Meatloaf is a legend, his theatrics, his vocals, his showmanship….all so beautifully mastered

[@Lamm139]

When you listen to Meat Loaf you have to know that he always plays a different character/a role in his songs. He said that there's only one record in his whole career where he was singing as himself, expressing his own feelings about himself and the world. That was the record "Hell in a handbasket" from 2011. Meat Loaf wasn't a songwriter. He was an actor and a singer. The one who wrote most of the songs for him is the man on the piano, the great Jim Steinman. Like others said: He surely wasn't a player. He was a true and loving family man. He was married two times (Leslie Aday 1979 - 2001 and Deborah Gillespie 2007 - 2022).

[@TenCapQuesada]

Thank you for actually calling him Meat Loaf instead of making it one word like so many others do. I just don't understand why they do that - all you have to do is look at the album covers to see how it's written. Sorry, but it's a pet peeve of mine. Pedantic, I know, but let's have some respect for the man!

[@Lamm139]

@@TenCapQuesada I don't think it's pedantic. As you said it's a matter of respect. He often emphasized in interviews that it's actually two words. I feel the same as you. Even some people who obviously know his music (due to their commentaries) write meatloaf or Meatloaf.

[@Rayray-kj9cc]

The man who wrote all of these songs is playing the piano next to him!! RIP Jim Steinman!

[@michellejoy6752]

Had his Bat Out of Hell album (back in the days of vinyl). It was incredible. My collection consisted of: Meatloaf, Bad Company, Styx, Queen, Foreigner, Journey. Beyond that I got into a lot of new wave Divo, Loverboy, etc. (more show than actual talent)

[@joedirt688]

I feel as if a part of my youth died with the passing of this wonderful entertainer and genuine human being. Marvin Lee Aday (Michael) AKA Meatloaf your musical performances will live on! Thanks for the decades of memories.

[@kellahella5286]

Love Meatloaf. It’s sometimes referred to as a Rock Opera. Meat excelled at it. RIP

[@robborra8071]

Im glad you appreciate the meat... he was so underrated and also got screwed o his biggest album and made no money on it due to his fine printed contract however he always poured his heart & emotion out on everything he did. And Jim Steinman's writings and piano were just brilliant

[@trishdaniel6196]

Deborah Gillespie is the late singer Meat Loaf's second wife, who is said to have been present when he passed away. The couple split their time between Los Angeles and Meat Loaf's home state of Texas. They married in 2007 and stayed together for 14 years until his death on January 20,2022

[@Jeffbambam]

Meatloaf was so underrated as a singer ,actor and performer, he was such a great guy and so we'll loved by those who have ever had an opportunity to be a part of his life's work.

[@michaelgibson6204]

This song is about the cycle of love where we all have one great love that takes our heart ❤️ so much that we can't love the next person as much as the first love

[@michaelgibson6204]

@@leodejongful He can't love her because he loved someone previously who got out of his bed and left him because she also loved someone previously

[@billshine401]

I'm pretty sure it's the same concert as Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Definitely the same performers. He paid a lot of attention to the "theatre".

[@Proud.American58]

Dude, you should do a reaction to the ENTIRE. Bat Out Of Hell album! Every song (all written by the late Jim Steinman, the guy on piano) is amazing. I love the ballad “For Crying Out Loud” and the upbeat “All Revved Up With No Place To Go”. #meatloaf #jimsteinman #karladevito #ellenfoley #toddrundgren #batoutofhell

[@kimberlyosborne1977]

These are all songs off the Bat Out Of Hell album. I love the whole album. I've bought it three times

[@A_nony_mous]

Every time I host a party and play it some b*st*rd steals it. I think I'm on about my 10th copy now and I no longer play it at parties!

[@stevejoshua9536]

You have to listen to the entire song, and only then will you understand that the so-called "player" was first "played" many years before. My interpretation has always been that none of the parties involved set out to hurt anyone. It's simply the spoils of sex, romance, & love.

