Jim and Meat are making amazing music together again. RIP and thank you for writing the soundtrack for my teenage years. Not sure that I could have made it through without your amazing collaborations.
I listened to the first in album Bat Out Of Hell in 1977. But I know what ya mean how you meant his music got many of us through our teenage years. His talent was timeless as the man was timeless. He will be missed but lives in our memories.
"Angels had guitars before they had wings" Michael Lee Aday -Meat Loaf -may your wings carry you through eternity Rest in Peace Meat Loaf, You made a lasting artistic impression on my youth. You were a showman, performer & an amazing human being.
Coulded say it better thank you for saying what i was thinking Chad ..hé wil be forever in our harts this mighty man and unforgettable rocker and entertainer from my young years and im now already 63 but still going hard..rest in eternal peace my meatlove all Michael...wil miss him forever.. Ruud from the Netherlands
Amen 🙏. He’s up there, somewhere beautiful and peaceful, alongside of Chester Bennington. Creating poetry and singing to us all. They’ll never leave us. They’re just waiting for us to get to their never ending encore.
I am going through a difficult situation, and I found these songs that I grew up with. Remembering my childhood and how happy I was, makes me appreciate what I have now and move on. Big MeatLoaf
I'm going thru alotta tough stuff, actually just one, and it has the potential to nearly destroy my life so naturally go to Meatloaf. You can lose yourself in music and that's a good thing.
Meat's voice had matured since Bat one, and it sounds so clear and powerful i am go greatful I can hear it on youtube. Now Meat will be enjoyed for generations to come as no one today can compare to Meat Loaf !
I am mourning today. Been a fan for 40 years have all his CDS, and I never had to skip that one tract that you didn’t like. To me that is the hallmark of any good album. Back then I dated a guy who played keyboards had Meatloaf kind of voice. We would do “Paradise by the Dashboard light” at parties. I can’t sing well, but, the female voice was more yelling and I could mange it. Even though “it was long ago and far away” I remember those times fondly. Being young listening to the songs on vinyl, only thinking of the weekend , the future after high schools seemed far away and we just wanted to have fun and listen to music.
My dad just introduced me to Meatloaf and oh my god I've been listening to this album on loop for days. Listening to this man's voice is like a rollercoaster for your ears!
This album was released when I was in middle school, and it had a deep impact on my young impressionable mind. As I look back on my life, I think that more than anything else rock 'n' roll taught me about love, and it spoke to the yearning in my heart to love and to be loved. It was bands like Aerosmith, Def Leppard, and maybe Meat Loaf more than any other artist, that showed me the mystery and the power of love. To me listening to I Would Do Anything For Love, taught me what real love looks and feels like, and more than anything else I had ever heard, it spoke to every dream I have ever had. Rock 'n' Roll songs are the modern fairy tale love stories, I never wanted a "prince charming" I wanted a Adam Ant, I wanted a Meat Loaf, I wanted a Steven Tyler...(except since I am a lesbian, make it a female version of those princes of Rock 'n' Roll), and damnit I do believe that "Rock and Roll Dreams Come True"! This is a perfect album, from the opening of the first track, to the closing note of the final track, this is an album that demands, that everything else in the world just stops, and full attention is given to the beautiful magical art, of this perfect album. Whether you have been listening since it was first released, or if you are just now hearing this album for the first time, just stop close you eyes and FEEL!!!! This is an album of pure love, heartbreak, youthful angst, passion, and a unwillingness to give up and give in, and a scream for something louder and better than this shit world that we are thrust into, it is a demand, and a declaration of a life lived to the fullest, and a hedonistic desire for "everything louder than everything else"!!! One of the greatest hard rock albums of all-time, and Jim Steinman's poignant lyrics, and writing, and Meat Loaf's powerful performance of that art, creating pure poetic beauty and power, a perfect painting of words and sounds that sings to life the heartbeat and passion of the lover's heart!
Deine Worte sind ach wie wahr. Du hast mich berührt damit. Bei mir war es auch diese Art von Musik die mich inspirierte und träumen liess. "Meat Loaf" war einer der grössten Musiker unserer Zeit und wird für immer unvergessen bleiben. Danke, thank you, muchas gracias, merci beaucoup.
