Absolutely! Now at 68 yo, I remember Meat Loaf singing this great song live in concert in 1977 in Toronto, Canada. He was a rock/opera powerhouse vocalist! What an artist, a true LEGEND!! May he RIP. 🙏 ❤
As Meatloaf said, he was an actor who could sing. He is permanently on my playlist, but every now and then, I have to see him in a live video to recall his passion on stage. RIP Meatloaf, may your songs never die.
This is my absolute favourite Meat Loaf single. So many summer memories. So much laughter and crying, dancing and kissing to this song. Rest in peace. ♡
Saddened to hear the big man is gone physically. Iwas 19 when this man helped make the 70`s a great decade, Wild and free. If only i could go back to that era now Thank you Meatloaf
My disabled mother, despite barely being able to speak a full sentence uninterrupted, can sing along to Meatloaf and Queen word for word. Singing along the way you'd expect a teenager from the 70's to do so (loud and enthusiastic).
Rest In Peace brother. Not the matinee idol looks, as you put it, but damn what a voice. With the help of Jim, you created one of the greatest albums ever!!! We lost a legend today. 🙏
Meat had a voice like no other, I'm 59 and the music he and and Jim Steinman created together are a huge part of the hits that created the soundtrack to my life and for the people in my generation. He took us from teenagers well into our adult years, all the way back to Rocky Horror up until now. His music will be loved by future generations as well!
I'm 26, I remember being 10 years old in my dad's car when he was in a shop, I thought I'd put one of his cds in, it was the bat out of hell album, been hooked ever since. Meat Loaf is the reason I love all types of rock music, and he has had such a huge influence on what I listen to. May he rest in peace 🙏 Legend.
@@thomasbroomfield5871 I'm glad to hear that younger generations have found him and enjoy him. He was a wild, theatrical and over the top full energy showman, especially in his younger days when he was a big man and got the nickname meat loaf because of it. If you can, look up some of his old concert footage from that first tour, it's amazing and powerful stuff live!
Another thing really special to guys my age is that we were teenagers and we truly were experiencing "paradise by the dashboard lights" when the song came out! 😉 Wonderful memories...
How many generations must suffer through adolescence without Meatloaf? May his music forever be a pillar for teenage emotions that are as powerful and mysterious as his music.
Yes, especially here that applies. His dad was horrible. He had to fight hard to get his music heard. He couldn't find anyone to believe a fat kid, could sell concerts tickets.
His music expressed what every teen was feeling back then 🌹 Listening now brings me right back aaahhh Love 💕💕💕 What a Gift he left us All! RIP Meatloaf
RIP to my childhood, to the days of incredible music and even more incredible musicians. These are times that when we lose people like this, I lose a piece of myself as well. May our fractured memories rest in peace with the incredible people that gave them to us.
RIP Legend please get his channel trending. So sad may he sing and be in peace in heaven and I grew up listening to meatloaf from my parents. Great voice and great songs. Rip
My mom rocked this album on 8-track in our family station Wagon for my whole childhood! So now I can sing like every old Meatloaf song! My friends think I'm crazy but meatloaf rocks! I'll always be a fan and think of my mom whenever I hear it! She's a BADASS too! 🎉😂😂😂😊🎉
At 57 and in retrospection: Nostalgia and good music from the 70s does not get any stronger or better than this. I feel honored to have lived as this band's contemporary (yes, Meat, Jim Steinman, and all the ensemble). Thank the heavens for this album gracing my time on this planet 😎
I'm NOT a singer by any stretch, but when I'm alone in my car, I sing to Meat at the top of my lungs with the volume on full blast. When I'm done, there's no more need to take anxiety meds. Cancel the therapy session.
@@arapahosundancer that would be wild. Right. Another blast from the past You took the words right outta my mouth, Ohh🎤 It must've been when you were kissing me. Also Paradise by the dashboard light. Oh you gotta do what you can and let mother nature do the rest, well we were merely 17 and we were barely dressed. Love them and him. REST PEACEFULLY SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF OUR DEAR FATHER GOD 🙏🏻 IN HEAVEN ABOVE 💋💋💋💋✌️
Brilliant songwriting by Jim Steinman. Not only can Meatloaf sing but he understands the material. Like he and Jim were one. It takes a special combination of people to pull these off. Brilliant.
Now that's what I call a tune! Take note modern day musicians, music is suppose to be fun, joyous, uplifting and doesn't take itself too seriously. Thanks Meatloaf for the memories, rest in peace big guy 🙏
Saying you can’t believe it 46 years old and that because great songs never truly age and what another great legend rip my friend you may be gone but won’t be forgotten and thanks for the memories you left behind
How this man made it to 74, I will never know. If you were lucky enough to see him live back in the late 70s and early 80s, by the ends of his concerts he had given so much of himself he looked like he would drop dead on the spot. He put on some of the greatest concerts I've ever, ever seen. Rest easy, Mr. Loaf.
1974 - 1970s 1980s You are mentally lazy when you cannot manage to write the years correctly. Do you not know how a calendar functions? Besides the 70s was almost 1950 years ago
Wife and I were blessed to see him in the 90’s. Out of the 6-7 bands that night he was by far the best. It was just like the videos. He will be missed. RIP
RIP Jim steinman, you were a kickass songwriter and you wrote some of the most badass music ever! Edit: RIP meat, now your up there with jim writing killer music while riding out like a bat out of hell
Saw Meat live in England in 94,96,99, Back when I was 16, 18 and 21. I miss those days, the amount of effort Meat puts into his live shows is incredible. I was deaf and had ringing in my ears for about 3 days after every live event. I must have every album except for Meat Loaf and stoney, I need that. Look at how hard bands worked back then to get famous or recoginised and now you see these manufactured shyte flooding the charts re-releasing old classics that they never wrote and they can't even play instruments.. Where did effort and the love for music go?
