Meat Loaf Impersonator talks about Meat Loaf lawsuit

Meat Loaf, real name Michael Aday, has filed a lawsuit against Dean Torkington, a Meat Loaf impersonator who claims to have made his living for the past 17 years as an impersonator to the man that he says he, “so used to admire”. Now Dean Torkington, the Meat Loaf Impersonator talks about the Meat Loaf lawsuit to Celebrity Feast by explaining his history with Meat Loaf.

TMZ reported that according to the documents filed at the Los Angeles Country Superior Court, Meat Loaf wants a court injunction to shut down the site and hand over ownership of the domain under the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) plus $100,000 in damages.

Torkington says he has owned the the domain in question, meatloaf.org, for 12 years. According to WHOIS records, that site (www.meatloaf.org) was originally registered on March 14, 2000 to Torkington and the registration is valid through March 14, 2013.

I asked Torkington if he has ever met the person that, “he so used to admire”

Torkington says,

I had met him on 2 occasions in the mid 1990s and we hit it off ! He even suggested that in the future he would get me on stage to sing with him.  Things started to go downhill  in 2001 when he noticed my tour bus parked in the VIP area at one of his shows.

In his lengthy and many emails, Torkington claims that he paid a lot of money for 2 tickets, year unknown, to a Meat Loaf show to receive the “VIP Treatment” which included free food, drinks and being able to attend the after party.  He said,

Three songs into his show a man in black tapped me on the shoulder and gave me a letter , i was on the front row watching the man perform . The letter said Meat Loaf wants to see you after the show!!!!

After he says he went backstage, he tells Celebrity Feast that he was confronted by an angry Meat Loaf and his Manager who demanded that he change the pictures he had on his tour bus and claims they wanted the meatloaf.org name.  Torkington says he agreed to, “change the bus” but would not give up the website.

A few years later, Torkington claims that he received a call from Virgin Radio (in what he believes was 2006), asking if he wanted to sing to Meat Loaf live on the air.  He claims he jumped at the chance and was crushed when, ” I sang one line and then Meat Loaf interrupted me saying wheres your vibrato , in a drawer with your socks!” (emails to Virgin Radio asking for transcripts of this call have thus far gone unanswered)  Audios of Torkington can be found on the To Hell and Back A tribute to Meat Loaf website.

The persistent Torkington says that he wrote an original album called The Bat Strikes Back.  He says,

it was written in the style of Jim Steinman and sung in my Meat Loaf style voice, It was my take on the songwriting style of jim steinman, it never passed off as a Meat Loaf album! I was delighted it got 8 stars in *Classic Rock magazine and a great review. It said better than any of Meat Loafs recent albums! This obviously upset the Loaf and he had youtube pull the video down . I won an appeal and it was reinstated!

Torkington says he is surprised at the timing of the Meat Loaf lawsuit since he has lost 155 lbs and doesn’t really resemble Meat Loaf anymore. He says,

Its  ironic he is coming for me now when i look like Steve Tyler !!

He also said that he is not totally adverse to selling and while he is not asking for  “tens of thousands of dollars” , the few thousand dollars offered to him by Meat Loaf’s camp is not enough.

Torkington says that he suffers from depression, much like his (former) idol, and in addition to losing weight, he has also lost his home, went through a divorce and has actually been living on his tour bus. It appears that Torkington is going through a very rough patch.

Torkington also mentioned to Celebrity Feastthat he believes the Meat Loaf lawsuit against him will fall under the term of “Acquiesce”.   In layman legal

terms, than means passive conduct that implies agreement or consent.

Here’s an example. Say someone started a website and was concerned that their brand or product might infringe upon another company.  They then contact that company and tell them of their plans.  They would either receive a response that it’s OK or not or they may not receive any response so they go ahead and use whatever they said they were going to use.  Years later, they get sued.  It could and would likely be argued that by their acquiescence, the competitor tacitly approved the use. The competitor, however, might still be entitled to an Injunction barring the said company from further use of its trademark if it is so similar to the competitor’s label as to amount to an infringement.

In my communications with Torkington, he believes that he can prove that Meat Loaf has known about him and what he does for a living for many, many years.

Will the “little guy” be able to prove his case in court? or  will  a settlement agreed upon?

