Meatloaf
 

I was just ambling through the threads when I suddenly noticed I haven't seen anything on Meatloaf anywhere.

Your thoughts and opinions on the man and the band?

bat out of hell :)

I think his music is ridiculous.
I like it......kinda, but you have to admit it is stupid.
I think he makes way too big of a deal about it, his music is too, epic

It all sounds the same

Paradise would be alot better if it didn't have "do you love me, will you love me forever do you need me..."

that goes on too long. I've only heard that and "I would do anything thing for love, but I won't do that"

and maybe objects in the rearview mirror. I don't think he's the same but Jim Stienman is awesome (How bad did I screw his name?)

I like meatloaf. I think his music is a bit weird, but he is pretty cool.

Whats wrong with epics? :mad:

I must admit, i do like Meat Loaf, Bat In The Hell was a fantastic album, in my opinion.

Yeah not bad, I liked Queen better.

Aaah. I grew up on Meatloaf, my dad is pretty much obsessive.
I hadnt heard any for about three years until a couple months ago, my dad turfed out his old records and was playing bat outta hell on vinyl :)
Fun music, I wouldnt say it was much more than that to me.
I was gonna go see them play live once, but my dad wouldnt let me go. Assmunch.

same.

I'm not a fan however

same as well. i did like him in rocky horror, though.

My parents listen to Meatloaf.
He's ok.
Not a massive fan though.

Can`t stand him

But watching him shouting encouragement & telling him how to motivate his players to Hartlepool United manager Mike Newell on Soccer AM is one of the funniest things I have ever seen

:laughing: He does that? Almost motivated to watch Soccer now.

Bat Out of Hell is a masterpiece. Though I think its mostly due to Jim Steinman's genius. Meat Loaf has a great voice and amazing stage presence. "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)" is in my top ten coolest opening minute of a song ever.

Saw a VH1 special about the making of Bat Out Of Hell. Tod Rundgren produced this album.
The pairing of Steinman's songs with the delivery of Meat Loaf's incredible (almost operatic)
vocals was a perfect combo. Never had this album, but after watching what went into making this "epic" record, I think I will pick it up. Sold 30 some million copys (btw). Reminds me of Springsteen's "Born To Run" - has that Spector-like Wall Of Sound production.

Meatloaf was the very best part of "Fight Club", in my opinion. Never really got into his music, but his role as Robert Paulson was epic.

Meatloaf since the beginning has been lambasted by critics and so called Rock fans alike. His albums made with Jim Steinman remain true classics. Steinmans' crafting of a song paired with Meatloafs' strong delivery and passion produce some of the most memorable music of their era. I am a Meatloaf fan and not afraid to admit it.