Same here sandy .. makes you feel old lol . First cassette I bought for my car when I passed my test . Driving about at all hours blasting the legend out 🙂
I’m 56. Went through the album on record, cassette and I don’t know how many cd’s I’ve worn out of it, maybe 3 😊 RIP Meat. Now you’re reunited with Jim, and your parents ✝️
Same here I'm 56 I was at boarding school when it was released. We had it one cassette, by the end of the year we'd knackered about copies of it. It's still in my all time top 10 albums of all time. There's not one weak song on the whole album.
Meatloaf is the only rocker I know of that can wear suspenders and still look like a rocker. I'm 62 now and can still sing along every word. Stone cold classic.
@@bernadettemintmier9618 you got that right he is sexy and he probably didn't know how to please the ladies I went to see him in concert a few times he was awesome
My God. I'm listening to this masterpiece on a hot summer night as I have been for many years and my knees are still weak. Soooo good. Thank you so much, Meatloaf. Love you forever.
This album has everything… so many memories from my school days in the 1980,s always makes me smile .. thanks for the great music meat loaf .. A true legend will miss you man x
OMG I love this man-- my youth.... 1978 I am 16.... In love , this album blew me away! I am now 58 and start tearing. up about lost loves! But god gave me my AWESOME generation!🙂👍
Right there with you! Midwest high school class of 80! It is great to listen to the songs now, but there was nothing like listening to them in 78, 79 and 80!
The Dashboard Light has dimmed 😭. RIP to a true legend. Thank you for the great music and all the memories Big Guy. Forever a rock n roll legend. What he gave this world with his music, voice, personality and passion will forever be a gift that will keep giving. I loved his music as a young boy, and as I was growing up realized his music was not just awesome and fun, but also a great stress reducer. I can not tell you how many times I’d play his music, throw back my head, close my eyes and just let his passionate voice run through my soul. It’s the best form of meditation i’ve ever experienced, and that’s the amazing gift Meatloaf left us all with. Thank you for being such a huge part of my childhood, as well as my adult life. My love, hugs, thoughts and prayers to his family, and friends, and thank you for sharing this incredible man and his gift with us all.
This whole album is a modern masterpiece. It will stand the test of time for another century and people will still be listening to it because this music was raw passion and talent, and people can instantly connect to it
1977, it took that summer by STORM, will never forget it, "Bat Our of Hell" top 3 albums of all time! Not only because of its musical content but what it did to a nation, it captivated it, NEVER get's old !!!!
Well....we just had it better. Any type of music was played and more freedom to try different things. Since what 2000. The new music has no where to go..hence all these shows that have new singers singing old songs ect. We win. Now im stopping my babbling and go reenjoy this somg cause this just drips hot summer nights.
MeatLoaf will live forever through his amazing music... was a pleasure growing up with this talented singer and his incredible music.. Every kid I knew had The Bat Out Of Hell Album from MeatLoaf.... RIP
RIP to a legend. I used to sit with a little cassette listening to his songs over and over again as a child. My parents loved his music and I fell in love with it. Brings back great moments of singing it in the car with my mum who is no longer here also
I can SO, SO relate to you, sweetheart!! Everything you've said...I can relate to, I can feel it and remember it! 😥 I think you're in the UK, yes? I LOVE it there, and lived there for a very brief time in the early 90's...Meatloaf takes me back to my childhood, in the 70's, and to a time that , although it, in reality was not that innocent, at least FELT innocent - unlike nowadays, when the US is boiling over with psychotic, conspiracy theory driven freaks who THINK they prefer Autocracy - and are itching to use their guns on the rest of us to try and make that happen - because they're so oblivious to the fact that they're being used and manipulated that they are, literally, BLIND to the fact that, should our democracy crumble, the Autocratic government that will follow will be just as horrific for them and as awful to their lives as it will be for those of us who are desperately terrified of it and who've spent their/our lives trying to vote, protest and do acts of activism against it! OMG! I'M SO SORRY, SWEETHEART!!🙏 Please, excuse my tangent! It's just that my memories of listening to Meatloaf when my older Sis would babysit me in the mid 70's , while my parents would be out on a Saturday night, with the doors all open in our house, and the warm summer air so lovely....it was just so, so different than today.... Meatloaf ALWAYS takes me back to that! The song - HIS version (so much better than Celine Dion's version!) - "its all coming back to me now"n just turns on my faucet and makes me cry like crazy! Anyway, sweetheart, I'm so sorry - even though we are strangers - for the loss of your mom - sorry, mum, and I wish you comfort. I also wish you Happiness, Joy, Love, Abundance and Safety and Good Health for you and all of your family and friends, throughout the New Year and beyond! 🙏 Enjoy your beautiful country, as well! I am so envious! My husband and I have decided that, if at all possible (i.e., if we will be accepted..), if/when our country and it's democracy collapses, or even if it doesn't, once our financial situation allows for us to do more than vacation there, that we'd like to move to the UK. We've both always loved other countries, (I've lived in a few, for short times), have mostly foriegn friends and both have multiple family members who are ex-pats, and live in various countries - from Eastern and Western Europe, to South and Southeast Asia, including, but not only, India and China and other East Asian Countries, to Latin America... including South America, i.e. Argentina, Mexico - and, to me, England always felt so "right"...like the place in which I should have been born, to begin with. It would be nice, however, if we could, simply, CHOOSE to go to live there...as opposed to RUN there, because of a collapsing democracy and/or a civil war...🙏 Anyway, sorry, again, for the tangent! SMH! Please, have a beautiful day! I hope its not raining too badly there! I know many of you don't like the rain...here, in Los Angeles, many of us ( myself, especially, as drought or no drought, I've ALWAYS loved rain ) are, at the very least, grateful to get it, since it can go so long (years, sometimes) without any rain ! Love, from across the pond, Michele ☺️
1 of the best , the talent this man has and his band mates , will live on forever . breaks my hart to hear he is gone . i dont think anyone has put the passion and energy in a show more then this man , rest easy
This loss does really hurt. He did so many great songs... A lot of them weren't noticed. A great singer. A lot of posers might pretend to be rockers but they never caught the spirit of what rock really is. R.I.P. Meat Loaf at the side of a Gibson Les Paul. Thanks for that wonderful music!
