Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell: C/D?

That's ironic, cuz he has the word "meat" in his name.

But then...I looked closely at the lyrics one day, and figured out that the whole thing is the guy is sick of the girl and wants to end his time with her! It blew my mind. Well, okay, not really.

But anyway, "Bat Out of Hell" the song truly rocks.

its luncheon meat, so what.

I used to work in a pub that had "Bat out of hell" on the jukebox and I had to listen to it about six times EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY. And it made me want to kill him.
However, I thought the performance they showed on that Old Grey Whistle Test anniversary thingy a while back was very funny.

and springsteen's much better.

i love bruce.

bruce is great, meat loaf is a pisher.

that's hardly the point, but it is true.

Hrmm...I wonder if the first two posts of this thread will be my fate. Right now, I love this album. Redonkulously over the top.

imagine paying money to see this

You're probably better off with this:

the "let me sleep on it" segment has always been one of the most excruciating passages in rock history

otm. I like the album but that fucking segment makes the song feel 20 minutes long and sucks

Bat out of Hell was a formative album for me but I basically always skip "Paradise" entirely

It will grow weary in a few weeks and you will never listen to it again. but till then it RAWKS.

This turned out to be a largely accurate prediction.

According to Meat Loaf's autobiography, Davis commented that "actors don't make records" and challenged Steinman's writing abilities and knowledge of rock music:

Do you know how to write a song? Do you know anything about writing? If you're going to write for records, it goes like this: A, B, C, B, C, C. I don't know what you're doing. You're doing A, D, F, G, B, D, C. You don't know how to write a song.... Have you ever listened to pop music? Have you ever heard any rock-and-roll music.... You should go downstairs when you leave here...and buy some rock-and-roll records.[18]

Meat Loaf asserts "Jim, at the time, knew every record ever made. [He] is a walking rock encyclopedia." Although Steinman laughed off the insults, the singer screamed "Fuck you, Clive!" from the street up to his building.[19]