We appreciate Dean Torkington, talking about the Meat Loaf lawsuit with Celebrity Feast and look forward to hearing from him with any updates.

Stay tuned!

    ” I sang one line and then Meat Loaf interrupted me saying wheres your vibrato , in a drawer with your socks!”

    Untrue. This interview took place during the promo for the album CHSIB in 2003, not 2006. I listened to it live. Meat Loaf said, when he was asked what he thought of the singing, “I think you need to work on your vibrato Dean”. Verbatim. NO mention at all of drawer or socks.

    Paul Crook, guitarist in the NLE, was present at a meeting at which Torkington claims Meat Loaf manhandled him. Another untrue claim.

    The following day he went to Meat Loaf’s official website and left a message which was a stream of profane abuse. True. You might wish to contact other reputable Meat Loaf tributes in the UK to get a fuller picture. Peat Loaf, Steve Steinman, Sean Maloney. It would be illuminating.

    • https://plus.google.com/104617576175775050248?rel=author Miz.Chellie

      @Anthea Thanks a lot for the information.

      My goal was to be impartial in that particular piece since I have only heard from one side involved in the lawsuit.

      We had contacted Virgin Radio to see if they had a transcript or audio of the radio show that we, at Celebrity Feast, could listen to or any other info they might wish to share and have not heard back from them. That’s why we even noted a few qualifiers in the article in reference to the radio show as well as the reference to the review on Classic Rock Magazine.

      “Illuminating” I like that, sounds so very British to my New York/Las Vegas ears!

      Thank you again for writing. I appreciate it and hope others will stop by and share their recollections and opinions as well.

      Chellie

  • http://WWW.MEATLOAF.ORG dean torkington

    I am not making this up , he said wheres your vibrato, in a drawer with your socks!paul crook was not in the room all the time, in fact he only showed me where i had to wait! i was there you werent!

  • http://WWW.MEATLOAF.ORG dean torkington

    We can see whats happening here, contact other Meat Loaf tributes! say no more. Lets get some publicity for ourselves, I can see right through this poster. Why not reveal your true identity

  • http://WWW.MEATLOAF.ORG dean torkington

    You listened to it live? I recorded it!!, I knew what i heared I was crushed! totally crushed. Like most Meat Loaf fans your going to back your hero, I am the big bad guy in your eyes thats why im so glad i now do a multi rock show and broke away from the meat loaf tag should have done it years ago. I lost all respect for him when he sued jim steinman fo 50 million dollars!

  • http://WWW.MEATLOAF.ORG dean torkington

    The phrase in a drawer with your socks is an Amercanism! Its not something us Brits use, i had never heared that analogy before then!

  • http://WWW.MEATLOAF.ORG dean torkington

    i didnt leave any abuse on meat loafs website as im not a member of his website! you have to be a member to do that. The only abuse i have read is meat loaf swearinfg at his owwn fans who dare to critic his performances! and there are plenty!

  • Anthea Simmons

    You prevaricate Mr Torkington. Meat did not refer to your “sock drawer.” And you did go to the original Meat Loaf OIFC page the day following the interview, and did post an outburst of profanity that had to be removed. Nor did he interrupt you singing. You finished. There was an awkward silence, then Meat was asked to comment. You have shown him little respect for many, many years, so hanging it on the lawsuit with Steinman is simply smoke.

    One thing we can agree on. I am delighted if you are no longer going to perform your “tribute” Meat Loaf act. I think I can safely say all the reputable ML tributes in the UK will agree with me.

  • Anthea Simmons

    I should add that I have no particular connection with any Meat Loaf tribute act, have never even been to see one, and my aim was not to garner publicity for any of them as you imply. I notice you are jubilant about any PR this suit has attracted, but I referred to them simply because I think Chellie is endeavouring to be impartial, and their experience would be useful to hear. To apply your motivations and way of operating to others is never a sound assumption; you do not “see through” me, you just see tigers where none are there. My identity is what it is, and it is not that of any other tribute artist or one of their supporters