These tunes were the soundtrack to my childhood. My brothers played this album and Bad Attitude as they got ready to out on a Saturday night...it hatched the Rockchick in me!
Consist persistence and pure talent.......as well as luck i assume lets be thankful he made it cause i dont want to think about a world with out his music.....also thanks Jim as well
To me, meatloaf is the greatest of all time. I’m 29 but was lucky enough to see him in 2013, it may have been at the end of his career but I will forever cherish the fact I got to see him live. I will play this to my future children and grandchildren and meat loaf’s music will live forever ❤️
I'm 21 years old and Meat Loaf is my favorite musician of all time. I listen to his music every day. I intend to show my kids and their kids all of his gorgeous music.
1977 in my bed with earplugs and a TAPE RECRDER under my pillow, at boarding school in a small town called Plumtree in Rhodesia. I listened and sang along to this in heartbreak and bliss 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ What memories. Thank you Lord for Meat Loaf.
He is one of the very few who was uber famous and had fallen into near obscurity only to return a decade later Nd have a second completely separate round of complete iconic-ness. Not too many like that. Aerosmith is another. Amazing when you consider 99.999999% of us will never get a first round of fame. Lightning struck twice for this guy, for sure.
@@SGADRM Without Steinman, Meatloaf is talented but he would not of been famous... Meat's album without Steinman failed miserably... They patched things up later on and Meat sang a few songs from Jim's solo project, "Bad For Good".
The greatest music ever in the history of man. A song from my generation. I remember that time when emotions were running high where anything was possible in life. We all wanted to celebrate life everyday and all listened to all these magnificent creations. 35 years later, I can reminisce of that time of my life that went by too fast. Hanging around with so many friends and joking laughing with all the comradery. It happened like the blink of an eye and now I sometimes ponder what all my friends are doing these days in their lives. I am certain that there will never be music of this greatness ever again.
This man still sends shivers down my spine with the power and passion he projects into all his songs. Meatloaf you always will be the world's greatest 👌💞
This mother father had 1 helluva stage presence and voice to match. He wanted to sing opera. I bet he would have really popularized opera by 100 fold he was awesome. RIP Meat❤❤😓😥😥
Hard to believe this song was released 46 years ago! It still sounds as good as it did in 1978.
Absolutely! Now at 68 yo, I remember Meat Loaf singing this great song live in concert in 1977
in Toronto, Canada. He was a rock/opera powerhouse vocalist! What an artist, a true LEGEND!!
May he RIP. 🙏 ❤
Sounds of my youth. I was 17 when Bat Out of Hell was released. It literally spoke to 17 year old young men.
I love Meatloaf! RIP. I can’t believe he’s gone! 😌
Some singers and their songs are timeless Meat Loaf was one of them
I was 4 in 1978. I'm now 50.
Just heard the news..such a powerhouse in the music industry..R.I.P..shall be sadly missed..never forgotten. The music lives on. Forever MEATLOAF. 🌹🌹🌹
Damn. I just heard it too. 😔
That is exactly what I was going to say, but hey, "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth "
Me too. You can't go past this one
Best of the best
yes, very sad :/
That is Jim Stiennman, speaking from the beginning of the song. For the longest time, i didn't know that.❤😂😮😅😊
This man could sing rock, opera, pop, country, and the blues. He was one of the greatest frontmen ever.
And Gospel, don’t forget Gospel was his first. Love him forever❤️
@@marmartin528 Yes, Marvin was a believer, God be praised.
Heaven is richer with him there.
I couldn't agree more, I went to see him and had a massive stage presence 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🏴☮️💝👍🎸
Ike the rocky horror show
Very true!
As Meatloaf said, he was an actor who could sing.
He is permanently on my playlist, but every now and then, I have to see him in a live video to recall his passion on stage.
RIP Meatloaf, may your songs never die.
Love the videos to get the full ML treatment!
his songs will never die
Same here. Always in the top 5 favorite singers for me.
Don't worry, they won't!
The man was downright theatrical in his performances! I would love to incorporate his hits into a stage musical.