[@Frostrazor]

nothing is fair in love and war. matters of the heart are complicated at best.

[@spikebeans9563]

Man playing the piano, wrote the songs, meat just sings the hell out of them bringing them alive.

[@darcylyons4313]

I love that Meat tells a story with his performances you almost see the things he is singing in your mind❤

[@alliebasta7482]

To be sure Meatloaf was apparently fighting many demons in his younger days as many of us who come from dysfunctional families, especially with relationships and commitment. Today I found a second hand book Meatloafs autobiography... To Hell and Back and I m looking forward to reading it. I bought the Bat out of Hell album back in the day and I was a big fan of his. There were so many rumors and stories in the media about his personal struggles it was hard to watch him perform at times. I found a duet of Meat Loaf and Luciano Pavarotti singing Torna Sorrento on KZbin yesterday... It was impressive to see him perform opera!

[@johnv61]

You were close! He said there only one girl I will ever live, so many years ago…..that girl left him telling him 2 outa 3 ain’t bad. She could never love him. Broke his heart, never got over her. Fast forward to the girl that does love him at the beginning of the song, but he can’t love her back cause he still loves the first girl. Whew!…lol

[@kennethsteele8808]

These songs were more than likely filmed at a concert where the artist would sing several of their songs thats the reason they were usually sweating and their clothing would be the same .

[@kathrynfenti6839]

Meatloaf could sing anything!

[@mikematusek4233]

This is the man that was burned in Gail Garrnett's We'll Sing In The Sunshine. He was burned by a woman who was burned by a man.

[@enminghee2926]

This is such a layered song: sweeping, sorrowful, melancholy, nuanced, but also having a deadpan sense of humor about itself. How do your articulate what it means to like someone and need someone but not feel romantic love for them? And isn't it silly to try to get romantic love out of someone who doesn't feel for you the same way? ("There ain't no coup de ville hiding at the bottom of a crackerjack box"). But that's just what a mysterious and powerful emotion love is, and the song really articulates the sad and silly things it can make us do.

[@ReneGilbertson]

I love everything he sings is solid gold 🥇

[@ameyer1970]

Definitely do the entire album. You won’t be disappointed.

[@chicochi3]

Here's something you guys might like "Time for Heroes" was the theme song for the 1987 Special Olympics games in Los Angeles. Lead vocal Meat Loaf. Lead guitar Brian May from Queen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqbHYaeCrMiZfZY And they both left their regular partners at home.

[@sherrynorth1293]

YES you need to listen to the whole album !!

[@sylviaconlee7407]

Meatloaf made his albums cohesive. That's why the songs seem to follow each other.

[@claudettesmith8328]

Love that is not felt by both people sucks& telling them or hearing it told to you equally sucks. I've been on each end of this issue& it hurts& you feel it in this song.

[@danpals7678]

I've lived most of his songs. Bat out of He'll was one of the first cassettes I ever bought. I was 17 and barely dressed.

[@timothymartin8498]

Not a player, the era we grew up in.

[@tylerlominack3838]

Also, Steinman created this sound and went on to write a ton of Celine Dion hits. I think the constant in his songs for both of them is multiple reprises. All coming back to me now and I would do anything for love are just reprise after reprise...and perfectly Steinman

[@TheMike_I]

I think the whole Bat Out Of Hell album was filmed as a concert video. check out All Revved Up With No Place To Go from the same album 👍

[@TheFilmsPodcast]

Looking at the other comments for this, I agree that "Objects in the Rear View Mirror..." or "For Crying Out Loud" need to be the next one you do. "Heaven Can Wait" is also pretty awesome, but it's up to you. I just discovered this channel and have been having fun binge watching your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@sheryltaylor7181]

A song to his fans is Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through. A song with meaning and his voice conveys that, it reaches you.

[@montist1]

I love Meat!

[@robdoe5433]

The song is about Meatloaf telling a girl (same girl) that rejected him all those years ago that he can no longer love her when she comes back to him years later looking for love. She broke his heart and he can't trust her to love her anymore.

