(Gibson) Fresh off being a cast member on The Celebrity Apprentice, Meat Loaf has announced a handful of summer tour dates. The concerts will promote the singer's most recent album, Hang Cool Teddy Bear, which features guest spots from Brian May, Steve Vai and Jack Black.

In a recent interview, Meat Loaf spoke about his frustrations with rock critics and their reaction to his latest album, according to Ultimate Classic Rock. "Critics tend to want to dismiss me," he said. "And you can tell them; the people that have given this album a good review and the people that have given it a bad � who's heard it and who hadn't.

"The people that have heard it have generally given it a pretty fair, decent review. The people that only skimmed it � there's very few critics that have listened to the entire version of 'Peace on Earth.' And my comment is that if U2 had have done 'Peace on Earth,' it woulda been the second coming � and it would've been." more on this story
