RIP Meatloaf

[dunover]

Sadly the incomparable Meatloaf died to day aged 74. Some brilliant compositions and music especially when he teamed up with Jim Steinman, now both this amazing team have departed.

I shall be blasting out The album Bat out of Hell today in his honour. A part of my youth has gone.

indeed - also could be very funny. What a legend.

Yep - he was an incredible performer. I thought he was brilliant in Rocky Horror and his early SNL performances.

Another icon passes, and shocking as you'd expect.

I remember I'd Do Anything For Love absolutely dominating the U.K Charts for what must be ten weeks, and that video's operatic flair. And even that song was essentially at the tail-end of a glorious career, with him also partaking in many other ventures such as acting etc.

It's fair to say there'll never be another that compares, he was one of a kind. R.I.P

I grew up in the 60's & 70's..all my musical faves are slowly passing, sad..I'll give Bat a blast later.

RIP

Can't believe Bat Out Of Hell was released in 1977. Guess I am showing my age, as my Ex - part time DJ at the time - always played this at his gigs just after its release.

From that album, one of my favourite songs of all time is Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad.

As for 'I Won't Do That' - I could never understand the mystery surrounding the song. He states quite clearly what he wouldn't do, so I don't understand why it ever became such a 'thing'.

Got this recommended on youtube, couldnt find a proper video of it so i recommend doing a reverse bonanza and skip the visuals.
