    Great, maybe the best Steinman interview - just 155 views and 0 comments lol. Totally crazy. Thanks for sharing this section of it man!

      Thank you so much! I think that there are so few comments because he wasn’t exactly a household name.
      He however should have been. Agreed? great for having sex. At least try it that way too hunderstorms can do wonders I wish we were having a good storm in an NYC even though my fiancé is on tour in France right now and will be for another month. But I have a toy that will help me keep whatever mind I have left thank goodness
      Peace out I have something important to take care of.

    Absolutely LOVE these intimate insights by legends of music. So so many people whom lived their lives thru certain songs don’t realize those songs were conceived and arranged by people like Steinman.
    These behind the scenes heroes of music are the magic of our lives as humans.

    How anybody could even write Bat out of Hell blows my mind. And it's funny, he's says "how did I come up with that?" But he did. True Legend!

    • @matthewphilip1977
      @matthewphilip1977 3 місяці тому

      Yeah, it's fascinating. Incredible song. But when he explains the process, it becomes a bit less incredible (although not less great). Title first. Some words. More words. Opening riff borrowed from Jailhouse Rock. All his other influences. Work at it. Work at it some more. Get Meat. Get producer. Shape it. Shape it some more. Etc. Still a monumental acheivement though. Up there with Bohemian Rhapsody as a piece of art, something way more than a rock song.

  • @martiwest2594

    God I love this man he was the best and prolific songwriter ever, not write for Meat Loaf but many others. A few things are he wrote are Left in the Dark Again (my particular favorite, which Barbra Streisand sang beautifully,
    Others this great man wrote are
    Making Love out of nothing at All recorded by Air Supply
    He was also very talented musically and he sang like an angel. He was a genius, gone too soon, for sure. There won’t be another like him or Meat either

    Amazing, wonderful all the info that Steinman tell us about the background behind every song. Specially he is fond of old country music. I never thought he was so nice and open to talk about the process of his lyrics. Rest In Peace and I hope play togheter with Meat forever 🙏❤️🙏

    His mind ran at lightspeed. He was genuinely gifted and he used those gifts to spread joy and emotion to 0:00 millions of people. Meatloaf and him were absolutely matched set. Hopefully they are collaborating in Heaven

    Didn't Todd Rundgren have something to do with this album? I never really cared for it that much probably because it played too much on the radio .

      Todd produced and actually played on the album.