[@KevOXO]

Yes, it is the album/story 'Bat out of hell'

[@Lana2006-o7i]

There were no music videos back then. So these were likely put together - some from a concert maybe? Not sure how “videos” were arranged prior to 81.

[@dropzone9639]

MeatLoaf was the real deal❤

[@joesmith5097]

I really hope you can react to the live version of...Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are! It's amazing and it will also give you the first true insight into Meatloaf live and his his music...many of his biggest songs are actually 10 to 12 mins buy chopped down for radio pr music video versions..yet still long songs for mainstream music!

[@joesmith5097]

This song live..lol since you asked later in this video!

[@jeffledbetter9467]

You should really check out "Objects in the rear view mirror are closer than they appear" and "Dead Ringer" with Cher

He was the one who created Rock Opera. NO PLAYER YOUR NOT LISTENING TO WORDS OF THE SONG. HE IS BEING HONEST WITH HER.

Streaming killed concept albums.

[@724riff]

You all gotta remember back then you had to put something together that was good enough to go to a record store and buy also , not just download from some phone or app because it's easy , even though the song or music is just so obtainable or the thing at the time or forced on you . You had to like something enough to go search it out back then

[@1909torino]

Make sure we give Jim Steinman credit!

[@valerieblack6445]

They didn’t have music videos back then. Really not until MTV

[@barrybritt2210]

rush 2112 storytime but it's a rabbit hole you may not be ready for!

[@fleshhelmet]

My theory... He's talking to the same girl. The woman he tells 2 out of 3 ain't bad, the same woman who said that to him. She'd been cold to him so long, then he turns the tables on her.

[@flubber1557]

The Real players dont need to try to act like they are players. They just do. Meatloaf acts this way for his performing his career he isnt trying to be a player. He just comes across that way because he is too good at it.

Hey could you possibly do Billy Joel. Mainly the Piano Man & his Scenes from an Italian restaurant.

Its the same concert

[@tomheinrichs7058]

Please , please, please start doing the research again. You totally and completely missed the fact that the girl he talks about from long ago. Is the woman in the first verse. “You’ve been cold to me so long. I’m crying icicles instead of tears”. As I requested last time. Please do “Hot Summer Nights”. I believe Jim 0:09 does the vocals in the very beginning.

[@edmonson3429]

Just a suggestion but you should probably put your Nike's away. In case anyone finds out where you live.

[@jeffreybergin4097]

You lost me pal.

[@ReasonableAssumption]

Meatloaf was not a player , he is singing about a lost love that never loved him back and it ruined all his future relationships.

[@ReasonableAssumption]

@@leodejongful There was only one girl that I ever loved and that was so very long ago is a separate girl. The intro "cold to me so long I'm crying icicles instead of tears" is not about the woman at the end of the song. There is an interview with Meatloaf where he speaks about this song and Love by the Dashboard light in particular.

[@richardhoward6564]

According to a Meatloaf Interview, it's the same Girl. This is the Girl that broke his heart Years earlier. He begged and pleaded with Her at that time not to leave. She was looking for something better at the time. You'll never find your gold or oil on the Beach or on a Street. When she realized that he was the one and she really did love him, she'd been Cold to him so long he's crying ice cicles instead of tears. When she wanted to love Him back after deciding he was the one, years later he's unable to love her back, only the Girl that he loved so many years ago. She broke his heart and he's unable to love Her back now.

[@davidgross990]

@@richardhoward6564 It's nice to have somebody bring out this point, this is what Jim Steinman was going for. I remember this coming out between high school and Navy boot camp, man we had great music in the '70's

[@MarcoNegrisEye]

It's pretty obvious. It's all "poured out". The best thing is him making you forget he didn't write this.

[@ReasonableAssumption]

@@MarcoNegrisEye Yes it is , he delivered the words written by someone else as a world class performance.

