Meatloaf RIP

So sad

I grew up listening to him as my mum loved his songs, funny hearing my children listening to him now.

What a voice, what an incredible persona and not a bad actor either.

Not sure the music industry has space for talent like his anymore?

RIP
 
It takes a heart of stone not to love Bat Out of Hell and it's ridiculousness and I challenge anyone not to smile and have a tap away during the first two minutes of it, how many guitar licks can you throw in to a start of a song? My Dad had the album on repeat in the car when we were nippers, we had Heaven Can Wait at his funeral.

RIP.

Had the vinyl Bat Out Of Hell album as a teenager. Now got the re-vamped CD version and still love a listen to this day.
RIP big man
 
Saw him at Preston Guildhall back in the day. The thing I remembered for years is how tight musically he and the band were. Like listening to the record. And this during a period when a lot of hard rock bands could barely get through a set.

Google tells me it was 29th Jan 1985 so 37 years ago next week. Bloody hell.

That was probably the one i went to. He had a massive motorbike on stage. Was it the Bad Attitude tour?
 
Apparently a very likeable man I have to say I couldn't stand his music at all so I go against the grain, but RIP to him.

Apparently he had covid and also suffered chronic asthma.

It was one of those albums that people of a certain age will know every word of every song, and think they can belt it all out after a drink.

I can remember the motorbike, so probably yes. I have an image of the stage but I've been trying to remember something distinct and I can definitely recall him doing 'Paradise...' but I can't really remember 'Bat out of Hell' if I'm honest, which is a bit sad. I've probably still got the programme somewhere in a box in the loft.
 
I’ve got him in 2022 death doubles and trebles with Sydney Poitier and Joe Biden… hopefully it all cops but if not two out of three ain’t bad
 
Real shock this. 😕 🦇
Must have seen him half a dozen times when I was younger. One of, if not the best performer’s I’ve seen. Incredible stage presence and that voice. You knew you’d been entertained if you went to one of his gigs. Must admit I preferred the pre Bat II gigs with the slightly fatter Meat and bikers and rockers going mental in the (standing) audience. Was still good though as he got more commercial (and made his deserved money).
RIP big fella.
