First Time Hearing Meat Loaf - Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad (Reaction!)

[@norsetech9416]

"Bat Out Of Hell" is one of the best albums in music history. Meat Loaf was a great singer, performer and actor. And a really nice guy. RIP Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman.

[@dlarp_6528]

My favorite meatloaf song. It's emotional but they always put in humor. You're the most positive reactor on KZbin!

[@scottNNJ]

“Bat Out of Hell” is one of those rare “perfect” albums where every track is a banger. The title track is extraordinary for its energy - but “For Crying Out Loud” is possibly one of the best love songs ever written and performed.

[@HelloClarice80]

"You've been cold to me so long, I'm crying icicles instead of tears..." Ooooh weeee that line always hits me. ❤❤

[@rhinno1969]

You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night) 👍

[@yevettebrinegar6699]

I agree! I really think Shon will love that one!

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Such a beautiful song, Meatloaf was so theatrical and brilliant….another Meatloaf classic u must check out is “I will do anything for love”

[@waynecox2440]

Jim Steinman as the song writer and Meatloaf as the singer and performer - great collaboration!

[@GrandpaOCE]

they caught lightning in a bottle

[@edmonguy]

The tone of that man's voice was just insane, powerful but vulnerable, emotive, technically perfect, and range-y. One of the three greatest male vocalists in the history of music.

[@IRHRRetired]

Agreed! 🔥

[@kevinwalsh9788]

" Took the Words Right out of my Mouth " is another great artistic, brilliant, comical and unexpected song.

[@kimcress1857]

There are NO better reactions out there…you’ve got that won hands down. I love your smile, your positive and uplifting energy each day!

[@robertg7396]

Next up for Meat Loaf should be "For crying out loud". It's a masterclass from beginning to end! It just might be your favorite by him afterward! 🤘😎

[@williamjones6031]

Jim Steinman (piano) wrote all of the songs on this album. Unfortunately, we lost both of them within a few of months of each other.😭😭😇😇 I still have this album on vinyl. "Yes, I know you're lookin' for a ruby in a mountain of rocks, but there ain't no Coupe deVille hiding at the bottom of a crackerjack box".

[@pattymckitrick7436]

❤❤I love to sing this at karaoke. Brings back memories from the best of times at the skating rink. Such a talented, sweet man. RIP❤

[@AmazingChinaToday]

Poignant lyrics. I wonder if two people ever find the 'right one' and truly love each other. It seems in 99% of cases one person loves another person more, and the other person 'settles' for the person who they think loves them --- but they really love someone else far away.

[@darkstardan3309]

Way to get it Shon. Such great lyrics and what emotion in this song. Cool reaction.

[@maryannturton9830]

I'm crying icicles instead of tears...😢😭💔❄🥶

[@kimcutts6153]

"Bat Out Of Hell" is a must listen to by Meatloaf. BTW, I love your reactions Shon. ❤

[@Paul-w9l5y]

WOW! This was my wedding dance song with wife number 1, Idk if you read these but you are really good at this! I spend a lot of time in the hospital and your reactions kinda take me away from what I'm dealing with, and I want you to know that I really appreciate you thank you! And you gotta buy a shirt 😅

[@suzypos4571]

Hes so dramatic and emotional when singing his music 🎶..it draws you in to what he is saying ❤..favorites.

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

One of my favorite songs period. Not just my favorite Meat Loaf song. Heartbreaking and beautiful.

[@kurttuchscherer7706]

Jim Steinman is the song writer. An absolute genius. He also wrote Total Eclipse of the Heart. He one of only 2 people to have both the #1 and #2 songs at the same time. Meatloaf was the perfect artist to perform his songs.

[@jai07070]

Great reactions and observations, as usual! Your next Meatloaf reaction should be, "I would do anything for love- but I won't do that ". Very theatrical!

[@kanditraxel]

Absolutely! I vote for that, too!

[@jonwilley9548]

Shon. I just wanted to say that I grew up listening to MANY of the songs that you react to. I’ve heard most of these for years, but unfortunately never really listened to them until I came across your channel. Thank you for opening my ears. I appreciate you and your reactions!

[@leahdoerr731]

Meatloaf is SO under-rated...you're awesome keep it up 😊 you're my favorite reactor

[@robintarr7618]

So glad to see you enjoy the music of my youth. Meatloaf was always underappreciated I think. Love your reaction.

[@TheGreatGig73]

His passion while singing is amazing!

[@beth3541]

I love this guy. Jim Steinman and himself wrote brilliant songs and class lyrics. Meatloaf is so theatrical. He was brilliant in concert. I got to see him a few times, the first time I was on the 4th row and could see him so clearly, as soon as he walked on stage I burst into tears lol I was in love with this guy. Great to see you back Shon, my favourite reactor ❤

[@maryannturton9830]

For Crying Out Loud,and You Took the Words Right Out Of My Mouth❣🎙🎶

[@pattymckitrick7436]

The tables turned, and he was made to feel, what he had made someone else feel. Hits hard.