[@LillyMarz777]

Please, please do For Crying Out Loud, the original BOOH version. I cannot get a reactor to do it and it is magnificent. Jim Steinman was the songwriter. He was a genius and when he and Meat got together it was magic. His later vids are like movies I would do anything for Love, objects in the rear view mirror are outstanding. Videos were barely a thing early in his career. I have been a fan since BOOH dropped. He had 2 longstanding marriages. No, you got it wrong. He starts out telling the current girl he doesn't have any love to give her because the one girl he loved dumped him and said 2 out of 3 ain't bad, meaning it went full circle. Try I would do anything for Love with Patti russo live, the gala performance.

[@raybrown2197]

With the MSO in Melbourne.

[@dks6714]

I LOVE THAT SONG!! I hope he does it.

[@yankeesmegw]

It's a stunning song

[@afterhours21711]

I second the motion I'm doing for crying out loud. I fortunately stumbled onto the masterpiece around a year ago on this couples reaction channel first time for me hearing it and instantly loved it. I wouldn't call it his most underrated song because whenever you hear it you will rate it out the roof, but maybe his most underplayed or under heard song.

[@TheHillbilly79]

I agree, crying out loud is Meat at his best

[@chicochi3]

Just about my favorite song by Meat Loaf. Thanks to Jim Steinman. The ultimate "you did this to me and now I'm going to do the same to you" song.

[@christinaluest]

For every song Meat developed another character. In this one he definitely isn’t a player. His heart was broken long ago by a woman who wouldn’t love him back, and now he can’t love anyone else, because his heart is still with the other woman.

[@emitwilson8906]

Eh both sides are kinda true, he becomes a player because he got his heart broke

[@davidgross990]

Jim S. said when he wrote it that it was the same woman, and though he loved her 1st she was so cold to him then, that when she came around to love him he couldn't love her back, some of his songs have a interesting twist at the end very clever.

[@lehen1013]

Those videos were before the music video era, they were taken from a concert. That's why he looks that way. It's all consecutive songs on the same stage.

[@ctuckwell6562]

Thank you for another great reaction! It always cheers me up when I see you pop up with another Meat Loaf track. It's the next best thing we long-time-fans can get to hearing the songs "as if for the first time", again. I always figured that the music videos were all shot at the same location and time because they had very little money to spare in making them, and so hired a space for an afternoon or whatever, and cranked out four videos in that time. I could be wrong, and maybe someone knows better than I do. Music videos weren't really a thing back then, but Meat and Jim (that's Jim on piano) felt they needed the visual element to help sell their concept album. And yes, please do yourself a favour, set aside an hour, turn off the computer, the phone, any notifications and distractions, and listen to the whole album from start to finish. As for live performances, here are a few of my personal recommendations: 1973: "More Than You Deserve" (audio only) - the first Jim Steinman song that Meat ever sang live on stage. In a tiny little black box theatre in a workshop performance of a musical that Jim composed. When Meat sang this on opening night, he brought the whole show to a standstill. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnTOZqCoiZqleqM 1977: "Bat Out of Hell" at My Father's Place (audio only) - this was early in the first tour, so his voice was still fresh and pure. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4qni2d3bKehqJY 1978: Full concert in Frankfurt, Germany - nine months of touring, sometimes performing five or six times a week have left Meat's voice ragged, the lighting is poor and the sound mixing in the venue is way off. But he and the band still give it everything, and this is the only full video recording from that first tour (that we know of!). Incidentally, this show includes my favourite live version of Two Out of Three, even if he does sound rough. Jim's Bolero instrumental on piano accompanied by guitar then sliding into Bat for the opening is well worth a look! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3_Ofqd9fJyJY80 1982: Live at Wembley, London. After the first Bat tour, Meat lost his voice, so Jim did the follow up album himself (Bad For Good). Meat's voice eventually recovered to some extent, enough for him to do the Dead Ringer album and subsequent tour. At this stage, his voice is not what it used to be, but I had this concert on video and played it to death! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mImye4esf5Z_ptU 1984/85: This is a fan-compiled video from two performances to give an idea of what a full concert on the Bad Attitude tour would have looked like. Meat's voice had recovered by this point, and it's just a fun, energetic show! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2KofmCEeseVsLM 1988: Birmingham, UK (audio only) - by 1987-88, Meat's voice had reached a whole new level of unreal beauty. My personal highlights from this show are "Bad For Good" and "I'm Gonna Love Her for Both of Us". "Bat" is also awesome from this era! Check the video description for the song timestamps, as it's a near 3-hour show. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4SwgJWVhr-Jma8 1993: Live in Orlando - features "Anything For Love" , a fun version of "Paradise", and a heartbreaking rendition of "Objects in the Rearview Mirror" kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYPVhIurr9h9i6s Edit: oh, and how could I forget him singing the National Anthem?! ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/laerqIOjgNKqfpY Again, apologies for the long comment!

