    We all grew up banging our heads to this.
    I know I did.







    R&R legend, icon.
    Thank you for the decades of not just musical, but theatrical entertainment as well.
    Rough start to the new year for R&R and pop.
    Last week Ronnie, now this.

    Classic Rock 101.1
    This hits me hard. Bat Out of Hell is my favorite album of all time, the soundtrack of my teenage years. I must have listened to it over 1000 times. 8-track, vinyl, cassette, CD and now, of the 70 or so songs on my phone, all 7 tracks from that album have been on there for about 5 years now.
    I’ll be listening to all of them on the ride to work this morning. Heaven Can’t Wait…..rest in peace Meat Loaf. Chris Lee

    #MeatLoaf #BatOutOfHell

    Our hearts are broken to announce that the incomparable Meat Loaf passed away tonight surrounded by his wife Deborah, daughters Pearl and Amanda

    Extremely underrated in my opinion. Three years or so ago, I saw a musical in London's West End called "Bat Out of Hell", featuring his music. It was fantastic. There was some talk of bringing it to our side of the pond. If anyone gets the chance, see it.

    to each his own when it comes to music but its lyrics like this that I love ....

    And now the chilly California wind
    Is blowing down our bodies again
    And we're sinking deeper and deeper
    In the chilly California sand

    Oh I know you belong inside my aching heart
    And can't you see my faded Levis bursting apart
    And don't you here me crying
    'Oh Babe, don't go?'
    And don't you hear me screaming
    'How was I to know?'




    [Verse 6]
    I'm in the middle of nowhere
    Near the end of the line
    But there's a border to somewhere waiting
    And there's a tankful of time
    Oh give me just another moment
    To see the light of the day
    And take me to another land
    Where I don't have to stay
    And I'm gonna need somebody
    To make me feel like you do
    And I will receive somebody
    With open arms, open eyes
    Open up the sky and let the planet
    That I love shine through

    [Chorus]
    For crying out loud
    You know I love you
    For crying out loud
    You know I love you
    For crying out loud
    You know I love you
    For crying out loud
    You know I love you




    [Bridge]
    For taking in the rain when I'm feeling so dry
    For giving me the answers when I'm asking you why
    My oh my, for that I thank you
    For taking in the sun when I'm feeling so cold
    For giving me a child when my body is old
    Don't you know for that I need you

    For coming to my room when you know I'm alone
    For finding me a highway and for driving me home
    And you've gotta know
    For that I serve you

    For pulling me away when I'm starting to fall
    For revving me up when I'm starting to stall
    And all in all for that I want you

    For taking and for giving and for playing the game
    For praying for my future in the days that remain
    Oh Lord for that I hold you

    [Chorus]
    Ah but most of all
    For crying out loud

    For that I love you
    Ah but most of all
    For crying out loud
    For that I love you
    Ah but most of all
    For crying out loud
    For that I love you

    What's the first rule?

    I have several Meatloaf stories, this is one of my favorites.

    The NY Times has a penchant for using the prefix 'Mr." in front of peoples names.
    For instance when they reviewed "Scent of a Woman" they referred to Al as Mr. Pacino

    Awhile back, the Times' reviewed a Meatloaf concert he performed at Madison Square Garden.
    The referred to him as Mr. Loaf

    Too funny

    That's not auto tune, there no video/audio tricks here, that's just two of the all time greats (even though Patti Russo is not a household name) going at it.

    IMO, there wasn't a singer alive that had more raw passion, balls to the wall vocal power, that left fukking nothing on the stage.
    When Meat sung, you knew it. When Meat sung you got the whole nine yards.

    Meatloaf with Patti Russo.
    And if that's not great enough that's the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra backing them up, one of the greatest.

    My friend convinced me in the 90s that lyric "I'd do anything for love (but I won't do that)..was eating ass.
    I would always think about that on the rare occasion I performed that act. RIP Meatloaf (aka. Non-salad tosser)

    He had several problems.
    Years and years of throat problems, bleeding throat cancer.
    He used to travel with big ass oxygen tanks hooked up directly by the stage out of sight.
    He'd hyperventilate his roadies said.
    That was Meatloaf, he knew of only one way, balls to the wall.

    Yeah, I don't think he was supposed to make it even to 70.