This is my absolute favourite Meat Loaf single. So many summer memories. So much laughter and crying, dancing and kissing to this song. Rest in peace. ♡
It’s mine as well. Going to be singing along to this all morning
Nostalgia for sure!
Same!!
Same!
Same here! So many beach time memories to this song!!
R.I.P. Meat Loaf... what a talent. Bat Out Of Hell one of the greatest albums of all time.
Cassettes wore out..many times
Loved that album. He was such a unique entertainer. Sad news
@@richardh8355 Lol. Cassettes were the fab
All I can say to that is , Without Doubt . RIP and thanks for the Music
One of the best selling albums of all time too.
Jim could write 'em, Meat could belt them out, and the whole group could really put on a show! at 75 I still rock out to Meat and Jim
Saddened to hear the big man is gone physically. Iwas 19 when this man helped make the 70`s a great decade, Wild and free. If only i could go back to that era now Thank you Meatloaf
This was the first LP I bought, with my first wage packet, in 1978. And still enjoying it in 2024
RIP Meat Loaf. You are the true legend and your music will live forever.
My disabled mother, despite barely being able to speak a full sentence uninterrupted, can sing along to Meatloaf and Queen word for word. Singing along the way you'd expect a teenager from the 70's to do so (loud and enthusiastic).
That's one of the most beautiful list things I've ever heard . 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💕 To ur Mother
That has put a smile on my face! 😌
You said what is great about Meatloaf beautifully.
That is awesome; and I’m sure therapy for her!
Cool
Still listening to Meatloaf in 2024. RIP Michael Aday.
He changed it to Michael but it was originally Marvin
Always!
Meat Loaf didn't just sing a song. He performed it, like no one else. He was one of a kind, and that kind was great.
Yup. As did Brad Delp. They both sang w/ soul.
Meat Loaf
Rest In Peace brother. Not the matinee idol looks, as you put it, but damn what a voice. With the help of Jim, you created one of the greatest albums ever!!! We lost a legend today. 🙏
Ya he took Jim's songs to another level.

He took us from teenagers well into our adult years, all the way back to Rocky Horror up until now. His music will be loved by future generations as well!
Summed it up nicely. Part of my heart is broken.

Yup.
Rest in peace Meatloaf you legend. So sad that he's gone
🙏🏻
No greater artist ever, and yet so humble and kind to his fans. You're terribly missed.
Amen - fabulous guy.
@@martm216 His love and appreciation of his fans, put me in tears, more than once!
@@williamlegall2988ah that's lovely. He was something quite out of the ordinary. Heaven is richer and this old Earth the poorer.
@@martm216 No question, and what a beautiful comment!
Freddy was his equal
When cruising down the road nothing beats Meatloaf. Full throttle, windows down!
That is so true ......G#dSpeed, Meat Loaf, you are Greatness !!!!!!!!!!
….like a bat out of Hell!
There's not another minute to waste.
How many generations must suffer through adolescence without Meatloaf? May his music forever be a pillar for teenage emotions that are as powerful and mysterious as his music.
I love him.
He was fantastic
They've got nicki minaj lmao
Rest In Peace, MeatLoaf. May your spirit live on like a bat out of hell.
We lost a legend, at age 74.
🙏🏻
Rip from Ireland 🇮🇪
AMEN 🙏
🙏
This album is a rock and roll masterpiece. Rest in Peace Legendary Meatloaf.
Don't forget Jim Steinman who wrote the songs, and Todd Runtgren who produced it.
Perfection sums it up best.
RIP Meatloaf. I fully expect his music to live on in the same way Queen’s has all these decades after Freddie’s death.
Yes!!!You took the words right out of my mouth....😥
@Alex Butters And I feel honored that Meatloaf lived in my home state of Connecticut for years. Thank you!
This guy was a PERFORMER!!! He was SO good at EVERYTHING he did - his whole show, his band mates - UNMATCHED!!!
The only cast member in RHPS that could stand up to tim Curry's stage presence.
For sure, you took the words right out of my mouth! 😁
This man poured his heart and soul into everything he did. RIP to a legend
Yes he did even my mother lived him strange she passed away June 7, 2021 I will miss them both terribly!! RIP
I couldn't have said it better. Now he can sing his heart ❤ out with no pain in heaven.
Just wait till he gets back.
Rip. Meat loaf
Yes, especially here that applies. His dad was horrible. He had to fight hard to get his music heard. He couldn't find anyone to believe a fat kid, could sell concerts tickets.
Can't believe he's gone....such a great singer!!!!
Yea
Yep
A character and you don't get them much these days.
The Wuhan Virus got him. Very sad. Piss on China. I don't normally speak this way but when we lose one of the greats it hurts.
His songs are forever embedded in the memories of my youth. RIP Meat Loaf.
well said sir,mine too
Mine too!!
They’re Jim Steinman’s songs he was the genius who created these masterpieces.
This guy had a tremendous voice what a great loss to music
It's sad what has happened to the music industry- where is the talent like this now?
His music expressed what every teen was feeling back then 🌹
Listening now brings me right back aaahhh Love 💕💕💕
What a Gift he left us All!
RIP Meatloaf
So sad too hear that eatloaf passed really like is music rest in piece will really miss his singing
We lose another legend today. RIP Meatloaf. You’ll always be loved.