Great reaction! Meatloaf and Jim Steinman were outstanding when they worked together. Terrific story tellers. Jim Steinman also wrote music for Bonnie Tyler including "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" (yes, Air Supply recorded it first because they were desperate for a hit single).

For a live performance! I got you covered!!! For a real deep and profound song with a lot of emotion: "Objects in the Rear View Mirror" I challenge you to find a performance with more grit and passion than this one right here - he pours his soul into his performances. He was such a great storyteller. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnrQeqtno9yUiZo This is from the Orlando 1993 performance (right after the album and this song was released - it's the 10:29 long video. Dude.

No, it’s not a continuation. It’s simply a video from the same live show. ✌🏼😎

[@dannygjk]

Saying he can't love her is not necessarily the same as not wanting to commit.

[@firefighterchick]

These are not actual music videos. This is live footage of the same concert. There weren't any music videos yet. The only love he ever had told him what he told this woman, that she can't love him. He's not being a player the woman he's singing to. He was hurt by the first woman so he can't love the other one.

[@chicochi3]

Music videos were invented either in the late 60's by Mike Nesmith or in 1975 by Queen (No. It was Mike Nesmith.) Whichever story you choose to believe they both pre-date what you are seeing here which is a music video filmed on a soundstage about 1978. There were plenty of music videos at this time. You can easily tell this is a music video because there is no audience and it sounds exactly like what was recorded in the studio because that's what it is.

[@ReleaseTheQuackers]

Back in the 70s, there really wasn't such a thing as "music videos", but artists would make video reels that were shown on late night shows on TV. The budget for the album "Bat Out of Hell" was limited and the video reels weren't cheap. *JIM STEINMAN (ROCK GOD EXTRAORDINAIRE)* always believed that the songs would speak for themselves and didn't need a lot of flashy videos to sell the album. JIM was right!!!

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

These are from the Bat Out Of Hell album and a single concert performance . Meatloaf wasn't a player , this is just composer , lyricist Jim Steinman's masterpiece concept a!bum . This was footage from a live performance , and sadly due to Covid there will never be another .

Meatloaf wonderfully performs the brilliant musical compositions of Jim Steinman. the piano player you see in this video. So many great and totally unique lines by Steinman.

Yes, you need to listen to the whole album because if you don’t you’re missing out on some really amazing songs. Actually, you need to listen to all three BAT OUT OF HELL albums. They’re all fantastic and they showcase the genius of Jim Steinman and the incredible vocals of Meat Loaf.

[@chicochi3]

Notice there is no audience. These videos were all done on a soundstage and they are miming to the recordings from the album. I'm sure costuming was set up as a part of the show. And definitely Jim Steinman on piano.

In 70s there was a lot of fusion rock meatloaf was Oprah rock 🎉😮😮😮

[@glennallen239]

There was a clue at the beginning of the song that explained it. He is talking to the girl that hurt him originally. He said you have been cold to me so long I'm crying Icicles instead of Tears. She had told him I want You I need You, but I will never Love you. Now years later she loves him but because of what she told him those years ago He can't Love her now. Now the Girl is being told back the Words she had told him years ago.
