TheGeneral Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 ...and I'm curious what the general opinion is. I've read many internet posts stating his music is cheesy and people getting kind of weird looks when they admit that they like his stuff. But I really don't get it? I think his/Jim Steinman's songs are amazing and even albums where Steinman wasn't involved are good. Okay his 80's stuff is a bit cheesy and boring, but the 90's and 00's stuff was good. Even in 2010 he proved everybody he still had it when he released "Hang Cool Teddy Bear", of which I've only read good reviews. One review even stating it was his third best album behind Bat I & II. And I really like it too. Then between "Hang Cool Teddy Bear" (2010) and "Hell In A Handbasket" (2011) something happened, I'm curious what. His live voice was always a bit weak but in the studio he totally delivered. But in 2011 his voice suddenly started to fall apart. And for his last album he couldn't hit any notes at all. Kind of sad, I would consider him one of the greatest voices of the last 100 years. He had a voice like a big old american V8 motor. The american equivalent to Freddie Mercury. (Opera etc.) His live shows were something completely different, the drama he added, the acting, it's like a musical/theatre. I think they were really entertaining even though he wasn't vocally on point. My dad saw him in the early 90's and thought it was amazing. So I'm just curious, why do people think they need to be ashamed of admitting to liking Meat Loaf? What is your opinion on his music? What's your favorite song/album of his?

Gibson87 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Bat Out of Hell is still, to this day, one of the most badass rock albums I've ever heard. I've only listened to it twice in the last 5 years and it still stands out 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is ashamed to admit they like him its possibly related to this: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-W.A.R- Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 The only thing Meat Loaf was involved in that i like is a Master Of Horror episode called "Pelts" directed by Dario Argento. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfTheWave Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Bat 2 is one of my favorite albums. Life Is A Lemon and Objects In The Rearview Mirror are amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitha_whiskey Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 If you weren’t an American (North American really) teenager growing up in the early 80s, you probably don’t really get it. But Bat Out of Hell is a masterpiece and gets better as you get older... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

action Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 whenever I go to fleamarkets and I see these stands with used cd's, and I look in the rock section for some reason it's always filled with meat loaf / sepultura / faith no more and other shitbands in them. if I got a penny every time I saw that blasted bat out of hell image during my searches for great stuff, I'd be able to book the fucking stones for my birthday party.

luciusfunk Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I like him. The only full album I've heard is Bat Out of Hell III, but I have his two disc greatest hits from 1998 (I think) and I listen to it every few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that the lyrics at the beginning of the song says what he won't do, iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
