Disturber Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Yeah, bloody hell. I remember a C90 cassette I had with Bat out of Hell. I wore out that tape. Must have been early 1980's. I saw him once at an outdoor gig. It was in 1985 and he had his leg in a big cast that covered the whole leg. I don't remember the gig as anything special. Still cool to have seen him. Here's a shot from Knebworth in 1985 just prior to the gig I saw. RIP Meatloaf. Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Damn, just heard. Bat out of hell 2 was actually my first exposure to the loaf. Then I went back thru his older stuff. Article I read said no cause of death had been listed but he was 74 and obese his entire life. It was just a matter of time. RIP… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Man Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I just read this. I must have listened to the original Bat Out of Hell album a million times as a youth. Great songwriter and performer. RIP Good Sir, go rocking into the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princeofdarkness56 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 First impressions for me was the Rocky Horror Picture Show and then his vocal duty on Ted Nugents Free for All album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjamiam Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 HDJ. I appreciated that he performed his songs instead of only singing. What a voice. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugby1970 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Love him or hate him some of his songs were very good. Years ago I was with my brother and two of my sisters visiting our parents in Crystal River, FL. When the rents went to bed we all went out to one of the local bars. A sign next to the door actually read "Two teeth minimum" (I shit you not), it was that kind of place. So, we're at the bar just drinking and talking; a lot of locals there and the place was about 3/4 full. Then "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" comes on and a lot of us were singing a bit. Then the Phil Rizzuto part starts and the singing gets louder. All of the female singers in bar move to one side of the bar and the male singers move to the other side of the bar and start the call and response, the "will you love me forever" bit. It was very loud and animated and to be honest, a hell of a lot of fun. The song finishes and everyone goes back to their original places and acts like nothing happened. Like in a play when an musical number begins and ends and the dialogue resumes like nothing ever happened. F'ing surreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveL Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 He was a big baseball fan and coached youth sports. Pretty cool... Read a story that Meat said Phil Rizzuto knew exactly what the song was about and wasnt so concerned about the sexual content but mostly wanted to know if it was an album you’d have to get HIGH to enjoy. Meat said it’s probably better if you don’t get high and he said. Ok. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie G. Moseley Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 ^^^Notice that Nuge's guitar is missing its bridge... ...and this is gonna sound hackneyed, but so what: "Reed 'Em and Weep" is my favorite Meat Loaf song (how did he not have a hit with it when Manilow, of all people, did?) and my reflex reaction on hearing of his passing was that the title of that song had a new-but-evanescent meaning.
