Who else but Tommy Johansson can do justice to Meat Loaf's epic vocals and theatrical performance? 🤘🤘🤘🤘

I just say WOW! Legends may die, but they will never be forgotten. Thank you Tommy for this great cover❤️

Thank you Tommy for this great Cover ❤🎉

4:48, I was waiting for it…. And got one thing to say.. hell yeah!!!

I have been a Meatloaf fan for a very long time. I am in total awe at how you have gone about this arrangement. You kept the spirit of Meat alive and that was crucial. Yet you gave a new twist the the story. I was wondering how you would deal with Lorraine's part, I think she would be laughing and smiling. You totally nailed this one, another awesome cover. VERY well done. Hail Sabaton.

A beautiful tribute to Meatloaf

I'm so happy I found you. Thank you. God Bless.

I wish Meat Loaf was around to have heard that. He definitely sounded as though he was in Spirit. Very Moving.

Not many people could go toe to toe with Michael Aday even on his worst day. It's like covering Freddy Mercury. Great job.

I love this song so much. Thank you Tommy for singing this song in the end...🙏☺ You have an extremely beautiful voice.❤‍🔥🤘

As a huge fan of Meatloaf I am very happy this rendition. I came by this channel by way of Peter Barber doing a reaction to Tommy’s cover of Phantom, which was great. On that video I said Tommy reminded me of a young Meatloaf, then I come here and hear this! Outstanding, Meatloaf would have been honored to hear this. I was in high school when the original came out, now years later this wonderful and faithful version. Thanks for doing such a great job.

Now we really need a cover of Bat Out of Hell, keep up the amazing work Tommy!

You just know that if Meat and Jim were still alive both of them would fully approve of this rendition. Absolutely awesome tribute to such awesome music. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

30 years ago this song debuted. I remember it being absolutely massive! You've done it incredible justice, Tommy.

Tommy reminds me of a younger, thinner Meat Loaf. He’s so talented,approachable,funny,sweet and loves to entertain his fans and cute.

Epic! The passionate emotions in the song fits you so well❣️🎼 But to be the Beast you are much too goodlooking🤗 Wish you a happy Friday and weekend❣️

Congratulation 👍 over 700 people were watching the premiere of this fantastic cover 🔥🤘 The Tommy Family loves you for doing that after all that time ! RESPECT for this and just to say it again - you're an amazing talent 🎸🎶👏

WOW WOW WOW You are unbelievable

One of the greatest metal ballads of all time.

This song is definitely written for your style of singing I know it will be amazing

Oh my god Tommy.🤩 The song suits you so perfectly with your whole style and all your vocal diversity. Just absolutely great🫂🥰

This song was inevitable. When I heard Celine Dion, Meat Loaf started playing in my head. What a beautiful tribute. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Please belt out this song half way through a Sabaton gig when your next in London! ❤️

Being a fan of traditional metal, the music of Jim Steinman and in this case Meat loaf are part of the rare music that I listen outside " heavy " Thank you Tommy for this excellent cover rip and thank you to Jim Steinman and Michael Marvin Lee Aday for the musical Legacy they left us Have a great wekend you all .

Супер дякую за гарне виконання

That was a bloody otherworldly cover Tommy thank you so much and I know probably don't intend to anytime soon but don't ever stop rockin!!!!!!!!! 🤘🤘

I have loved this song since “Bat out of hell” came out, definitely one of my favorite albums, such a masterpiece. Meatloaf was incredibly talented, but never really received the recognition that he deserved. He infused such emotion into his performances, I honestly never thought anyone else could do these songs justice… but that was before I discovered you Tommy. You performed this song brilliantly, I know Meatloaf, RIP, is smiling down on you with pride, at being able to sing this as well as he did, I dont think anyone else could. Thank you for gifting us your beautiful version of this amazing song. Feeling extra thankful for you and the gift of your music on this Thanksgiving day. Much love and blessings to you dear Tommy!!!

you brought me to tears man this is one of my favorite songs it reminds me of how cool my dad is and how awesome meatloaf is

Tommy has such a beautiful voice

"But I won`t do that" and you did, for us. There is no one else that can do Meatloaf. I hope all the feedback and 5,100 views in 2 hours will convey our love and respect for your hard work and talent. ❤❤❤