Music really does reach deep inside and grab you. I hope you found what you were looking for. I'm lucky to have found what I wanted having been married almost 6 years when this album came out. We've been listening to Meatloaf ever since 1977 and still do now. RIP Meatloaf.
Beautifully said, I experienced a real joy reading this. BooH2 came out in my junior year. It was a really tough time in my life but songs like "Anything for love" and "Good Girls" would always lift my spirits and "Life is a Lemon" was basically the theme song to my own life for 30 years. We have lost a lot of people over the last 2 years, but this one has hit me the hardest. My three regrets in life are never getting the chance to see Meatloaf, Johnny Cash and Tom Petty play live. Rest in Peace brother, you earned it.
As descriptive and passionate vocalist and musician and orator there is no way in hell I could have summed that entire album up better than you have. Your words are truly poetic and captivate the spirit of the album. This was my first CD in 1993...No wait? Bat out of Hell 1 was my first CD. This was my first tape. I was 13 or 14 in 8th grade. I always used to fall asleep every night in bed to the end of this albulm right around Good Girls Go to Heaven Bad Go Everywhere.. Jim Steinman's piano used to have that effect on me. This is the first time I've revisited this albulm in 30 years. I took a nap earlier today in the midst of a painting project and I heard it in my dreams 😂. A lot of these songs choked me up then, and still do now. I resumed painting. Was listen to the albulm, and struggling to find the lyrics from memory that I knew stone cold in 1993. A flood of memories washed over me as well. I used to love doing karaoke to most of Meatloaf's songs. Especially duets with a female. I am also a huge Def Leppard fan as well. Have all their albums, documentaries. Live albums, alarm ring tone wake up..every morning. Comic books, Time Life magazines, etc. Did you know Jim Steinman produced Def Leppard Hysteria in 1985 with Def Leppard after Rick Allen's car crash and arm aputation. but they scrapped it. Then Mutt Lange came back in. I really miss Meat. I'm really sad he died last year. He really spoke to my soul. I enjoyed his unplugged sessions and co hosting Yankee games with Phil "Scooter" Rizutto when I was a teenager. He really was a great all around guy gone too soon. Loved his story telling. (Do you remember the Tales From The Crypt episode with Meat, Judd Nelson and Christopher Reeves?) I know exactly what you are talking about when the world stops and how there is something so intriguing and magical that demands your attention about this albulm and how the world just stops. I used to envision all the lyrics and music with my eyes closed in my mind when I was a teenager listening to this as if I was watching a rebellious mystery, fantasy movie. (I see scenes and colors when I close my eyes and hear music.) I'm 43 divorced. Have had about 8 to 10 relationships in the last 25 years. I listen to this albulm and it makes me want to believe again. Slowly...But not naively...😂 I realize it was a different time and I am a different person. But? Just like some of the songs. It takes me back to certain people and places and faces and times of my life. Check out some of Meat's performances from 1987 when he came back into live music. Truly stunning performances.
I was at his Bat II concert in Birmingham, England, three rows from the front, and he sang all this album. Still can't believe it. I've been a Meat Loaf fan ever since. Well, before, actually, but this cemented it. Nothing beats Meat!
So you are 16 and I'm an aging fangirl of 66. Proof, I think, of the universal appeal of Meat to all generations! If you are just starting out down this rabbit hole I envy you the journey - I grew up with all the greats of the 60s, 70s, and early 80s, which was when the music died for me. Remember, rock and roll dreams come through, always!
I was at that too!!! :D Must of sat quite near you! :) My first proper gig technically! The giant inflatable bat was amaaazing!!! Been a rocker and a rock singer ever since! :)
For a big guy, he had such amazing aerobic fitness. I remember that gig. He _owned_ the NEC that night. And communicated so well with the audience. "Four out of six ain't bad!"
I Beat my Meat EVERYDAY!!!!!! BUT SERIOUSLY..... Rocky Horror made me a fan. I used to listen to BOOH2 on my discman on trips with my grandparents (RIP) to Hot Springs (Salt Free store they had, the mall, and the North Mountain i now race in Spa Festival) singing at the top of my lungs.... they dealt with it. Pepaw and I would walk up the North Mountain and then up the stairs to the lookout (there was an elevator btw).