  • http://WWW.MEATLOAF.ORG dean torkington

    lies lies lies!! i will get that tape and post it!!! as for dropping the tribute , well its like this i have a show called legends of rock and in that 2 hour show theres a 4o minute tribute to the songs of jim steinman!! the man with the real talent!!! reputable meat loaf tributes!! 2 packed in last year and i wouldnt pay to see any of them! i did respect meatloaf until i saw him abusing his own fans on forums , sueing everyone, even 2 years ago he fired all his staff! i cannot stand the guy!”!! he is delluded and he cannot sing! he has fainted 4 times on stage over the last 6 years yet he still continues, a fine example of staying to long in the ring! meat did refer to the sock drawer!! i am not a liar!!!!!!!!! you have an axe to grind i dont like the guy and havnt for a very long time, i lost 160lb got fit and reinvented myself. pity he didnt do do! itheres a video on you tube at the afl and its apalling meat loaf had thousands of complaints , what did he say to these people? —- you butt smellers! i rest my case!

  • http://WWW.MEATLOAF.ORG dean torkington

    last post here, Thanks for putting my side of the story, why would a fan and someone who made a fortune on the back of meat loaf turn like this ? I worshipped the guy you dont suddenly turn against the hand that feeds you!!!!, but he did get me backstage and demanded my site, change my tour bus etc . He had all my videos removed from youtube, reported my album got that removed! slagged me off on virgin radio! and now the lawsuit! Is it any wonder love turned to hate! Meat loaf fans think im ungrateful thats their perogative but ask yourself why i bit the hand that fed me!!

  • Sam

    As much as it pains me to say this, Dean is right, Meat did mention sock draw. I also have this recording on my hard drive and I played it back after reading this. Although in Meats defense it really was not in the context that Dean describes. Having witnessed many many online rants from both Meat and Dean on this subject and many other subjects over the years, I have came to the conclusion it’s 6 of one and half a dozen of the other 🙂

  • http://WWW.MEATLOAF.ORG dean torkington

    Thanks for that sam, it now shows anthea simmons to be the one fabricating things here!my classic rock review was doubted , however i found the evidence for that! I dont lie, i admit in the past i became embroiled in rows with my competitors, but it was always in defense to their vitrol. Here we have peat loaf [pete rossi] saying i hounded him for 19 years! the facts are i retaliated to his allegations of me leaving nasty comments on his guestbook, it was never anyone else it was always me according to him! i havnt had any online contact with this clown for 5 years, yet here i am in the news on tv etc and who posts inflammatory flaming comments! not just here but on many websites talking about my lawsuit with meat loaf ? you got it failed singer pete rossi AKA PEATLOAF! What it is with him is he has always been aggreived that i got the lions share of work here in the uk, always got the big brewery chain tours above him! brannigans , chicago rock cafes etc etc and because i was reliable. [tribfest pete? ] pulled out at the last minute! So whos the stalker! by him coming here there and everywhere leaving nasty comments shows who the real troll is!Thanks sam for clearing my name onthe sock drawer comment, imagine how crushed i was having my idol say that to me!!!

  • STEVIE

    Yes, Dean is right he was pretty shook up immediately following this and left the venue. He should have gone to the police to report it…

    Dean, you were foolish to trust in people. It’s a dog eat dog industry and good guys like you can’t survive in a pit of lions!!

    Hold your head high and cease to rise anymore to people who are demonstrating no more than malicious ill and a desire to hurt you further; which is probably motivated by sheer spite.

    I ask what is the average age of these people who are posting the obscenity and fool language? Probably around 45 years.

    Despite their advanced years they behave like delinquents in the school yard.

  • Sam

    Dean I only SAID that the sock draw comment was said, as it was. But as I said before not in the context you’re portraying here. Meat said this in a nice way.

    By no stretch of the imagination do I agree with you on anything. Hence my ‘it pains me to say this’ comment…

    I also dispute that the rows with your competitors was in retaliation to anything. These were all instigated by you Dean.

    And as far as you having the Lions share of the work in the UK, the facts show that is not true as well. Steve Steinman is the one who has had the Lions share of the work here in the UK. Until he created his very successful show ‘Vampires Rock’ and then there was a gap in the market for you at Chicagos and the like.

  • STEVIE

    To a high degree it is who you know in the industry and not what you know or talent, however, it helps if you can sing – enough said on the subject!

