Meat Loaf Went To The Rocky Horror Picture Show And It Was A Trip | Letterman

[@joebaumgart1146]

This guy held me as a baby back in 92. He was doing a signing promoting his Bat Out of Hell 2.

[@YourBodyGodsChoice]

His name was Robert Paulson.

[@harmonyvegan]

7:11 is when they talk about The Rocky Horror Picture Show

[@benstahl3576]

What a down to earth dude, a real treasure. He sees right through the BS of the interview immediately

[@PrankZabba]

His autobiography is amazing.

[@noglenogle]

Which one ?

[@PrankZabba]

@@noglenogle Back Out Of Hell. I'm assuming there must be paperback copies out there. I've only seen it as a hardcover. The book is kinda short with its sorta mini chapters and lots of photos. Basically how he grew up. Got famous. Things happened. Got famous. Things happened again. Got famous. And kept at it. I dont own a copy at the moment, but I would totally read this again.

[@noglenogle]

Thank you so much for the info. I'm ordering it now. BTW I love your handle.

[@KimFsharpHarp]

I have to get it. Thanks for the tip!

[@mathiastheflyest1]

Hot Patooti bless my soul, I really love that rock n’ roll!

[@batgurrl]

Rest In Peace ❤️This seems like Dave when his show followed The Tonight Show with Jonny Carson. The Phil Rizzuto part was priceless. As a NYC Boomer I appreciated his Waverly comment.

[@michaelmcdermott209]

" You better be Meatloaf because we are gonna watch you!" Lmmfao 🤣🤪🤣

[@hallucinati]

Meatloaf passed the dave test. Dave was planning on ripping in as usual and making some fun. But Loaf was too damn cool 😎

[@pauld205]

Yeah, dave could be an ass sometimes. I always wondered if his drinking had anything to do with it. Anyway, dave was/is a big fan of rock music, so maybe that had something to do with the cordial tone of the interview

[@thefantasyreview8709]

Meatloaf was pretty famous at this stage, and possibly a bit unpredictable so I don't think Dave was going to make fun of him.

[@terrylandess6072]

Meatloaf resting his arm on Dave's desk is a sweet power move.

[@2puffs770]

That audience was full of old, or dead people, because when Dave mentioned his next guest released "Bat Out of Hell" there was ZERO excitement in the form of applause. That was surreal, imo.

[@mkv2718]

Do you not know how those shows work? They have “applause” signs for a reason. Dave’s monologue wasn’t done yet, if they cheered, he would have had to re-record the introduction.

[@gourdguru]

@@mkv2718 i mean you're both kind of right for different reasons. to your retort, yeah they have those signs, but there's always a handful of people who don't follow the sign strictly, and they have a sign that says "Applause" but not a sign that says to "Shut up". to address 2puffs' statement, yeah, the crowd *is* full of old/dead people, it's the letterman show in the mid-70's. the young metalhead crowd weren't exactly beating down the doors to get a seat, it was mostly middle-aged squares with a handful of younger more straightlaced types mixed in. his audiences weren't exactly crawling with hippies, metalheads and punks. Think about it in today's terms, are the young hip kids on the cutting edge of the various culture/music scenes waiting to tune in to watch "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" or "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon"? were grunge kids or rap kids in the 90s waiting anxiously for Jay Leno or Larry King to come on?

[@profile2047]

@@gourdguruI appreciate you taking the time to bring some sense to the comment. It’s exhausting to see comments where people don’t consider all the facets of a situation/period of time, and decide to just (seemingly) become upset.

[@SJUCityBoy]

​@gourdguru It was 1982, not the mid 70's. Bat Out Of Hell was released in 1977.

[@SJUCityBoy]

​@@profile2047Indeed...

[@THE-A-TRAIN]

They better post the interview with the man who invented the Nautilus machines, I feel as though I've been cheated.

[@ceser33]

Letterman is the European Rudi Carell ^_^ Thanks to Meatfloaf he shared all his wonderful thoughts and ideas with us! R.I.P. and we will do anything for love my friend!

[@coldwateronly]

But, I... won't... dooo that

[@ankhor9252]

Damn, what a loss. It sounds like ML was in touch with so much going on in his era. He knows how to relate and tell a story. He could have had a brilliant podcast. Did he have a podcast before he passed? Many people do now.

[@pauld.cullenjr.7934]

Great guest. There were 10 stories cut short there!

[@Iggythemovieman]

His mannerisms remind me of Chris Farley.

[@AstroVanTribe]

If you haven't yet, see the movie Roadie - Incredible....!

[@jukeboxjohnnie]

some people should live forever

[@ingsve]

Seems like the best way to prove that you are Meat Loaf would be to just start singing.

[@kiillabytez]

Meatloaf should host his own talk show.

[@healsyeah]

... i got some bad news for you

[@Struwwelpeter]

@@healsyeah lol

[@joebaumgart1146]

Well, he's dead so...

[@torontorox]

rock star! ✌🧡

[@guypainter]

I get the distinct impression the audience had NO CLUE who they were listening to.

[@petermgruhn]

In 1982, everybody knew who Meatloaf was.

[@pepelepewx]

celebrity palsy omg

[@YAMMAS]

at 0:20 what did the person say?

[@PacoOtis]

Boring interview, and we are Meatloaf/Rocky Horror fans!

[@petermgruhn]

word up

[@heldig5617]

2:20 They clap at everything! What about 2022? Basically the audiences are clapping-trained seals.

[@milesmacy8788]

That's Travis Redfish the greatest rodie who ever lived

[@kevinsteele246]

R.i.p. meatloaf

[@lumineria1]

I wonder if he had a cold, you can hear his wheezing breathing

[@evas9184]

He had asthma. He collapsed on stage when he was in Pittsburgh in 2011.

[@lumineria1]

I saw him at Wolf Trap in 2004. He fell off the stage then. Right during Paradise. It was surreal

[@joyceleneave2147]

Manliest legs EVER

[@thefantasyreview8709]

Meatloaf seems a bit all over the place, like he has ADHD

[@Binstone]

i think it's just cocaine

[@erohw]

He was Sucha bad host… still don’t get his success…