Meatloaf was my gateway into hard rock and metal, he was my first concert (and second I think) but like with most things I'd moved on and hadn't really listened to much of his stuff in years. Then about a month ago for no real reason I dropped Bat 1 on the turntable and I'd just forgotten how amazing and unique he was and I don't think a day has gone by since that I haven't listened to something from him. So sorry buddy, I lost there for a while, but it won't happen again. RIP
Just a week ago I did the same thing with the same album, just on impulse. Now, listening to its sequel. I enjoy how hard rocking but also how soulful this stuff is. Also its nostalgia for a time that never exactly existed (bleeding guitars and howling bikes and all that) is strangely enticing. Vale Meat Loaf (and Jim Steinman last year).
I never really realized how much I love his music... until he's gone. I'm seeing now and it's made me sad the last few days as I listen to old favorites and look for new favorites

this song came out my sixth grade year. it was unlike anything else on the radio, sung by somebody who didn’t fit the mold of a traditional rock star. We all loved the song, but knowing the absolute hell he went through to get to this song, this album, makes me appreciate it so much more! This is the sound of a man who has been desperate, and knows what the bottom feels like.
Thank you @Classic Rock for posting this album - I have it in cassette but that is not always convenient. R.I.P. to the Icon Meatloaf. We'll never forget your uniqueness and the impactful songs you've given us.
The original Bat out of Hell came out when I was 13 years old and my older sister played it . It totally blew me away at that age as it was the first rock opera (besides Tommy by the Who) in this type that I ever heard!!! My friends and I where compelled to listen to it from beginning till end . Loved it then and love it today!!!
I thank my older sister, too! The Bat out of Hell album came out when I was 9, the year our dad was killed. She had it and I'd play it over and over and read the lyrics with it. My oldest tried to argue with me about lyrics. I just laughed!😂
Never stop rocking Meat. Thinking of family and friends at this difficult time for you all. Meat you were pleasingly different a true all round performer. You and Jim are heavens gain - now there will be some fantastic performances up there. Peace never!! Never stop rocking - faster than any other boy had ever gone
i REMEMBER ... when this album came out right in the middle of the "Grunge era" and it was the comeback nobody expected and it exploded right out of the gates, with the biggest song of his career, I would do anything for love(but I won't do that)I immediately fell in love with this album, even going to see the tour that was his biggest as well ,but nothing he ever did was small, he was so larger than life!! sadly he couldn't beat the disease that took him, R.I.P. Meatloaf❤😢❤
I think this was the first Meatloaf album I listened to in full. It really helped me appreciate melodic/operatic rock and introduced me to the idea that saxophones are pretty cool.
Isn't technology amazing?!? Even tho he's gone his operatic voice is filling my ears, my heart, still! I will always love you Meatloaf, my old friend!!
Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf had such a great collaboration. I proposed to my then to be wife with ' crying out loud '. This music has touched me in so many ways for over 40 years ! R.I.P. You guys. And thank you for the music , and the memories they bring
One of the first cds I ever listened to. My father just purchased a Pioneer CD deck. And I remember this was the first cd he played. We as a family were a bit late to the party for cds. The year was 1993.
RIP and thanks Meat Loaf (and Jim!) This album is how I fell in love with rock n roll, and I never looked back. Still a total banger (along with the first one) all these years later. \,,/
Bat out of Hell I and II: Both great rock albums, that they were separated by 15 years of difficult times ... made this release probably the biggest comeback story in rock history.
Bat out of hell, Paridise by the dashboard light, I would do anything for love , 3 iconic anthems that are generational classics. I am sure that Jim Steinman is waiting in rock and roll heaven.RIP
"Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell" is one of the best CD's that #JimSteinman and #MeatLoaf have made... #MeatLoaf is, has been and will be a unique performer in the opera rock genre, a legend that leaves a invaluable legacy in music. #RIPMeatLoaf #RIPJimSteinman
I was 9 years old when this came out and it was the first album I claimed as my own listening to it again and again. Its now 29 years later and I'm listening to it for the first time in almost as many years. Its like I'm back in my bedroom as a child... music is a brilliant time machine.