  • STEVIE

    Sam, you said it’s 6 of one and half a dozen of the other – perhaps, you’ll retract that comment too!

  • STEVIE

    I wouldn’t advise anyone to enter the music industry. It’s like joining a pack of wolves. If one isn’t full of gas, and don’t have the ability or desire to suck up you don’t stand a chance making it in your own right.

    S. Steinman was an tribute act agent in his early days…contacts help!

  • zoe

    How true..but if you make it you have to work hard to stay there. It’s a bitchy industry through and through no one will diagree with that. People don’t care what they say to discredit you – fact! Read these posting – It’s not necessary, but it happens.

  • zoe

    I speak for the the guy trying to stand up for himself here..it must be difficult requiring great physical and mental effort to accomplish the difficult task of tritbuting. Resisting to rise to the accusations and constant put downs must make the the best question their effort. There is no doubt about it the footage above is excellent. One can see the effort and deternination to please the audiance is there. Dean should have grown a thicker skin by now!

  • http://WWW.MEATLOAF.ORG dean torkington

    In answer to your wild accusations I have a good relationship with 3 Meat Loaf Tributes, Terry Nash, lovely guy!! Mark Taylor , a great tribute known him 20 years , Craig Halford brilliant performer absolutely class!!!!!Now Steve Steinman, its well documented we have never got on, all started by him! Theres was an article in a motorcycle magazine saying I was the best Meat Loaf tribute in the UK! A WEEK LATER I GOT A LETTER FROM HIS SOLICITOR!!!!!I never asked them to put that in the mag! This shows how childish and petty he was!

    Matthew Shaw,, Three close friends of mine saw him at a club in my home town, he apparently spent most of the eve slagging me and my wife off on stag! When I confronted him he didnt deny it and wouldnt apologise .

    PEATLOAF LOL Say no more! Him coming here and on other boards shows who has been the instigator of online battles!! I havent had any dealings with this guy for years yet him and his cronies delight in **** stirring, made evident here!

    SEAN MALONEY, Slagged me off for mailing his venues, He is from wales, I have every right to mail any venue in the UK, I targeted all the venues in Wales that book tribute acts , obvoiously some of the venues I mailed had booked him previously He then posted on his site I was stealing his venues etc etc . However I know for a fact he has mailed venues I do, I dont mind, theres enough out there for everyone and a change is as good as a rest! If he is so good he has nothing to fear, just because a tribute act plays a venue it dosent give them exclusivity to play there indefinetly if a pizza company send you a leaflet it dosent mean they have the right above any other pizza delivery company, i think its good to give the clients a choice some pizzas are cheap, full of fat, doughy, tasteless and lack substance and dont satisfy, its nice to have the option of deluxe , great toppings, thin crusty base , satisfying and always have you asking for more!!!

  • http://WWW.MEATLOAF.ORG dean torkington

    you cant put someone down in a nice way!!!! i remember my reaction! i said cmon meat your killing me here, he said i dont care, you tell me you have a great vibrato, i dont hear it! some people are great at putting people down in a nice way, its become an art form for many!!

  • Zoe

    This is worse than kindergarten. If this is society today my heart bleeds for the children growing up today- what role models do they have to look upto?!

    For goodness sake read The Greatest Commandment and the Parable of the Good Samaritan.(Luke 10:25-37) You all need to look around your neighbourhood and beyound there are worst things happening in this world.

    I wish you all peace, health and happiness – wealth, yes I guess I do wish you wealth, but not in monetary sense. I was taught ‘your wealth is measured by the people that geniuinely love you’. Just look around how many people love you for you, and not what you have, do or say? It can be rather revealing! Are you wealthy? Go carefully 🙂

  • Anthea Simmons

    All these rows, arguments, claims of bad treatment at the hands of others that you relate in some stream of bizarre consciousness wherever you can on the internet Dean are, as someone has said, instigated by you and by your unprofessional behaviour. You need to show respect to gain it. Other UK Meat tributes respect man on whose success and name they make a living, and each other. You respect no-one but yourself .. and every comment you post around the internet is evidence of this.