From an age when rock stars WERE rock stars…..thank you Meat for the memories
Definitely one of the greatest voices and style of all times.. we were lucky to have born in that generation
Love this ❤
YES definitely ❤
I was born to late
You said it well. We were blessed to be born and here his music
@@susankirby2104😢❤person I Was 1@
My husband died the same day and from the same cause. RIP Meatloaf and RIP my Dearest Mad Scientist.
Oh Tracy - so sad on both accounts. God Bless! Patrick
Who is old enough to remember going to the record store to buy this Masterpiece of Rock Music ? RIP Meatloaf.
Me
8 Track
I'm not old enough but I remember snitching it from my dad's CD shelves during the 90's when I was a kid 😁
i wish i did that, i wish i saw him live, he was phneominal
Had the album and listened to it on a Pioneer turntable and La Scala speakers. Good times.
RIP to my childhood, to the days of incredible music and even more incredible musicians. These are times that when we lose people like this, I lose a piece of myself as well. May our fractured memories rest in peace with the incredible people that gave them to us.
I’m blaring this song on my doc and singing along to the top of lungs. RIP!! This was some amazing music 🙏
almost same thing i posted on fb,feels like part of my youth died today.
Amen
Meatloaf infused all of us with profound emotion... This hurts a lot.
Beautifully said.
RIP LEGEND The album Bat out of hell, one of the finest records ever made!!!
And one of the biggest selling.
It's a beautiful song.
Forever in paradise R.I.P.
@Tessmage Tessera it's diamond now i think.
It's definitely one of the best albums ever! 10/2/2024. I've been listening since like 1977??? My kids grew up listening to Bat Out Of Hell!
At the grand old age of 63….this is still my best of the best album. Never get tired of blasting it out…..
RIP Meatloaf you were the ultimate Rock Star. Gave it every last breath you had . You will be missed
RIP Legend please get his channel trending. So sad may he sing and be in peace in heaven and I grew up listening to meatloaf from my parents. Great voice and great songs. Rip

Oops, 57, sorry, time flies but not that fast.
My mom rocked this album on 8-track in our family station Wagon for my whole childhood! So now I can sing like every old Meatloaf song! My friends think I'm crazy but meatloaf rocks! I'll always be a fan and think of my mom whenever I hear it! She's a BADASS too! 🎉😂😂😂😊🎉
Love it! I was a teen in the late 80's and these songs bring me rigjt back, belting it out with Meatloaf in the car
Should have. Saved the 8track. Worth money 💰.
Your mom had great taste 😅
Hey, Mom; What's for Dinner..
M E A T L O A F Rocky Horror reference 💀 🎶 💋 🖤
Yes! Me too. My folks and their card playing friends rocked this many a night in my youth. Keep it going!
RIP Meatloaf
This was one of his best songs
It truly is perfect.
Love the whole album.
Love ' two outta three aint bad' as well ! 👏🥇🇦🇺
Godspeed Jim Steinman. You mad genius. Thank you for the music.
Never fails. This song. Chills every time. Every single time. RIP Meat Loaf.
Definite chills with this song! Don’t know what it is?! When he really goes for it I get the chills!
Same here
Great Song!
Gives me goose bumps too
@@annettespencer8154 Appreciate his music more now than I did in 1977.
At 57 and in retrospection: Nostalgia and good music from the 70s does not get any stronger or better than this. I feel honored to have lived as this band's contemporary (yes, Meat, Jim Steinman, and all the ensemble). Thank the heavens for this album gracing my time on this planet 😎
Rest in Peace and may perpetual light shine upon you Meatloaf, such a classic song! Condolences to his family! Another legend gone!
I'm NOT a singer by any stretch, but when I'm alone in my car, I sing to Meat at the top of my lungs with the volume on full blast. When I'm done, there's no more need to take anxiety meds. Cancel the therapy session.
Listening to Meatloaf always make me feel like a rock star :)
I swear to God, there has never been a better Rock and roll album ever made!
agreed
Bruce Adams Brother
Amen..............brother
Got to be hell of a show in heaven tonight with The Bat himself landing there. RIP Meat Loaf, an artist and performer without compare.
Love it 😂 cheered me up after coming to terms with his passing 😢🙏🏽❤️
Oh so true. A bat out of hell, into the Heavens ✨ most certainly 💔 You will be missed, Meatloaf. Gone, never to be * forgotten * 💋
You took the words right out of my mouth. It's gotta be cuz I've been missing You 💋😘🎶🙏🏻💔⭐🌹🎤
Imagine kicking it in heaven then all of a sudden you hear this song! You look over and it's meatloaf singing with back up angels.
@@arapahosundancer that would be wild. Right. Another blast from the past You took the words right outta my mouth, Ohh🎤 It must've been when you were kissing me. Also Paradise by the dashboard light. Oh you gotta do what you can and let mother nature do the rest, well we were merely 17 and we were barely dressed. Love them and him. REST PEACEFULLY SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF OUR DEAR FATHER GOD 🙏🏻 IN HEAVEN ABOVE 💋💋💋💋✌️
Brilliant songwriting by Jim Steinman. Not only can Meatloaf sing but he understands the material. Like he and Jim were one. It takes a special combination of people to pull these off. Brilliant.
Meatloaf was BAD ASS... I couldn't wait to get home from school and listen to the whole vinyl album about 6 times... Forget about homework !!
Omg love it
haha same lol

@MUFC Congratulations on your Soccer... I wish you well. But, what does that have to do with my comment on the rock band "Meatloaf" ???
