Sorry to hear this. He was a true legend in rock and roll. Rocky Horror just won't be the same next time I see it. RIP Meat Loaf.
"But he won't do that." Remarkable sound. RIP Meat.Wow. Just yesterday I heard "Anything for love" and thought to myself that after all these years I still have no idea what "that" is.
"You took the words right out of my mouth."Guy had a larger than life sound and presence, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what he did. I've probably listened to "Bat Out of Hell" from start to finish at least 40 or 50 times. The album never gets old and, by my estimation, remains one of the greatest rock albums of the 20th century. Rest easy Meat. Respect.
I like how he broke his dry spell with Bat Out of Hell II, just because he felt like it, and "I'd do anything for Love" went number one.I love that he knew how corny and over-the-top his sound and shows were, and he just lived it - never apologized, just said ‘yeah, this is what I do, and I love it!’
Rock on forever, Meatloaf!
I like the full version of that song. It is, in my opinion, an uncredited Rock Opera.Meatloaf won a Grammy Award for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance in 1994. Some other winners in other years? Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan. For those who missed his big come-back in 1993, the song "I'll do Anything for Love" went to the top of the Charts all the way around the world including the USA and Canada.