I knew a woman Called Beryl who loved and breathed Meatloaf - went to as many concerts as she could and listened to him and talked about him all the time. Beryl rest in peace you crazy diamond ❤
1. I'D Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) 2. Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back 3. Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through 4. It Just Won't Quit 5.

I was 9 when Bat came out. That and his appearance in rocky horror were iconic for my drama club friends. I was 25 and working my way up the engineering ladder in New York recording studios when Bat II came out. I have fond memories setting up sp1200s and calibrating 24 track machines with MTV playing "I would do anything for love" in the background. RIP Meatloaf and on behalf of millions of fans thanks for the memories.
as a 13 ye old youth I was told by my youth leaders they listened to a band named MEATLOAF We added fun and laughter. then in 1993 bat out of hell 2 ce out I was 20 by then was falling in love deep for the first time and this was our soundtrack!! I then UNDERSTOOD MEATLOAF AND HIS POWER!!
Holding tears back missing you the greatest rock star ever your songs I can feel in my heart and soul feeling so alone now I cry cause days don't come easy and some days don't come at all I this song hits my soul so hard and allways will we will miss you meatloaf aday thank you for all your songs that make us feel may you sing in heaven as you have song on Earth and I would do anything for love but I won't do that
got so many memories growing up listening to this album, my mum got it for my dad for his birthday and I played it for a week in secret before he even got it! Meatloaf was always played on our family road trips from Darwin to Grafton every christmas and was one of the only albums everyone in the car would agree on. I grew up listening to him and even now at 38 when I've had to many rum cans, I play him and ring my dad at 2am in the morning drunk and tell him I love him and thank him for raising me listening to such great music
I was 17 when Bat I came out. I had a 2 yr old son by the time Bat II came out! Both awesome! I'd call my dad and talk about John Denver's Take Me Home Country Road!! Isn't that a hoot?!? Can't call him anymore, enjoy your precious dad darling!!
This is a great album from MEAT LOAF and one of my favourite albums of all time. But then again I have a lot of favourite albums and they are all great from Scully LFC.

🥰 been jamming for a few days now. RIP Marvin
I listened to the first in album Bat Out Of Hell in 1977. But I know what ya mean how you meant his music got many of us through our teenage years. His talent was timeless as the man was timeless. He will be missed but lives in our memories.
@@jeffshultz3883 I agree 👍
Never again will there be another. No interest in resting peace. Rest in Rock and Roll
Amen!
RIP Marvin Lee Aday, I hope Paradise is as you remember it from the dashboard light 😭💔
Listening to this after his death was announced,there’ll never be another voice like his,forever loved
"Angels had guitars before they had wings" Michael Lee Aday -Meat Loaf -may your wings carry you through eternity
Rest in Peace Meat Loaf, You made a lasting artistic impression on my youth. You were a showman, performer & an amazing human being.

RIP Jim Steinman, the world never fully appreciated your talent
Sad and true.
RIP God :(
Best selling album of all time and several chart toppers is probably good enough lol
Yes, we did. Musicians did.
Life is a lemon and he got his money back.
Meat's voice had matured since Bat one, and it sounds so clear and powerful i am go greatful I can hear it on youtube. Now Meat will be enjoyed for generations to come as no one today can compare to Meat Loaf !

My friends and I where compelled to listen to it from beginning till end . Loved it then and love it today!!!
I thank my older sister, too! The Bat out of Hell album came out when I was 9, the year our dad was killed. She had it and I'd play it over and over and read the lyrics with it. My oldest tried to argue with me about lyrics. I just laughed!😂
There will never be another singer like him !! loved how he put his all into his performance! rest in peace
Never stop rocking Meat. Thinking of family and friends at this difficult time for you all. Meat you were pleasingly different a true all round performer. You and Jim are heavens gain - now there will be some fantastic performances up there. Peace never!!
