Don't give him all the credit, it was Jim who made the material, if Jim didn't write the songs then meat loaf would have had nothing.

[@sonofplato]

@@punkrock1989 true to a degree but not all of Meat's music was penned by Jim. The truth is they we're almost symbiotic in terms of producing the best if each other. Don't discredit Meat's incredible voice though, he did some fantastic stuff without Jim, equally Jim did some incredible work without Meat.

[@dianaraisa9420]

@@sonofplato agree with you. Diane Warren wrote I'd Lie To You And That's The Truth for his Welcome To The Neighborhood album, James Michael wrote Couldn't Have Said It Better, and both of the aforementioned composers produced mini-operas as good as Jim Steinman's. Unfortunately, there are quite a few scavengers to discredit Meat Loaf, both among common web users like Punk Rock and among journalists like Ms. Thea Jacobs, and they are doing it right now, because there is no one to sue them anymore. These cats want to write off all his creative merits, and the attitude to singing talent, alas, is too subjective: people who dislike his voice believe that there is no way to talk about any kind of talent here.

[@sonofplato]

@@dianaraisa9420 they can only attempt to discredit him though, the facts remain. I think we all know Meat did at times have issues with his voice, I attended gigs when his voice was absolutely on fire and a couple where he was not great (at all) but his overall contribution to the world of music cannot be diminished by a few poor souls trying to gain some twisted false kudos by trying to discredit him. He was a force of nature - and that's the truth.

[@dianaraisa9420]

@@sonofplato I know. I have audio recordings of his live albums where his voice sounds husky and not great, and live videos with the same sound. But right now these cats are digging up all the sorts of gross details from the difficult period of his life, and putting it on public display in order to discredit him and portray him as evil incarnate, while clearly writing off his creative heritage.

And whatever you do don't self-sabotage drink excessively or start using drugs or whatever that it is to numb your pain it won't lessen the fact what happened drugs and or excessive alcohol never solves any problems it may feel good for the moment because we've all done it somewhere something but it will not bring her back and it will not bring my dad back and it will not bring the man I loved back either.

I just love meat loaf so much

All his music has meaning such a great talent

[@NOLASea]

still tears...even years later ...thank you for the voice 😭❤️

[@mwallace2922]

Your not alone there.

[@garytreble2451]

And that is how you sing with passion. Amazing

[@jeffharding8626]

You can actually see the pain in his face, because he was actually in a lot of pain singing it. After "Bat" his voice was over used putting it mildly. You can hear it and see how much he struggles through this album but pulled it off. Hell of a talent.

Meat Loaf and Cold Play are my two favorite artists of all time!

[@Jer1967]

Coldplay?? Sorry...they aren't fit to stand in Meat's shadow!

[@Jer1967]

Coldplay just play a load of whiney crap, and he sounds like he sings through his nose!

1984, just passed my driving test, first car was a Ford escort mk1, the very first cassette that got played in that car was Bat out of hell, thank you from the bottom of my heart for those memories . RIP big man.

timeless, never boring to listen to his songs

[@adrianstruys5644]

The most underated Artiste on the planet......

[@OzzysRadioHalfHour]

The piano intro sounds like a lullaby. Steinman, Aday, Rundegren. Legendary.

[@zakhelembebe5907]

A hero has fallen, him and Steinman created unique sounds, transcending musical taste barriers all over the world. RIP big guy.

[@agenolmedina9159]
