Such a unique and talented artist. He seemed to come out of nowhere exploded then would disappear and return years later and repeat. Imo one of the most talented performers ever both as a singer and actor. I'm surprised "You Took The Words Right Of My Mouth" or "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" didn't come in 2nd? Diane would definitely like both songs being what I refer to as theatrical songs.

[@ravenstromdans]

Jim Steinman, the songwright who wrote the song and, unless I'm mistaken, the pianist on the song as well, had a gift for crafting musical stories of really kind of dysfunctional love. Meatloaf had a gift for giving those songs *life* in a way other artists rarely managed, though a handful of his song became famous from other artists - "Holding Out for a Hero" and "Total Eclipse of the Heartt" by Bonnie Tyler, "Making Love (Out of Nothing At All)" by Air Supply and even "It's All Coming Back" by Celine Dion. But Jimmy and Meatloaf were a thunderously strong duo and their unique energy in the music industry is very much missed. Hail the Travelers. Hail the Tale Spinner, Hail the Story Teller. Good Journey, gentlemen.

[@keymack2477]

Jim played piano in that video but I believe it was actually played by Roy Bittan who did most of the piano on the Bat out of Hell album.

[@oliverrimbaud4556]

Steinman is incredibly underrated! The piano player is supposed to be Roy Bittan, Springsteen’s pianist. He is also amazing, having played in most of steinman’s songs and with dire straits’ third album, Bella Donna by Stevie nicks and a lot more while being in the E street band since Born to Run. I personally like to believe that in terms of integrating technique and style into rock piano, he made as much of an impact to rock music as Billy Joel or Elton John!

The reason they sound like stories the songwriter/keyboardist Jim Steinman wrote this album as a play/musical for the theater group Meatloaf aka Marven Lee Aday was in. FYI Jim wrote Total Eclipse of the Heart (Bonnie Tyler) for a play about Vampires in love. Way before Twilight.

[@DianeJennings]

[@UKJesterVids]

@@DianeJenningsThe writer, Jim Steinman, was influenced by a lot of opera, and wanted to combine rock music with operatic lyrics and performance. This resulted in a lot of songs and albums with deep stories (and an average song length of about 6 minutes)

[@farfromperfek]

@@DianeJennings Jim Steinman who wrote all of Meatloaf's hits was a theater geek. He wrote the songs that became Meatloaf's first album "Bat Out of hell" to be a Broadway Musical. Meatloaf was an actor before he was a rock star. He was in the Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) two years before his first album (1977) and was an extra in the movie State Fair (1962). He even stated before he died during an interview in the Irish Examiner "I’ve never thought of myself as a singer. I think of myself as an actor" "Before I can sing the song, I’ve got to find the character. I don’t just walk in and sing a song".

As a person with a hearing impairment I can't stress enough how much I appreciate Meat Loaf. Not only does he have a beautiful singing voice but the way he is able to enunciate every word, even when singing fast, makes it so easy to pick up the lyrics on first listening. It usually takes me a few runs through the song and sometimes I need to read the lyrics. That could be why I appreciate songs as a whole before I ever get into what they are trying to say.

The first verse is him telling a girl he will never love her. But he wants her and needs her and he has found out that those too aren’t bad by them selves and she will learn it too.

Meatloaf's was sort of my jam since I first heard him do Bat Out Of Hell. His music always told some sort of story in a very theatrical way. I saw him live three times with gaps of ten or more years between shows He didn't tour the Canadian Prairies that often. He was also a pretty good actor in more than one film and TV roles. The last time I saw him live was June 17th 2016 in Edmonton, Alberta he was doing his show which was always pretty theatrical. He had cancelled a couple of shows just before this due to health concerns, and there were questions about whether this show would happen. It did, but he didn't look in the best of shape. He was singing "I'd do anything for love" in his usual dramatic manner when he slowly collapsed on stage while singing. At first it was hard to tell if it was part of the performance or if something had happened, as the band kept playing for a bit before band members and crew rushed to his aid. The show immediately ended, and he was taken to hospital overnight. Suffering from a severe case of dehydration. Made the show even more memorable. So, I enjoyed you reaction to this tune.

Love this song! Meatloaf was given his name the day he was born by his father! A big baby wrapped in a blanket! 😂 Meatloaf was also the Eddie character in the pop cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show! 🏍💨

Oh my stars! He was so young then! Now I feel ancient!

Rest in Peace Meat. I recall you mentioned you like light shows, the song Sorrow from Pink Floyd Pulse concert is greatness.

His real name is Michael Lee Aday but he was a big kid and got the nickname meatloaf as a kid and kinda stuck with it. A true performer, operatic voice. Nothing really compares today. This song was from 1977 his first year, the guy on piano with black hair was jim steinman who wrote the lyrics and did the musical arrangements.

Just wondering if you have ever seen the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show? Meatloaf has a small but great part that you may also enjoy the craziness of the movie. Although the best way to see RHPS is in a theater with audience participation. Love seeing you find new musical interests, facts and your reactions to things that I have taken for granted for many years.