Me too 😂🥰😂
Now that's what I call a tune! Take note modern day musicians, music is suppose to be fun, joyous, uplifting and doesn't take itself too seriously. Thanks Meatloaf for the memories, rest in peace big guy 🙏
So damn good, so ahead of his time, the band killing it..RIP Meatloaf.
Just absolutely crushing. Everybody in this. Incredible
I just love this song
How was he ahead of his time ? This is sooo 80’s
@@davidstockman1456 the album came out in 1977.
Saying you can’t believe it 46 years old and that because great songs never truly age and what another great legend rip my friend you may be gone but won’t be forgotten and thanks for the memories you left behind
How this man made it to 74, I will never know. If you were lucky enough to see him live back in the late 70s and early 80s, by the ends of his concerts he had given so much of himself he looked like he would drop dead on the spot. He put on some of the greatest concerts I've ever, ever seen. Rest easy, Mr. Loaf.
Had to be hooked to oxygen tanks after most shows
1974 - 1970s 1980s
You are mentally lazy when you cannot manage to write the years correctly.
Do you not know how a calendar functions?
Besides the 70s was almost 1950 years ago
@@andrew_koala2974 what? :D
I was a baby in the 70's, but I saw him in 2012 and he still did the same thing. He was an amazing performer. There will never be another like him. 💔
Wife and I were blessed to see him in the 90’s. Out of the 6-7 bands that night he was by far the best. It was just like the videos. He will be missed. RIP
The first time I ever heard this song was when I was at a disco in the 70s. I’ve loved it and Meatloaf since that night. RIP Meatloaf.
RIP Jim steinman, you were a kickass songwriter and you wrote some of the most badass music ever! Edit: RIP meat, now your up there with jim writing killer music while riding out like a bat out of hell
You took the words right out of my mouth
Made life fun for me in my time in Mexico
did he write this song?
@@Shootskas yes
@@Shootskas Yes
Do you people realize how good we had it in America in those days , GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw Meat live in England in 94,96,99, Back when I was 16, 18 and 21. I miss those days, the amount of effort Meat puts into his live shows is incredible.
I was deaf and had ringing in my ears for about 3 days after every live event. I must have every album except for Meat Loaf and stoney, I need that.
Look at how hard bands worked back then to get famous or recoginised and now you see these manufactured shyte flooding the charts re-releasing old classics that they never wrote and they can't even play instruments.. Where did effort and the love for music go?
I was 12 when this LP came out... 55 now..... and it's still in my collection of favorite LPs.... RIP MEATLOAF !!!!
Same here sandy .. makes you feel old lol . First cassette I bought for my car when I passed my test . Driving about at all hours blasting the legend out 🙂
56 here. I remember it was all over the radio and my dad played it in the car. Miss those times.
I’m 56. Went through the album on record, cassette and I don’t know how many cd’s I’ve worn out of it, maybe 3 😊 RIP Meat. Now you’re reunited with Jim, and your parents ✝️
Same here I'm 56 I was at boarding school when it was released. We had it one cassette, by the end of the year we'd knackered about copies of it. It's still in my all time top 10 albums of all time. There's not one weak song on the whole album.
Same!
Meatloaf is the only rocker I know of that can wear suspenders and still look like a rocker.
I'm 62 now and can still sing along every word. Stone cold classic.
I agree with you!! Sexy 😗
Yes, So glad I'm not the only woman that always thought Meatloaf was very sexy, was probably sooooooo great at pleasing the ladies !!!!!!!!!!
@@bernadettemintmier9618 you got that right he is sexy and he probably didn't know how to please the ladies I went to see him in concert a few times he was awesome
I am 42... and I can also sing along every lyric... even if some songs were released before my time ^_^
Cue one big double-take from yours truly! But all's well... in England we call them 'braces'. Suspenders are rather different (look it up!)
My God. I'm listening to this masterpiece on a hot summer night as I have been for many years and my knees are still weak. Soooo good. Thank you so much, Meatloaf. Love you forever.
Excuse me...but what is youcso?
@@woody3590 A typo. I fixed it for you. Happy?
Edit: Are you here for the music, or to troll?
MECSO HIPPY@@jenniferwintz2514
Godspeed Meatloaf. What a fantastic voice this man had. Like no other. Love Bat out of Hell. This man did everything at 110 mph, he was all heart. 🥺
I actually think he was magnetic and very attractive back in the day.
@@sandradewar4000 absolutely, so sexy
He sang not only with his voice, but with his face. The Knight of the woeful countenance.🧡 but in a manly way.
This album has everything… so many memories from my school days in the 1980,s always makes me smile .. thanks for the great music meat loaf ..
A true legend will miss you man x
I haven't heard this in over 20 yrs and I still know every word! 💔
Awesome singer and energy, God bless him. I was 13 when this came out I’m 56 next month 😀😀❤️
it came out in 1976
You took the words right outta my mouth 😂
OMG I love this man-- my youth.... 1978 I am 16.... In love , this album blew me away! I am now 58 and start tearing. up about lost loves! But god gave me my AWESOME generation!🙂👍
Right there with you! Midwest high school class of 80! It is great to listen to the songs now, but there was nothing like listening to them in 78, 79 and 80!
I'm listening to this song now with 16 years, thanks to my parents
Felix Schätzl I’m 18 jamming out to meatloaf because of my dad. He graduated ‘80 too I believe.
Right beside you.