[@leahdoerr731]

No auto-tune people!!!

[@KrazyKatLadyx2]

Meatloaf was a true original!

[@meganstarling390]

Masterpiece indeed!!❤

[@blitz3643]

I love how you dive into and get the lyrics. Even though this song is a pretty obvious one you'd be surprised how many reactors are clueless.

[@robbob5302]

That’s a cool thing about Shon. (Now if he’d just put on a shirt!)

[@richardhoward6564]

What makes you believe he's wearing pants? ​@@robbob5302

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

Very beautiful song his voice is unique.

[@gregprice-f7p]

My favourite Meatloaf. Love the energy and the hair. Bat out of Hell is the shit.

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

His voice is so smooth. ✌❤

[@wgb_jd]

Shon, I really believe you are one of the top tier music reactors on KZbin, and I've seen a lot of them.

[@IRHRRetired]

Enjoy your thoughtful comments. ML and Steinman are simply incomparable.

[@IRHRRetired]

Check out Bat Out of Hell (official video). A hell of a performance, and the last few notes will blow you away.

[@jennybird6268]

This song is excellent! My favorite Meatloaf song is For Crying Out Loud. Not many reactors react to it. I would love to see you listen to it.

[@richardhansen3703]

You should listen to his song "for crying out loud." If that isn't his greatest masterpiece, it would have to be the closest

[@kimberlyosborne1977]

You freaky need to check out. You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth. Another great song by Meatloaf

[@adrianbecker6853]

Excellent music and song appreciation!!! 😇

[@carla68]

I was 8 years old when this came out and i didn't know much about relationships but i felt the emotions and the beauty of it. Amazing song and amazing artists.

[@karenwalsh1143]

I tore the record up playing it in my bedroom when I was 14 ❤ my first album I got for Christmas!! Those were the years!!!!!!

[@marieantoinette1360]

So here for this, my fav Meatloaf song, subscribed from Australia.

[@VincentManiscalco]

I don’t think meatloaf gets enough credit for his incredible voice ! I don’t know about anyone else, but my take on this song is he’s talking about the same girl in the beginning as he is in the end of the song ! I think it’s a dead giveaway when he says you’ve been cold to me so long I’m crying icicles instead of tears … and when he says, there was only one girl that I will ever love, he’s talking about who she was before

[@williamee12]

Meatloaf should be in the rock and roll hall of fame love your reactions

[@IRHRRetired]

Honestly they don’t deserve him.

[@sandilar]

Lets go! Love meatloaf!

[@JasonMistretta-wf5ip]

RIP, Legend!!

[@CozzyKorner]

💖🙏🏻 I love your reactions!

[@pattymckitrick7436]

The truth hurts, but sometimes we don't understand the depth of pain until we are faced with it ourselves.

[@freddiejamscat]

seriously, if you aren't just the cutest thing ever gettin' into jams twice your age!! I LOVE it so much!!

[@AutumnBlossom-c9i]

Mr. Shon, you popped up when I was scrolling, What a gem I have found in. Your reactions are a delite. So excited to check out your reactions I have missed, and look forward to your reactions on the horizons. 😊

[@stevebeauchamp3677]

HE'S AN ICON!!

[@aircap]

Bro this whole album is straight fire. The whole thing was written by Jim Steinman, famous for over-the-top dramatic tunes, and produced by the legendary Todd Rundgren. You need to hear the title track BAT OUT OF HELL, man. Do it!

[@nolansteiner4771]

yeah, this is the first song that i heard by meatloaf. has always been awesome (and I love his other songs too). thx for the RX Shon!

[@vickithomas7976]

The cycle of broken hearts 💔

[@willblood7082]

Gotta give props to Jim Steinman, the pianist and lyricist of Meatloaf’s songs. Did you catch that the first part of this song he’s breaking up with a girl and telling her two out of three ain’t bad and at the end of the song he’s telling us about a girl he loved a long time ago and that she said the exact same thing to him when breaking up with him.

[@rabmcaleer8903]

You took the words right out my mouth is a great tune.Cher sings with him on the video.

[@BaritoneRocks]

My favorite Meatloaf song is Heaven Can Wait. Two out of Three is my second favorite.

[@Mary-xo7ue]

This has always been my favorite ❤❤enjoy.😂

[@michellemiller5620]

How can you not love Meatloaf h was euch a story teller. Check out his performance in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

[@davidpeters3857]

All time classic young brother….great reaction

[@Laura_Martin42]

Great reaction, great song. I wore out cassette tapes of this album during my divorce, every song just seemed spot on, this one as well as Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Meatloaf was a master of his craft.

[@dianesaienni5466]

love this song his voice is easy to sing along with.

[@lesblatnyak5947]

A party favourite that we all sang along with slow dancing. 🙏🎶 Time for some YES and a song called And You And I.

