Cause two out three ain’t bad. RIP Meatloaf

 

[BowlBrother85]

He never did tell us what he wouldn't do for love. Forever... it shall remain a mystery.

RIP, Big Fella.

R.I.P. to one of the greatest voices of my generation! I'll fight anybody who says otherwise!

Serendipitous that I'm smoking a meatloaf today

I remember when my brother bought Bat Out of Hell in the summer of 1977 (was home from UT for the summer) and we played it for the first time. We both thought it was unreal. The arrangements, his range, the lyrics. I continued to listen to it regularly to this day.

That's one I've always wanted to do and never got around to.

Is dying what he wouldn't do for love?

I'm smoking a bowl or 2, myself. So, I'm really intrigued. I love meatloaf, but never had it smoked. Sounds awesome, but I do have the munchies.

RIP Meatloaf. Man, I remember my uncles playing "Bat Out of Hell" for me, when I was like 7. I loved "Paradise by the Dashboard Light". Of course, I didn't realize what it was about until a decade later. Made me like it even more. Then he makes a out of nowhere comeback in the early 90s, with "I'd Do Anything for Love (But, I Won" t Do That") on "Bat Out of Hell II", which is great, also. Not a lot of artists have their 2 biggest selling albums, like 15 years between each other's release. Mad impressive, imo. Meatloaf did some pretty damn good acting in "Fight Club", also. He will be missed

Did he ever say what it was?

COVID

COVID

Yea but I doubt that was the sole cause of his death. He wasn’t exactly in the best shape or health. He collapsed on stage about years ago.

Yes.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Yes.

I found a quote earlier but I can't seem to find it now. I think its actually a lyric in the song.

No "Meatloaf Again" Rocky Horror Picture Show reference? For shame.

Fun fact - he sang half the songs on Nugent's Free for All (double platinum)

 

[walkenvol]

Could a guy as vocally talented as Meatloaf who looked like Meatloaf even get a record deal in today’s music industry? What passes for music these days is a far cry from the 70’s - 80’s

His work on Free for All was excellent. That's a really fine album.

 

[davethevol]

It is amazing as to just how humble the guy was. He seemed like a really good person.

His final investigation with the Ghost Hunters team was in Sulphur Springs, TN

You will be missed my friend!