Never stop rocking - faster than any other boy had ever gone
i REMEMBER ... when this album came out right in the middle of the "Grunge era" and it was the comeback nobody expected and it exploded right out of the gates, with the biggest song of his career, I would do anything for love(but I won't do that)I immediately fell in love with this album, even going to see the tour that was his biggest as well ,but nothing he ever did was small, he was so larger than life!! sadly he couldn't beat the disease that took him, R.I.P. Meatloaf❤😢❤
😢🙈😢👍...🤘🕯🤘
I remember that. People were in to PearlJam, Nirvana and so on. I never really got those (although Soundgarden were okay).
RIP you will missed thoughts & prayers for your family
An absolute Classic
R.I.P Meat
I think this was the first Meatloaf album I listened to in full. It really helped me appreciate melodic/operatic rock and introduced me to the idea that saxophones are pretty cool.
Sad day, Meat Loaf is/was a legend :(
RIP Meatloaf. I miss you already. I will miss you until the end of time. Still my favorite show ever. Ive seen almost everybody.
What a rock legend Meatloaf was, what a great and powerful voice you had, thank you for the great music, RIP and god bless 🙏
Isn't technology amazing?!? Even tho he's gone his operatic voice is filling my ears, my heart, still! I will always love you Meatloaf, my old friend!!
Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf had such a great collaboration. I proposed to my then to be wife with ' crying out loud '.
This music has touched me in so many ways for over 40 years !
R.I.P. You guys. And thank you for the music , and the memories they bring
Это просто обалденный альбом,какая музыка,вокал,для меня он самый любимый ❤❤❤
Оказывается самый продаваемый в мире на 3 -м месте после триллера Майкла джексона и Ac/DC. А я думал песни из него мне только нравятся.)
Still awesome in 2020
One of the first cds I ever listened to. My father just purchased a Pioneer CD deck. And I remember this was the first cd he played. We as a family were a bit late to the party for cds. The year was 1993.
R. I. P Michael Lee Aday!
RIP and thanks Meat Loaf (and Jim!) This album is how I fell in love with rock n roll, and I never looked back. Still a total banger (along with the first one) all these years later. \,,/
Bat out of Hell I and II: Both great rock albums, that they were separated by 15 years of difficult times ... made this release probably the biggest comeback story in rock history.

I was 9 years old when this came out and it was the first album I claimed as my own listening to it again and again. Its now 29 years later and I'm listening to it for the first time in almost as many years. Its like I'm back in my bedroom as a child... music is a brilliant time machine.
I knew a woman Called Beryl who loved and breathed Meatloaf - went to as many concerts as she could and listened to him and talked about him all the time. Beryl rest in peace you crazy diamond ❤
Rest in Peace man....you rock always.
Rest in Peace Mr. Aday, thanks for the memories.

I was 9 when Bat came out. That and his appearance in rocky horror were iconic for my drama club friends.
I was 25 and working my way up the engineering ladder in New York recording studios when Bat II came out. I have fond memories setting up sp1200s and calibrating 24 track machines with MTV playing "I would do anything for love" in the background.
RIP Meatloaf and on behalf of millions of fans thanks for the memories.
The intro to this album is the best I have ever heard. Jim Steinman. Amazing.
as a 13 ye old youth I was told by my youth leaders they listened to a band named MEATLOAF We added fun and laughter. then in 1993 bat out of hell 2 ce out I was 20 by then was falling in love deep for the first time and this was our soundtrack!! I then UNDERSTOOD MEATLOAF AND HIS POWER!!

Rip Meatloaf Your Voice is Immortal 🤘
Amen
THAT VOICE IS FUCKING BRILLIANT.
R.I.P. Meat Loaf \m/
Some of his best work. RIP Marvin :(
got so many memories growing up listening to this album, my mum got it for my dad for his birthday and I played it for a week in secret before he even got it! Meatloaf was always played on our family road trips from Darwin to Grafton every christmas and was one of the only albums everyone in the car would agree on. I grew up listening to him and even now at 38 when I've had to many rum cans, I play him and ring my dad at 2am in the morning drunk and tell him I love him and thank him for raising me listening to such great music
I was 17 when Bat I came out. I had a 2 yr old son by the time Bat II came out! Both awesome! I'd call my dad and talk about John Denver's Take Me Home Country Road!! Isn't that a hoot?!? Can't call him anymore, enjoy your precious dad darling!!
R.I.P to an amazing person his music will live on.
