alfierose Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Oh that's sad. He was a bit of an icon. RIP Meatloaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeneral Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Fuck, this sucks. If you've seen him in the last months, you knew he wasn't that healthy. But I always read about his plans for 2022, he wanted to get back on stage and has recorded a couple of songs just last week. This one hits hard for me. Really admired his music and stage persona. So long, Meat. Thank you for everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Johnny Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 RIP Seeing how miserable my 70 year old parents are together I think of this as their song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Meat Loaf & Jim Steinman were one of the best collaborations of all time IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Meatloaf was awesome. I grew up on listening to Bat Out of Hell during long road trips with my family. I think that album holds up against almost any other album that came prior or after. Once I got the basics of piano down I asked my piano teacher to get me the sheet music for two songs: November Rain and I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That). Sadly, they don't make music like that anymore. A few years later my brother and I bought my parents tickets to see Meat Loaf at the closest casino. Recently we bought them tickets to the Bat Out Of Hell musical. My Mom turned 70 last year and I was going to buy a Cameo birthday greeting from Meatloaf for her birthday party, but because of Covid we decided to hold a smaller get together and didn't end up going through with the Meatloaf cameo appearance. He was one of my Mom's favourite artists so it would have been cool to surprise her with a video birthday greeting. Oh well. A true legend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I've never liked 1 second of music I've heard from Meatloaf BUT I know he was a legend and he also came off as a very cool dude. RIP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Well, this sucks! Another legend in rock music has died. I think he had covid, which really sucks, but his wife and kids and family and friends were with him. RIP Meatloaf! Hope you're in a better place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnR Chris Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Rockin’ the fuck out of Bat out of Hell right now. I listened to its sequel so much when it came out in 1993. It’s so weird, man. I hadn’t listened to Meat Loaf in a while, but I randomly threw on “I Would Do Anything for Love” on Thursday night/Friday morning around 3 a.m. Was sad to see news of his death when it broke a few hours later. Strange, this life. I was polluted, singing Meat Loaf at the top of my lungs at 3 a.m. while, unbeknownst to me, the man was lying down dying in a hospital bed. Rest in Paradise, my friend. Thanks for the beautiful songs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulled out my Meat Loaf Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra DVD and watched it for the last couple of hours. So great. And what I didn't realize before, it has an audio commentary with Meat Loaf. Great stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a single weak song from start to finish. I love "Out of the Frying Pan" from that show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him, the band, the orchestra, the songs. Top notch. And I really love "Life is a lemon..." that song just rocks.