Angus, my man, think about all the good lays you had instead! Have a good night! Liam...
Meatloaf wasn’t just a band it was an experience!
Meatloaf and Jim Steinman were one of the most legendary duos in music history! To Bad they are both gone! The music will live on! RIP. MEAT AND Jim
Sheer brilliance. Rest in peace Jim, you've left us with one of the greatest albums of all time.
💜💜🌹💜💜
The Dashboard Light has dimmed 😭. RIP to a true legend. Thank you for the great music and all the memories Big Guy. Forever a rock n roll legend. What he gave this world with his music, voice, personality and passion will forever be a gift that will keep giving. I loved his music as a young boy, and as I was growing up realized his music was not just awesome and fun, but also a great stress reducer. I can not tell you how many times I’d play his music, throw back my head, close my eyes and just let his passionate voice run through my soul. It’s the best form of meditation i’ve ever experienced, and that’s the amazing gift Meatloaf left us all with. Thank you for being such a huge part of my childhood, as well as my adult life. My love, hugs, thoughts and prayers to his family, and friends, and thank you for sharing this incredible man and his gift with us all.
100 % pure God given talent
Ameyn!
R.I.P. Jim Steinman. There will never be another like you.
2022..just heard of this legends passing
...BRILLIANT nothing compares Xxxx
This whole album is a modern masterpiece. It will stand the test of time for another century and people will still be listening to it because this music was raw passion and talent, and people can instantly connect to it
I agree... But not the generation that gets offend over words. They hurt.
Dont forget Jim Steinman
Hes is AHHHMAZING!!!! Talented beyond words..
Meatloaf deserves to be in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame he had a style and grace of his own he carried his own he deserves to be there!
@@scienz ❤️
1977, it took that summer by STORM, will never forget it, "Bat Our of Hell" top 3 albums of all time! Not only because of its musical content but what it did to a nation, it captivated it, NEVER get's old !!!!
I've been listening to Meatloaf since I was 17 yrs old and I'm still listening and I'm just about to turn 59 yrs old! I think I'll keep listening...💝
A masterpiece! And what magnetic performers they all are in this! RIP Meat Loaf
2020 and this still doesn't get old. Classics never die! Long live Meat Loaf!
MrCalldean because music from that time shits over anything made in the last 2-3 years
Well....we just had it better. Any type of music was played and more freedom to try different things. Since what 2000. The new music has no where to go..hence all these shows that have new singers singing old songs ect. We win. Now im stopping my babbling and go reenjoy this somg cause this just drips hot summer nights.
meat loaf is the law
I just told someone that bat out of hell was the most fun album ever
Nov . 2020 Still here.
An iconic album. An instant classic. One unforgettable voice.
R.I.P. Meatloaf.
MeatLoaf will live forever through his amazing music... was a pleasure growing up with this talented singer and his incredible music..
Every kid I knew had The Bat Out Of Hell Album from MeatLoaf.... RIP
RIP to a legend. I used to sit with a little cassette listening to his songs over and over again as a child. My parents loved his music and I fell in love with it. Brings back great moments of singing it in the car with my mum who is no longer here also
I can SO, SO relate to you, sweetheart!!
Everything you've said...I can relate to, I can feel it and remember it! 😥 I think you're in the UK, yes? I LOVE it there, and lived there for a very brief time in the early 90's...Meatloaf takes me back to my childhood, in the 70's, and to a time that , although it, in reality was not that innocent, at least FELT innocent - unlike nowadays, when the US is boiling over with psychotic, conspiracy theory driven freaks who THINK they prefer Autocracy - and are itching to use their guns on the rest of us to try and make that happen - because they're so oblivious to the fact that they're being used and manipulated that they are, literally, BLIND to the fact that, should our democracy crumble, the Autocratic government that will follow will be just as horrific for them and as awful to their lives as it will be for those of us who are desperately terrified of it and who've spent their/our lives trying to vote, protest and do acts of activism against it!
OMG! I'M SO SORRY, SWEETHEART!!🙏
Please, excuse my tangent! It's just that my memories of listening to Meatloaf when my older Sis would babysit me in the mid 70's , while my parents would be out on a Saturday night, with the doors all open in our house, and the warm summer air so lovely....it was just so, so different than today.... Meatloaf ALWAYS takes me back to that! The song - HIS version (so much better than Celine Dion's version!) - "its all coming back to me now"n just turns on my faucet and makes me cry like crazy!
Anyway, sweetheart, I'm so sorry - even though we are strangers - for the loss of your mom - sorry, mum, and I wish you comfort. I also wish you Happiness, Joy, Love, Abundance and Safety and Good Health for you and all of your family and friends, throughout the New Year and beyond! 🙏
Enjoy your beautiful country, as well! I am so envious! My husband and I have decided that, if at all possible (i.e., if we will be accepted..), if/when our country and it's democracy collapses, or even if it doesn't, once our financial situation allows for us to do more than vacation there, that we'd like to move to the UK. We've both always loved other countries, (I've lived in a few, for short times), have mostly foriegn friends and both have multiple family members who are ex-pats, and live in various countries - from Eastern and Western Europe, to South and Southeast Asia, including, but not only, India and China and other East Asian Countries, to Latin America... including South America, i.e. Argentina, Mexico - and, to me, England always felt so "right"...like the place in which I should have been born, to begin with.