[@EpicFrozenMoment]

I used to think this was the saddest song ever. But my POV has changed over the years. In addition to the obv heartbreak, I also think there's something in this song that is about the old expression: "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good". Or if you're a 60's or 70s kid, then a version of "Love the one you're with...". Maybe it's just that the older I get, the more realistic (and lower maybe?) my expectations for relationships are.

[@davidgagnon3781]

See the guy playing piano? That's Jim Steinman. HE wrote this song (and every other song on the album).

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

This IS a sad song,yes.I love it so much.great reaction

[@dkirk9305]

D*** young man, you figured this song out fast. She broke his heart years ago. They're either back together or still together. Wisdom beyond your age.

[@markdeslauriers6549]

The album 'Bat out of Hell' is amazing. Meatloaf's performance of the song 'Bat out of Hell' is a masterpiece that you should check out.

[@AnthonyL0401]

This is such a clever song. Yet very down to earth as opposed to some poetic love song... very earthy and gritty. And the way it turns around and he ALSO had been told she would never love him... how the chain of unrequited love goes on and on sometimes...

[@destinyreelly2974]

I’ve owned the album, the cassette, the cd and the album is on my Spotify. You have to do ‘For crying out loud’. ❤

[@ValerieBoyco]

The song Bat out of hell is a banger!

[@rondickinson8741]

Just made this 59 year old man shed a tear damn it

[@Gira21Gramos]

You do a really good job breaking down what makes this so great.

[@travisdrury5556]

Love this song

[@tinatangent9268]

New follower here...Just came to see if you did this song and you JUST did....Thanks for vibin' it~ Can't wait to see what you think!!

[@MamaDuffy]

I Would Do Anything For Love But I Won't Do That. Another banger.

[@SassyIndian]

My favorite Meatloaf's songs: Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are Bat out of hell Life is a Lemon and I Want My Money Back For Crying Out Loud

[@Spiderific]

I love the background voices too.

[@mrichards2211]

My favorite ML song. ❤️🔥

[@matteoedwardes2876]

My fav of the two also!

[@RockinMamaT]

This was one of the first albums i owned . i got it when i was 10 years old it had the album cover on the dicc. I loved it❤

[@quietstorm1383]

Definitely check out “I would do anything for love” such a great classic!

[@davidellis7786]

In my opinion this is greatest song written

[@HarveyRice-jr2vl]

you are my fav pod caster by far

[@sharonmyrie-cb7dd]

I'm new to your channel and have to say very impressive how you really understand the songs and can appreciate the talent it's so refreshing and I believe you can appreciate this artist Sinead O'Connor singing Nothing compares to you

[@TheColdrush22]

This is one of the best reactions I have ever seen. 7:08 "hurting my heart a little bit" means you are listening. It's the best and I can tell it's not fake (as so many reactors are). Please continue to be "not fake" and I will continue to tell you that I hate watching shirtless dudes. LOL.

[@debbicook1584]

The WHOLE Bat out of Hell album is SPECTACULAR, there is not a wrong song on it! The man sitting at the piano behind him is Jim Steinmann who actually wrote this and ALL of Bat out of Hell!

[@TheCashcrue]

You gotta check out Bat Out Of Hell the long version, and You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth. Actually the whole album is amazing.

[@rondickinson8741]

Meatloaf man I miss you meatloaf come back

[@gillian5005]

Loved this! May I suggest another '70's song : Escape (The Pina Colada song) - Rupert Holmes. I know you listen carefully to lyrics - that's all I'll say, Lol 😄

[@clemson1889]

You should hear him sing the Star Spangled Banner. He truly has a beautiful voice.

[@IRHRRetired]

Just a piano and MLs voice. Nothing more needed for sheer perfection.

[@empyrealone]

As tou may have seen others say, Jim Steinman is the song writer. Jim Steinman is a great rabbit hole to go down.

[@richardhoward6564]

Hi Shon, According to a Meatloaf Interview, he was singing to and about the same Girl. They were together Years earlier. She wanted more than Him. At that time he told her she'll never find her Gold or oil on a Beach or a Street, or a Ruby in a Mountain of Rocks. She came back to Him Years later when she decided that he was the one for Her. He couldn't love Her like he did before, Only the Girl that didn't Break his Heart ❤️ years earlier.

[@cindysimpson1046]

I appreciate this reaction from you so much! You get it. This song had major impact on my life back in the day. Unfortunately I married that man and he let me go after 30 years of cheating and then moving in with one of them.

[@robborra8071]

So man y true Meatloaf fans know a phenominal song off Bat Out of Hell... the last one.. For Cryin Out Loud... the lyrics, music and emotion will eat you up... you must listen to it...

[@kathrynkissane5144]

He was singing it to the same woman who left him and get out of his bed. Now she is back, and he throws HER words back in HER face!!!!! People miss that truth.

[@tinatangent9268]

Shon, I respectfully request that you PLEASE react to Cool Change by Little River Band.... I believe you can appreciate it...🐬⛵

[@shellythecab7417]

Yes!!!
