Meat Loaf, 'Bat Out of Hell' rock superstar, dies at 74
NEW YORK -- Meat Loaf, the heavyweight rock superstar loved by millions for his “Bat Out of Hell” album and for such theatrical, dark-hearted anthems as “Paradise By the Dashboard Light,” “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad,” and “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That),” has died. He was 74.

Awwwww shit...that hurts.
ReplyDeleteIf he is cremated, they will put the Meat Loaf in the oven. His wife once said he was always tired when he came home from tours and she was tired of left over meat loaf.
ReplyDeleteWell damn. Bat Out of Hell was the anthem album for a generation and he seemed like a genuinely nice guy.
ReplyDeleteI am going to be in a foul mood for the rest of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, Paradise by the dashboard light, many of my misspent late teen weekends were spent enacting that song in my old Chevrolet Impala. Great times
ReplyDeleteRest in Peace Meatloaf

Yep! By the dashboard light fm baby rip
ReplyDeleteShould not have done "THAT"!!!!
ReplyDeleteNicely done.
DeleteVaxxed?
ReplyDeleteHe was 74. Would have been wise for him to have been.
DeleteYeah, if he actually WANTED to die.
DeleteI understand that he suffered from asthma his whole life.
DeleteMy housemates and I wore out the "Bat out the Bat Out of Hell" album back in the day. I now have it on CD. I'll have to give it a spin later today in honor. RIP

Went to a concert of his at Hershey PA. It was awesome.
ReplyDeleteHe seemed like a genuinely nice guy. First thing that popped into my mind, “jab to slab”?
ReplyDeleteThe NY Post reports he had Covid days before his death. Triple jabbed I reckon and the vax finished him off. RIP.
DeleteLegit talent and just plain fun! Paradise was the first of our three wedding songs (42+ years and still taking orders). Yesterday and I Was Only Joking were the others. RIP Meat Loaf.
ReplyDeleteGreat music. At least he left that behind. Thank you Meat Loaf

Rest and respawn. Make some more good music in the next life. I believe. Ohio Guy
ReplyDeleteTime to crank the stereo up to 11 and make the ears bleed.
ReplyDeleteRest in Peace, Mr. Loaf.
I was Medivac to Guam in early 69. Finally healed up and got liberty. I went to the one and only store I saw there. I mean like a Woolworths or along those lines. I saw an album with the name Meatloaf on it. First time I'd ever heard of them. Went back to Nam and never actually heard them until I returned to the world.
ReplyDeleteJust heard .. comic Louie Anderson won't be down for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteYea, I saw that tp.
DeleteRest in Peace Louie
Thanks for the laughs

ReplyDeleteMy wife is devastated!!! Me? Not so much... Total girlie music.
ReplyDeleteI already posted this on Phil's blog, but it's my comment, so here too:
ReplyDeleteMy favorite line from ML. He was on David Letterman, and Dave asked him “So, are you still experimenting with drugs?” He didn’t hesitate a second, just said “Oh hell no. I know exactly what they do.”