It would be nice, however, if we could, simply, CHOOSE to go to live there...as opposed to RUN there, because of a collapsing democracy and/or a civil war...🙏
Anyway, sorry, again, for the tangent! SMH!
Please, have a beautiful day! I hope its not raining too badly there! I know many of you don't like the rain...here, in Los Angeles, many of us ( myself, especially, as drought or no drought, I've ALWAYS loved rain ) are, at the very least, grateful to get it, since it can go so long (years, sometimes) without any rain !
Love, from across the pond, Michele ☺️
@Tim M I have the Bat Out Of Hell CD have the player, can not bring myself to listen to the whole thing tonight. Need pauses between the tears.
1 of the best , the talent this man has and his band mates , will live on forever . breaks my hart to hear he is gone . i dont think anyone has put the passion and energy in a show more then this man , rest easy
Meatloaf, the best of the best ! May he rest in perfect peace and his legacy live on for eternity ! ❤️❤️❤️
May Jim and Meat stay together and create any heavenly piece right up on the sky. 🙏❤️God bless them forever❤️🙏
This loss does really hurt. He did so many great songs... A lot of them weren't noticed. A great singer. A lot of posers might pretend to be rockers but they never caught the spirit of what rock really is. R.I.P. Meat Loaf at the side of a Gibson Les Paul. Thanks for that wonderful music!
These tunes were the soundtrack to my childhood. My brothers played this album and Bad Attitude as they got ready to out on a Saturday night...it hatched the Rockchick in me!
Can't believe he struggled to get a record deal, incredible singer and performer may God bless meat loaf
Thank God someone was wise enough to sign him.....
Imagine today. None of these people would have made it in this plastic surgery times. He just made us all feel ok.
Elvis struggled to get a record deal....its a mystery what it takes to get discovered!!!
Consist persistence and pure talent.......as well as luck i assume lets be thankful he made it cause i dont want to think about a world with out his music.....also thanks Jim as well
To me, meatloaf is the greatest of all time. I’m 29 but was lucky enough to see him in 2013, it may have been at the end of his career but I will forever cherish the fact I got to see him live. I will play this to my future children and grandchildren and meat loaf’s music will live forever ❤️
This is one of my favorite all time albums. Jim Steinmans writing and meat loafs voice and performance were just magic.
He is the best and always will be it has been written and it is done tony c
one of the greatest rock icon's of all time, such a theatrical genius, love MeatLoaf
I'm 21 years old and Meat Loaf is my favorite musician of all time. I listen to his music every day. I intend to show my kids and their kids all of his gorgeous music.
1977 in my bed with earplugs and a TAPE RECRDER under my pillow, at boarding school in a small town called Plumtree in Rhodesia.
I listened and sang along to this in heartbreak and bliss 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
What memories.
Thank you Lord for Meat Loaf.
This man was truly one of a kind. The world has loss a great talent. I'm in tears listening to this. RIP MEATLOAF
Meatloaf deserves to be in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame.
He is one of the very few who was uber famous and had fallen into near obscurity only to return a decade later Nd have a second completely separate round of complete iconic-ness. Not too many like that. Aerosmith is another. Amazing when you consider 99.999999% of us will never get a first round of fame. Lightning struck twice for this guy, for sure.
Actually Steinman should be
@@spuds6423 both should be
@@SGADRM Without Steinman, Meatloaf is talented but he would not of been famous... Meat's album without Steinman failed miserably... They patched things up later on and Meat sang a few songs from Jim's solo project, "Bad For Good".
His vocal power was amazing above and beyond most!
The greatest music ever in the history of man. A song from my generation. I remember that time when emotions were running high where anything was possible in life. We all wanted to celebrate life everyday and all listened to all these magnificent creations. 35 years later, I can reminisce of that time of my life that went by too fast. Hanging around with so many friends and joking laughing with all the comradery. It happened like the blink of an eye and now I sometimes ponder what all my friends are doing these days in their lives. I am certain that there will never be music of this greatness ever again.
Well I'm 15 and mostly I only listen to 80's and 70's because that is where the best music came from
i am 14 and i value this kinda music more than anything else
DestinysWarlord i love you
Mark Beasy What?
right on Kirk!!
R.i.p. meat love your music !
What a passionate talented artist. may he rest in peace.
My husband thinks I’m crazy to love Meatloaf. Which means when I listen to him I do it all full blast!
Is there another way to listen to the loaf?
That's the only way to listen to meatloaf full blast love love love 💜💜💜💜
I do the same to my husband. I love music and I like it Loud!!!!
Lol
Excellent.
8:00 pm jamming to the whole album. Must have had this album 100 times.. RIP MEATLOAF, you'll be missed but your music forever lives on...
currently 12:30 AM for me and i’m playing it all!
11:50 am, at bus station - once a legend always a legend 💯💯💯💯💯
Jamming!!! Greetings from McAllen Texas
Happy 😊 holidays to everyone!!
I'll be 80 in a couple of months, and I've been enjoying Meatloaf's Bat out of Hell album since it came out many, many years ago.
This man still sends shivers down my spine with the power and passion he projects into all his songs. Meatloaf you always will be the world's greatest 👌💞
Agreed.
Every Meat Loaf fan better be here tonight! RIP to a legend!
The man and Jim Steinman were musical genius, rocking it hard in heaven now.
This mother father had 1 helluva stage presence and voice to match. He wanted to sing opera. I bet he would have really popularized opera by 100 fold he was awesome. RIP Meat❤❤😓😥😥
