Better off.

The world he sung of is dead.

What type of music do you write in the age of tyranny.

I was never a big fan of Kid Rock but I yearn for the world he wrote his songs for.

 

[Salad_shooter]

Pretty sure I was conceived to Paradise by the dashboard light.

Sad deal
RIP Mr. Loaf

You know he lived in Wellesley, right?

So much talent… today we live in an era where pretty idiots who can’t write or sing or show any talent are “stars…”. And lecture us like low-IQ parrots about being good socialists and Gaia-huggers… Manufactured idiots designed to sell crap music to a herd.

This guy who was overweight, fugly and honestly looked like he had chiggers in his hair… was an amazing rock star. He wrote his stuff. He SANG it. He broke molds. He was a true rocker.

Even if his Bat Out of Hell Album was advertised in TV… in a very bizarre (and brilliant) commercial move that sold a ton of LP’s.

Yes, the world has changed. But we still have our music!

PS… for our Millenials… some Meatloaf!

Say his name...

The man could put on one heck of a fine performance.

 

[SBRSarge]

I like most all of the late Jim Steinman’s productions, but the songs / albums he wrote and produced for Meatloaf are tops.

There’s just something about Meatloaf’s theatrical delivery of Steinman’s over-the-top compositions that made them larger than life.

 

[EddieNFL]

No longer praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive. RIP.

 

[Rookie]

Man that's bad news. 74 years. Where has the time gone.

 

[Crewdog135]

"Sirens are screamin and fires are howling.." We are diminished. RIP Meat.

In 1997 I got a weeks detention for suggesting that the Prom theme be “Paradise by the Dashboard Lights” complete with the “lounge” area with old car back seats and the photo area with a dashboard.

Teacher told me the week before graduation over a year later that it hilarious and he loved it, and in a small town could not let it out that he thought it was awesome.
So I got detention.

In 1984, my roommate and his GF won a Lip Synch contest (remember them) at the local bar with this song. Helping them rehearse was a hoot.

That's how I still know every word!

He was well ahead of my time. I discovered his music when Bat Out of Hell II came out. Different era, better music.

 

[502Chevelle]

RIP Mr Meatloaf. Great songs and great memories. I still have a page of his music on my Spotify and listen regularly. God speed sir.

 

[hollowoutadime]

RIP. Lost another.

 

[Charger442]

His name was Robert Paulson.


he was a surprisingly good actor.

and basically he was a rock Opera singer. Seemed to never take himself too seriously, either. another good one is gone.

 

[HousePlant]

My mother loves this dude and is literally in shambles.

 

[BullGear]

A true artist. Something that has been lost in today's world.

Rage against the machine had a few good ideas back in the day. I believe one was “fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me”

 

[Mwalex]

RIP. Thinking of his music takes me back to the days for running around south GA in an old truck blaring a shitty stereo playing Bat out of Hell.

 

[mobenzowner]

RIP Meat. Had some great times while your songs played in the background.

 

[Jack's Dad]

In death, a member of Project Mayhem has a name.
His name is Robert Paulson.

[BadDogPSD]

Damn. Really enjoy his music. A very talented man!

 

[Soulezoo]

Eddie's dead. And this time not at the hands of Frankenfurter.

 

[Dunraven]

No longer praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive. RIP.

"So I can end my time with you". Classic!

 

[HPIguy]

RIP

 

[nikonNUT]

RIP Meat The first CD my Dad ever bought was “Bat out of Hell”. Pretty sure some of my tinnitus is due to Meatloaf!

 

[salks]

Had the Bat out of Hell album at one time. The song Bat out of Hell is still a favorite of mine. RIP. Sad news.

 

[Sean the Nailer]

RIP, and watch out for the Black Dog.

To think Steinman offered him "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Making Love out of nothing at all" for Bat Out of Hell...

 

[Jrb572]

To soon??

 

[TerryH]

Damn. Really enjoy his music. A very talented man!

Indeed, you took the words right out of my mouth.

 

[seanh]

It's not news to me, I thought he died like 5 years ago.

It has nothing to do with being in a small town, your teacher was a little bitch

 

[Ric O'shay]

On a positive note we will continue to hear his hit at every wedding you ever attend.

This. My older cousin took me to his show when I was a kid and his GF dumped him. I wasn't the biggest Meat fan at the time but I went. Came away with a different idea. Show was awesome, it was a play and a rock concert blended into one. Really one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

 

[UKDslayer]

Dead of Covid...no one told him about early treatment....

Which is ironic now that they are statist Brandon worshipers.

His name was Michael Lee Aday. Born Marvin Lee Aday

no doubt.

but the third rule of Fight Club is to watch the movie "Fight Club", starring Meatloaf.

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

He really put it all out and didn't give a fuck. An Awesome showman!

 

[acudaowner]

was and will always be huge fan of meat loaf in the late 70's . The down fall of getting old is not getting there it's the sudden stop my condolences for his families loss . Rip
