Meats daughter married Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian.
Wow that's an interesting bit of trivia I did not know that!!
Meats daughter married Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian.
I wasn’t a big fan but whenever I heard his song “I’d do anything for Love” (But I won’t do that) it always brought a smile to my face.
Great video too! He really had a presence.

His singing of the National Anthem was epic. It is on YouTube.
Mostly couldn't care less about pop culture people...but this one bums me out. Another tortured, brilliant person gone.
His music was an awesome blend of romance, insight & wit. The double entendres are fantastic.
Bummer.
After you posted that I listened to it, and I have to say it's one of the absolute best renditions I've ever heard.
likewise, I am now a fan of Meatloaf - that was fabulous!
The songwriting by the late great Jim Steinman who passed last year, sadly.
Someone compared the music to a blend of Bruce Springsteen and Andrew Lloyd Webber. I thought that was interesting.
My reaction to Meatloaf dying?
Let me sleep on it, I’ll give you an answer in the morning.
Heaven no longer has to wait. Bat out of Hell was one of the rare albums where every single song was exceptional. "For Crying Our Loud" is an epic eclipsing even Bohemian Rhapsody. RIP Meatloaf you were awesome.
He started his music career at a time where there were much more talented bands such as the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Deep Purple, ELP, Chicago, Steely Dan, ELO, Santana, The Doors, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Genesis, Yes, and dozens of others. The late 60's and 70's were one of the greatest periods for music but didn't rush out to buy any Meatloaf albums.
Meat Loaf sang the songs but Steinman was the one who wrote them.
He had a great voice but I wasn't into him or the music. I thought it was over produced and over the top.
