Meatloaf R.I.P
He had a great voice and some fantastic songs.

Real sad...
Sad day indeed… immense voice, personality and unforgettable songs.
My mum used to crank the Bat out of hell album on the school run to get us hyped, I can't believe the news
I always liked his attitude. I used to work with a gifted but boorish fellow music journo who built his rep in part by asking stars the outrageous questions no one else would. After weeks of negotiating with Meat’s people, he secured an exclusive interview ahead of a UK tour. We cleared the front page of the mag for the piece. He met the man at his hotel. First question: “So Meat. Tell me: is it glandular, or what?”
End of interview…
Some amazing histrionic and stagy songs. In the best way. He could be like listening to fever dream. He was at his best partnered with Jim Steinman.
I’ll have to give him a spin today in his honor.
A blast from the past Samu.
Used to listen to it a LOT when I was younger (born -72).
Completely unexpected. Losing so many of the pop culture personalities that were present in my youth.
“That’s no way to pick your friends!”
“Uhh… let me sleep on it…”
His name is Meatloaf.
If you can find the story of how he got involved in this it’s really entertaining. He played the role in the first US stage show, which also involved playing Dr Scott, and after getting the part he was told he would have to wear fishnet stockings for the part of Dr Scott…
Loved the Bat out of Hell track and album when it was released. Sounded so unlike anything else, due in large part to Meatloaf’s voice.
RIP
Isn't theater the way that he and Jim Steinman hooked up?
I think so. Meatloaf was in a musical that Steinman wrote, and they agreed to collaborate outside of theater.
welp, its bee a while since i spit up my morning coffee. lol.
RIP. He just became a music legend. Too young.
I got to work with him once on a music video, he was really sweet and even gave me a hug. I have been a huge fan of his and Steinman’s for a long time. I just love that over the top stuff.
There's an article in today's New York Times on How Meat Loaf Made a Cult Favorite: ‘Paradise by the Dashboard Light.': Here's the link: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/22/arts/music/meat-loaf-paradise-by-the-dashboard-light.html.
Even though the "Bat Out Of Hell" album has the huge production sound I seem to remember Todd Rundgren saying that was recorded in an almost "live style" session with most of the musicians and singers in one room and very few overdubs. They rehersed so much they could do the songs right through in a take with Meatloaf doing a reference vocal that would be replaced later.
In the BBC program "The Producers - Todd Rundgren" they get the original multitrack and solo each track to work out how the songs were put together. Worth listening to...
1977.
No label was interested in it and Todd convinced Bearsville (Albert Grossman) to pay for recording the album with a view to then selling it to another label for release. They shopped it around and nobody was interested. After 6 months they finally got a small label to release it and it sold 43 million copies. It's like everybody turning down signing The Beatles.
I seem to remember that Todd Rundgren ended up putting money into producing the album rather than making money from it (and recouping it later after the deal was signed).
His name was Robert Paulson!
RIP
Wikipedia says that Todd paid for the album himself, but I don't think that is the story that Todd tells in the interview in the BBC's "The Producers - Todd Rundgren" show.
I got the impression that Todd helped get funding, mainly from Albert Gossman (Bob Dylan's ex manager and owner of Bearsville Records).
A wonderfully entertaining performer, so glad I got to see him live in his heyday. He will be much missed.
