Patti joined Meat Loaf after singing "Oh Darling" at an audition in New York. Meat told the story of Patti's audition before Patti sang "Oh Darling" during the European shows in spring of 1999. The story goes that after Patti left the audition they were all looking out of the window & John noticed Patti kicking a city bus because she thought she hadn't made it into the band...
"Once
upon a time there was a salon assistant who dreamt of becoming a singer. Though
she worked with a small local band in the wee hours of the night, her visions
were far greater. One day she came across an audition in the local music paper.
Quickly she gathered her songs and went on her way. She was to audition for the
King of Bublandia, who ruled the world of Rock n' Roll. She sang with a passion
so great that when she left the audition, she kicked a local peddler in the
street (well it was really a local bus, but hey, it's my fairy tale!). The king
sounded the trumpets that they had found their singer (OK, so he called on the
phone), and she sang happily ever after. Life with Meat Loaf has been like a
Rock n' Roll fairy tale come true. He took me under his wing and saw someone who
wanted to learn and let me go for it. Very few people are fortunate enough to
get a chance to follow their dreams and live them. Fewer still get an honest
person to give them that chance -- do I feel lucky! I've been dealt a royal
flush. "....Patti