  • http://WWW.MEATLOAF.ORG dean torkington

    your problem along with most fans is you think i should respect the guy! i dont! I used to but then you find that they are not what you thought. He has done nothing but complain about me, and made things difficult! i dont think u have a clue or actually read my posts! as i said respect 3 great meat loaf tributes! the ones who i have called have instigated the crap! can you read! do you even try to see what is being said here! take off the blinkers! I am so glad to be free of this guy, making it in my own right, slim looking great and my god lets face it Meat Loaf is no longer hip! he is past it and has become a massive embarresment and very sad to see! you can try to discredit me! you have your opinion and you know what i dont give a stuff what you think! you and the PSYCHOPHANTIC Meat fans turned it into a witch hunt all because i fell out of favour with your idol, that is shallow! you dont know me none of you do, i was a target by a small group and you were all intent on persecuting me for not worshopping at meat loafs alter! the guy is not very nice! he even says this in his own documentary the 3 bats one. he says i have been a jerk all my life and im trying to change , thing is he hasnt!

  • http://WWW.MEATLOAF.ORG dean torkington

I HAVE A VERY GOOD BARRISTER! WATCH THIS SPACE!

  • Sam

    That’s it Dean, you resort to shouting when people aren’t agreeing with what you say. Nothing new there huh… There has been many yrs of abuse from you to not only to Meat Tributes but also to his fans. You can dispute this all you like but people still have the proof of this. And not only the sycophante ones as you put it. You’ve abused anyone that thinks any other tribute but you is good.

    I would also go as far as saying what you say about Steve, Peat Loaf and Sean is a load of rubbish. I was around to watch it all unfold over the yrs and that’s your version of events not anyone elses. Shout and scream all you want. It doesn’t change the facts.

    To say fans turned it to a witch hunt cause you fell out of favour with Meat is also rubbish. There is many many instances of your verbal abuse to many all over the internet long before any of that happened.

    Stevie in reply to this comment of yours: Sam, you said it’s 6 of one and half a dozen of the other – perhaps, you’ll retract that comment too!

    Nope I do not need to retract it. At times it is exactly that. The pair of them resort to abuse when they don’t like what they read.

  • http://WWW.MEATLOAF.ORG dean torkington

    YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU LIKE , I ALSO HAVE THE PROOF OF HOW THE WITCH HUNT ESCALATED, YOU KNOCK ONE AND THEY ALL FALL DOWN, YOU ARE LIKE THE REST, LEMMINGS!!! ITS NOT RUBBISH, YOUR ALL SAD OBSESSED LOONYS!!! THINGS WERE GREAT WITH ME AND THE FANS UNTIL THE VIRGIN RADIO INCIDENT FAND THE BEING RANTED AT BACKSTAGE, YOU CAN COME HERE AND POST YOUR TWISTED VERSION OF EVENTS, I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED , I LIVED IT!!!!!!SEE EVEN NOW YOUR ASKING ANOTHER TO CHANGE HER OPINION, THATS WHAT YOUR ALL LIKE!!! TRYING TO GET THE OTHERS TO THINK LIKE YOU, THATS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED! I REMEMBER PEOPLE TAKING MY SIDE AND BEING RIDICULED AND TOLD TO CHANGE THEIR THINKING TOWARD ME!!! AS I SAID YOU DONT READ WHAT I HAVE POSTTED YOU HAVE YOUR SAD DELUDED OPINION AND AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, THE MEAT LOAF TRIBUTES THAT I GOT INTO ROWS WIITH ALWAYS STARTED IT! MANY WERE AND ARE JEALOUS I SING THEM OFF THE PARK FACT! THE ACCOUNTS ABOUT STEVE SENDING A SOLICITORS LETTER TO ME BECAUSE I WAS JUDGED IN A MAGAZINE AS THE FIRST AND BEST TRIBUTE IN THE UK IS TRUE! AND THE OTHER AVCCOUNTS. I HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH 4 OTHER TRIBUTES!!! LAST POST HERE I HAVE FAR BETTER THINGS TO DO , BYE CARYL!

  • http://WWW.MEATLOAF.ORG dean torkington

    Thats my version of events is it, you calling me a liar! go to seans site, where he says cant put my dates on because another tribute mails my venues!As i said before , i mailed every venue in wales and he was annoyed and accused me of poaching his venues!!whatever you say you have your opinion and version of events i have mine!!! [the truth!] leave it at that!
